you are right
it has been rebranded for about 1 week or so due to malfunctioned LED lighting (is it LED or normal lighting tubes?)
apparently the LED lighting is of low quality and i don't know those managing it has the ability to monitor and get the supplier to rectify it asap. this kind of thing also happens sometimes you see building around in klang valley
SCT A WALK does sound cooler then setia

one you pay to management office
another you pay direct to MPSJ
quick pay MPSJ else RM 5 charge for late payment

agree. definitely.
maybe it is because there is no rule so the jmb members will not actually spend time doing something which does not benefit them. it is hard to find member who is genuinely passionate about building the development, fighting for owners and residents, etc.
hope a123 consider taking the next term.

probably some of the jmb members have vested interest in some of the commercial tenants?

is this invested by jmb, open for tenants to advertise by paying a premium(rate/charges determined by jmb), and for jmb to recoup the investment in due course? hope it will not be subject to vandalism by drunkards.

i believe there is serious need to look into those less prime areas. those hidden in the corner and i continue to wonder why no takers for the many empty lots near the awave side
other JMB members gotta to listen to all possible suggestions
if they don't and do not provide reasonable feedback, it can only mean something. = hidden agenda or just lazy to do more?

a123, from your explanation, it means JMB plays no part with this advertising initiative?
is like JMB approves or awarded outside A&P agency to enter SW.
this A&P agency will invest in their panels based on JMB guidelines if any.
they derive income from outside or anyone who wants to advertise to contact them
(i think is fair advertising is for sw tenants and not outsider right?) it does not make sense if a tenant in IOI boulevard wants to advertise in sw to pull crowds over?)
JMB plays no part in this but just monitor
is this right?

do you want to pursue this with PMC or JMB? whether this can be discussed further at their level or is next AGM in Dec 2014?
i agree at least one CCTV is good at level 7.
some condos i see even every floor has a CCTV and they need card to use the lift to go to their respective floors. this is top security. whether trigon has this or not since they are luxury condo.

No RM in the Agreement. Is this normal?
Awarding of parties to operate in SW without monetary value and benefit to JMB?

the main purpose of this initiative must be made clear. if it is to help existing commercial tenants (especially those in 1st floor and hidden in the corner) then there should not be outsider adverts. it is to help commercial tenants promote and guide visitors to their premises. we want all commercial tenants to flourish. JMB should also has the right i think to review and ensure the fee payable to the awarded agency be reasonable. otherwise no takers and eventually those with big pocket from outside will occupy it all.

yes, sometimes it happens so everyone must make sure the door is properly closed (or push it to close).
of course with additional access card needed to press the button inside the lift brings security to another level
it also prevents those trying to enter by following a resident closely from behind
they can enter the lift area and lift but they will not be able to go as they like to any floor
just to the floor of the residents the most they can follow
and suspicious character and behaviour can be reported to security easily.
i don't know what they call this nowadays with some developers claim to offer 3 tier, 4 tier security...
so all this can be improved and hopefully there is room for JMB to invest in the future when there is extra cash
as a123 mentioned, it is based on priority so we can propose and wait...

questions:
is the online system (platform) for owners only?
what if owners do not live there?
then how does tenant complain?
if username and ID are given to tenants, then how owners be part of it so that owners know what is happening there in sw? for example every filed complaint can be cc to owners?

thanks a123 for the update; appreciated
does it mean court ruling is in favour of jmb and bf counter-suit has been dismissed with no further impact to jmb?

any specific dates when bf has to comply? otherwise, it can be dragged longer than 2 months. noise should not be pervasive in any of the residential units regardless of the day and time. this is a violation of the rights of the community to have a livable environment.

although i can say there has been improvement since the last few weeks, not sure whether a direct result of this lawsuit or other complaints, as of today, loud music can still be heard every night at certain time (no more until 3am and not as audible dance music but still can hear live music and feel the vibration like from a live band but does not sound like a singer is that good. probably being played from mtv). i always thought the music could be from v-park at the top as they operate the same open concept but at nights when they were not operating loud music can still be heard and confirmed from bf-s7.

noise is a serious issue in sw. it is excessive and offensive. hard for anyone to understand until you live in one that is affected. apart from bf, muzeum does play loud music but probably more audible in r3 and hence they should follow the same rule being applied to bf.

jantan betina howling with excitement, like mating call, can be heard during the night and after closing due to the dj soliciting for such a call. people can do what they want. no objection; but please do it without affecting the community living in the residential blocks. birthday songs can be heard almost every night. it sounds like “that is the place” to celebrate getting old.

as i have previously posted, no objection to pubs operating in sw but they gotta understand there are residential blocks behind. it is simple. respecting the community. you want soju sunway then make sure your premises operate like soju sunway. you want open concept dining and drinking, make sure your premises does not play like mad. creative business outlets continue to make money despite not playing loud music.

so that means the ugly bricks will be demolished? or most likely be masked by something else like another wall painted with something else? isn’t this supposed to be the front as well, 360 degree kind of pod? this way, at least customers can walk into it from behind and r2 can see better view.

during renovation, will bf be shut? i hope so to have peaceful nights but i doubt it. they probably still want business.

water landscape in front of r3 is as per developer design and too bad that r2 does not have it and is blocked by dining pod structure. if you look up, the 1st floor is damn ugly. full of what like empty carton boxes or something. imagine if someone runs it like an open dining concept with balcony it would be much more attractive. like eat in seafood restaurant next to sea.

all areas inside of sw should be under jmb i believe?

the common area should be cleared completely both left and right. no? it should be as per developer master plan where visitors can walk across to the other side freely. disappointed to hear that they are allowed to maintain the glass structure. or is it jmb decision to maintain this structure taking over the right of this property from bf??

as long as the glass structure remains, there is a tendency to believe that the area underneath the structure still belongs to them and sure through the test of time you can see stuff cropping up and being extended to this area. all speakers should be removed from the glass structure and i realise that the design of sw allows noise deflection to r2 straight.

i know they want to operate like club. they should comply to build sound isolation walls and doors. even before end of official hour, excessive noise, pervasive in residential units is not acceptable. just imagine someone doing renovation and drilling next to your unit 9-5pm, 365 days. this is what bf has been causing to the residents. no holiday. 365 nights.

could jmb apply a ruling on the noise limit applied in sw? like below 50dba?
jmb can be the 1st to propose and apply this with common understanding from mpsj as the local council and doe. it is not about closing earlier than allowed. most retailers/dining operators close at 1am but why bf is allowed until 3am? why?
not only on bf, noise ruling should be made clear to muzeum, v park at the top, and other pubs. if not we can see recurrence once a new operator takes over.
when there is no control we always see people getting loose.
measurement taken at level 7 common facility is good start but i wonder whether noise reading will be different for every floor up until the top due to noise deflection. so it should be checked every few floors up just to have better understanding.


Here is DOE guideline:

surprisingly you can see a funny laminated sign there showing on the pillar no sitting is allowed
wonder who did that?
usually bf staff sit there and also sometimes from fat boy cook
how? we can do like india
shoot water at those sitting there where india shoot water at those peeing in public...

a123, have those outlets operating onto the walkway been given permission by jmb?
have they paid rental to jmb for use of common area?
the korean fried rice outlet dak galbi is now like full fledged... tables all out to near side of r3 walkway
another korean outlet did the same onto wooden walkway

i really hope there is a solution and control of the noise
last night bf had reared its ugly head again

the dBA you specified could be one-off, but not continuously
try continuously, and at times, steady-state, you will understand how bad it is
residents staying close to LDP highway and future LRT line can expect some noises but not noises (amplified music) created by pubs. worst is vibration
if sw was built next to say Beach Club / stadium, then there is nothing much to say as it was already known. people did not buy sw expecting there would be loud music every single night

other pubs do not create much noises except bf
i have tried hard to tolerate but residents cannot suffer as a result of one irresponsible pub operator
control and enforcement are crucial to resolve this menace and to prevent recurrence

i know you owned commercial unit(s) and it is logical commercial owners would want sw to be vibrant (same with residential owners) but vibrancy does not have to depend solely on pubs. look at the number of crowds during the day and night
it is vibrant! many residents would want a conducive environment to sleep. how to tolerate with loud music and vibration when you go to bed?
there is no way out really at the moment except to stay up late
continuous exposure to vibration has somehow caused building walls to crack
official end of opening hours should be 10pm. why bf is allowed to operate until late? of course it is understood pubs can operate until 1am (not 3am) but the music should not be played loud after 10pm.
just imagine residents cannot sleep before 1am. you know how bad? every day you have to go to bed after 1am.

commercial tenants do not create noises. it is peaceful except shouting by DJs and patrons, live bands/playing loud music by bf every single night. in the end, it deprives residents the right to sleep when they want to sleep. it seems like sw is designed and built by sp setia for residents to suffer… or some may say 50% of residents suffer as a result of their units facing the front.

so far no sign of renovation yet at bf
so you meant this lawsuit is still ongoing

i don't see any marking tapes so far (besides, it is ugly i think to put masking tapes on the floor near side of R3 entrance)
anybody sees it at the wooden walkway of the new korean restaurant where they allow steamboat next to the water landscape?

CCTV in the lift is for? prevent vandalism eg by contractor or visitor?
how to prevent access by residents after 10pm at level 7 with glass door? you meant this glass door will be locked even if there is EM access there?

lift access to specific level is for what? which specific level? means resident can only go to their floor and not other floors?
reduction of security guards (manpower cost) = CCTV cost?

water quality. there is a strange smell from showerhead for some time already. has the main water tank been checked? any filter there?
lift area walls are full of stains. i can’t believe this state after a short period of time.
