1) Retail car parks belongs to developer. not part of common facility. JMB has no say about it. not sure about valet parking.

2) Entertainmall belongs to developer. not JMB.

3) Yes, SW didn't plan for grocery. in fact, upload/unloading for retail shops are not easy.

4) From next year onwards, new JMB act will come in place. hopefully retail JMB fund can seperate from residential one.

5) a123, Please let me know/(pm) when/where is the next AGM. I want to know more. They have never invited me to any AGM.. hmm...

All Sifu,

Will 2014 budget affect Setiawalk price?

thanks for sharing~

But then the transactions might be slower due to being affected by the whole property market, am I right?

I am actually quite concerned about the rentals.

SW newsletter

u wanna be in the next JMB or not? i nominate sama lu  hehe

Can we sue JMB to jail?

say is easier than done

i been there before

I totally agreed with you. When comes to management of cash...trust no one. An external auditor needs to verify & check that all property owners maintenance fees are put in proper use.

Hints to choose best location.
Higher floor facing forest reserve will be the best, away from the noise either LDP and Pubs.
Better greenery view.
So far R3 will be best location block (Consider a little bit better than) as it more center location in SW. Less PH. Better facing either front or back.
More mature developed and less renovation works.

bro, intro sikit la. background, profession, area of expertise, any possible conflicts of interest, how much time can commit, prior jmb experience etc. wanna get you voted in leh, not only nominated. hehe.

noise at sw facing ldp is terrible. extremely terrible
i wonder how those residents survive
it starts every day from 8pm intermittently until 10-11pm where it starts to get really loud
club music is getting louder and louder with DJs shouting and shouting
suspect from beer factory or sector 7 and sometimes from muzeum
i understand JMB has reported to MPSJ but so far no solution

about the AGM, how to be nominated and elected?
why deadline is so short on 30Nov?
JMB should publish all candidates for some time before AGM so that owners have time to vote
picture, background of candidate, etc same like how people campaign for general election?
