Anyone lodge complain to MPSJ before? Have they ever came for enforcement?

Any trial of residents holding banners by the roadside of LDP followed by press conference?

Get the Puchong state assemblyman or MP's assistance?

Went to Grand Shanghai for dinner last Sat, jam pack with people...

Cannot see the clear line of differentiation between residence and commercial, normally a good mixed development design should have clear separate lobby/entrance, different carpark entrance etc...in SW case, like all rojak already...

To clarify, what I meant was the demarcation between residence and commercial was not "clear" enough to create the impression/feel that they are indeed separated, both physically & psychologically. If not, there would not be complaints by residents that they are being "disturbed" by the commercial activities. A good mixed development design over such a "large" piece of land (unlike a single block development) should be able to minimize the above complaints.

If u look at the "congested" site plan below and u are given the chance to re-design the "clear" separation between residential & commercial, am sure that some of us can do a better job. Of course, the developer could have created the current design to maximize saleable area... tongue.gif

If you compare this with say KL ECO City (by same developer) site plan, they have kept

1) all the residential towers in the left sector to maintain its "peace"
2) office towers with retail hub (linked to the KTM & Midvalley) in the center sector as this would be the sector with the most commercial activities but conveniently accessible by the residential towers and the boutique offices
3) Boutique offices which they sold enbloc or by entire floor in the right sector so as to provide "exclusivity" to those exclusive business entities

Actually there is no clear demarcation of what a pub is.
As the name shall present it as dining pot, it easily falls into the category of food and beverages. Sadly but true, BF and Sector 7 is in food and beverages business.

Pub need the liquor license in order to sell alcohol and the license states the time they can sell

why pub is a crowd puller?
pub pulls questionable characters
not that all drinkers are questionable but you can actually see it certain tables
there were one fight before i heard in the car park of sw
even in one of the residential blocks after party
a good dining concept will also pull crowds. why people drive to klang for seafood telok gong? so food can also pull crowds

DP should be dining pot as planned by sp setia.
a123, is there any term in the agreement that says the tenant/owner of DP must adhere to this? only for restaurants and not pub? sp setial should control this. now it seems like no control. i think the corner pub already closed near caring pharmacy.
it is okay to have something like TGIF and serve beers but not open concept blasting, DJ shouting like last night around 11pm.
*
Pls check the DMC (deed of mutual covenants) for the commercial units, are there any covenants on the type of business which are prohibited. SP Setia and now JMB has the contractual rights as per the DMC to regulate

Just came back from the newly opened Main Place Mall at USJ 21. Quite a decent neighborhood mall with a good mix of quality tenants - http://www.mainplace.com.my/mall/. I must say their mall management team had done a good job, despite the mall being once an abandoned project.

As for Setiawalk Mall. Sigh...
*
Main Place appointed an experience mall mgt co from day one who is managing one Utama, paradigm n subang empire. SPS only put their heart n soul in managing Setia city mall only. if they put only 50% of the same commitment into setiawalk the story will be very different today

IMO, Setiawalk mall has an edge owing to its cineplex, fitness center and KTV, not to mention a variety of retail and F&B outlets in a nice landscape with water features just outside the mall. It's a shame the mall management team didn't leverage on this head start to achieve more success.
*
It was plan as an entertainment mall only n not as a full fledged mall for all ages n for all types of shopping needs. Will not be able to compare with a complete mall

i think people can accept sw concept but it just so bad that from the outside LDP the whole sw is still pretty much dead until you go inside
people still come in droves to sw from the traffic jam of people walking along the shops but people prefer shopping malls because availability of toilets is one and all inside with air cond. in sw, where is the toilet? there is none except walking into one of the shops or until the end at the mall area.

one city and main place all do one thing. they advertise full page in the newspaper. sw? i have not seen any except the last one probably sponsored by red tomato over the valentine event.
so is sw overly confident by virtue that they are SP SETIA?

Open concept retail is still picking up very slowly in Malaysia unlike some overseas country

Citta Malla, Center Point are not going anywhere. The Curve, with open air for the F&B area is also joined to the aircon side of Curve and IPC

Most family prefer the comfort of aircon in our weather rather than sweat while shopping

Management is now under JMB. Developer only has two of the 13 in JMC. It has a larger controlling interest once strata title is issued when voting is by share units. This will be the time where people like me will be voted out for my effort at exposing many financial, technical and management errors (not important whether they were deliberate). Anyway I have only promised  to serve one year from the very beginning. So this cannot influence my impartiality. Management is so poor that I cannot fight to be more transparent until the source of the problem is fixed. Doing so would affect investors confidence! The problems and frustrations at JMC level have even cause the Chairman to resign in the past week. As part of my transparency promise, I hope to fight to make available to all owners quarterly management accounts once new FM settles down.

Bear in mind JMB got to follow all legalities. JMB may be sued by owners for loses due to the effects of its decisions like in Bf case. Reality dictates the developer's original vision is no longer practical.
*
It will be a long long time until the strata titles are out before MC can be formed so believed many things can be done and if need support, just call a EGM to get the mandate. How many % of total shared units does the developer own? Has a third party professional property management company being considered to be appointed to carry out the job...?

Not now but soon would be. This is when MC is formed and Act 757 is implemented. That is why current JMB can replace  current developer FM - effective  from 1st June although there was a strong counter offer effort from developer. When developer is in control it may bring back its own FM! The only way to stop that would be to get more than 20% of owners to stop  it in an AGM or EGM. But last AGM only  about 10% attended! Developer is a top tier one but its fm is not quite up to expectation yet. Any ideas how to get more owners to attend AGM?
*
Form a committee team and assign with role of knocking on doors of units to explain n persuade owners to attend, form facebook/email group to enhance communication, introduce profile of committee members with good background n credential like political parties campaign seeking for vote at AGM....if this doesn't work, too bad loh...

As part of my transparency pledge, I intend to propose to JMB to provide an unofficial abstract of the minutes of all future official JMC meetings.

This is to keep all owners and registered tenants informed of the main matters arising in JMB.

It will be placed in the web site site where only owners and registered tenants can check their accounts online. This online system is expected to be set up by July this year.

I need everyone's support to sell this idea to JMB for its adoption. Please assist this effort by indicating your opinion.

Some JMC members may be hesitant but we got to help them understand owners and tenants are part of JMB. It is right/good they know the main happenings in JMB should they wish to. Time sensitive and confidential information as well as operational details would be excluded until such time when their release are appropriate.
*
Need not be minutes as members may be concern on people knowing who say what n may not speak freely. Maybe highlights of any decision made with rationale n justification, future action n improvement plan etc will be useful

Can the management do something about the signboards to enhance value to all? Wouldn't take a lot of effort or high cost, right? Why not resolve the issue than let it become a complaint?

Hi Davkong, i believe it is mainly not of a technology issue but more of a concept, you can easily access the other shoplots in puchong jaya via various entrance but entering in SW commerical area, some ppl might think twice or thrice.... mostly i believe the commercial in SW is to cater for it's own  SW residential owner rather than to the public as a whole. I been travelling along the main road infront of this SW commercial unit for years now, but it never occured to me to drop by this places to check it out as the accessibility seems to be a hindrance for further development of this area... hopefully things will change with the new flyover  thumbup.gif

If the commercial inside SW have no interest from the public besides the residents, just the internal competition within will result in not many operators will survive

Even sometime organising some SW Events, but nobody know from outside for those pass by SW on LDP.
There shall be an obvious place to show a banner on any events. That shall be a structure design to be easily hold up any banners without using skylifter.
I saw IOI Mall (the putrajaya one) having a good design allow banner easily hangup by existing structure. SPS, the architectect, please learn from others who experience in commercial like WCT Paradigm, how to allow banner put up easily.
The other factor, Malaysia weather, with this open concept, will not work for a commercial. Especially ladies, they dun like to shop and sweat.
The only way to improve, plant more bigger trees inside and cleanup the dropping  leaves often.
I believe, SW as a location at center of Puchong, yet beside the busy road, should already hv the properties in it to grow but with a right design.
*
If SPS can manage Setia City Mall n win awards, they just need to allocate 20% similar resources to SW to at least resolve those repeated complain. But alas, Setia City Mall is not sold n every improvement goes towards the rental income n value of their priced asset. For SW, mostly sold except is it the Entertainment Mall is still managed by SPS?

Bro, different ma...in country with 4 seasons, after going through the cold cold winter, u look forward to the warm summer sun...

In Malaysia, everyday is summer so people look forward to air-cond especially if they go shopping becoz they want to enjoy...we shower 2 times a day, people with 4 seasons may only shower few day one time in winter

Just like Citta Mall, many people shy away becoz of the non-aircond common area

Sorry, Bro, typical Malaysian

why are they so lousy in turning sw to become an award winning place? they wanted to copy jaya one

it is already so long
we can only wait for flyover to complete then ?
will completion of flyover will ensure 100% tenants entering sw and make the place more happening?
