How much is the maintenance charge? Does it include a gym, and well manicured gardens and parks? Also by your account, those insiders want to keep the property meh? more places to goreng yoh in sunway iskandar perhaps>

If i am not wrong.... I know of some people who bought houses in the land of the FREE. *USA. Also have to pay to maintain their grass in the front lawn... if not overgrown... you can get evicted and house sold.

Then again, the issue should be about proper accounting and management of the funds collected.

Strata or individual... that is just the difference between legal obligation, and skirting the community responsibility.

Plus- cannot simply change facade and change the way a neat row of house look.

BTW- when TS says HH is good... there are also people who feel that staying close to golf course that uses herbicides to kill weeds... very odd yoh. Good luck TS drinking coffee in your compound.


Also, TS, can you also post the pricing for house in EB and HH for comparing sake.




Personally, I would prefer gated community without guards. If want guards, employ Gurkah or Android machines.

Additional facilities- that should be known from the start. If dont want such facilities, then dont buy. Feedback to developers that consumers only want to buy houses without facilities.

Anyway, making use of the facilities should be good healthy lifestyle... why reject so much.


Additional thoughts: BTW those people so rich buy the property. HH or EB/EW... those not your common fellows. I am sure they will challenge the management kau kau if they detect anything mischievious. The wolf among the wolves.

You mean Strata Title act - all the house owners cannot vote to reduce price of maintenance fee or evict Committee in charge? so imba one? At the end of the day, people buy house to stay in it and to invest. Who would buy house to lose money one....

anyhow, your advise is good. If cannot upkeep maintenance dont think about GG ect ect ect. Stay in Singapore HDB safe and cheap.

why buy house, pay for guards and keep the house empty?....

so when crash... swooop in to buy....

so true. Speculator pay for your 1man/20 acre development. Like you own the whole development.... live like King.

The Guards will Salute you each day you go in and out.

The Gardeners will offer your fresh flowers each day you go walk in the gardens.

The Maintenance guy will greet you like a boss each day you go watch movie in your Cinema.


Life is great when there are Strata title and speculators who failz.

The arguments are always flawed. But what is true though, always got people try to game the system.


Some people live to exploit others.

Be it - dont want to pay maintenance.

Or it- take money from maintenance but do Zero work and dont take responsibility.
