Oh yes, perennial, if I can recall correctly...
Back in mid-70s the Cheras jam was already there, from All St Church to Tmn Pertama roundabout then to Midah/Billion roundabout..

In the early 80s, the jam extended to Connaught and even further.
There came the ramp-road from Tmn Mutiara Barat to Midah. Toll paid but still jam all the way to Midah. Toll abolished.

Then there came East-West Link. Toll paid. Jam all the way to PJ. Toll abolished.
MRR2 built. Traffic not much improved. Jam from Pandan to Midah/Billion roundabout, until today

The jam was getting worse until Kajang.
In 1999, Grand Saga Highway was in operation. You know the story since.
No need to decsribe about the jam at Cheras Sentral.

There is SUKE proposal, but some resident tak suka.

Of all the highways built at Cheras, it did not help in mid-to-long term.
Jam is still there as you have witnessed today.

So, will MRT help? You hve the answer in your mind already.....

they should build massive feeder busses to all MRT/LRT stations.

From the article, the one that worries me most is the 10k units of Soho and apartments.
What are these projects? EKC?
Pls advise...

Back Liao Lo.....why? U missed me?lol,sound so gay

LOL ... Curious why not reading your posts only...
Me straight guy! LOL

Mont Kiara rm 2.93psf without MRT
EKC with MRT plus environment around is chinese foods, chinese school and all its facilities,
easily to get at least rm 1 up, that will bring it to rm 3.93psf

rm 3.93 (762sf) = almost 3K

It sounds great to me, if we can get rm3.93psf!!
BTW, just curious, do you still keep the BlkJ unit?

Nope,just blok H

Do you guys think its still worth it to get a unit at the current pricing of around 750psf? Im a fresh grad... just got back from Singapore.

Rich fresh grad spotted. If u wanna stay there then ok la, if wanna invest then mus compete with all these other taikors

Ermm, this is hard to stomach. Although MK doesn't have chinese food/school, it's still Mont Kiara and people will ALWAYS look up to people staying there even though the condo's there are cheap by todays standards (looking at things like Tropicana Gardens n outskirt condo's).

I think EKC will command the same rental of MK lor.

should be ok Neonikson lolz

I'm happy if can rent out for rm2.5k, just nice to service the loan.

im happy to rent at rm3.2k, just nice to serve the loan.

Emm... Fresh grad... For own stay is OK. For investment, in order to have a successful investment you need to have holding power. Can you service the loan payment for 2 years if the unit is not rented out?

Ah soon kor is you unit 762sf duplex soho?

So what's the latest on the ekomall?

mine is bigger unit.

KL and PJ is commercial business centre and the federal road is spacious then jln loke yew.
yet there are lrt connected from ldp to federal and to klcc.

if you stay in cheras and the working opportunity is there and yet the public transport not fully covered, you will definitely need buy a car and drive along the way, that where the jam come from.

MRT is definitely can help to ease up the way to kl, but not the way to PJ so far.

In your opinion, MRT will help to ease up the way to KL, for how long?
Less than 5 years? Less than 10 years? Or forever?
