There are few research paper on the hillside development which you can google it, this is some of those i found online.
Guideline for Hill Side Development

Class 1 - for slope of less than 15 degrees
Class 2 - for slope of 15-25 degrees
Class 3 - slope in between 25-35 degree
Class 4 - slope with > 35 degrees.

In Malaysia, class 4 hillside development is banned, class 3 is allowed with very strict monitoring from 12 departments involvements. Class 1-2 are allowed for developments.

The 42 acres of development land in D Foresta could be divided into 4 classes depending on the slope, Class 3 and 4 slopes (21 acres of them) are kept as it is as natural forest, it is important to keep it as the forest hold the rain waters and prevent landslides during the rainy seasons.

whereas the remaining 21 acres of land are class 1 (80%) and class 2 which is good for development.

Any reason given?

What's the reason then?

Thanks for the updated photos. However there is not much changes from my last visit in the third week of Dec. and I do notice all windows and block C, especially have been stopped for any installation/construction. The block c has remained stagnant at the second highest floor since long which makes me doubted why the constructor PYS does not complete it for merely 2 floors to go. Furthermore, the interior construction is done by different constructor which obviously does not interfer others progression.
On top of that, I heard from an insider that this project has been fully taken over by another co, where the construction work will only resume by then.
FYI, I had personally witnessed/experienced how Mayland delayed payment to constructors and eventually leading to the delay of handing over of keys. The Account Manager from Mayland has always advised the constructors to adapt to their culture and accept that the payment being late, this was the reason why PYS stopped and left behind the Cheras Sentral project eventually.
Tired of hearing all these...

Dear All,

I was shock after getting these picture from my friend.

The lift lobby/corridor railing looks so flimsy and dangerous.

Imagine that you standing at 20th floor and looking down, or kids sneak out from house playing at the corridor.

To all buyer, what is your comment??

Any organiser for the petition or post the railing pictures on the facebook of DF?

YES! Brick wall is more cheaper then metal railing, but base on installation metal railing is faster. So maybe they want hand over the key on time??

Phase 2 may delay.....

The 'artist impression' is one. Regardless what fine print you put there, the expectation is that it should look 95% like the 'artist impression'.

Does anyone knows details of the following issue?

Main Contractor: PYS Construction Sdn. Bhd.
- anyone heard of this contractor? Whether the workmanship of its previous projects are good?
- I heard Mayland Royal Regent has a lot of workmanship issue. Royal Regent happens to be constructed by PYS as well.

Sanitary Wear and Lift Brand
- I went to the sales gallery 3times and multiple times of call. None of them can provide the brand that they'll be providing.
- Lift plays a VERY IMPORTANT role that affects the workmanship of the whole condo, and thus the value of the property.
- I understand very well that Developer has absolute right to provide whatever brand they seem it, even the cheapest in costing terms. Still, we have the right to know.
- RM800K property, not something expensive, yet definitely not cheap at all.

Dont make sense to me that CCC not together but that was what a L&G staff told me when i call to ask when is the vp...she sounded that block C is behind schedule...maybe to avoid LAD due if vp not by dec 2015

I went to L&G office to submit the Syabas form as well.

What surprises me is the building 8trium developed by L&G.

I simply can't link this building with the word "premium" because everything looks basic, normal to me.

The tiles outside L&G office has got this disturbing sound when you step on it. It gives me the feeling that the tiles going to pop anytime.

The building entrance is occupied by Court Mammoth and building reception counter is so small and cheap. Therefore there is no grand entrance statement at all.

The lift lobby looks is also very basic without any decoration and the lift is not properly lighted and it is very dim.

The car park build quality is definitely not tier-1 with lots of visible defects.

I can't find the auto-pay machine as there is no proper sign to lead me there.

Before you exit the building, if you forget to pay the car park ticket. You need to turn left into basement and pay your ticket. Although there is a full circulation round the building, the design gives me the impression that I have come to a dead end and needs to drive into the basement car park.

With the above, I definitely hope for the better in damansara foresta because I can't accept what i have seen in 8trium.

Oh god, the railing looks like low cost flat, why not covered with wall instead....save cost?

Ignore him la....
Im one of the owner also. Its my dream house.
I do worry and concern bout it.

But...

Just like some ppl who so freaking psycho afraid of snake...couldnt even accept the idea of entering a jungle,as the only things they could think of is snake. Touch wood, i have entering parks,jungle,mountain for soooooooooo many times, i have never seen one. Where i see them? On highway,dead...or at carpark with bushes.

Yes it is possible for foresta to collapse,but so do other bad workmanship building.puchong taman intan is sinking,and there r landed property that we heard collapsed. Being on highland doesnt make it easier to fall down...bad workmanship are...

does look scary to most people

the fact that developer uses cheap looking steel railing over a brick wall for the walkways does not bode well for the premium on safety

Should lobby developers (new and existing developers around the vicinity) instead to construct additional roads / flyover, connecting to other main roads/ LDP.  Residen Association of BSD should lobby the developers of Damansara Foresta, etc to built instead. If no additional road / flyover, then should lobby the developer(s) from having any new development projects in BSD.

Developers are the ones who are raking in million of profits. Residen Association of BSD shouldn't make the residents of Sutera Damansara suffer. Sutera Damansara residents ALSO pay taxes to the Govt. Hence, should be allowed to use any common roads.

Given the benefit of not having to pay LDP toll, the Residents Association of Bandar Sri Damansara should put more efforts to lobby for the access road to Damansara Perdana to be opened up. Then, with accessibility from Sutera Damansara - Bandar Sri Damansara - Damansara Perdana (if materialise), the residents will be           

High dense

Since last time we end up nothing talking to the developer, let's make it work this time.
On DF Facebook page, there also many buyer very unhappy with the same thing also.
The only problem that we have to consider now is who can be the leader?
Or will it be better if the DF Facebook page buyers cooperate together with us against this issue?
To whom that have more experienced, when is the right time to talk to the developer?
Or we have to wait for the VP time only can do something?
