I live not far from Southern Acid. Not sure about working environment there, Southern Acid is about 1.5km from town. but the Tamans nearby Southern Acid are majoritily Indian and malays, with the chinese concentrates more in the town. rent are cheap, perhaps about RM400 u can get the whole house to yourself. Dont think i have heard anything about room rental in my area though.
Security wise, i cant speak for other tamans, but in my taman, usually we mind our own business and no issues thus far. Havent heard of any break-ins for as long as i can remember, but that is just the 2 streets of my taman lah... other places i dono. just beside my taman there is a Flats with some empty units and it seems like quite a peaceful place to live for short term rentals too.
If you choose to live in town then i guess the amenities are more or less the same as if u live anywhere in selangor. basically it has everything u needed. marts such as 99 and econsave are available, in fact there is an econsave cash 'n' carry right opposite of southern. KFC Pizza Hut pun ada, banks like BSN, Maybank, Public, and Hongleong pun ada, RHB only have an EASY outlet, no full fledged bank. what else.... standard outskirt town punya stuffs la....
if you have a kapchai, then basically your movement freedom are guaranteed, no matter where u live. if you have to drive theni would suggest not to live in town because the jam at the traffic lights is quite annoying during the morning rush hours. for food, i would say that it is generally cheaper than KL standard, a bowl of mee u still can eat for less than RM5, but do not expect anything that is heavenly lah. can eat, stuff your stomach full and be gone.
