Well, I understand there would be some drawbacks when it comes to affordable housing.

Just trying to gather as much information as I can before making the plunge.

Moreover, it will be my first home puchase if everything jadi. That's not too much to ask for a would be first time home buyer right?

Thank you for your understanding bro. You got my concern completely right. First it's gonna be few decades long commitment. Second, I'm considering few affordable projects as there are few that fit my preference (walking distance away from MRT/LRT), mainly Brickfields, Kuchai Lama and Kepong. I'd really hope I can make the right decision that I can live with for the next 35 years lol.

You're correct on both counts. I'm referring to Lily Apartment in Kuchai Lama.

I love the relatively more peaceful site at Brickfields but there is barely anything erected on the site yet. And they are supposed to complete it by 2021, I'm worried there may be some delay on the delivery of the unit. And there isn't any restaurant within the vicinity.

I think I like the population demographic in Kuchai Lama more. A very bustling city and everything is within vicinity. Food, bank and etc. The only thing I'm uncomfortable with is that this developer seems inexperienced.

And I'm also looking at thriven global Rumawip project at kepong. I'm kinda like how thriven conduct themselves and the concept they bring to their project. But I heard the non-bumi lots have all been sold out and I'm unable to reach them to check (perhaps they are still on CNY leave).

ah yes. btw bro it's not rumawip but it's under PR1MA.

I've visited the site and it's about 10 min walk away from LRT bangsar.

God willing, if the river of life project comes to fruition (unlikely considering the current gov doesn't seem too keen on it), I think they are gonna build a pavement along the river bank which will take about 15 min walking time to midvalley in the future.

But there is a 10 year moratorium in which house cannot be transferred or sold.

Their thread here seems very lively though.
