Lol... You don't want pay toll? No problem, can use the Jalan Semenyih.. Just add extra 15 minutes from the time I mention above during the normal traffic period. If during peak period, for the time being need to add in another 20 - 30 minutes..

You always have choice to choose either using highway or not when commuting out from Semenyih when the Ecohill ready in 2 months time....

By the way, toll won't kill me much compare to traveling time.. Let say you spend RM 5 extra per day for using highway, 1 month 30 days only RM 150 or 1 year RM 1800 extra.. even 30 years also only RM 54k extra.. Let say toll rate raise up 100% during 30 years also maybe extra 100k only..

However, if you pick a unit that is closer to KL city center, I presume the price will be easily more than 100k..

I am more concern on traveling time than toll rate..

If Semenyih only a retirement village, do you think it will crazy jam during peak hour?

Lekas highway seldom jam for the time being as it is still underutilized.. Of course, one day I presume it won't be able to cope the high traffic as well. Nevertheless, when Lekas already can't cope with the traffic requirement, means Semenyih already decently developed..

Got, use Jalan Semenyih till Kajang-Semenyih Bypass, then connect to Cheras-Kajang Highway, go into Sungai Long and using the internal road connect to Bandar Mahkota Cheras, then go out from Mahkota Cheras and back to Cheras-Kajang Highway.. Then keep straight all the way to Loke Yew and KL city center..

How much time taken? God bless.. I willing to pay RM 1.00 to get rid of those hassle..

Erm... Yeah, there's no problem to wait till Semenyih more develop... However, when everything already in place, it means the place is already matured and you will find it is hard time to justify the price of the unit during that time...

Lol... That's why I keep on telling you, the new Ecohill link that DIRECT CONNECT to LEKAS shall be in ready in 2 months time... July 24th will have the official opening, we have a Maraton event to celebrate the opening.. Please come to understand how the new infra works..

Yeah, of course you can choose to not to stay in Semenyih and stay closer to KL city center.. As an exchange, the same unit most likely 100 - 200k extra, plus you won't have the great landscape in your housing area..

If you can't bear with it, it's your choice. It's people's preference to choose a unit with 100 - 200k lower with great landscape by compensating with paying toll and traveling time too.. Don't you think so? History tells us it is workable, Setia Alam, Kota Kemuning, Puchong are the real examples that we can see today..

Sorry, it's 26th July..

Well, Lekas is still under-used for the time being.. Another 5 years when whole area boom, then maybe we will see some impacts..

You are free to make any claims...

Same to me, of course my one is come with proof..

This is time taken from Bangsar to Semenyih in the morning period, as shared in youtube... Not sure which route you are using, perhaps in bangsar alone you already jam for more than 1 hour.

So far I don't think Semenyih is flood prone area, especially the area around Tesco such as Pelangi Semenyih 1 and 2.

The entrance to Sunway Semenyih, traffic light near Klinik Kesihatan Kajang heard got flood before, but in recent year MPKJ do put in effort to overcome the issue..

As a matter of fact, if using the Lekas Ecohill link, actually can bypass all these area, straight highway till the Setia Ecohill..

Honda owner now still need go to Kajang via Ecohill link, but in near future no need already, since new Honda sale and service center shall be opened in Semenyih next to McD...

By the way, share these video about traveling time between Lekas Semenyih and Cheras leisure mall.. traveling time about 30 minutes..

Uncle, you buy property by just listening to other people without any research/study ah?

What you now say good or no good also listen from other people one loh? Where's the accountability? You words only bring people hollan only...

Well, everyone has his own preference on the places they interested in, no right or wrong. If someone not interested in a certain area, just move on to other places. However, when making any claims about Semenyih, please be factual supported by evidences.

Every township also comes from sibeh ulu background.. Setia alam, kota kemuning, even puchong itself also used to come from sibeh ulu place mah... Place shall develop and grow, today sibeh ulu doesn't mean forever will sibeh ulu mah, no?

For a person like me who always travel in and out from Semenyih, I would said it is fairly convenient with the Lekas link. I personally have captured some videos about the travel and you may have a look on them to consider whether is it convenient or not.

Indeed, Semenyih also have many bank branches, such as Maybank, Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank, Ambank and Bank Islam. Why don't have amenities?

Unfortunately currently in Semenyih, for HSBC need to go to Kajang prima which is near to the Toyota and Nissan service center, 10 minutes drive from Lekas Semenyih.

CIMB also don't have yet, but have ATM machine in both Tesco and Petronas Pelangi Semenyih.

So far we have 3 Petronas, 1 Shell, 1 BHP, 1 Petron and 1 upcoming Petron (opposite McD) in Semenyih.

There are 7-11 in both Pelangi Semenyih 1 and 2, less than 5 minutes drive from Ecohill.

Semenyih don't have starbucks and coffee bean yet, I am expecting they will landed in Ecohill commercial soon.

Semenyih only have Old Town in Tesco Semenyih for the time being.

To get into NS highway, you can enter either from Putra Mahkota, Bangi or Kajang. Kajang more straighforward and highway all the way, but need to pay toll, 10 minutes drive. Putra Mahkota and Bangi need to use city road, but no need to pay toll, about 15 - 20 minutes to reach the NS toll point.

Lol.. 7-11 currently already available in Pelangi Semenyih, less than 5 minutes drive..

For Ikea Damansara is quite far, I very seldom go there. We are waiting the upcoming IKEA Cheras Cochrane, this one is much nearer to Semenyih.

For the time being, we can go to IOI city mall Putrajaya (15 minutes drive) for Index Living Mall and Home Pro.

Lol... This one I think need adaptation bro...

If let say your friend mostly in Klang / Shah Alam / Kota Kemuning, you will find the same problem too if you moving to Selayang / Wangsa Maju area as well...

With the upcoming Ecohill link, I presume the infra for Semenyih is already improved a lot, of course still got room for improvement. Comparatively, I personally think that Sungai Long / BMC area infra even worse, the traffic lights is as bad as Jalan Semenyih, very near to highway but don't have direct access.
