In 2008, it just an empty land. MKH came in to develop Pelangi Semenyih as a housing project and manage to bring Tesco, Pizza Hut, McD, KFC, Old Town etc into the area as it is today.

2013/2014, SPS / EW come to the same area again with many amenities already in place, and will fully exploit the advantage of LEKAS highway. As we all know, SPS / EW is 1 - 2 grade higher than MKH in terms of township development. Imagine what kind of things they can do on this area. No need long, 3-4 years from now we will be able to see..

Target different I presume.

Kwasa, Elmina, Bandar Puncak Alam, Desa Coafields is on the northwest side, targeting Damansara, Bandar Utama, Kepong, TTDI, Sunway people.

Kota Kemuning, Canal city, Serenia city is on the southwest side, targeting Puchong, Subang, cyberjaya, part of Shah Alam overflow and those working near KLIA.

Kajang, Semenyih, Bangi is on the east / southeast area, targeting people from Cheras, Ampang, Putrajaya people that needs better living standard landed houses.

Overall, you will noticed that generally houses in Kajang, Semenyih, Bangi offer better affordability..

Lol.. you will find living is hard even staying in Seremban / Ipoh... Stuffs are getting more costly nowadays..

Why can't stay? If one month just spend extra one or two hundred on the toll, it's still worth it, no? If you are using Cheras-Kajang highway, it will cost you RM 4.20 per day (RM 2 for Saga + RM 2.20 for Lekas), one month is less than RM 100.

Let say you stay in a place 15km from KL city center compare to Semenyih which is 35km away, means everyday you travel 40km extra, one month will be 800km extra. Because normally it is smooth traffic, I presume your car consumption is about 8km per litre. So extra 800km means 100 litres petrol extra, that's mean about RM 200 extra.
so total about RM 300 per month, translates to RM 3600 per year. Yeah, perhaps you will claim car run more, service more. Okay, let's make it RM 5k per year, 30 years only extra RM 150k..

You buy a same landed house at 15km away from KL city now, most likely already more than RM 150k than you can buy in Semenyih, not including the bank interest.

For me, the cost actually reduntant, the most essential part is the time spending on road. From KL back to Seri Kembangan and from KL back to Semenyih, I think the difference just merely 15 - 20 minutes if with smooth traffic.

With the current bad traffic, perhaps the time taken more or less about the same (as far as I know SK jam badly during peak hour), as Ecohill link is completed, there will be hardly got jam in Semenyih.

Okay, then how much petrol you spend staying in a small condo near KL?

If you married and got kids, still want to stay in the condo?

By the way, why don't buy two condo in KL instead? If you yourself also think don't like to stay in landed Semenyih, how would you think that there will be people willing to buy subsale from you?

Good, so that's mean your working place is near to LRT station and your current condo is near to LRT as well. Wondering if everyone can do that..

Fine, RM 3.20 per day, means RM 64 per month.


If I am staying in Semenyih and taking the public transport (KTM) like you did.

Toll fare from Kajang to KL sentral is RM 5.60 two way. One month is RM 112.

I will drive extra 25km a day to reach and back from the station, one month means 500 km extra, means about RM 125 petrol extra.

So every month I will pay extra RM 200, but with a rather comfortable 2 storey landed houses, no?


Putting yourself into other shoes is not one of the element you put into risk consideration?

House in Seri Kembangan is your own house or rent one? If rent one most likely can use the rent to cover already..

All 3 stations in Kajang town are around 10 - 15 minutes drive. Sungai Kantan is the nearest, got park and ride facility.

Taman Koperasi Cuepac station also have park and ride facility, but need to use the federal road to turn from the Tesco Kajang junction to reach Taman Koperasi Cuepacs.

Yeah, it would be convenient if the condo is own house, otherwise if paying the rent then is not worth. Ultimately after marry and have kids, still will looking for landed houses, unless able to afford condo more than >1500 sqf..

Lol.. that's the best.. Perhaps can keep the Semenyih house till after you marry.

If single, can stay anywhere, as long as you like it.

Kajang KTM if not mistaken is RM 5 per day.. Monthly pass I think about 30% cheaper.. I am pretty sure there will be a lot of feeder bus to MRT station in future as well..

Nevertheless, still think people will drive rather than taking train..

Condo security better than GnG?

Opps... I mean landed GnG...

RA later can try to make it at least FnG...

Okay, but at least and FnG can improve the value of the property better, or at least easier for subsale nowadays.

Challenging, but not to say impossible. Perhaps can start with phase by phase, of course if your road is blocking other taman, then it will be more problematic.
