Not surprising if the location is just so so. But if location is good especially at prime locations, I dont think this will happen.

Our bro here talking about the economy in general.

Not sure if this can be applied here. SA mentioned strictly only returning customers (customers who purchased properties from Setia) are entitled to discounts.

If not everybody will say I introduce one buyer, then mar have a lot of discounts.

Yes, you have to pay a certain fees or be a member of the club to enjoy the facilities. The maintainance fee is not including the fees to use the club facilities.

I heard most of the buyers are from Selayang and Kepong areas. I highly doubt it would be easy to collect maintainence fees from these people.

Yes, like condo and apartment, the management even has the right to cut off the water supply etc if the tenant refuses to pay maintainence fee.
But here, we are talking about the attitude and the mentality of certain people in regards to paying maintainence fees.

Definately no free club membership. Fess are not confirmed yet. This will depend on the Management later.

Believe me, Im in the RA for an upscale neighbourhood and there are still people who refuse to pay.

Oh...macam macam. Some refuse to pay outright. Especially some aged uncles, they can own a few luxury cars and an extensively renovated bungalow but still refuse to pay. And to make matters worse, they still want to show their 'lansi' face everytime then come in through the guardhouse.

There was even a case in DVilla, Kota Damansara where a resident took the RA to the courts for engaging security guards to patrol the area and "slowing down" his access to his own home. Of course, the resident loss in the case.

I would say those who refuse to pay are the older generation, maybe from the outskirts or kampung because they never had to pay for security before in their lifes. So asking them to pay now is like something not acceptable.

I never mentioned Templer's Park is prime area... where did you get this idea from? For people who live in the suburbs, Templer's Park is considered outskirts if you ask me. I like the concept though. Lush forests with lakes and creaks, I would think it would ne a nice place to retire in.

I dont say all are like that. Just put it that I know. Reasoning, look at the reply below.

You are talking to one. Though no more staying there.

Huh! Selayang is a haven for foreign workers, Templer's Park or rather Perangsang Templer is way further than Selayang Pasar Borong.

I didnt say all bro. But if you ask me why, I would say its their mentality.

Some people enjoy the peace and serenity of their surroundings.

Errr,. The maintainence fee quoted now is Rm400 to Rm500. I think it will be like Rm600 to rm700 in 3 years time.

Well.. all costs and prices only goes up. Btw 2 years after vp, there would be an option for the residents to form an RA to take over maintainence management from the developer. So this is where an active and efficient RA comes in the picture.

Thats why I say an effective and efficient RA comes into place. If not, it will be more haywire when the RA is not functioning well and gets disbanded later.

Yup.. agree on you with that. Thats why, I couldn't understand why some of those rich Chinamen Taukes last time, though damn rich but kiam like hell. Now I understand. Its with proper and careful + kiam management of their money thats why they are so rich now.

For a location like Templer's Park, Rm500 / Month maintainence is considered on the high side. Residents in Desa Parkcity only pay about Rm800 for standard double storey size terrace and thats including clubhouse facilities
