A FOUR-hour dialogue between the authorities and residents of Bandar Country Homes (BCH), Rawang, as well as surrounding townships proved to be an eye-opener for both parties.

Among the issues raised were crime such as snatch thefts and house break-ins, limited Internet and mobile phone network coverage, floods, traffic congestion, untrimmed trees, mat rempit and uncollected rubbish.

Acacia Phase 1 buyers: I received copy of bill (original went to bank) for first 10%. Called lawyer and they said loan agreement is not ready as land is charged to RHB Islamic, need to be released before loan agreement can be completed. Not sure how long this will take. Any other buyers with different experience to share?

Yep same same.

Thanks frenken. Check it out here: Progress Apr - Jun 2015

The new Bandar Tasik Puteri (BTP) location uploaded in BTP Official Website. We can clearly read that the Latar Interchange will be completed by mid 2016. Hopefully everything turns out as planned.

Good news: Jalan Rawang-Batu Arang expansion is under wayhttp://www.thestar.com.my/Metro/Community/2015/07/02/Smoother-drive-for-Rawang-residents-RM250mil-Jalan-RawangBatu-Arang-expansion-to-take-three-years-to/

Got it like 2-3 weeks ago.

I have not receive it. Developer said they will prepare the full rebate in a cheque once the first drawdown with the bank happens.

It has yet to happen for my case as developer needs to have RHB Islamic release the charge to land before my bank can charge it and put it to my loan agreement. Developer confirmed that no late payment penalty on this since it was their own delay.

Any Acacia Phase 1 owners that have receive your rebate?

Acacia Phase 1: 12% discount

10% downpayment, we only paid 3% from own pocket - 7% came from discount

total discount 12% - 7% used for downpayment = 5%

this 5% is the rebate that we are waiting

I thought Phase 2 was the same. How much discount you guys got?

Have not, there is pending land transfer (current land for Acacia is charge to RHB Islamic by Lowyat). RHB needs to release it before my bank (CIMB) can effect in my loan agreement. Due to this, there is delay in drawdown of the first 10%.

Yes aware of this. We need to form the Residents' Association (RA) within the year. Now sure how RA works though.

Good thing about this we do not start servicing any bank's interest. Not sure how long the developer will take to clear this.

MOT no discount, we need to pay for MOT after 1-2 years we get the keys, depending on how fast the developer submits.

For SPA and LA, it is fully subsidized by developer - so whether it is 50% or not does not matter.
