There's actually 3-4 really good jap food along OKR, budget to high end ones, where people really do travel to eat there. I'm one of em, and couple of these places are actually packed with people. Not just serving resident around the area only. The jap rest in MV are mostly franchise, while the ones at OKR are stand alone/ boutique restaurants.

I am. Born and bred in OKR actually. Primary and secondary school as well. Nearly went into college here as well. (For those who remembers, it was Prime college that merged with Systematic college then became Segi.). So I'm very familiar with the area. My extended family stays in OKR. My in laws as well.

I moved away from OKR about 7 years ago because of personal reasons but I'll be moving back after this.

Anyway, the plans are just an indication on how you can arrange your furniture. Don't have to follow 100%.

Well, according to the replies previously throughout this thread,
- attention to detail (not so much for type G)
- niche developer so they will properly do this project because they want their reputation, etc (but goes both ways, can be bad as well because lack of experience)
- location?
- freehold?
- low density? (Which probably means higher maintanence fees)
- commercial shop lots (also goes both ways, personally would prefer without em)

I meant, reputation to protect if they want to continue developing under the same name in Malaysia.

Of course, like I've said, it could go both ways. It could be that they don't really care and this is just a throwaway company to earn a quick buck. Who really knows.

Anyone have any idea on when we get to sign the SYABAS form/ indemnity + TNB forms? I noticed that we weren't asked to sign those during the signing process.

I'm curious. Does anyone know what Ba-sheng offered before the HOC scheme come into play? Did they include free MOT stamp duty or free Loan Document stamp duty?

lokgotz, I think you bought before the HOC came in right? Did they absorb the MOT stamp duty cost?
Sidenote: Anyone here have experience with Bravat/ Teka items? are they good? The sales agents emphasise on the quality of these brands and items offered but I don't think I've heard of Bravat or Teka before. Just mostly Electrolux and grohe (?)

First time hearing Teka is below Electrosux.

Not super high end. But Teka is definitely not below Electrolux. I would say on par.

There are Johnson suisse sanitary ware that are more exclusive and more high end than hans grohe.

My point is, even with the same brand, there are different range of products catered to different price range.

Johnson Suisse is a Malaysia brand.

I meant it as an example and it was bad. lol. I was replying in a hurry and Johnson Suisse came to mind.

Not sure if roca bought over jonhson suisse or not. I think it is related to GBH but I may be wrong.

I mean.. I hope the brand they choose to supply the units with will be of good quality. I'm sure even if Teka isn't as great as Electrolux, Teka probably has higher spec models which are of great quality as well. Bravat too.

After all, one of the marketing strategies that they have is that they pay high attention to the "small" stuff.

Not sure but by looking at the first schedule of the SPA, the storey plan does indicate that the car parking starts from floor 1 (which also has commercial space). So there are 8 levels of parking space.

Teka is good brand la, maybe you are thinking of Deka....lol
Definitely better than Samsung, Electrolux or Bosch
Grohe is crap. HansGrohe is much higher range.

As for the moving tiles thingy, no need go Marina Bay, go to Lorong Ceylon this building called Menara PMI can see already - (blue thingy on the right)
no big deal imho

why everyone arguing on the freebies? the most important still back to the quality location and the condo layout..

freebies or feel good factor, it is all come from the money we pay. Dont tell me any others project willing to FREE you anything from their net profit.

Feel hard to communicate with your offensive way.

Hi all, I had recently viewed AVARA and am quite impressed with their offer. However, I do have some queries and i am hoping to get some knowledge from you all on the followings:-

1) any idea on how good their contractor Wong Brother's Building Construction Sdn Bhd is? with my google knowledge (which may not be accurate), it seems to suggest that Wong Brothers' Building Construction Sdn. Bhd. reported a net sales revenue drop of 59.91% in 2017. Its’ total assets recorded a negative growth of 18.63%. Is this something to be worried about?

2) i have also looked through the SPA for AVARA and realised that under Schedule IV of the Building desciption, the materials used for the glass windows, timber flooring etc are not stated. Although I know this is standard and normal for developers to protect themselves in the event they cant deliver what they promise, we will be bound by the terms and conditions of the SPA. Point is, wouldn't there be a possibility that the developer would give us something completely different from what has been claimed to be premium fitting? the definition of something premium is so wide and one person's interpretation of it can be completely different from another, right?

3) Since this is Ba Sheng's 1st development in Malaysia ( I am aware of their developments in Papua New Guinea, however, just saying that different country has different building requirements/ standards and laws) would like to know if anyone of you know what is the contractor all risk policy like with the bank in the event of any abandonment of this project?

4) and lastly, how do you perceive the future of this project to be like and why do have such high confident on this developer?

Would appreciate your input to my questions above. Thanks!!

Never thought of this before. It would actually be awesome if they'd allow it and at a reasonable cost though.
