few years ago = yes. Now = subjective and depending on market. Own stay, everywhere also same. for investment, even KL address will bring you negative with surrounding element. therefore, it's better for you to make full research of the place you intend to invest.

did u invest in rawang? I have to say i disagreed with you. Rawang ain't a good place to invest during late 90s but definitely a good place to invest 5 years ago. just my 2 cents.

yes, agreed with you on the Traffic. But not during peak hour. It occur during off peak and weekend due to AEON attract most of rawang ppl there. i agreed on the lousy road condition. but if the access road is nice and easy, the price would had peaked. that's why you invest before the infra is up to gain more appreciation. just my 2 cents.

road upgrade is a must. it's the matter of time and waiting budget from government. I foresee this year will commence the work due to collected gst.

agreed too. however, location you mentioned above (except putrajaya) are merely 20km radius from KLCC? which in my opinion can't compare to rawang due to the distance. yes, i would agreed with you on potential of development which rawang don't have much mega project. but that doesn't mean it won't be a good place to invest. in investment, i would look at "potential" vs "establish" where rawang could be on the higher risk category. but nevertheless, high risk = high return. another of my 2 cents.

hmm... seems like PLUS 4th lane is still missing between Rawang - Sg. Buloh.

that's normal because many refer rawang = bkt beruntung and rawang = far.

Rawang also can invest. In fact, smaller town also can invest. the main concern is, how many % of return you want to get back and within how many years.

btw, it seems like Kepong Industrial Park or Puchong doesn't have big factory and truck.

Government no money la. have to postpone here and there. now gst in place, i think the construction will start sooner.

between toll to BCH, there is lamp post. not many and some are dim. Yes, i agreed township is badly plan. thanks to Tanco lo. 20 years ago it was a hype and promises by who else... "Tanco" and "B-end" lo. But thing change after 2008 where "pee-kay-are" took over. but still ... i think progress is slow. btw, few developers need to chip in money for Jln Bt Arang upgrade (toll to BTP junction). that's why it's a bit slow.

do give me a buzz if you drop by AEON. we can go yam cha.

hmm.... i usually dine at home. no money ma... eat at home is cheaper than eating outside. Mall food ok what. anyway, you can drop by Rawang Town for Lan Je Steam Fish. But i dislike because it's damn crowded. besides, there are many branches now. so... nothing much special. other than that, i had steamboat nearby tesco. most of the time, i go to BCH for "tai chau" or order dishes. food not too bad. This Tai Chau restaurant operated in BCH since '96 (if i recall correctly). alternatively, you can try the Garden Food Court @ Old Club House. But the food ain't that good and small portion.

Seems like Rawang dun have KTM, AEON, TGV, Starbucks, Private Hospital, Commercial, Hse, 4-Lane PLUS highway, LATAR, Guthrie. you call this ulu.

mid income ppl also travel. I also travel. I don't see a big issue to get to KLIA. I'm not travelling from Ipoh to KLIA anyway. I also work in Cyberjaya for 3 years. I don't see a big issue travelling everyday. If i was given a job in Cyberjaya now, i would take it up regardless of my staying. Perhaps you dislike travel and prefer to be near to KLIA. that's individual preference. When i travel up north to Ipoh / Pg, i save up 45 mins compare to ppl living nearby to KLIA. again... not everyone travel to ipoh. just my 2 cents.

semenyih very good. South ma.

cos in terms of distance to KLCC (City Center), semenyih is quite similar to Rawang. Rawang is approximately 38KM point to point. Semenyih shud be similar distance. If not, by extra 2 or 3 km. therefore, comparing apple to apple for those who like to compare. just my 2 cents.

yes. you are right. 2 hours before Departure to reach airport. If u stay in PJ, you will also need to leave around 5.30am. unless u stay in cyber where you leave 5.45am.

even those travel frequent also doesn't really choose dengkil or bangi. mostly will choose near to ERL which is cyber/putrajaya, salak tinggi, KL Sentral vicinity.

yup. i also park in Putrajaya Sentral. ERL is convenient. But issue is frequency. once missed the train, need to wait for another half hour. i kena 1 time before. haha. luckily i'd checked in and can straight walk in boarding.

i don't think that is happening. The Company is too small to engage such huge project.

MSC status company need to operate their office in MSC Certified area. Cyber is one of the place. If the company want to occupy larger corporate building or space, they can choose cyber. If no mistake, it's 5 years tax free. I'm not sure whether that still the same or not. Other incentives in Cyber, i'm not sure. but the ready fiber optic channel is available for a corporate to tap in for faster internet connectivity.

the issue with this MSC is, there are many place or building is certified MSC now. MSC company doesn't need to move to cyber. 2 area i know is, Bangsar South and i-City SA is certified as MSC area. So, those MSC company can run their business without relocating to Cyber. I still think Cyber has potential is MSC hype don't die-off. the problem i have with cyber is parking. I always have to park at road side when i attend to my customer.

MoU only. Not Contract. Rawang won't be bored without Theme Park. I'm waiting for Maison and Anggun City.

Depending on Bank and Address. THat is 5 or 6 years ago. Foreign bank except HSBC doesn't cater loan in rawang. HSBC can cater because they have a branch in Sg. Choh, Rawang.

Good. But no land clearing or whatsoever leh. Even PLUS highway also didn't block the lane to construct the Skybridge.

great.

that's the thing. Long time i didn't use highway travelling south bound. I use back road from Bestari Jaya. That's why.

On top of that, Flight Zone Hazard which HSE need to look into this for the event of inappropriate landing. I just came across this is HSE meeting this Morning. haha.

oops.. ya. mine is ocbc. forgot ocbc is foreign as well.

Actually how to determine good investment return? I'm curious? 10% increase of prop price per annum? or 100% of increase prop per annum? My experience say... take Cassis (EW) as e.g: 2 years ago selling price around 420K on average (correct me if i'm wrong) and current subsale which is newly VPed is around RM 550K. 130K for 2 years. not good?

let's take a bit further... M Residence 1. Back in 2012, purchase price is around RM 380K (on average). VPed in 2014 and transacted at RM 500K on average. 120K for 2 years. not good?

Anggun 1: 2007 on average RM 420K purchase price. VPed in 2010 (if i remember correctly) and transact around RM 550K. 130K gain in 2 or 3 years time. Not good?

Let's look at Shah Alam.
Damai Residence: 2010 on average RM 400K purchase price. VPed in 2012 and transacted around RM 530K. 150K gain in 2 years time. good? it's actually more or less the same.
