In my view, once EM almost fully developed, EM would be the name itself, not part of Semenyih nor Beranang anymore. Probably Tasik Kesuma, part of Semenyih and Beranang would claim they are EM or near EM.

The problem with batu kawan now is a lot of house there and also surrounding at tambun. Those houses got owners, but not many actually really staying in it! Batu kawan and tambun there still lack of job opportunity, not many factory like at Prai and Bayan Lepas.

Penang gov need to really do something on this.

Lol, the hat is too high. And i am just the coordinator boss
Long way to learn yet from all the TK tat attended the discussion last weekend.

No prob, penang got LGE.

Price too high in island. Cannot compete with foreigners especially from kiasuland.

Yes betul pun. Just like DPC. Ppl don't call it Kepong or Manjalara

Never put high hope or count on politicians.
They talk no need 本钱, they can just blow water.

If u ask me, LGE can focus to develop mainland rather than island since island land is limited.

But still he go reclaim land from the sea, develop hill top, the hill become botak. Environment disaster.

In ES there is President Wong.

In EM who shall it be? There are many potential candidates ya. Looking at the high number of forumers here, there is bound to be ONE who is highly passionate. Hehe.

We have those like "Speaker of Semenyih", high class mamak operator, Brighton owner etc etc. Just need that little spark to get the fire burning.

Ambitious due to chinese saying, don noe how to write thr 'dead' word

In my personal opinion, Batu Kawan has big potential in the mid to long term. Highly accessible via NSE and Second Penang bridge and near to Penang airport.

As mentioned by LGE himself, he planned to develop Batu Kawan into another satellite township after Georgetown and Butterworth.

Great plans are being drafted and crafted to bring in big investors from Singapore(Temasek) and international MNCs. The plans to transform Batu Kawan into a educational hub, industrial hub, BPO/SSO and entertainment/recreational hub(theme park) hold boundless potentials for Batu Kawan. These plans ride hand-in-hand with EW vision to create job opportunities to drive demand for residential/commercial properties(highlighted by Dato Chang during EWC 2015).

Batu Kawan in general is a greenfield development where it offers great flexibility to developers to craft their products offering(Paramount, Aspen/IKEA, Malton, EW etc) to cater to different market segments.

At last, the philosophy of "buy early, buy low" rings loud and true.

Perhaps Bro Bey could be our tour guide during EMA launch? Bring those who are interested for "jalan jalan cari makan"(Bro Chew, Bro Longshot, my kind self and other TKs). Seems like I am gathering another "rally" aka property club. Bad bad. Poison poison!!

"At last, the philosophy of "buy early, buy low" rings loud and true. "

I agree. But really need to be really low la. Not like unreasonable yet still consider low. Coz consider the earlier buyer are the 开荒牛

Lol.... Let's wait n see. Who knows EW will organize this trip for us instead if their staff reading this.

EM doing better than DPC is a highly possible scenario given that DPC is already there which people can do a thorough study on it and replicate accordingly.

It's a matter of time...

A successful township will be a benchmark of others and become a brand name of that locality... People says "I live in Setia Alam, I live in DPC, I live in Sunway..." Probably in 10 years time people / I will say "I live in Majestic city"

Lucky kor banyak deep pocket
I guess Eco Marina if not on par then might be pricier than ES.

Ya for a totally unknown developer(Sam Ling) to develop DPC into such a reputable township is really commendable. Cos at that time, there was totally no local township(DPC-alike) for Sam Ling to copy/study/emulate/replicate.

Haha then EW need to charter a whole bus for the supporters(LYN supporters and existing buyers).

Jason kor, I just tag along for makan makan and give moral support

When EM launched London City Island and Parramatta, hands were so itchy then (even though I'm not any property taikor) - wanted to try sth new and make gain on both sides capital/ rental & forex...

Huh?! I thought EW will charter a whole 747!
