1. You forgot about maintenance and sinking fund
2. Never trust rental figures given by property agents, DYOR first, and then discount it some more because possible oversupply, etc, depending on your property's situation. (Property agent promised relative buying property a rental of RM2k+/month for a 400+sqft condo in cyber during sales talk. When VP, can only get RM1.4k, post pandemic RM900 per month), top up almost 1k a month when all costs are included. I think Malaysia is one of the few countries where the landlord subsidizes the tenant's stay.

Cyberjaya, located just outside of the capital city Kuala Lumpur, was once dubbed the Silicon Valley of Malaysia. But today, the city has been slammed as a failure by media outlets and think tanks.

Cyberjaya was developed on a 2,800-hectare plot of palm oil plantation in 1997. It was the brainchild of former two-time prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, who wanted to create a city that would lead Malaysia's charge to a "multimedia economy."

Today, Malaysia's Silicon Valley doesn't live up to its name. While more than 100,000 people live in the city, it doesn't have the startups and big tech headquarters that its California counterpart does. Instead, it's a place where satellite offices, and data and call centers are set up. Employees who work at these establishments are said to be paid around $365 a month.

I visited Cyberjaya on a reporting trip late last year and saw a city with lush greenery, dead malls, and a gated community where some of the city's wealthiest people live.









Cyberjaya only has a handful of hotels. One such hotel is Dash Box Hotel, a resort that's meant to look like a village.

Dash Box Hotel has an average rating of four stars on Google Reviews with over 1,500 reviews. Dozens of guests have left the hotel glowing reviews, with several guests saying it's perfect for vacation and that it has a relaxing ambience.

Some parts of the hotel are made out of shipping containers, including several rooms.

I stayed in several shipping container rentals last year, including a two-floor luxury loft and one located in the parking lot of a hell-themed park.

Curious as to what a resort interpretation of the shipping container trend is, I booked a night's stay at Dash Box during my trip to Cyberjaya.

The hotel's management did not immediately reply to Insider's requests for comment.







When checking in, I noticed the first downside to staying at the hotel: The hotel didn't have a bellhop, so a security guard had to help me with my suitcase.

Fortunately, I only had a tote bag, backpack, and pilot's bag, so the security guard and I split the items between the two of us.

When I arrived, the room wasn't ready, so I headed to the adjacent cafe for a drink. After an hour or so, I finally checked in, and although it took a while the service was friendly.

Aesthetically, my first impression of the hotel was that it was quirky. The colors of the walls and ceilings were loud, and there were random statues placed around the lobby, which was located inside a shipping container.





The huts where the rooms were located were poorly maintained. My room was located on the second floor, so it was especially difficult to haul my belongings up the slippery metal stairs.

I stayed in the deluxe room with a pool view, which was located right next to the parking lot. It cost 302 Malaysian ringgit, or $70 for the night's stay.

The rooms were located in industrial, hut-like buildings. For a resort, the facade of these buildings left much to be desired. Perhaps it looked better when it was newly launched, but over time these buildings have become dreary and far from what you'd expect of a resort.

I also had the option of staying in a room inside of an actual 20 feet by 8 feet shipping container. These rooms, however, looked straight out of a post-apocalyptic movie.

Reading a pointedly honest review online further affirmed my choice to avoid these rooms. Unlike the gorgeous shipping container rentals I've stayed at previously, the reviews described these ones as "pretty crude conversions from old shipping containers."

The review also added that the rooms didn't have windows.

In person, the shipping containers were discolored and far from excellent in condition.

On the other hand, the room I booked looked much better than I anticipated. Unfortunately, I found a reddish stain on one of the sheets, which reminded me of my experience at the worst-rated hotel in Singapore.

I initially considered getting housekeeping to help me change the sheets, but since it was late at night when I discovered the stain, I decided to just put it out of my mind and make do.

The deluxe room looked better than its tiny shipping container counterparts. It was spacious and measured 49 square meters, or 527 square feet.

It had a working space, a queen-sized bed, a small lounge area, and a lot of storage space. It also had a television and a large mirror.

Unfortunately, the walls were thin as I could hear the voices of children and families enjoying their time at the pool. Thankfully, it was quiet at night so it didn't bother me too much.





The working space was a nice idea, but very poorly maintained. The walls were dirty and had strange stains. I didn't feel comfortable using the space until I wiped it all down.

Upon closer inspection, I realized the room was not clean or well-maintained. I wasn't expecting the splendor of a luxury hotel, but considering I've stayed at budget motels that were clean and dust-free, Dash Box Hotel could do much better.

But there were some upsides to the room too: The bathroom was huge.

The shower was great, with good heating and water pressure. Shower amenities were also provided.

However, there wasn't a partition between the toilet and the rest of the space, so if you're traveling in a group, it's likely that only one person can use the bathroom at a time.





The best part of the room was the balcony. It overlooked the swimming pool, and was a great place to lounge about and take pretty photos.

It appeared to be mostly families who were enjoying their time in the pool, which made me realize that maybe I just wasn't the hotel's target clientele.

Overall, the hotel had a unique concept of mixing together industrial and resort elements. While it did make for some pretty photos, the hotel could really use a refresh.

The upsides: The room was relatively spacious, the balcony is gorgeous, and the hotel concept is unique.

The downsides: The room was dirty, dusty, and poorly maintained. If you have luggage, the stairs leading up to the room could be a problem too.

Verdict: The hotel had all the basics, plus a decent-sized pool, but for the price, there are far better options in Cyberjaya. Even if the city only has a few hotels, Dash Box, unfortunately, still falls behind the rest.

Seorang wanita tempatan berusia 45 tahun ditemui mati selepas terjatuh dari tingkat 38 sebuah pangsapuri di Cyber Square, Cyberjaya di sini.

Lebih mengerikan apabila mangsa ditemui terapung di dalam kolam hiasan di aras bawah pangsapuri berkenaan sekitar jam 3 pagi tadi.

Pengarah Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM) Selangor, Morni Mamat berkata, pihaknya menerima laporan kejadian pada jam 3.17 pagi.

Menurutnya, mayat mangsa wanita ditemui berada di dalam kolam aras bawah pangsapuri berkenaan.

"Mangsa yang tidak sedarkan diri mengalami kecederaan parah akibat terjatuh dari tingkat atas pangsapuri itu.

"Empat anggota bomba bersama seorang pegawai JBPM membantu pihak polis mengeluarkan mayat mangsa.

"Mangsa disahkan sudah meninggal dunia oleh pegawai Kementerian Kesihatan (KKM) sebelum diserahkan kepada pihak polis untuk siasatan lanjut," katanya.

Should ask Antony Loke for Motorbike " Grab " - since we are mostly  B40 Group .

Grab drivers can carry food ..also  earn additional incomes  to carry passengers .

Afterall, it is LGE's mistake to cut off our parking lots.


Malaysia boleh ?  but many things Government still does not allow like planting of ketum just for export purposes  ..why ?

Hard for Malaysians to break the " middle incomes " trap ....higher chance of falling to  B40 Malaysians

You do know that Cyberjaya has parks, commercial centers and malls all within the neighborhood. As for views, my condo has an unblocked view of nice surrounding with trees. For me, travelling to work is not a problem at all. I take ERL and can reach office/home less than an hour everyday. Previously, when I stay at Old Klang Road, the time needed was also more or less the same except the distance is nearer. On top of that, I hardly need to drive. Food is plentiful and you want non-halal food, just drive between 15 to 30 minutes and you will reach Puchong, Seri Kembangan or Dengkil to get good non-halal food.

I bet you have not been to Cyberjaya for many years.

15 to 30 minutes drive could be 15 to 30 km distance.

Cyberjaya also has plenty of shops and convenience. You have the largest shopping mall is Malaysia just a 15 minute drive away. If you lazy and want to stay in KL, you got D’Pulze that even have cinema.

Your distance from Bandar Sri Permaisuri to Bangi is not that much different from Cyberjaya to Bangsar. It is just nearer by about 5km only. The difference is you are going against traffic and not in jams while going to Bangsar, you can’t avoid jams on weekdays but if it’s weekends, I also can reach KLCC within 30 mins.

Cyberjaya is still new and low dense township? LOL!

Or about 15km in distance.

OKR is a long road. If you start from places like Petaling Utama, it’s 17 km. Why are you even arguing about distance?

The fact is it’s not inconvenient to go to IOI city mall from Cyberjaya. All you need is 15 minutes drive and it’s not jammed like in KL where the distance might be closer but the time needed is not.
*
Likewise, the other end of cbj is a few km further from ioi city mall. During off peak, from okr could reach mid valley mega mall and many non halal eatery in less than 15 minutes.

During off peak? Have you stayed in OKR before? Its off peak is only Sunday early morning or after midnight.

The point is Cyberjaya is not that far and it’s a very livable township as everything is reachable just like a lot of other areas in Klang Valley
*
I use okr a few times in a week, from mid valley to oug take about 10 minutes before 5pm weekdays.

Where in kv is not liveable? Near or far is measured by distance.
