Hello all forumers,

I'm here wanna talk / discuss about future Cyberjaya.
What in your mind think about Cyberjaya, and what in your eyes see the real Cyberjaya.

In Cyberjaya only have one Shopping Mall (D'pulze), that mall not so great and also not so big, Shaftburry looks dying right now started beginning of this year, one by one shop shut the business down.

Talk about food, only few place still can buy lunch, dinner below RM8 per meal, other than that all around RM15 per meal, living cost very high, night time almost dead.

In term of house investment, the rental keep going down, before this, room rental very famous there, since cyberjaya flooded with studio unit, mostly room rental started to die because the pricing vs comfortability, some home owner willing to spend more money to furnish the unit with Interior Design (ID) concept to attract the tenant but again cannot beat the price other people offer.

Majority Restaurant operated by foreigner, Arabian, Bangladesh, Indian (mamak), very rare to find Malay and Chinese Restaurant. Who knows they operate with or without license, all people just wanna eat not to bother about their business premise.

If you are the investor or stay in cyberjaya, can you please share your stories, experience and your sights on this matter.

go to the cyberjaya thread and continue there.... no ending repetitive discussion of cyberjaya....

As an ex MMU, I can say this: if you want to invest in Cyberjaya properties, forget it. There are tons of units available, but demand is not really that high.

Knowing the cost of living there, people (especially malaysian) rather rent at nearby places such as Dengkil or Seri Kembangan or Puchong (south side). Takes less than 10 minutes to come and rental is far cheaper (for example, you can get a landed house for RM700 in Seri Kembangan, but that same amount can get you only one or two rooms in cyberjaya condo, cant even get a studio unit with that price). The only people that I know who would rather rent studios are foreigners who have so much money.

This situation is same for people working or studying there. MMU and LKW both have hostels, and for MMU students who couldnt get hostels, there are Cyberia condos which are really near to the university. So who would really want to rent condos which are not near to their university, and still need transport? Might as well they rent at nearby places like Dengkil if they have cars.

But I will say this, Cyberjaya is a nice place to live. I feel it is quite safe in Cyberjaya, and because the only people in cyberjaya are students and working people, it gets quite peaceful especially during weekends.

Food, there are tons of Malay restaurants, if I remember correctly there are at least 2-3 malay restaurants at Domains area (D sedap sengoti, ayam kampung and another place I cant remember). There are also tons of fast food outlets, ranging from Dominos to KFC and MCD. So food is not really a problem. But like you said, I didnt know any Chinese restaurants. There might be one, but I dont know because I wasnt looking for one.

TLDR, good place to live, not a good place to invest. Even with the upcoming MRT, I dont think there are people who would rather buy/rent at a higher cost at Cyberjaya and work in another place, say KL or Puchong.

aiya why only talked about negativity of cj? no positive aspect meh?

People that vested in Cj have 3 'P' things in common:-

1. Positive thinking - they treasure what plus points CJ gives, not negativity.

2. Potential - they only see the potential Cj will bring, especially under Jibby's wisdom - Cina school, MEX extension, MRT, CCC dan macam macam.

3. Perseverance - waiting to cash out their golden eggs. It shall come sooner than you think.

IMO, if the place is good to live, there should be sea of tenants wanting to live there. If its very good place to live, tenants will pay top prices to live there.

Beside students who are usually a bit tight on pocket, how about working class, professionals?

from my point of view, cyberjaya lacks entertainment spots...the place should consider courting hard rock cafe, hooters, modestos, etc...need world class establishment...

entertainment spots...you can go there n come back to your home,

you don't need to live next to them.

yea agreed... for me if there is entertainment in 10-30mins travelling radius... its more than ok already... dont really wanna stay very near to an entertainment hotspot... the cramp feeling is unbearable... lol

I love Dpulze...small neighbourhood mall but it's great! I can't think of any neighbourhood mall that's better than Dpulze, honestly. Please don't compare with regional mall....

Anyway, there will be more shopping malls in the future such as Skypark, though i dont know how it will turn out. Tamarind Sq also is another upcoming place to watch, but all these r still yet to be operational and I'm not a fortune teller to tell whether it will be successful.

As a place to invest, I'll say stay away too. But for a place to stay, please come explore and don't just read what ppl comment here. Oversupply is not a problem specific for Cyberjaya, everywhere else rental is dropping. No one force you to stay here if you dont like it.

Depends, the way you say it, foreigners (working class and rich students) have no problem renting studio units (at least 1.5k-3k per unit) by themselves, alone. They dont mind paying high to get that "class" and privacy.

But it's different with locals. Right now, there are not much landed houses in Cyberjaya, if there are, the prices are just unbelievable, at least 1 million per unit if I am not mistaken.

With Malay mentality, they always want a landed house (not me though). If they cant, they at least want a big house! How big is big? Well, they definitely dont want a 700sqft condo/apartment. And this is the problem with Cyberjaya. Too many condo/service apartments.

Like I said, only foreigners wouldnt mind paying 1-2k to rent in Cyberjaya. These people normally work in Cyberjaya and get paid really good too.

Locals? Regardless of whether they are working or studying, most would rather rent at nearby places for bigger spaces and lower cost if they have transport (be it car or bike). Only a handful that I know would rather stay at Cyberjaya because 1) they dont have transport 2) workplace is really nearby (i.e 5 minutes walk) and 3) they are paid handsomely, or they get housing allowance.

waiting... with the word waiting? u mean 10 years? 20 years?

10 years i could have earned my dividend, 10 years i could have earned from some property.
No looking down about CJ, truth is truth, 5 year ago, people jio me to buy CJ, price ok 300-400k per condo.
i didnt but, instead i bought Subang area, a bit more expensive, but i had sold it just early this year.

if 10 years, u could have 2 property buy and sell, while "waiting" for CJ.

just my point of view.

Spot on..
Within driving distance is okay..

I'm sure many cannot take it when entertainment outlets just beside or near your home..

not sure if this an attempt to bring back the "lively" and "passionate" discussion on Cyberjaya

againnn... love & hate CBJ

Lol so optimistic with the time of cashing out?

As a tech worker, I used to have high hope for Cyberjaya to mirror Silicon Valley in the US, but was greatly disappointed when many good MNC decided to choose Singapore to set up their operation, leaving only mundane jobs like call center/IT support roles in Cyberjaya. While the Government with MDEC and MAGIC can be seen doing a lot of work to boost up this place, they are still not as aggressive as their Singapore counterpart. Are there hope? Well, there are news of mega project coming as part of DFTZ agreement with Jack Ma. How will that revive Cyberjaya remains to be seen as they are all long term plans

Cyberjaya to clean of a place la. People need sleazy businesses there. See bandar bukit puchong, lakefields in pekan sg besi. Got many ktvs and massage parlour etc. Every city/area/localities need some vice to flourish maa. Cyber same like putrajaya. Too clean.

That makes it a good place for family, isn't it? lol

Too much issues previously..
Fighting & personal atrack each other..
