You are right! I think it was the LRT due to the age of the master plan, and that MRT probably wasn't even in its inception
Btw, the LRT that connects Cyber to Putra to Kajang that you are referring to is currently being considered for revival correct? I remember someone discussing that in a thread a few months ago. Currently there is a lot of traffic between Putrajaya and Kajang (a lot of government staff reside in the east side of Putrajaya), this should serve them well. Cyberjaya residents can tumpang too, and this will help the city quite a bit
I have a client who was involved with the Cyberjaya master plan. I met him recently but he was in it many years ago. I guess it was meant to be LRT and not MRT then, since the MRT is much more recent than Cyberjaya
In anycase, you do not have to be so triggered about my comments. It turns out the governments of Badawi, Najib, and resurgent Tun M have all given up on Cyberjaya. If you have any beef please take it with these premiers, all of whom are still alive, if you want to insult them personally up their faces.
It wasn't me who made Cyberjaya the ghost town that it is now, it was people who (mis)planned and (mis)build the city that are at fault. As a (tenant) resident of Cyberjaya, I am enjoying the very low rentals (vs the commitments that purchasers have to pay each month) while posting a report of my observation of this city.
I have received plenty of compliments by property investors regarding to the on-the-ground situation of the city. Some have diverted their investments elsewhere especially after I showed them the numbers from property websites like Brickz, documents of maintenance defaults in high-rises all over the city, etc. I did not lie nor do I have interests in the appreciating nor depreciating values of the units in the city.
However, if I were a newbie in properties, I would appreciate someone like myself sharing the things to look out for when buying my (first) properties. I would like someone to share these things:
1. Capital appreciation
2. Rental yield
3. Maintenance defaults and its effects on the facilities
4. Influx of people who are not desirable (when I mentioned the Mainland Chinese invading Domain 5, a lot of people with vested interests in Cyberjaya called me racists. Yet I was vindicated when it was shown that these people were scammers; they came and stayed here illegally without the correct travel documents - they needed work visa which they obviously didn't have)
I noticed that Cyberjaya investors are very vicious against people criticising their city. These levels of viciousness do not appear from investors in other cities like Puchong, Shah Alam, subsets of PJ, Rawang, etc. I can criticize (with merit) those cities and they would remain calm, as if they accept that their cities are not perfect, but there are other redeeming qualities that made them invest (and perhaps stay) in those cities. Not with Cyberjaya investors though, they are very aggressive - I think it is partly because most of them bought properties there for investments as opposed to for own-stay. They experience the stress and anxiety of capital depreciation of their units and lack of rental yield or any rental income for that matter; yet they do not get to balance that by living in a stress-free environment, with low-traffic and a ghost-town, serene vibe in selected areas.
That's because these critics are biased with hidden agenda, often mere assumption without proper supporting facts.
If it is just and facts, all critics are welcome to make this city better. Please be constructive instead of trolling.
