Well hope for the best... in my case I paid the downpayment first with own pocket money.

I was lucky I did that because EPF delay disbursement citing my finger print didn't match what their records...

I kept calling every week and they just said being process or nobody answer their hotline 9 out of 10 times no answer. A letter only arrived after 2 months of waiting.

I had to go back and wasted an entire day just waiting to rescan my finger print.

Really pissed me off, on top of that car park fees came to RM7 and my car battery died in the parking lot...

oh my!!! that must have pissed you off big time.. did they given you a letter saying that your application was successful during your first visit to EPF? if they did then there is no reason for them to say that the scan was not successful

I don't think they will on the spot inform you that the application was successfully, after all they need to check records and verify details before releasing funds.

My first visit it was to submit my application for withdrawal together with my original documents and certified photocopies... scan finger print and all that crap!

After that I was told within a month EPF will sent me a letter confirming my withdrawal was successful and they have banked the money into my nominated bank account.

Now the part that really cheezed me off was when I submitted my application I provide my MyKad and scan my finger print and didn't have problems reading my thumb prints. Only to later be told my finger print was not readable.... my guess is EPF screwed up somewhere and probably lost the information.

hi neigbours~~
glad to find you here.been readin few threads on lakecity before and finally just end up to join you just bought one unit in block B, manage to get only pool+lake view only..
currently renting in pantai hillpark, and very new in setapak, wangsa maju etc area..been searchin for own house since last yr and recently fell in love with lakeside concept offered and the plus point is nearby to my workplace, klcc (minus the jam factor ) Planning to stay there and rent out the remainin rooms. Any potential tenant apart from TARC students?
Look forward for your view, neigbours!

oh... this is very near to my place ...

Setapak...

hmmm... it's worth to buy... if dun wan to stay, can rented out to student... and it's fetch a good price...

even the new platinum Victoria which completed the Orange condo, beside the Melati Utama also fetch same rent rate as melati Utama...

lol .... take it easy ... don forget we are living in malaysia ... MALAYSIA BOLEH !!! ... even with the 600 Million smart link .... KL CITY STILL FLOODING !!! ... hahahaa .... MEMANG BOLEH !!! .....

hey ... welcome neighbour .... perhaps u can share with us what makes u made the decision buying the house here? apart from the points u listed earlier .... any specific reason?? And which type u bought and which floor? hahaa ... mine is Block B as well dude ... ...

and the main reason i made up my mind is because of the space and price .... i bought the type C and i think the price is reasonable .... And i m quite familiar with Setapak as i stay here for 6 years .... the traffic is terrible ... but still not as terrible as some of the places like ampang & etc ...

Thanks ... finally some supporters here ... hahaa ... at first everyone just say setapak is not worth ... lol

why every1 say it's not worth.... i thinks i can roughly thinks of the reasons...
anyways, im already stay in setapak for 3 years plus... and continue...

are you TARCIAN?? haha

hey, i support setapak wat.......only blind follower of advertisement will go forhigh5 area....

i duno why some people still choosing PJ although they working in KL... while i got frens everyday driving 80minute to work from Wangsa Maju to USJ..

for a condo is it hard to say either it is a good investment compare to landed house... it need to depends on the condo management.. n even it is freehold it wont effect alot... however with the continue rising of construction cost i guess u wont lose anything in the end... plus the road condition in Genting Klang is terrible n horrible even there got good access of public transport to city center..

the developer of tis project is the same with Melati Utama.. n it own by ex-vice Presient of MCA Lim Ah Lek... who bought the land when he still serve with gahmen.. when they launching the Melati Utama the developer is still not a register company n without any experience...

i only can said their construction progress is very fast.. like their shop houses now 80% complete just around 1 year... n the new condo in Melati Utama had been completed last weeks..

i bought a unit in block B and i'd say setapak is a great place to live in... u can practically get everything there... the traveling distance for me is so much nearer( i work in jln tun razak)... even if I move after a couple of years the rental rate is good therefore there wont be necessary to worry about lost..

living in a condominum may not be as great as living in a landed property but i guess to purhase a house nearer the city and at a very reasonable cost is just something I couldnt resist...

hahaa ... no lar ... i m not tarcian ... but i stay here many years jor because last time all my friends are all tarcian ... and infact ... they all moved out ... some went back hometown and some moved to PJ but both that moved to PJ had bought the Phase 1 and so ... next year they are swifting back to Wangsa Maju ... lol ...

hooray .. give me 5 ... actually har ... i tell u lar ... i don really like setapak area .... hahahaa ... but i just giving the facts such as ... every area also jam lar ... every area also got crimes lar .... and etc lar ... but if u asked me ... i would prefer to get a house in OUG or old klang road area lar ... bukit OUG is a nice place to stay ... but because of financial issue ... i have decided to make Setapak as my steping stone ... lolz ...

errr .. u got quite a lot of info though yea ... ... actually i knew Dr Lim Ah Sek is the background supporter .... i just didn say it out ... coz my bro's friend work with this developer one ... he say this developer can be trusted lo ... But not sure how true lar ....

He even got 20% discount for the condo at Taman Melati there ... but this Lake view ... his company only gave him 5% discount .. so he didn bought it ....

Btw, why ur friend still staying here while he work in USJ ?? that's a bit far rite? crazy leh ... lol ...

cool ... we are block mate leh ... hahaa ...

oh yea btw ... someone mentioned about the constructions is fast rite?? I really pray hard for that man ... i can't wait to see early completion .... According to the developer ... the Phase 1 is 8 months ahead schedule .... damn ... i wish our phase 2 will be the same man .... by 2009 can move into new house will be the best timing ...

but if they constructed the house fast also don feel safe rite? lol ... later donno they got do shortcuts or not one .... worried also lar ....

last sunday jalan genting klang flooded, very scary......

but u going to move out wo....

really? how come when im come back din see got any flood pun.... hehe

i will still be around setapak de....near by.

lol ... but jalan genting klang really can flood one ... last time i kena once .... but luckily my car din break down ... but a few car broke down ....

and hey ... guess what? EPF release my money leow ... lol ... exactly 3 weeks they took to process my application ... so, this weekend i m going to settle the balance of my downpayment already ....
