Has anyone heard of this project in Shah Alam? I went to see the show houses there recently and some of the build up areas where people have moved in. I was impressed with the overall layout of the area.

Was wondering what people think about it as I am interested in owning a house there someday.

Setia Homes website

Setia Alam project is under their Klang Valley area.

it is very good project i would say.but abit too far for me , for now.

<<Was wondering what people think about it as I am interested in owning a house there someday. >>

For what purpose?? To live or invest??

Somehow, I believe Bukit Tinggi is better.

Dreamer

More for living actually. But I will check out Bukit Tinggi when I have the time.

I personally had did booking on it. Me too hunting for property and of course with limit budget. I had check bkt raja and setia alam. Both is just beside but is difference by its municipal, shah alam and klang.
What impress me with SA is the well develop plan and the traffic design. You don't see longkang or any poll there except lamp post. The road between houses is very wide. Density is good, near to NKVE but pay toll lar.

setia alam got good potential .....better be there...

The cheapest house is 18x65, now the price is around 202k. New launch will be above 220k but slightly bigger built up area. The house design is not so great, if compare with others. For those lower price houses, they gave those power points and tv points very few. Imagine single tv point, and phone, no bell point or water heater, only single ac point.
Only thing is the area is plan by one developer, means the town planing is based on research and good planning before they decide where to buid what and what to build. If compare like other town area. There will be a lot of developers, some built a bit like this and like that , then this and that. It will makes the town area became congested.
They build thouse in quite a big area where there are walking path and good and simple landscape. One big park for resident, and a football field as well. Schools are also planed in the town area. Not bad if you won't feel bad on the toll and distance.

Setia Alam is the best la, actually anything Setia is worth buying.

Why am I promoting? Because I've bought some Setia shares lo. LOL.

But seriously, at least you know it's a very solid company. The CEO and the COO are geniuses.

CEO is from Johor. Any Johor lang here?

flipped on the sun (tuesday, i think) just now. sp setia ecopark won an international fiabci award. proud of malaysia.

That true they did win.... not bad...

Anyway I think SP Setia is a reliable developer and I've seen their housing development in Puchong.

The residential area is nice planted with lots of greenery and a big central park together with several smaller niche playgrounds close to houses

And all of their houses use clay bricks instead of sand bricks, therefore pushing up the construction cost.

Whats the difference between clay bricks and sand bricks?

I thought only cheaper houses use sand brick. But I think most of the terrace using clay brick. I know clay brick is much hot becoz it easily adsorb heat. Correct me if wrong.

I think sand bricks are not as strong... <--not professional advice.

we bought a semi-d at Ecopark and will move in later this year. very impressed with the masterplan for Eco-park and hopefully, the home prices will continue to appreciate.

Good area and house recommended for all price is getting up my friends bought 150k house now the price already 195k just only 1 year

have seen this at Mapex.......the location = after the TTDI Jaya rite......
terrace from 250k....hmmm.....

Hehe i m Johor lang actually batu pahat lah, and i've bought a unit there last august. Will be getting my keys this nov/dec. I think it'll be a great place to stay lah. Good planning and development, house price oso considered ok (when i bought my unit last year, now a bit expensive), and it's got potential to grow

Anyone interested to buy please add me as referer hehe, i will get electrical appliances for free haha

Me too get myself one unit at Setia Alam. Now the housing trend is different. Is no longer wheather your house near town or not , or how big is your house. Now is more on township. Now you can have hypermarket anywhere. You might bought a nice house in one area, but who knows suddenly your surrounding area, build housed and building by other developer, making the area congested and pack. At then end become not planed area.
Setia Alam is different, the whole town area is developed by one developer and well planed. At least you know how is your living are in the future.

I went to Setia Alam today (3 times that i'd visited this project). Very tempted to get one of the unit there (Sheda 20x70) and even me n my wife brought all the document there for loan application as i thought i would place an order today but i returned home with empty hands. It was the distance and toll factors to hold me back as my office is in kepong.. i wonder if anyone of u guys facing this b4 you made de decision?

At the same time i m looking at one of the condo named dataran prima condo, i love the location n 2 car park each units, but of coz i prefer landed properties thats y i m in the dilemma between setia alam n condo

Hie Im from kepong also, and prefer landed property.

Try amansiara duplex townhouse, located along the selayang-rawang road, before templer park. Comes with with private parking (read:land right in front of your unit) and private staircase into your house. No toll, cost less than 200k. Just got one myself few months ago =)

Thx for the reply. i heard about this project too but never visit as it is nearby my office but very de far away from my wife office (her office is located in Shah Alam).. Therefore...she like Setia Alam very much. Anyway, i will make a purchase tomorrow for Setia ALam..

Hi kko217, u making a purchase? Got any referer?? Hehe can add me as referer, Just asking, if u think it's offending then forget about it

hihi..no worries..i oledi fill my friend's name as my referer. anyway..which house that u bought?

Hehe no problem

I bought Serangoon 1. How bout u? I think i see ur nick in SARA b4. I m ataraxis there

I looking for auto gate, grill, L-Box ceiling, kitchen cabinet.

both also shah alam.
can anyone give me advice.
setia alam or kota kemuning ?

hi, i facing this problem also. but it was in last year. i have bought a unit in Setia Alam. the main reason is the price in Setia Alam on that time is much cheaper than Kota Kemuning, the Indah Residence. but not sure how is the price diff between these 2 areas, as the Setia Alam increased quite a lot recently.

me too having hard time to choose. i went to both location .seems kota kemuning have the better access road and already developed eventhough both also under shah alam.

Hi quite interesting be a member too.

Anyone can briefly how far is SA to 1U, Midvalley?
My office in Damansara height and my gf in Midvalley.

SA to MV direct geographical distance is about 25km, driving distance (assuming using Federal highway) between 30 to 35km..

SA to 1U direct geographical distance is about 20km, driving distance (assuminng using NKVE) between 27 to 30km..

I've been looking at the houses at Setia Alam..and I really do like em. However, I've been noticing that many houses have cracks appearing on them. Some houses even have their kitchen part sinking I was told. Does anybody know abt these problems?

@eugene, had u tried b4 drive to those place during peak hour morning and evening? How about the toll fees?
Thanks for sharing those information..

I do read some user comments regarding this also.
Owner of SA please comments.

Hi,

Went to Setia Alam last week, here to share some info and request some info, especially Setia Alam owner's welcomed to feedback!

Distance from Setia Alam (Precint 7 main road) -> toll gates:
- Subang Jaya - 12-13km
- Damansara - 15km
- Duta - 30km
- KLCC - 43km

Questions:
1) Does anyone work in KLCC / KL Sentral? How long do you take to get to work?
2) I understand that the area has appreciated quite a bit. Currently launches would seem a little pricey for it's lands size.
But, most of the developments boast "maximum" build up, so you can get very big build-ups with small land. E.g. A 20x70 can get 2000+ sqf. Anyone think it's still worth investing?
3) I saw quite an interesting Semi-D cluster concept 30 x 55ft. The build up is actually only 20 x 55ft as there's 10ft of land beside the house. BU only 1700sqf. Not sure if easy to re-sell this type of "interesting" design.
4) According to developer, full development will have 40,000 units. Each household should have 2 cars so that will be about 80,000 cars.
I'm still wondering how is that going to be sustained by one dual carriage highway? Are we looking at a future Puchong where the traffic backlog few km from the toll gates?

This post has been edited by KeNNy: Jul 13 2009, 10:20 PM

i don't like this place...seem like isolated...is far from many places...eg go to KL city centre, Pavillion, mid valley...,
puchong, cyberjaya, putrajaya, cheras,...is very far...and got to pay lots of toll...

it is only near to shah alam, klang, and maybe subang....

i of the same opinion too, however if you are contend to stay in instead of going out then you will really appreciate what the township has to offer

Hi, I am considering to buy a link semi-D at the Precinct 6 of Setia Alam.

I am very impressed with the well-planned township concept of Setia Alam where the whole town area is developed by one developer.. and at least I know what sort of development/ building I will be expecting next to my neighbourhood.

However, there is a vast piece of land right in front of the link semi-D which belong to another developer (I'm been told it's Sime Darby), that I do not know what Sime Darby is going to do with it. Does anyone has any insight on this?

Thanks!

I had the same mental barrier. After looking around, it's either one staying in a township and getting stuck in a jam around your township, or choose someone further and travel. I'm still on the fence for choosing either, but I decided to survey SP Setia (give chance) because:
- I can't find good deals around the Klang Valley (for now). Condominiums are a bunch but would like to try avoid this if possible.
- The SP Setia township looks promising.

There're a couple of Semi-D units by Setia Alam. Precint 6 (to me at least) is a good buy, if you have the cash.
It's near the Setia Alam Eco Park, and the land is for Semi-D / bangalow so generally be the 'upper class' community.
However, it's a bit too pricey for me.

I think the 30' x 55' semi-d link is a good concept. In Australia, it calls cluster home.

You can have a semi-d with land at low entry price.

I am consider to invest in view of the old phase selling price is app. RM 260k, now the new launch is pricing at RM 365k. APPRECIATE MORE THAN RM100k within 3 years.

Yeah, those semi-Ds are called Axillaris A/B, expected completion on mid-2011.. I had booked one unit of those last week and now waiting for loan approval. I am not so worried about the subsale value, as it is located quite strategically between Setia Avenue and Setia City (Commercial area).. Not sure when Setia City project will be completed, but at least most of the Setia Avenue's commercial lots are sold (<90%).. Besides, you will find these semi-Ds are build on the higher lanscape, which means better fung shui (according to our parents..)

About the property appreciation, let me give two examples here:

My dad purchased an 18x65 unit at 180k (very very very early batch), two years later my bro bought another unit with same dimension at 240k. Now similar units with same BU is already selling at 340k.. Lagi fully sold out, and they announced second phase of same models will be released soon, at 360k..

So, the ROI is like 100% within 4 years.. For certain popular models like Lavender and Tuscany (20 x 65, BU: 1800), the appreciation is even more attractive.. Selling price from SP Setia is around 260k - 310k, before I decided on Axillaris, the agent told me the subsale value of these models are ard 360k.. Abt 50k increase in 12 months! Note than these houses are not even ready yet!

However, for those who want to buy a house for staying there has to be careful. Crackings on some areas are pretty bad. If you are buying subsale houses, esp those which has been renovated, please really look around the houses, esp the ceilings and kitchen area.. They may offer attractive price (like 300k for 20x65, fully renovation, 5 aircons and ceiling fans, full kitchen cabinets, and nice grills-those with flower design..), but better watch out for those so called "hair line" cracks..

My understanding is the Axillaris is only at soft launch presently. Are we still entitle for 5/95 since it has ended on 19.07.09?

Yeah, forgot to mention that it has not been officially launch yet.. If not mistaken, 95% of these units are sold liao.. wonder what they have in
remaining during the official launch..

About the 5/95 package, only bookings made latest by 19/07 are eligible for it.. In other words, those who buy after that has to bear the legal fees, stamp duty, bla bla bla..

Wow! So good ah.

Regret not book a unit.

What the estimated sub sale price upon the VP?

Yeah, we went on the last day, and it was like a pasar more than a showhouse.. everyone was picking their units, as if they were buying vegetables..

No idea on how much the value might appreciate, but according to those reps, they are launching new models with similar dimensions and the price would be around RM420k+..

To me, this house serves more for staying purpose.. unless it really appreciate that much to make me sell it la..

U are currently stay at Kota Kemuning. Are u going to move there once it is completed?

If the new launch is expected at RM 420k. Then the secondary market for Axillaris may sell at around RM 450k?

Er..........not bad. How come Setia's houses are selling expensive and more expensive?

To be honest, I don't think the place can appreciate as quickly. Of course the newer phases should keep going up in price, but don't expect 100% appreciations The older phases appreciation was due to NKVE, and because they were the 'first' residents of SA. If you're one of the 'firsts' it's always the cheapest. e.g. Subang USJ the first buildings appreciated by 150%-200% over 10 years. Also, in SA there's still quite a number of phases to be launch, so there will be still units available. You will need to wait 5-10 years for it's 'potential'.

SA, however, is a good place to stay. Pay it a visit and you will get what I mean

Yeah, I have two years to save some money to do renovations plus wedding.. As soon as the house is ready, that will be the Phase II of my life!

My agent actually admitted that certain areas within the town are overpriced.. Thats why she herself actually encouraged me to buy first hand property while the 5/95 package is still available.. Subsales too expensive, and the buyer has to bear the legal fees plus stamp duties.. No developer warranty lagi..



I would agree with you that it is a nice place to stay, and has high potential to develop into another Subang. About the value appreciation, I don't think 100% increase within 12 months are possible, unless you are the very early birds.. For my unit, I only hope the developments of surrounding commercial areas will help to appreciate the value more.. Lets see how persistent is our SP SETIA...

I read in the Star last monday that Tan Sri Liew of S P Setia mentioned that the Setia City will be completed in year 2011.

If Setia City is successful in attracting the crowd, i am sure houses price in SA will appreciate significantly.

But how is the quality of house build by S P Setia?

I have heard that SA houses are built by two different contractors, of which one of them was lousy, and those houses built by them have serious crackings problems. You may drop by to areas like Bromera and you will shocked by looking at the cracks, esp those with extended kitchens..

Due to that, their contract was terminated, and new contractor comes in.. I do not know how far this can be true, but at least from my last few visits, the newly built houses are quite well done..

We need someone who from SP Setia to clarify this.. By the way, it seems we don't have many SA buyers in LYN..

I've been following the developments in Setia Alam quite closely, but am not a resident myself. Here's what I gathered:
- Old phases has problems of soil settlement which caused cracking on walls. The older phases had backyards, and these areas are without piling e.g. porch, backyard are affected. Those who did extensions on top of these areas were the most impacted.
- Reason for soil settlement was because it was a hack and slash operation and construction began immediately right after. So soil hasn't settled.

New phases have less risk because:
- Newer phases soil have 'settled' because it's been almost 5-6 years.
- New phases are mostly, maximum build up without backyard. So you have more pilings and bigger foundation, at the same time developer charge you more for a bigger build up Win-win lah - they solve the problem and you get a bigger house (but more expensive).
- SP Setia's reputation was badly damaged by the above. They openly admitted to the problem and we can only hope they will apply the new learnings.
- Houses have 36 months warranty to buy back confidence?



Setia City is one mega development and will take another 10-15 years before it fully completes It's a phased development, starting with the first mall. If mall successful, there will be commercial and offices, second mall, offices, boulevard, etc. Just take The Curve as an example where they started off with a shopping mall, then slowly build up until how it is now. As a timeline, the first mall only complete Q4 2011. So, by the time the place really fully develop will take a very long time.

dear all,

i am the resident of setia alam. u may find out more information about setia alam from our resident forum. hope u could obtain whatever info u wish to.

http://forum.setiaalam.net/index.php

Info: Architect talk at Setia Alam Welcome Center Saturday, 8th August, 2:00 - 3:30pm.

Gives opportunity to understand the logic behind the way the house was designed, and ask some difficult questions

The Astronium 22x75 at RM408K is tempting. Location is the large land behind the Sales Galeria and opposite of this will be the Precint 1 which houses the Commercial Hub with 2 malls. Looks like a good investment

kenny, u sure know alot about SA, so how many units u got there?

Btw the 36 months warranty were already in place long before those serious soil settlement appeared.

Oxandria and Xylia is directly behind the Setia Alam Welcome House (sales galleria). Astronium a bit more to the East, but also closer to the access road from NKVE and the G&G Precint 6 houses. Both are equally near to Precint 1 (Commercial hub). Precint 1 first mall estimated complete Christmas 2011 (to make it in time for christmas shopping?), while the entire hub will take a long time more to fully build - it's a really large piece of land there.

If you are still deciding, just to add, getting an Astronium will be nice timing because the house also estimated complete Q3 2011

Actually not too difficult to know about SA because their masterplans and show units are already completed in the sales gallery.
You know what you buy, how it looks like, and where it's located. Quite different from the traditional paradigm of buying landed houses solely from floor plans.
Can't say I know much about SA - just learnt from the rest. Many people in the forum kswong directed you to know far much more.
It all started when I was looking around quite a bit and a while to get my own property. I surveyed BK9, Alam Impian, KK, PH, USJ, Bkt Jelutong, Denai Alam.
In the end decided SA. But well, that doesn't mean everyone will share the same cup of tea.

Anyway, SA is for own stay Haven't reach the stage in life to invest in properties yet.

The soil issue widely discussed quite heavily in the threads there. Some are happy with the developer being committed to helping residents solve their issues, some not too happy. Suggest you draw your own conclusions Anyway, new phases have a different foundation design (also more expensive) which makes the soil settlement irrelevant.

I'm one of the buyer in SetiaAlam(SA). I purchase the house in 2006 and till now I cannot go in despite having my 7feet backyard renovated. Why??

I remember the time when I collected the key, one of the site-supervisor follow me to the house to do the buy-off. When I step in, i saw the soil in my garden and backyard has sunk 10cm. I also can see clearly beneath my house. I did ask him why this cavity and he gently replied that they will close it with sand. Even after top up with sand, the soil sinks another 10cm and at some location my feet can sink 30cm after stepping on it. I made second complaint and this time SA use mixture of sand and cement to close the gap and finally cover it with full sand. I waited 6 months and I saw no more sinking and therefore started the construction.

1. Backyard - the ground beam is sinking due to soil settlement. The soil settle almost 2cm every 3months and until now SA cannot tell me when the settlement will stabalize. I was told that the soil in SA is marine clay and after doing reserach in net, many expert mention that the characteristics of marine clay not suitable for housing because the present of moisture will caused the soil to expand and during dry season it will shrink. This expand-shrink will cause soil errosion in long term. SA washed hand not responsible on renovated portionof the house because my contractor never do proper piling. If bakau piling cannot hold my 7x20feet structure what else to say further. Sa suggest us to do RC piling. Who in the hell will do RC piling to hold 7x20feet structure?? Are we building 5storey building. Because my house already extended my backyard completed on Mac2009 and it's already sinking. In May09 after heavy rain the first diagonal crack of 0.5mm appear on my column. In AUgust 2009, the crack widen to 5mm. My wall tiles also start cracking. SA suggest me to do underpining using API pipes which will cost me RM26k. This is most expansive and time consuming renovation.

2. The soil beneath the ground floor already sink at least 1feet. The master bedroom toilet sanitary pipe that come down under my living area floor is just sagging with any ground support because the soil settlement. I told SA to do the grouting to fill it up with concrete because I worry in 10-20yrs time, the elbow pipe joint will gave away. They said when the pipe burst they will act on it. This is not a answers I was expecting. Maybe they said my backyard extension damage is caused by my contractor not doing piling but how about the soil settlement beneath my house? Now the rat also srat staying inside and maybe in 10yrs time when some rat died below my living room, the smell will effect the owner.

3. The 1/2 of porch original fencing is net type. I replace it with brickwall. Now the wall both side is tilting and settling together with the main-gate pillars.

The damages above not only for my house but also in my neighbours house. House they built on hill-cut have no issue but think 100-times when buying house on patches land. Pls visit link below for pictures

Same here, I was impressed with the whole SA concept thing a few years back when i visited their old sales gallery at p8. Dealing with their staff was easy, from sales to VP although there have been complaints lately about bad staff. I'm surprised how fast it is to get to kelana jaya,subang jaya and damansara using the NKVE, also shah alam city centre is just on the other side of the NKVE near the setia alam toll. Hopefully, they will build an access road either through the bandaraya/lebar daun development ( U11) or cahaya alam.


Happy or not, I think it equates to how severe the problems the owners have with their houses. Minor defects = happy, major ones will surely be a nightmare and leave a bad taste.

manjitsingh, sorry to hear about your situation. Do keep us updated.

I think this post is (manjit - it's your first post in lowyat) is not a very fair comment.
For the sake of clarity to other readers, perhaps a clearer picture could be obtained by viewing different parties of this long discussion, most of which manjit has been already involved.

Suggest to visit the already lengthy discussion here, and make your own conclusions:

Folks,

1) If you have ANY doubts, do not buy new house. Let OTHERS take the risk. Buy one or two years old house. You may pay 10% or 20% more but compare to having a house with sinking foundation, it is better.

2) My family has been in Klang for 150+ years. So, we know that area's history quite well.

3) It is VERY SIMPLE. Buy the house on the higher ground side of this area. Then, you avoid all this problem. How do you know which part is on the higher ground?? The OLD Klang resident know this.

4) Setia Alam has enough land to build over the next 20 years. There is NO NEED to rush.

Dreamer

Hi dreamer, can you please clarify on 2 and 3. I'm sure everyone here would like to know.

yumyum77,

If you live in that area long enough, you know which part of the land is soft and tend to be flooded over the long period (50 years). And, you know which part of the land is on the higher ground.

This is a COMMON problem of building house on Palm Oil Estate land.

10+ years agao, I was looking at some houses at USJ. They have the same foundation problem too.

Dreamer

Which part dreamer? North, south? the area nearer to jln meru?

yumyum77,

It is NOT as simple as that. People that live around there has memory of where is the high ground.

Dreamer

If i show you a map of the area, can u spot the lower ground places?

yumyum77,

1) I would not do that for you.

2) Why are you doing this?? Just do not buy a new house. Prevention is better than cure.

Dreamer

The new foundations are different and again, becomes less relevant. If one really decides to get a place, would strongly suggest to look into the details, and rather than getting trapped in the generalizations. This will allow you to have enough information to make a good decision, avoid risks, and most importantly not lose opportunities.

Anyway to answer your question, refer to this map - although it is less relevant in new design - but if you want to buy something absolutely on higher ground - then it's a good reference:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3632/364197...0aa504e19_o.jpg

Here are some general statements common - which all turns out to be wrong!:
- USJ / Subang during that time had mention air plane could crash or leak petrol on top of Subang houses?
- USJ palm oil estate - foundation issues
- Sunway & Puchong on top of ex-mining area - so lousy land?
- Kota Kemuning near sea level - so not safe?
- Sentul old area - can never develop?
- Netherlands below sea level so very dangerous?
- Singapore's buildings are build on top of reclaimed land made from sand?
- Dubai's tallest tower is build on top of structurally modified island - how can it be safe?
- etc

Moral: Data can be interpreted in many ways - just be aware of the different bad (and good) views, and odn't jump to conclusions so quickly.

Indeed, making decisions based on sweeping statements and you would have lost the opportunity in USJ also
Only market analysts do that. What were they analysing on the market before the crash happened?

The real decision makers, will look more in the details.

Yup i know about the new foundations/design and all. Since this dreamer says his family stayed in the area for 150 years, it would be interesting to hear what he got to say . It's fine too if he doesn't want to reveal his 'secret' .

Basically, from your google map/earth tool the blue areas are all lower ground, am I correct? Almost all area at the south side of P8 is on lower ground and that's where the early phases are. North side of p8 is on higher ground, it gets higher as we move east towards p6 and then to the highest place in SA.(except for the northern part of p7). We wouldn't know if there was a stream or ponds that were filled when they cleared the land unless we dig out some info from some gov dept .

I still believe this is a nice place to stay despite the serious soil settlement issues experienced by some owners. It would be interesting to see SP Setia's response to this problem... too much is at stake to let it pass as word gets around fast ( i'm already contributing to it)

Setia Alam so good meh?

Got residents there complain wor.

Setia Alam soil settlement

hello miss captain obvious.

Kenny,
The link below already block by setial alam developer. If you think they're rightful why they want stop this topic. Why do they interfere?? Turth is always painful but the mistake their contractor did in buiding the phase1 is what the pain I'm going through now. I started renovation since Dec08 and until now I cannot move in because this problem.
If the cavity under my house that happen due to soil settlement is not fillied in, in 10-20yrs thousand or millions of cockroaches or even rats will be nesting under our houses. When cockroach die we won't know but we will sure know when rat die beneath our house.

The bandar setia alam managemant are not telling the truth to their boss Tan Sri Liew. i soon will be lodging police report under civil law against this tan sri for cheating me and giving me low cost quality house.

I'm only earn RM3800 per month and pay RM1100 to citibank for my loan and this is the most expansive stuff i bought in my life so far and most likely i will be paying for it until my head hair turn white. But the stupid tan sri already sucking my blood and living in luxury life. I curse him that he and his family will die from cancer in most painful manner. bastaaaard..........

KeNNy,

1) Most people ONLY buy one house in their life. If they bought ONE with foundation problem, they are done.

2) I had seen brand new USJ house with cracked wall with foundation problem. This is NOT a generalization.

3) Consumer protection law in Malaysia is WEAK. So, buyer beware.

Dreamer

P.S.: I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why people rushing to buy house??

A) Economy is not going to do well any time soon.

B) Setia Alam has enough land to build for 20 years. There are plenty of houses to choose from.

C) Seriously, over the long run (20 years), I have not seen house price in Klang and Shah Alam appreciated that much.

Fri morning when I was heading to Setia Alam, I discovered one thing.

HAZE. Very serious haze. Courtesy of our neighbour (although the culprit might be Malaysian).

Dreamer,
I respect your opinions and comments. Again, I can only suggest to go into the details. But fair enough if you think Setia Alam isn't a good place. It's just different cups of tea
However, I don't think Setia has 20 years of residential land bank there - where did you get this from?

Maybe you can advice where would be a good place for those who are looking to invest, or those who are looking for a place to stay.
It will be nice to share the results of your research comparing other locations. It gives an option to forumers here who are looking for properties elsewhere.

manjit,
You've seen the replies There's really no upside in being confrontational and cursing Tan Sri over this, especially that is not within SP Setia's scope (your renovations).
Put this behind you for a moment. The members in the forum has continously tried to help you - I think they may have given up. But seriously, please consider.
I don't see how you can solve anything by cursing others. The rule of Karma.

For other news, just to share some news on Precint 1 upcoming Setia Mall - for those interested.
Make your own interpretations I'm not sure if the article means Setia Mall is running with 3 major anchor tenants, or going to choose 1 out of 3.
Another location I could think of having 3 major anchor tenants are 1Utama (Metrojaya, Jusco, Parkson) and MidValley (Jusco, MetroJaya, Carrefour).
