my 15% came more than one month ago. Few days ago I got my 3rd instalment (and its double the amount of 2nd instalment, warggggh..!!!! ). In kepong got OCBC branch.. I paid using their cash deposit machine.

ok... tokking about OCBC (off topic a while).. they always make me pay "more". my first instalment is rm80.xx, and I'm forced to pay $100 into their machine (since I don't have rm10 notes, only 2x $50).

their 2nd instalment also around the same pattern .... $rm120.xx ... I have to feed the machine with $130.

this 3rd instalment is the SAME.... rm$230.xx ... gosh... there goes my $240 ....

I think we can use interbank transfer of $ to pay instalment, but don;t how to go about doing it. you can try consult your public bank staff.

Thanks for your advices. my first payment will be end of this month. I guess I will received my 3rd installment soon. then I will go the OCBC branch to pay. Interbank transfer will charge us RM2. it is not worth, since my office is near Kepong.

This is what the salesperson told me also. If RM 65 covers maintenance and usage of clubhouse facilities then I think it's very worth it.

Hmm.. seems like they all talking the different stories.. But my sales agent called the head office on the spot when we asked him about this maintenance and clubhouse issue, from what been told by head office the Rm65 is included upkeep and also clubhouse usage for 3 three years. They confirm this because we have been asking them for many times.

Added on October 5, 2007, 1:54 pmIf not mistaken, the new row of Phase 3 is somewhere near the clubhouse, but it is just beside the high tension wire (the tower). You can check it out. About the free air-cond, they said they only have this promotion last time, for level 2 in Phase 2 because level 2 is harder to sell out. I'm not sure level 1 got this promotion or not, but level 3 and 4 definitely don't have. Pls correct me if I made a mistake.

I think its just part of their promotion. They promised an air-con for me for phase II during MAPEX early this year, so you getting a 3-year clubhouse usage for your phase III is considered normal lo I guess.

i am not sure on it...will check it out !

I created a 'friendster' account, then i post the photos that i took from the site. I think it's the best way to show you guys the progress, as I don't know why I can't post the photos here. The high tension tower is like 'L shape', starts from somewhere near clubhouse, then entend to right side of Phase 3 (uphill somewhere near water tank), from there extend to somewhere near last row of Phase 2 and Phase 3, then to further... Although the towers look quite near to the area, but actually it's around or more than 100 m from Phase 3 1st row, which is facing down hill. You guys have a look for those photos, then you know what I mean. I have been to the office and site for many times.

The tower doesnt seem to extend to the right, but the left instead.

The houses under constructions are phase 1 and I can see the tower protuding at the back (refer to pic 2 of 5). If its so, the expected phase 2 will be behind the phase 1. I hope phase 2 house wont be NEARER than ever to the tower.

thank you for the referrance ...will check it out on tomorrow !!!

Hi there, I have modified a plan for the whole project, and I have put the location of the high tension tower on the map, please have a look for it, then you guys will have a clear picture of the whole project. Yes, the tower is extend to the left side, and it's like a 'L shape'.

this is "disturbing".From your drawing, I hope the towers is NOT right next to the further end/up of the area. I expect them to be greenery, then maybe the towers can be partially hidden by the greens about 30 metres or more further up/inside the jungle.. that would be acceptable.

Well, from what i know, the last row of phase 2 & 3 is facing a slope which is about 50 feet height from the ground and the tower is just built on top of the hill. I guess u still can see the greenery. However, my sales agent told me the ground floor would not have chance to view the greenery from the balcony, as on top of the 1st and 2nd floor is the car porch of third floor. So. this unit not really enjoy the real greenery. That is why he told me ground floor is going to be very dark as its design not allow it to absorb much light, unless u r buying corner unit. Even ur unit is on the last row, ur main entrance is facing ur opposite block of houses, and it is going to block ur view as well. Anyway, what we concern about is not the view, but is the side effect of the high tension wire (eventhough there is no scientific proof).

was there last weekend. seen some construction workers building up some sort of scaffolding on both sides of the main road. I think the construction of the flyover from amansiara to KL has initiated =)

Hi everyone, glad to have read this forum. Need advise from you all.
Yesterday, I have made booking on the phase 3 corner unit (lot 194) which my side balcony faces the north (towards templer park). Do you guys think there will be any new development on the right side of the area?

Secondly, mine is 2nd floor. Will the yard at the back of my master room be dark as the 3rd unit's car park has block the sunlight?

Really need any kind advise here.

congrats to our new neighbour keiichicol!

since yours is corner unit with balcony, the light will shine in from the corner/back of your house lo. no need to worry about the lack of light there. As for the new development, we won't know. you can try made enquiries to the MPS (majlis pembandaran selayang) and check for future developments around amansiara.

Thanks alanyuppie.

I do have a concern which is the high tension tower.
My wife is an engineer and she found out these websites regarding issues at Rawang. Im not sure whether the affected area in the news is near to Amansiara or not. Perhaps you guys could give some hint.

thanks

Can I know when is the completion date for the aman siara ah?!

FOR PHASE 1, IT WILL BE COMPLETED ON JUNE 2008, FOR THE 2ND AND 3RD PHASE, IT WILL BE 2009.

Hi Amansiarers,

Glad to see topics on AmanSiara. Been waiting for this since last year. I bought a unit early this year. Myself did visited the site recently and really disappointed when seeing the High Tension Power Tower building around the area. Was told by the agent the developer did highlight the issue to TNB but 'they' (Leadmont agents) claimed TNB given response that since our house is still building and no CF hence not eligible to make complaint.

You guys think anyway we can complain this? Maybe to National House Buyers Association of Malaysia (HBA) http://www.hba.org.my ?

Hope everyone here do keep this topic active or maybe create a online group somewhere.

Btw, Leadmont already sent me July to release 1st 10% money from bank but I have not receive any letter on completion nor request for the 2nd 10% work. Are the progress consider slow?

Cheers.

Thanks for ur info, jumps. didnt know there is a NGO website for home buyers.

In fact, here are some articles regarding EMF(electro magnetic field) which I considered them as vital knowledge to us.

quote from thie above website:
It is the wires / cables and not the pylons / towers that cause a problem.
The electric and magnetic fields are usually low enough by about 120 or 150 metres away ~ even from the largest power lines.
However some recent work at Bristol University suggests that living down-wind of the line (ie the NORMAL wind direction blows across the line before coming to your house) can produce a higher than normal incidence of a number of cancers. The 'safe' distance is about 500 metres, but is less if there are tall trees or high bushes between you and the line as most of the harmful aerosols attach themselves to these before they reach your house.
If the wind normally blows in any other direction than towards you from the power lines, then the 120 or 150 metres mentioned above is probably adequate.
Also, if it is a very non-polluted area (low natural radon gas and low man-made pollutants ~ industrial & motor vehicle, etc) then, again, the 120 to 150 metres clearance distance should be adequate.
