Oh my god, thank you again for the early warning. Seems like i need to reconsider about this

Is there a particular time the smell comes? Like in the morning ? Would like to go there and survey again coz the last times I went at night and afternoon there is no.

not so sure for the "timing" but i always passing by that area from kuchai to kl.
morning usually no smell, but late evening and night time i smelt it before. lets say 6-7pm, then 9-10pm

of coz if for own stay purpose and dont think of resell right after VP, should be ok.
you may keep it for mayb 10 years? resell at no rpgt. haha

I don't get why some here deemed it as 'okay' for own stay next to a crap pond and htc. I myself even cannot imagine having to tolerate the bad smell and staying next to a htc in the next few years in this project.

There are many other rumahw1ps and affordable housing around the Klang valley situated in better locations than this.

AK workmanship is my biggest concern right now. I like the location, but I'm biased because I already stay nearby.

+1

There better place for affordable housing....
Since government jv with developer in many location... Even in KL under AK also got many to pick from...

My friend stayed in Iris Apartment, which is much further from the pond than any of the new AK Taman Desa developments, and he also cannot tahan. Moved out in a few months. So unless the pond is covered up completely with future development, I think existing owners might have to suffer for a few years. Not to mention the HTC nearby, but the health hazards of that would be a debate for another day.

Every time I passing by the area, I stop in front of project site and wind down window, take a deep breath (risking my life to help u guys to survey). About 3 times I did this (all different time spot), didn't feel any smell.

But, if I go further away from project site location, for about 300m, which I think it is nearer to the place where smell origin, I will feel the smell.


Main contractor for this project is called TME Builders, which is different main contractor from previous "trouble" main contractor that get very famous online. So far, TME Builders is yet to make any big trouble to their completed project. I still studying about their completed project.

Is this where your friend stay? (as attached photo)

Was chit chating with a resident there, the resident living there for about 8 years. These info might be useful for new Tmn Desa resident.

Pasar Malam
Thursday pasar malam is next to Faber Tower, which mostly cater to malay market.

Friday parsar malam is also nearby, but its nearer to Armada Villa, which mostly cater to chinese market.

Food
Many great cuisine can be found here.

-Japanese restaurant by true Japanese.
-Korean restaurant by true Korean.
-Thai restaurant by true Thai people.
-And of course, local Chinese, Malay, Mamak, etc.

So where's the source you think ajinomoto?

Depending on which spot you stands.

If you stands at Desa Water Park (Point A), I think the source of smell is from the waste treatment pool.

If you stands near Kuchai (Point B), it is from Ajinamoto.

Yeah. He then moved to abadi indah also same. In the end, he went to danau murni then baru cannot smell.

Good to know this.

About the smell, Iris (and also Abadi compared to new developments) is a lowrise - so possibly easier for the smell to reach without dispersing. My theory is that if I'm facing away from the pool and on a semi-high floor, there shouldn't be any smell issue. Also for some reason, I normally can smell only when I drive on the highway between Kuchai and Taman Desa (next to Ajinomoto) but almost never smell when I use the water park road - and I've been living in Taman Desa for nearly 30 years.

(Yes very uncle and old already)

My respect to you bro. Can see you are doing due diligence.

It seems like a convenient place. Did the resident say anything about the pond then, or opinions living around there? they got any feedback regarding this project?

and thank you for providing so much info.
