Boss, you are right.
My concentration is mainly at the southern of KV and northern is not my fort. Only certain township towards the north capture my attention.
If you seen my post, I normally won't comment anything unless I have done my homework and data crouching. Also I have limited time and resources, so I can't cover every township. Of course Coalfield, Kubdang or GG are notable township and worth mentioning but as I said, just can't cover all of them.
Yes, Elmina master plan has those but the most notable one is the mall and industrial lots. For the mall, it remains to be seen if SDP can pull it off to make it a happening place. I believe it is doable as there is no decent size mall nearby but need to exercise caution as sdp track record in recent years for commercial is not exactly excellent. If you look at Bukit Jelutong (BJ) commi, they aren't doing very well. Good enough for basic needs but when one needs something more, one has to travel further. Fair enough BJ was not develop by SDP but mall development is no walk in the park.
The industrial lots are also a concern. Having an industrial plot so far away from the air/freight port might not make much sense.
It's good to analyze the master plan and note what's being plan but it is also important to see if it makes sense and what being planned will complement, enhance and sustainable for the township purpose and direction.
Coming back to the purpose of this thread, capital appreciation for landed in the next 10 years or so, as I said, I'll aim for capital preservation instead.
Hi Longshot,
That's a very nice analysis, what you said indeed make sense especially what are the use of industrial lots when they are so far away from the air/freight port.
Fortunately, the government has already foreseen this, and the plans are in motion.
(1) Freight.
There's a ECRL's station (confirmed to be in motion) which will connects Puncak Alam (near to Elmina's industrial lots) to major seaports both western and eastern of peninsular Malaysia.

Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has announced the approval to construct a Northern Alignment East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) station here (Puncak Alam).
(2) Air CargoOur current Transport Ministry is determined to proceed with the proposition to redevelops Subang Airport which again near to the vicinity of Elmina.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Monday (Feb 6) said that the redevelopment works under the Subang Airport Regeneration Plan (SARP) will upgrade the airport into a “regional aviation hub”.
That's why I also mentioned about Chinese private and also primary school on top of the existing international and kebangsaan schools that we have in the vicinity of Elmina, this will spur a more diverse races in the area. These are the extra catalysts that I can see for now when comparing Elmina to its neighbouring township like Bukit Jelutong etc.
The industrial lots and commercial areas (offices) in the city centre of Elmina, hopefully will play a better role and it will be nice to get MSC status extends from Ara Damansara to Elmina.

I am not very sure on this but i believe that the ECRL connects to Puncak Alam which is near Elmina industrial lots. As part of the China's BRI exports to china will make plenty of sense. I put my bet on Elmina as it is freehold and will be my retirement home plus something to leave to my future generations. You won't have to worry SDP will abandon the project as they have very deep pockets and that area is poised to be the most upmarket in the surrounding developments. I actually went to enquire about MKH property in puncak alam and the sales guy said if he had money he will buy in elmina ...
That's right ! And SDP actually has long track record of building townships, so Elmina is like their latest version of implementation based on all the knowledge and experiences that they garnered in the past (previous version) , so the chances of screwing up is less likely

If all according to the original Masterplan, then things won't be that bad
