Good impression, all facade will be same due to stratta not allow to renovate outside , less pets issue due to no gate , better security because got guard Ronda Ronda 😅

I have started a thread on this exact same issue here, you can look for it. Ilham developments will have a separate clubhouse with facilities but this will be optional in the future (free for 2 yrs) so that if you don't use, don't have to pay. Basically the facade will be maintained. No ugly colours and crazy extensions allowed. Better security as maintenance payments easily enforced against defaulters. With sinking fund collection, future upgrades are possible eg. electric fencing and cctvs all around. House Rules can be enforced ie. no littering/throwing of rubbish like bulk rubbish on roadside, growing pisang trees outside your house, parking rules etc. But the downside is pay maintenance every month. SDP mitigate this by installing solar panel to provide green electricity to lower your electric bill plus separate clubhouse. So its a fair trade off.

That's 15 acres of land that still belongs to the government. Strata title means the management rejects government assistance and wishes to self-manage only."

The 15 acres of land will not be included in your house's title; hence, it does not belong to you.

Even it is same with condo, your understanding seen like inaccurate. I try to explain with my understanding.

When you buy your condo, you pay for two things, first is legal ownership to "own" the parcel of unit with the size stated clearly on SPA (which will be registered with land office in strata title later), so you are the legal owner of this parcel and can sell it at mkt later. You also pay for the "legal right" to access and use the common properties (all infra, extra land and facilities WITHIN perimeter of your condo) but of course you can't claim you own the extra land so can do anything you want on it like tanam kebun or build car park, because it is shared by all owners and all owners appointed MC to utilise it in the best way to benefit all owners, so these common properties belong to Management Company, you only own the right to use it but don't have legal ownership on any inch of land beyond your unit boundary. For condo, yes your spa will also mention on the car park that belong to you

So now come to the tricky part, your condo must have mkt value, the value already included the legal ownership on your unit which is transferable, and legal right to access common properties which is attached to the legal ownership of the unit. So the value is determined by market and property valuer will do the valuation from these two rights. And valuation will be fluctuated based on demand supply.  If government want to take back the land, they have to compensate based on market value for freehold property, like buying these two right from you, the value is hard to say, it could be higher or lower, but from rule of thumb, we keen to believe the compensation should be mark to mkt as government don't wan to create any unnecessary problems and lose in election.

regardless of belong to MC or government, eventually its still not belong to the owners. The owner only own the land based on the geran (title).

Aiyo, i just give short answer: Common property belongs to MC, it is private land and it has been alienated ie. has a title. State land has no title.

i'm not sure we even have any precedent on this..

but as MC they are responsible on this..if you ask me you pay based on your share. thats all.

because even maintaince also you only pay your sqft.

they (MC) that decide on how to use it (maintainance / services, upkeeping)
