Bandar Cassia, Batu Kawan - Super-Development in Penang



Why got no traffic and so little people?

good lah not crowded

Only recently got first petrol station

Another Forest City in the making?

Some of the service apartments there such as Utropolis why like unoccupied?

I go there on week day noon so quiet?

don't really care lol. as long as not crowded and stay nearby to workplace and earn high income.

maybe when BKIP3 completed will be more crowded.

The First TGV Cinema In Batu Kawan Is Opening In 2022

not even a trace of a cinema now

Cos development faster than people moving there to stay.
On the side note.
This area used to be swamp land, palm oil plantation with plenty of chicken farms that breeds berbillions trillion flies!
Initial houses built encountered settlement, making plenty of cracks, door & windows gone out of shape. Many houses have to be rebuild with better foundations.

But the worse was the flies!
Insects screen do not work. Flies still gets in!
Every corner of the house got flies!
Kitchen flies
Toilet flies
Bedroom oso flies!
All utensils must be covered!!!

Maybe in another 10 yrs all the berbillions trillion flies will be gone?

Traffic Jam hotspot:

Halaman Seroja T junction
Bkt Tambun NSE exit
Link to Valdor
NSE between 2nd Bridge and Tambun

In another 10 years time people will be more focused on the later projects such as Gurney Reclamation and The LightCity.

No wonder la, got one mamak there at the corner, super fancy restaurant, but full with flies.. terus tak jadi makan..

Waste taxpayers money la this incompetence state gov

18 Jan mana bodo piang

not many people staying there yet, many houses also not yet complete
but many factory now (and is growing super fast) so 5pm-7pm is quite pack, lunch hour those eatery also damn full actually need to queue sometimes, but after 1pm you will see the crowd like dissapear in an instant lol
many people still go back to nearby developed residential area (valdor/simpang ampat/BM/island)
I think after 5 years when most house development are done will see more traffic during non working hour

most people staying all work in BKIP la.
if you family people with schooling kids not feasible as there is no good school + no public transport + jam route nearby Simpang Ampat/Jawi.

soon will open caltex, jaya grocer, columbia asia hospital, once have school then more familes will consider. i konw many rich fella bought eco alrd.. just not ready to move in out of school kids convenience.
anyway.. just across bridge damn fast to bayan baru and queensbay as well.

remember south puchong equine park.. last time is a dump...

funny now exit to mainland (simpang ampat/valdor/BM) is even slower than crossing bridge to island during after work peak hour, they really need to fix the traffic

There are Pig Farms, Chicken Farm next door, so expect lots of flies during rainy seasons ..and the smell ..ahh the smell ..

Can develop better food options?

I eat at Ikea until sked lioa.

No LRT line here sorry, expect high post directors and angmo CEOs also stuck in traffic with the rest of office staffs to go home in Tg Bungah and gurney.

At least with LRT office staffs no need to drive so big boss with big cars can drive peacefully on the road to office without jam.

Bodoh planning. Batu Kawan is the real rice bowl of penang not stupid heritage site or raja uda, in fact Most Malaysia FDI come from Batu Kawan. PDC cannot think build so many factories and expect everyone to drive there.

Need to solve trunk road connection with more exits of Batu Kawan 'island'
And true it's a dead town at night even with IKEA

This is the biggest issue there

Eventually confirm need force them out

it lack of Penang the most precious important element: food court with awesome hawker food

OWAI

PDC to build first market, hawker complex in Bandar Cassia – Chow

https://www.malaysiachinainsight.com/2023/0...ar-cassia-chow/



PDC is building it now. But then again, most of the hawker food in mainland sucks. All those traders/hawkers in mainland don't know how to cook one la.

That's why mainland is not Penang.

they are going to increase trains using the existing lines

mainland pg also has their own good food la. jawi chai kueh , pek kong cheng wan tan mee, bee tai bak, chai leng park chicken rice and etc . u really jakun la

only one. and far away @vorteks

all pipu want to run away from it
did u notice where got shortcut somewhere motorbike drove into jungle one

Batu kawan already have one caltex not yet open waiting for final approval.

There is a shortcut 1 lane cement road to NIBONG TEBAL nearby Micron

Potential oren home buyers will avoid that place like plagues.

Ya. Mainland food choices quite limited.

The chai leng park hawker center and the newly open food court next to pek gong cheng in BM not bad. Kim garden auto city and 888 icon city also okay.

Land is always flooded, former swamp land. Summore expensive.

a lot of rich ppl also start buying Dedaun bungalow lot, many newly built bungalow in there, that place finally happening after so many years

they prefer Crescentia Park or the one built by PDC opposite the stadium not far from Cassia, many already living there

got friends who bought house there, last until 2 - 3 years only then sold because cannot tahan .. cant open windows becoz of flies and smells, cant on the aircond 24 hrs , electricity bill will sky rocket ..

It'll sure pose health and cleanliness concerns with food outlets at the surrounding areas.

Greed has no bounds a swamp and pig stile wastelands turned into a technology park?

Many of island ppl started to buy eco world there for landed. But I still feel to hot there. No trees

But still like the big road no car

Location near the sea sure hot ..

Beli rumah kat area sana mmg gg
Tanah tenggelam retak x habis2
Good luck
