True. More true if high rise, but I've visited a high rise at Old Klang Road... seems like 80s or 90s design. The community there is amazing. The surau/community center got people. Got sports day for apartment residence. Got one pakcik main tanam sayur, buah ask people to freely take. Some give back. Really like Kg atmosphere, but in KL.

Landed-should be more like communal. May not be during work phase (not retired). Once retired, people get a long well. Community becomes more integrated.

Currently staying at a landed location, technically 2nd gen-a minority in the housing area. Most all 1st gen retired or almost retired. Got activities. Got yearly tour visit. Visit neighbours in hospital etc. But it depends on people and society. For Muslims, there is the 5 times to prayer-so lepak/chat after that. Can confidently leave house cuti-cuti lama because neighbours keep watch.

i miss my old day,

neighbour even give house key to you when they go cuti2.
neighbour gives you the hot dish they just cooked.
neighbour help you keep your shirt when raining is coming.
yes parking issue is common now, landed or highrise also same
