A friend who is familiar with the area also told me he didn't think it was such a serious situation, apparently, the main issue is who's responsibilty and obligations to fix things up.

Actually, he is eyeing Ameera subsale but currently beyond his budget. I told him that hopefully, the incident might enable him to secure a unit within his budget now......

human being is like this , its more on malaysian attitude ..

in their mind is :
- its not danger until it fall ... or half fall ..
- its not bubble until its burst ...

i dont wish to see another building fall due to raining season ..

ken 3 left right all tall building. one side got low cost apartment.

i know the security guard is very rude de....lift slow and small. Once visited a friend, waited more than 15 mins. it was after 9pm. whole lift full of people.. squezzzzzzzeeeee and that time i remember the lift no air-con.

but location is good!

ya, only 2 lifts to serve 12 nits per floor, and total gt 22 floors...really not enuf...

everyone applies a look and see attitude in regards to this. 3rd world mentality at play yet again. ken will wait for state council to responsible to fix while council wait for ken to fix, whilst both wait for each other, situation continues to deteriorate with water sifting in and eroding bit by bit.

in the end? neither ken nor state council loses as everyone else watches. up to a critical point, some last minute low cost solution will be applied and the same problem will happen not long after that. rinse and repeat

when situation seems repetative then investors/owners start to real worry

hehe... you're 101% mysian alright. that is 99% product of 22 yrs of madhaderism - profits for the cronies come first.

i think the damage is done in Ken 3 pricing and residents psycology.
Investor who buy into this unit will look into the collapse issue happening again after it fix.
The residents is fear everytime it is raining season.

I think the price for this property is only one way down or maintain.

The issue is not murder or suicide jumping, it can be a potential permanent damage to the structure of the building or never ending repair & fix, finger pointing and how about if some tenants bring the case to the court.

I would say the nightmare just started.

No way the price will stay, it has been inflated from 180k to 460k for the same unit, for those investor, it is better to take a 20% discount off the current price (still with much profit on hand) to get rid of this ASAP and put the money in a safer basket.

but the problem is, even with 20-30% discount, i wonder will have ppl dare to buy or not....

why you so happy, people are having a disaster, some are their lifetime saving..

yalo, this is a sad news actually, eventhough u feel not sad on it, but at least dun act like so happy. some ppl put their life saving just to wish to hv a nice place to stay...i almost bought a unit there 2 years ago...hope this issue can be resolve permenantly becoz ken 3 is really nice place ot live...

wow the price goes up to 550k for 1057sqft, someone is trying to take opportunity of Ken 3 under the media spot light now.

For those who put a life saving into this property, sell now with discounted price, a 50% off at 270k still got profit.

I have no interest in ken3 but i personally feel the developer / related parties should work together and fix up the defects. Though the units had been completed and handed over, I still feel there should be still some degree of moral obligations to the owner

That's why, I suppose these days, ppl are willing to pay a premium price to reputable and responsible developers.....

Wow..soil movement should be taken seriously..who knows it might affect the foundation? Highland towers collapsed because of unnoticed underground soil movemont after heavy rain..

hey guys, i think misunderstood my meaning,
i clap mean i agreed to the statement... not felt happy to this news...
of course no one hope these things will happen to their homeland...including me..
sorry if misleading anythings,,,

visited the site, looked worse than pictures in papers. its very disturbing to know that authorities are not taking matters seriously while residents are
praying there's no downpour until partition wall is re-erect. wonder how did the partition wall gave way in the first place & will it reoccur again after remedial?

I almost want to buy a 15th floor unit from a friend 3 years ago, but decided not to as I don't think I can afford the instalment then. Now I feel lucky that I did not buy it.

soil movement is dangerous in the near future whereas heavy raining even make it worst.

better not stay there bcos it is a bad sign already, but alot of people dont care

wait till shit happens then only ppl will regret. By that time is too late....

was surprised that ken (the developer) share price didn't stumble at all.
ken has been in the news lately trying to project the image of a green developer. it surprises me that it was reported in the paper that they were not willing to repair the wall.
personally, i think it will be a responsibility of all authority (mppj), developer and most importantly the consultants.
developer is basically the financier of the porject. they don't know nuts about technical issues. it should be consultants and the approving authorities to take the rap for it. in malaysia, usually people go after the developer due to the perception that developer have deep pockets. but try this in singapore or develop countries and the architect/c&s engineers should be in court now.

as for ken3 prices. some will start selling and some will take opprtunity to buy it. so in the end, the price should maintain.

just my 2 rupiah
