Hrm to be fair - I think one makes decision based on the market situation, and the future.
Back in March, the economy was looking gloomy indeed. LRT plans were also fishy, it would seem the federal government was all out against any non-BN state projects.
So indeed, Pai's analysis is correct during that time.
3 months later, we made some sort of a V-shaped recovery, along with all the stimulus and ever low interest rates. LRT plans suddenly goes ahead.
These were all quite unexpected, and it had nothing to do with the developer, but rather purely a change in consumer behaviour, confidence and risk taking.
This was surely bound to happen, but maybe no one expected it to be so quickly.
So, the data now is quite different compared to the past. It will also, requires change the valuation and decisions one make.
Thanks Kenny for xplaining this to our Xui Cheng. She conveniently "forgotten" the date I put my suggestion in her cheap allegations. I suspect her english comprehension is on the low side coz she has problem understanding questions and answering them.
Btw, think SW was priced at close to 60% premium over Zest if we count psf. Zest staring price in its 1st phase was at RM200psf +- while SW cheapest unit was already above RM300psf

1. In mArch 09, Pai asked everyone not to buy Zest, asking them to "trust" him that zest cannot sell at least 1 year. This is confirmed misleading.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/952900I didnt ask ppl not to buy, but I asked them to wait for more freebies. U do understand basic english right? ......
Pls lie somemore so that ppl can see who u really are.

2. Then he suddenly buy one in Sep, 1 of the very last unit,letting all his "followers" behind....
Im the eighth of the many buyers in LYF that bought Zest( think there was more than 100 as per Eugene's list) when I saw signs of economic recovery. I declared my purchase here to everyone in the thread latest May/June.
Pls lie somemore so that ppl can see who u really are.

3. When those Heron's owners were crying all the defects, he claimed that these people were funny, he claimed thatit was a 100++ aprtment and what can they expect?
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1129024/+420[/b]
Didnt saw the cracks and tiles defects complaints until yesterday someone posted the link. Most of the complaints that I read in Heron was due to tenancy issues and management office behaviour, not structural defects, and my comments were made without knowing that there's potentially a structural defect issue....
Ignorance is bliss......

4. OMG, Pai claimed Puchong no bissnessman????? Amazingly misleading
Pls point out where exactly I made such statements, girl. You have yet to prove to us your claims on " Puchong has more businessman".
Pls lie somemore so that ppl can see who u really are.
QUOTE(chuah xui cheng @ Sep 20 2009, 10:41 AM)
Pai is also proven to be a spoon fed and lact of common sense, for example, do i need to elaborate on "If Puchong Slump, SW will also Slump"?
I believe Puchong will thrive with or without SW. U on the other hand seem to think SW is the center of universe, by making claims that SW will be 1st to benefit, SW is gonna be landmark etc. Making claims wihout justification to con others is blatantly misleading.

You are a good joker.
I have a policy of not making fun of ppl who acts like retards. So Im not gonna make fun of you. Anyway I think your false allegations will show the world your depth and what u really r.
Pls lie somemore so that ppl can see who u really are.

1. Pai ar Pai ... how can u say like that .. if like this, i pay sw 30% more expensive, then the quality shud be better than zest lor .. Well, honestly, do u know what u r paying ...
2. u dun find me rational anymore ? now maybe u would think noone rational/honest cos Cannot Tahan said he will buy another one wor .. Any savvy investor will choose a good developer ..
1. Correction - U r paying a least 50% more, right?. Pls compare the spec between what u'll get in SW VS what Zest offers, then tell us if its any better.
2. Cannot Tahan appears to be a long time investor with some experience in investing in Puchong. So I trust that he will have a game-plan, holding power and experience to ensure that he doesnt loose any $$$ later.
Im didnt say u r irrational, but do u have a gameplan, holding power and experience to sustain your unit if what SW did not turn out wonderfully as what the brochures sells you? Do you know what is the rental and seeling prices for condo's nearby?

hi...everbody, actually those famous developer also got a lot of defect, just like my sister buy a 2 million bangalow with SPS, now the living hall's ceiling got water leak out, after few times of repair thier contractor still cant slove the problem even though their action very prompt.
Currently i stay in bandar puteri but i feel that my floor tile at whole living hall not proper fill with cement. cos everytime i knock the floor tile the sound very empty not solid at all.
i still remember few years ago when IOI launch the project (sorry cant remember the project name), 1st day i visit, there are few protester from bandar puteri klang ask me dont buy IOI's property. cos their property at bandar puteri klang facing big problem. (land settlement, waste water flow back from drain, sewerage pipe crack, after flush the toilet, the water will over flow) and the IOI totally cant slove the problem.
thats y i dont think famous developer their qulity 100% good. this is my personally experience. no offend.
Hi Alan, thanks for sharing. Your experince will hopefully remind many ppl that no developer is perfect.
Btw, is your sisters bungalow is still within the defect liability period?
