anyone going this weekend? I yet to receive my keys but I really want to start measuring my unit to get exact costings for renovation.

Anyone?

Shafary ... and to those who has contributed to the Amansiara cause. I sincerely thank you guys for all the efforts put in. CF is important to us all, but by having the CF, I think the bank I took loan from will release the final payment, which means all outstanding payments to the developer are done.
Anyone can guess what will happen when the developer got all the monies.

Ok, let's not be so pessimistic. But let's us think and try to come out with practical solutions.

What I mean is, for example, 28-feet roads. There is no way those roads can be widen. How can be make the traffic smooth, avoid parking woes and protect the safety of our children.

The water tank is another issue, some suggested to remove them, put them at the back, etc.

Perhaps we can start proposing some changes or suggestions while waiting for the committee to form.

Here are my suggestions:

1. ROADS. For narrow roads, if possible make them ONE-WAY. If the road has only one entry, then there must be ample space for three-point turn at the dead-end of the road.

2. PARKING. I believe most of us may have TWO (or more) cars. Perhaps we should have markings on the road (if possible) so that cars park at the road side are parked accordingly without blocking the traffic.


3. VISITORS PARKING. There must be various designated visitors parking. We have to identify areas suitable to be made visitors parkings.

4. SLOPED Entrance. For those houses that have sloped entrance with 20% gradient or more, they should have the first priority to get designated parkings, in front of their house. Perhaps permanent markings can be use to mark those areas. Proper drainage should be done since flooding is likely possible when rain is heavy.


Ok .. that is what I can think of from my working desk in the office. Let's hear from the rest of you.

Alan is right. Guys, before you complain about the road's width, please look at your SnP. As far as I am concern, the measurements of roads' widths, car porches' lengths are correct, according to SnP. So, if you guys wanna argue about these, you guys will be pretty disappointed. I am sorry to point out that some of us have overlook these matters in the SnP.

Here are my suggestions:

1. ROADS. For narrow roads, if possible make them ONE-WAY. If the road has only one entry, then there must be ample space for three-point turn at the dead-end of the road.

2. PARKING. I believe most of us may have TWO (or more) cars. Perhaps we should have markings on the road (if possible) so that cars park at the road side are parked accordingly without blocking the traffic.

OK ... Augustine and I will be at Amansiara showhouse at 10AM tomorrow (SUnday). Only Augustine has access card. Anyone else wanna come along?

I hope not to see anyone else using profanity in this forum, even if you censor the spellings, we know what words you are using. Allan is right, this is buying house and not buying candy. It is not the developer's fault if you did not study the SnP. Ignorance is not bliss in this case. If you are not professional enough to understand, there is always lawyers you can go to.

actually it is better to pay the instalments, at least it reduces the principal. If CF only completed in 7 years, I have less 7 years instalments to pay while for the rest, their loan periods just started. Pay interest for nothing.

Actually, the bank I took loan from, CITIBANK will start deducting instalments from me, from March onwards, even though the final payment to the developer are not executed yet. This is a good thing for me.

Great ... the developer does listen to ideas. I also would like to see simple markings on the road and signboards for designated Visitors Parkings. But I think this matter can only be discussed when the residents committee is set up, as we need to identify which areas are suitable for visitors parkings.

wow ... i have been so busy i lost track what is happening now.

Hi all, been away for far too long. Don't think anyone remember me now. I finally got a letter from WSB on the issue of VP. At last I dun feel out of place anymore with you guys..... kinda feel left out when not able to view my actual unit.

So I am back!!!! hahahahahaha ....... and I would like to thank each of you who has contributed to the community.

My major concern is not about CF because I know we will get it done, but more towards the running of the community, making sure each family understand the meaning of community. We all know how limited space is around the area, parking will be the first headache. It will be a heartache if we have neighbours who are not neighbourly .... So here I wish you guys good luck and looking forward to move in some time end this year or early next year.

Guys .... Rules can be changed. Once the JMB is formed, we can change these rules later. Please stop complaining about the rules, in 12 months time, WE ARE THE RULES! Please do not complain for the sake of complaining. Things like NO CYCLING, can be changed, but are you aware that Amansiara is dangerous for cycling? Not enough parking? Are you aware that some roads are very narrow and if your neighbour or a visitor park at the side of the road, it will block the traffic flow? No Pets? I am not generalising pet owners, but I do have cats or dogs which occassionally drop something on my frontgate.

It is better to suggest solutions. We have suggested to the developer that some of the roads be made ONE WAY and they did put up the signs.

I am even thinking of removing my front gate, perhaps I am mad but I don't see the need for it since it is a guarded community.

As for visitors parking, I notice that there are spaces here and there which can be made visitors parking. I will suggest to the developer to consider and paint lines on the road to denote parking for visitors.

I will also suggest to the developer that we have a designated location to dump the rubbish (which we as residents pack them in garbage bags) so that we don't need the garbage truck to come in, since some of the roads is so narrow.

Hacking structural walls is very dangerous, you might weaken the entire structure. I have a neighbour who did some hacking and one day I found long hair-line cracks on kitchen tiles.

So, let's think before we start complaining.

I have just collected my car sticker and access card, and will be collecting the keys at 9AM, August 15. I wish you guys all the luck.

By the way, when the day comes for us to form the JMB, who would be interested to spare some of their precious time to help out in ensuring Amansiara, a wonderful place to be?

Oppsss ... sorry .... gated eh ... hahahahaha. If JMB decided not to engaged a security firm, perhaps we can have RUKUN TETANGGA, ahem .... don't use this reason to stray ok .. hahahahahaha.

My in-laws will be staying at level 1 and I am on level 2. They have 2 cars and I have one. I am in the same predicament like those who has more than 1 car. The challenge now is how to find additional parking without blocking the traffic, without annoying my neighbours and without sacrificing the safety of all involved.

I visited my unit yesterday ... here are the PICS.

But when turn on the pipe, no water la ......

I got my keys 3 weeks ago. My unit is 067-B which translated to 30-2 Jalan Amansiara 1/5.

Those units which are on the same row as mine had all the Water Meter fixed already. Perhaps they are doing it batch by batch. The reason no water when I turn on the pipe was, one of the worker said, Syabas has not turned the BIG pipe yet.

As for the water pressure for the shower head, I will probably install a water heater with pump.

Connecting the shower water pipe direct from the source may not be a good idea as the kitchen basin water is direct too. So when someone is showering, and you turn on the water tap on the kitchen basin, the pressure will go down.

I was thinking that we should have a community wireless broadband network so that we can communicate easily with each other and/or to the Amansiara Committee. Perhaps we should continue having a PUBLIC FORUM even after we all moved in.

For those staying at level 2 and 4 of Phase 1. Did anyone of you cover up the balcony with windows and/or grille? I plan to but not sure if it is allowed.

can you upload your drawing please?

So Augustine ... when are you moving in???? I am forced to move in this year. I did not expect my current house to be sold within 2 weeks of putting up the "for sale" sign. Hahahahaa ... looks like I have to move in 3-4 months earlier than expected.

Yes it was a great meeting, but I don't think we received any ABSOLUTE answers to all the questions. But one thing for sure is, we have the backings of the YB and HBA. It is also good that MPS and SYABAS were there to highlight to us some of the issues like, 20 master titles?? hahahahaha ... what a joke, but unfortunately it is real.

The Protem committee has done a great job. The turnout yesterday was amazing. I hope this 1Amansiara attitude can be carried forward and enhanced further when the JMB is formed. In a community like this, the worst is to have uncooperative residents who:

1. Don't pay maintenance fee
2. Park indiscriminately
3. Do not manage rubbish well
4. Misuse/abuse common areas
5. Drive inconsiderately


I hope 1Amansiara can be a reality.
