wow.. good for you.. a friend of mine also holding on his pelangi utama for more than 10 years, predict it will go higher when MRT is done

anyway, i do heard a lot of complaint about early batch of development in Kajang.. I am from there and its not 1 or 2 complaint, its a lot of complaint on their workmanship.. there are definately not a quality product developer before (I mean during old days la), but I cant comment on their current workmanship. ppl of the older generation in Kajang wouldnt want to touch their product due to some bad experience, having say that, it doesnt really mean they are bad forever (or still the same?).. anyone care to share on their latest product?

Agreed " it doesnt really mean they are bad forever "

Gamuda Land used to be very bad with quality - My experience with their bad Bandar Botanic D/S year 2005

But...... my recent Akasia unit quality is very good. Hear something like Signapore Qulaity standard.

I have being checking Kajang 2 for the past one year. Thinking the MRT could bring potential return.

surely won't be 10 years.

Date Completion is 2004 wor.

Korek.. bcos he bought since launching.. or i should say since he bought rather than hold?

The problem with Metro Kajang is not only terrible workmanship. This developer is just greedy and unethical in their marketing.
For example, Hillpark. Promoted as Hillpark KAJANG but Hillpark is under Semenyih. Current Hillpark owner felt conned as their house bears Semenyih address. Can't Metro Kajang just be honest in their marketing ?

Just skip whatever new launch by Metro Kajang. Their price is not that cheap either as they are starting to built expensive houses, unlike the old days. To have peace of mind, just aim for projects by reputable and ethical developers like SP Setia, IJM Land, Mah Sing, Sime Darby, etc. At least they don't treat you house buyers like idiots.

Added on May 9, 2012, 4:58 pmAnother example of exaggerate marketing by MKB for Pelangi Semenyih http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2318543

45 min. to KL Town Centre ?? It's possible to achieve that at 3AM where there's no other cars on the road.

Pls do your homework and don't trust 100% MKB marketing if you are purchasing MKB properties. You might regret it in the future if you don't do your homework properly.

The Metro Kajang people has infiltrated into this forum to talk-up their product. Pelangi utama is one of the shittest thing that has ever happened to my friend, whose ceilling is leaking with water like nobody's business.

The only reason they change their name from Metro Kajang to MKH is to erase their past. But they cannot undo their bad deeds.

The only reason we come to forum is to know the truth, the whole truth. The truth is Metro Kajang cannot be trusted. They are on the blacklist of all their previous buyers, just ask them and you will know.

Just to clarify bit, i am not MKH staff

Thank you for the information. I will think twice before considering their products.

Strongly agree with Talbac. The reason Metro Kajang changed their name is cos the previous name is already tarnished with bad reputation. So there's need for such rebranding.

I am not anti MKB. Just anti bad and unethical developers. After all, purchasing a property is the largest financial commitment for most of us.

Talbac,

Are you an employee from MKH competitor or are you a deeply disappointed past customers?

Because your statements are full of anger, hatred, and perhaps reckless in forming your own conclusion. Please be tactful and professional in forming your statement because the word "shit" or "cannot be trusted" are quiet a strong and harsh word, and sometimes interpreted by us as an attempt to "bully" MKH as a developer, thus requiring a full retaliatory response from existing MKH buyers against you.

I would suggest that instead of blaming and criticizing the developer, it would be wise to propose a solution or areas of improvement for us a potential buyer out there, to weight pros and cons of developer around Kajang. No developer is perfect, but that doesn't mean they are in a privilege position to abuse or con us as a buyer.

I have very close relatives and friends of MANY victims, that qualifies myself being a victim. All descriptions fits perfectly for this particular developer, and as you may notice, many people readily concur. Please do not think that me, or any of the victims are capable of bullying the all powerful Metro Kajang. Buying property has a lot of grey areas, of which all very much depended on the delivery of the developer, the fact is that Metro Kajang has not been able to deliver appropriate standards. I am not alone here, the victims all know this. Buying property is the biggest investment for a lot of people, hence it cannot go wrong AT ALL for anyone.

For Metro Kajang case, things that can go wrong has gone wrong - mis-interpretation (outright cheating?) , tiles for whole house came up (yes, whole house, please refer to pelangi semenyih), water leaking from ceiling (a standard MKH feature according to several existing product users), whole house tenggelam (how is it possible, you may ask, pleas refer to Bukit Mewah, Kajang), bad road planning that leads to road congestion, retention walls that collapse and of course, the most famous in Kajang(not satay) the KAJANG TOWN that FLOODS every so often is developed by Metro Kajang.

I do not require a full retaliatory response from existing Metro Kajang buyers against me, I just needed enough. After all, if half of the buyers are okay, and the remaining half of the buyers are cheated, that still qualifies Metro Kajang as irresponsible developer, because a lot of people would have to regret for the next 30 years.

We need developer to deliver 100%, no room for hanky-panky, mis-information or just plain bad workmanship. Your suggestion 'to propose a solution or areas of improvement for us a potential buyer out there' does not work because as i have said, housing industry has a lot grey areas which depends on the developer. That is the reason we come to forum for the truth. We are not here to teach them how to be good developer as potential buyer, we want the housing ministry to clam down on irresponsible developer such as Metro Kajang. So far, we know we cannot depend on housing ministry to do so, so we come to forum for reference.

Their recent project are no better, my friend is still staying in pelangi damansara. Water is still leaking from ceiling. if they really have turned a new leaf, sort out the past buyers problem.

There are still many good developers around for many people, metro kajang is, unsurprisingly, not on anyone's good list.

Harsh and reckless I am not. Blunt, yes.

Thanks for the wonderful explanation, Talbac. It was well-explained and shall provide a good lesson learnt for the potential MKH buyer and existing MKH customers (including me as well).

Please continue to provide feedbacks from your unmistakable evidence that established the fact that MKH is irresponsible and bad developer. bravo.

So u dare to buy from TALAM?

What about Zen Villa or something at 9th mile cheras? That one was by Metro Kajang too. Located just behind the catholic church and petronas on Saga Highway. Is the workmanship for that semid/bungalows good? I have never heard or read about it anywhere. Launched at 700k, now it is listed at RM1.7mil.

Talbac, I agree with you. Some of the examples you shared are true.
And just to clarify, I once placed deposit for MKB property but decided to cancel it after performing some research and talked to some existing MKB house owners.

Added on May 11, 2012, 2:09 pmI'm aware this thread is for Kajang 2 but since the developer is MKB, I would like to highlight MKB dirty marketing and unethical tactics practiced for MKB Hillpark project.
When Hillpark phase 1 was launched, MKB did not informed buyers that there will be industrial factories built next to Hillpark 1. This industrial factories are NOT MKB projects but separated from Hillpark with only 1 wall. The funny thing is the construction of the factories only begin after Hillpark 1 was fully sold thus buyers are pissed as they were not informed of presence of factories so near to their HP houses. Surely MKB would know of such factories will be built next to their project but they opted to hide this fact from buyers.

Hillpark 1 house owners have a facebook group that shares their grouse/experience of their new Hillpark houses. Among the issues raised are many cracked/broken tiles, water leaking from roof tangki, wiring badly done causing continuous elcb trip when lighting, fungus growing from wall, uncollected garbage (MBK in charge for HP garbage collection for now) and some others.

Pls visit Hillpark or visit the FB group to know more of MKB house qualities before you commit purchasing MKB properties.

I'm not a MKB buyer..but wished i was as some of their properties have soared and the buyers have enjoyed 100 - 200% capital gains..

From an investment point of view, the only thing that matter is the returns..Another example of a "bad" developer is Mayland..but its buyer have enjoyed handsome profits continuosly over the past..

So from an investment standpoint, these developers are good..

Jadite Suites (Jade Hills), launching soon. 03-87370122

received a flyer on their official launch of Kajang 2 on 30th June. Anyone interest to buy can let me know, i'm not an agent, but i'm existing buyer of MKH property, will get a reward for buyer get buyer programme, which i willing to share with you (buyer) on the reward.
