Kajang town developed by Metro Kajang or MKH always flood because last time they cut a lot of corners in designing drains and retention ponds - admitted by their very own people. Never trust this sly and greedy developer ever ! Now they send people on this very forum to talk up their latest surrounded-by-biggest-cable Kajang 2 project. Come on guys, can't you see Kajang 2 is already stagnant? when was the last new phase being launched? June 2011? everyone is rejecting Kajang 2

I will NEVER consider any development by Metro Kajang. They are in my blacklist. Terrible workmanship. Just ask current owner of Hillpark and Pelang Semenyih.
Metro Kajang is also very unethical and cunning in their marketing. Take Hillpark for instance. 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 ?
What Metro Kajang sales advisor said cannot be trusted cos the MKB management already so unethical.

I sincerely wish those who purchased Kajang 2 GOOD LUCK as there bound to be unpleasant surprises or disappointment later.

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.

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.

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.

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.

syniverse,

strange that you researched by talking to MKH (no longer MKB) house owners AFTER paying a deposit. Why didn't you do so before paying the deposit? Since I am thinking of buying property in Kajang, I have decided to probe BEFORE paying a deposit. I came across this forum and after reading yours and talbac's comments, I paid MKH Berhad a visit. I have grilled them on the "problems" that you and talbac talked about here.

Back to the probe, MKH said the tiles on the pelang semenyih came loose was a result of defective materials used. These materials are not made by them. According to them, they have been actively remedying the problem for all reported cases even though it is way passed the Developer Liability Period.

As for the problem of collapsed retaining wall, they said that they believe it was as a result of earth movement and that, they had taken immediate action to fix the said.

On the factory built next to HillPark, they said they did not know that the land next to HillPark will be used to build factory because the other party submitted their application to the authorities for permission to build a factory there way after MKH has submitted their application to develop HillPark, and that is something they have no control over.

Is there such a thing as a problem-free construction? I wonder.

Well, I don't want to listen to MKH excuses anymore cos I already gave up hope on them. After researching in property field for some time, I can tell when developers are sincere in handling your complains or just "talking cock story" to brush you off.

For others who think putting your hard earned money but getting hopeless quality houses that you'll probably be staying with your loved ones is ok, it's your choice.

syniverse,

I can say the same about you talking cock just to put someone or an organisation in a bad light. They wouldn't be around for decades if they are lousy. mind you, they are growing. Maybe you should move your attention to another forum that discuss on properties as you will easily find a property by a developer of your liking instead of waffling about here and leave us alone.

in response to your, "For others who think putting your hard earned money but getting hopeless quality houses that you'll probably be staying with your loved ones is ok, it's your choice," many have put their money into MKH properties and they are staying in those properties with most loved ones. Many more have put in their money into MKH properties and will soon be moving in with their loved ones.

LOL, MKH fanboy spotted. I feel sorry for you cos you got no high expectation in life if you consider MKH to be good developer.

Probably you've purchased a MKB Kajang 2 property. I sincerely wish you all the best.

Probably you're a MKB employee. If that's the case, don't be to supportive of MKB so that your motive/identity remains intact.

By sharing my sentiments on MKB in this thread, I dont expect warm welcome and hugs.

Laugh all you want, how would anyone here knows you are someone with high expectation? just because you ran down someone. Yes, I have bought one, and I don't mind having more best wishes.

and probably you are disgruntled ex-employee or maybe a current employee. Don't know what you meant by keeping your motive/identity intact - the sentence doesn't make sense.

don't know why you even bother to say, "By sharing my sentiments on MKB in this thread, I dont expect warm welcome and hugs." as if your presence or the absence would make a difference.

It is time for you to get a life.

Seriously, you are a joke. No wonder Malaysia can't improve with folks like you around.

Your previous statements like "Crime is everywhere" , "high tension cables are common nowadays" . Man, where do you grow up from ?

Don't you desire a high quality of life or have a good standard/expectation in your life ?

Read my comments again. All I did was informed the forum of the feedback that I received when I questioned MKH about the problems/defects stated by you. How would that amount to aggressively defending their incredible defective works? To use the phrase, "incredibly defective", the comment could very well came about because of a personal grudge.

I have suggested to syniverse to go to forums on other developers to look for the property to buy since he has been bad mouthing MKB, which is a brand of the past. Why keep spending his time here?

I'm back. And I will continue spreading awareness to forumers on Metro Kajang or MKH (or whatever NAMe they changed to) on their poor quality houses, unethical sales/marketing techniques & hopeless after sales service so that potential housebuyers will NOT make the same mistake as kajangnewbie.

FYI, you can't deny forumers from sharing their thoughts/sentiments on a particular developers.

I find that not acceptable too. Isn't it like selling 'Serdang' property but say it 'Subang Jaya' just because it is under MPSJ?

I just realising the sinking house of MKH is quite famous in Kajang.
*
Exactly. I concur with you. Being the developer, MKH knew that HillPark falls under mukim Semenyih (bears Semenyih postcode & address), but they still marketed HillPark as "HillPark Kajang". Another cheapskate marketing by MKH.

HillPark Kajang also surrounded by factories and industrial lots, this we knew by looking at the surrounding. What MKH failed to inform housebuyers is the huge plot of land (which does not belong to MKH) next to HillPark are will also be used to built MORE factories. As the master developer, you expect us to believed that MKH dont know that the land next to Hillpark is industrial land ? Only an idiot will believe that. MKH just hide the truth from house buyers. God knows what else they are hiding from house buyers for their Kajang 2 project. Time will tell. That's why I said "Good luck if you purchased MKH properties" . They just lacked etiquette and moral in building houses which is the most important purchase for an individual in his/her lifetime.

But I've deal with some developers that are really professional and tell you honestly the truth (provided you ask the right question)

I concur with you two.

Ok, even the Mukim falls under Semenyih, ok lah, if they market a HillPark Kajang if the township is big and really bordering and easy accessible to Kajang. Title sometimes confusing. But if postal address also Semenyih but to sell as Kajang?

I also wondering MKH other project, Saville @ The Park Bangsar. I see the Malay Reserve Land project is located at Pantai Hillpark or next to Kg Pantai but cant imagine they call it Bangsar, which is far separated by a federal highway. My Bangsar frens really laugh it like hell. Dunno why they use Bangsar... Even use Bangsar South name by UOA also a bit, hmm. No opinion of this troublesome project.

Maybe they will build a land next to The Arte @ Subang ( opps its Shah Alam ) n name it as Hillpark @ Subang or Glenmarie and both sama sama market an exactly Shah Alam project ( with Shah Alam poscode ) under Subang Jaya.

But as a big developer or player, they should have know their masterplan very well and quite well inform of the lands surround its masterplan project. To say, they dunno they are factories, a huge number going to build at next to it's own land, then I feel the developer was not honest enough.

Sudah lost creditability, MKH.

You totally got the facts. Chris.

Don't understand why some ppl are fanatically protecting MKH while genuine/ex MKH house buyers are sharing their bad experience and sentiments with MKH.
Probably when Kajang 2 houses are ready, some ppl will realized he/she "stepped shit" already thumbup.gif

there is a difference between a landslide and a building structural failure.

There are 2 sides to foruming, 1. facts and 2.opinion.

1. I am here to make known some facts, such as the problems and rumah tenggelam of MKH, collapsed retaining walls, inconsistent marketing etc.

2. I also inserted some opinion which you may or may not agree, and i am not trying to impose kajangnewbie or Lcsx to agree with me on my opinion. Most important is that Kajangnewbie agreed with the facts.

Totally agree with Talbac on this.

His metaphor that MKH is like a cheating partner is also true.

MKH only has 1 good project - Sentosa Heights, but that is sold at a premium price. So actually they can do a good job if you pay them an exorbitant amount.
For the rest of their projects that they branded affordable, they give you sub-par quality houses, and terible customer service.

I personally had given up hope on them. But I guess if you just want a roof over your head and no other expectation for a home, then MKH can give you this.

Hi. I'm also agreed with Talbac/Syniverse. I just a silent reader before. But after I got my key  rclxm9.gif for the Kajang2 double storey,  I need to agree with Talbac/Syniverse. MKH workmanship is so-so for the almost 500K house eventhough they claimed that they have Qlassic (you can see the 'Qlassic" symbol on their brochure) and really frusted  vmad.gif with the workmanship and the way they handle the rectification work. The painting is very bad, staircase not level where some of the steps is sloping (too steep even naked eyes can see it), kitchen sink just like second hand one with dents everywhere, not to mention water leaking at upperfloor bathroom slab where they still cannot rectify, doors with sub-par quality, my sliding door frame can easily detach from the wall (in fact, they not even secured it properly to the wall); just to mention a few.   
The only thing that i can say okey is on their tile works; quite good.

This is not my first house, since i already bought one with another dev before which doesn't have much quality problems like this. Haiyya.. doh.gif

The way MHK handle defect is very frustrated, almost two month still not yet rectify. Very very slow.
Now I'm still waiting for them to clear the defect. I don't know until when. Pity me... cry.gif I hope I had read this forum earlier doh.gif
*
Sad to hear the defect and quality of your Kajang 2 house by MKH although I'm not surprised. Just a tip for checking the wall tiles, trying knocking the wall tiles with a steel spoon. if you hear hollow sound, then better break them and ask MKH to replace, otherwise, the wall tiles will start falling in 1-2 years time.

If it's any consolation, bear in mind that your house is NOT the only one with such terrible workmanship and quality. And as mentioned, it's gonna be a frustrating experience when MKH handles the defect cos their customer service is really bad.

It's a shame that when we forked out a large sum of money for own dream house, we really hoped for a quality and well built house. When we finally see the quality of the house, we feel that the developer could in fact did a much better job.
