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.
