Sri Rampai finally Opened on 24/12/2010

2010-12-23T18:09:00.001-08:00

After more than 2 years of refurbishment, Sri Rampai LRT Station finally opened for passenger today. Not sure whether you can imagine, it takes more than 2 years just to re-furbish a LRT station. The efficiency of Prasarana and related parties is worrying? Not sure whether the new 35 MRT stations @ track will finished by 2015 as expected?

LRT station delayed handing over, only by 24th September

Asia Pacific shows improvement in real estate transparency

2010-07-06T06:35:00.001-07:00

Andrew Batt

Transparency within the real estate industry is one important factor for anyone considering investing within a particular country. The good news for investors in Asia Pacific is that the region has shown a broadly based improvement during the past two years, and in Australia now boasts the most transparent country in the world.

The 2010 Global Real Estate Transparency Index, released this week by Jones Lang LaSalle and LaSalle Investment Management, revealed a worldwide slowdown in the progress of real estate transparency over the past two years. The survey suggested that the recent turmoil in global financial, economic and real estate markets has impacted on market behaviour, with real estate players focusing on survival rather than market advancement.

The average improvement in real estate transparency across the 81 markets covered by the survey has halved in 2008-2010, when compared to the 2006-2008 and 2004-2006 period, with Australia leading the global stage and Asia Pacific showing the best improvement in regional transparency.

According to the transparency index, Australia now ranks as the world’s most transparency market, pushing Canada into second place and the U.K. into third. The traditional leading pack – Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., the United States and Canada, have now been caught up by a number of European markets, namely Sweden, Ireland and France who now sit amongst the world’s most transparent markets. Turkey registered the world’s strongest improvement due to the alignment of its legal and regulatory systems with the European Union.

Of the key components of real estate transparency, the transparency of the transaction process appears to have been compromised most by the more challenging real estate market conditions of the past two years. More surprising is the evidence of a slowdown of progress in the transparency of real estate regulatory and legal environments. The quality and depth of information on market fundamentals continues to improve nonetheless, helping to boost this dimension of transparency in most markets across the globe.

Nonetheless, there are a number of bright spots, and transparency continues to improve, albeit modestly, in the majority of markets. Of the top 15 improvers, nine are in Europe and six are in Asia Pacific. Turkey tops the league table of transparency improvers, and progress has been made in China, India, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Greece and Hungary. A number of more advanced markets, such as Germany, Ireland and Denmark, have also moved up the transparency league.

A korean girl drowned in Villa Wangsamas Condo near Desa Putra

2010-05-16T03:39:00.001-07:00

Children must be carefully monitor when they are in swimming pool. There are no lifeguard in any condo's swimming pool in Malaysia.
Villawangsa condo is just about 1km away from Desa Putra Condo where there are a lots of foreigners like korean and arabian staying here as there are many international school and college and IIU near by.

Widening Jalan Genting Kelang

2010-05-10T08:34:00.000-07:00

DBKL is in the process of widening Jalan Genting Kelang, one of the main road leading to KL. Currently is 2 lanes 2 ways road will extended to 3 lane 2 ways (same section is 4 lanes) expect to cater for additional 50% traffic volume. There has been tremendous increase in population in this part of KL (Setapak towards Ulu Kelang) since 2008.

Road Hump installed in Desa Putra

2010-05-07T00:25:00.000-07:00

Some residents were speeding within condo compound, therefore road hump were installed to slow down driver speed. But my personal observation is that some of the hump was not installed in the right place. It should be placed near the pedestrians crossing area (about 10 meter) instead of far away from crossing area.

Bas Sekolah are not allow to enter the ground floor as it is over weight (max weight allowed is 2500kg including loading). P4 was used as assembly point for pupils for School Bus to pick up.

2nd Warning Alarm for Landslide, Fire & Etc

2010-05-07T00:18:00.001-07:00

Malaysian were too use to false alarm, therefore JMC decided to install 2nd alarm system which will be manually operated by security guard in case of emergency. It is installed in basketball court facing all the block. Soon we will have fire drill for the benefit of all the residents, hope that all residents will participate as it is concern about their safety. I think it is a few of many condo that will have fire drill.

Briefing on the slope maintenance for Desa Putra Condo

2010-01-19T07:44:00.000-08:00

There were about 20+ residents turn up for the briefing on 18th January, 2010 organised by Management with the co-operation of developer. The briefing was done by the Geotechnique Engineer from original earthwork contractor, Mr. Tan Chin Shu. He give an in-depth knowledge on how the retaining wall was build as well as the foundation. They have adopted the safety guidelines of Hong Kong, which currently Malaysian government/JKR also adopted 90% of their guidelines.
Ir. Leon Weng Seng, the consultant engineer for Desa Putra Project was also presented during the briefing to give more technical aspects of the construction of Desa Putra Condo.
All slope construction require maintenance in order the safety of residents are not compromised in any circumstances. Mr. Tan also brought a book written by Ir Shaik Abdu Wahed titled "Slopes Made Simple", and I immediately grab one at RM50. The book is very informative.
Here are some tips picked up from the book on "signs of landslide danger":-
1. Drainage - Channels, streams, gullies, ponds and erosion on slope indicate potential slope problems. Sudden flow of water from slop with or without washed fine soil particles in the form of muddy yellow water.
2. Debris - Objects such as mud, rocks, fragments of concrete/brick and uprooted vegetation falling from the slopes and retaining walls. Deposition of soils and vegetation at the base of slopes show erosion, flow and creep from above indicating unstable conditions above.
3. Vegetation - vegetative charactistics indicate slope conditions. High slopes may show erosion and sliding. Trees which bend downhill show creep of upper soils. Trees tilting uphill may show deep rotational landsliding. Patches of younger vegetation may show former slope failure. Such signs should be watched for increasing ground movements.
there a lots more.....

5% property gains tax seen as a temporary move

2009-11-03T22:54:00.000-08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government’s proposal to impose a real property gains tax (RPGT) of 5% from Jan 1 may just be a temporary measure, says Taxand Malaysia Sdn Bhd managing director Dr Veerinderjeet Singh.

From left: Irene Dorner, Dr Veerinderjeet Singh and Taxand executive director Kang Beng Hoe at the seminar.

“We feel that it is a temporary imposition. We think that in the long term, the original scale rates of 30%, 20%, 15%, etc will be coming back,” he told a press conference prior to a seminar on Budget 2010 jointly organised by Taxand and the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) yesterday.

Prior to the exemption of the RPGT in April 2007, tax on gains from property sales was on a progressive basis from 30% to 0% depending on the holding period of the property.

Veerinderjeet however, said that total exemption from RPGT would be unlikely.

“What would probably not change is the 5%,” he said.

He called the RPGT tax imposition a “revenue generating measure that has not gone down too well with individuals.”

“We do agree that 5% does not appear to be sensible. Whether there will be a lot of revenue to be collected, we’re not sure – it depends on the transactions. But people would probably be happier if this took effect from 2011 rather than next year.”

He added however that property owners should be thankful that the RPGT was capped at 5% and not higher.

The M&E consultant of Desa Putra Condo advised that vehicles exceeded 2.50 Tons should not be allowed in to the building as the design may not be able to sustain the weight in long term. Therefore, management will come out with guidelines for this purposes to safeguard the safety of the building and residents here.
Owner should take note to ensure Desa Putra value will continue to increase and advise your tenant (if any) to follow the instruction of Management to avoid any argument in future.
Vehicles exceed 2.50 tones must not drive beyond the tiny round about behind the guard house.

Driving against traffic flow within Desa Putra!!!!! Many Inconsiderate Drivers here?

2009-08-05T04:54:00.000-07:00

Mr.A said:-
I would add one more item for the guards to police:- noting (and acting on) traffic or drivers who contravene traffic rules within the complex. Yesterday as I was walking from my car to the lift, one car entered illegally at P4 basement parking (entered thru the exit) right in front a guard. He did nothing and walked passed the car. I stopped him and asked him to do something or at least take note of the number plate so we have record of those who regularly break the rules for future reference. Such acts are dangerous and must be stopped. I only see a few of us parked at P4 follow the rule by entering thru P3. The other 80-90% just go the wrong way all the time.

Mr. B said:-
I couldn't agree more with what you said as I've been a witness of such 'careless attitude' ever since March 2007. Really hope that the guards who happen to be at P4 and witness such act to remind the driver that entering the parking via exit door is simply wrong and dangerous. For us residents to remind each other may be a bit difficult as it could become 'personal' and may be misinterpreted. Having said that, there are also cars from P3 exiting via P3 entrance which is more dangerous. So far, I've experienced nearly 10 incidents since I use P3 entrance to go down to P4 on a daily basis, 2 of them nearly resulted in accident. Something has to be done, and let's not wait until accidents actually happen. May I suggest that we put a notice that if an accident were to happen arising from a vehicle entering/existing the parking lot via the wrong way (either to another vehicle or person), the driver of the vehicle that enters/exits the parking lots via the wrong way shall be responsible and liable to pay for all damages suffered by the driver, passenger(s), the vehicle, the person(s) and common property, under whatever circumstances.

The notice should be put at all levels of parking

Now it will be temporary converted to become a commercial car park to serve the passenger of LRT. The access road to this car park probably will be from LRT side instead of using same entrance of Desa Putra.

What is your opinion on this development?

Sound Proofing of Floors
For renovation work involving the change of floor finishes, the following preventive
measures to protect the original soundproof level in the floor/ceiling slabs and finishes of the
apartment units in the Condominium shall be taken by every parcel owner:-
(a)
The thickness of the concrete floor slabs shall be maintained at its original thickness
of not less than 125 mm thick. This is because thin or porous concrete floor slabs will give
rise to sound transmission from the upper apartment unit to the lower apartment unit.
(b)
Where the existing floor tiles/finishes will be hacked out, the cement screed to receive
the new floor tiles/finishes must be thoroughly mixed with rich cement: sand ratio of at
least 1:3 and a thickness of not less than 50 mm for good bonding of the new floor
tiles/finishes. This is because hollowness or air space between the cement screed and
the floor tiles/finishes due to poor bonding or cement screed shrinkage will give rise to
"echoing effect" sound transmission from the upper apartment unit to the lower
apartment unit.
(c)
Where the existing floor tiles/finishes will not be hacked out, the new floor tiles/finishes
must be properly bonded to the existing floor tiles/finishes with good quality adhesives
without leaving any gaps or air space in between the old floor tiles/finishes and the new
floor tiles/finishes. Similarly, the hollowness or air space between the existing floor
tiles/finishes and the new floor tiles/finishes due to poor bonding will give rise to
"echoing effect" sound transmission from the upper apartment unit to the lower
apartment unit.
(d)
Where there is any sign of hollowness in or likely popping up of the existing floor
tiles/finishes, the existing floor tiles/finishes must be hacked out and the procedures
under paragraphs (a) and (b) above have to be strictly followed. The hollowness or air
space in the existing floor tiles/finishes due to poor bonding or cement screed shrinkage
will give rise to "echoing effect" sound transmission from the upper apartment unit to the
lower apartment unit.
If the renovation work of any parcel owner involving the change of floor finishes is later found
to cause the deterioration of the original soundproof level in the floor/ceiling slabs and finishes
due to not complying fully with the above mentioned preventive measures, the parcel owner
concerned shall carry out all remedial actions necessary to restore the original soundproof
level in the floor/ceiling slabs and finishes to the satisfaction of the Management within thirty
(30) days from the date of notice given by the Management. Otherwise, the Management will
carry out all remedial actions necessary to restore the original soundproof level in the
floor/ceiling slabs and finishes at the cost of the parcel owner concerned. If the said cost
thereof is not settled by the parcel owner concerned within seven (7) days from the completion
of the remedial works, the said cost will become a debt due to the Joint Management Body
and will be charged to the management account of the parcel owner concerned.
Notwithstanding the above, the Joint Management Body also reserves the right to institute
actions for the recovery of the same if it is not settled.
The Management has the right to enter any apartment unit undergoing renovation at anytime
during the prescribed renovation hours to check for compliance of the renovation work with the
29

Kuala Lumpur’s Green Ambitions

2009-05-15T20:31:00.000-07:00

The lack of a single governing authority to oversee the master planning and project implementation for the capital city is causing the city to lose it

by Khalil Adis

The deficiencies in Kuala Lumpur’s rail system are quite apparent. Although Kuala Lumpur’s mass transit system may appear seamless on its map, the reality is quite a different thing altogether. For this writer, commuting by train to get to the heart of the capital likens to being taken for a ride - literally. Imagine alighting from your coach at Bangsar LRT with heavy luggage in tow, only to realise that there are no lifts or escalators. Instead, one needs to take the stairs and carry the luggage up to the station platform.

That’s not all. To get to Bukit Bintang monorail station, one needs to alight at Dang Wangi LRT station, cross a road and then walk a few metres to take the KL Monorail line at Bukit Nanas station. Upon arrival at Bukit Bintang station, one also needs to manoeuvre through the station’s bridge that takes you up and then down to the other platform before arriving at the station’s exit. If that sounds complicated enough from a visitor’s point of view, imagine what locals have to go through on a daily basis, especially with a child’s pram in tow. Perhaps, it is for these reasons, Malaysians prefer commuting to Kuala Lumpur using their own cars.

Wangsa Walk Shopping Mall ready soon

2009-05-14T07:52:00.001-07:00

The shopping mall is about 300 meter away from Desa Putra, once ready we will expect more people will "lepak" here instead other places like carrefour, alpha angle etc.
The anchor tenants are Cold Storage Supermarket (part of Daily Farm International related to the richest chinese in the world) and TGV-Tanjong Golden Village (cinema).
The construction is going on in a very fast pace and expecting to open by July 2009.
This will be the happening place of Wangsa Maju in future.

Vandalism in Desa Putra

2009-05-14T07:33:00.000-07:00

The good and gentle Malaysian/Residents are angry about the rude, naughty and selfish residents. In here, the vandalism were mostly done by children that were left un-attended by parents and some of them are below age of 3. They were left running around and playing in car park, near retention wall, ramp and drive way. They were not only endangered themselves but also other residents here.
When security guard went to confront them and talk to them, most of them do not understand (they know little English or Bahasa Malaysia).
This is a typical example that children throwing coin into the notice board pocket (inside the lift), and when they cannot take out the coin they torn down the whole transparent acrylic. This happened in Block C lift few days ago.

JMC's Chairman Statement

2009-05-04T02:17:00.000-07:00

Dear Owners of Desa Putra

Thank you for your comments here on Eddie’s blog. I would like to take this opportunity to answer some of the points raised and also the suggestions offered.

Firstly, there was a period of 2 months where our budget went into deficit. This was mainly due to the rise in Electrical rates and other expenses necessary for that duration of time ie the increase of security personel for the festive seasons (Christmas-New Year – Chinese New Year) in view of the possibilities that quite a lot of units will be empty due to the long holidays. However, as it is clearly shown (in our new upcoming website), our accounts will indicate that currently, our collection is just sufficient for the expenses allocated not taking into consideration that our collection will not be 100% due some owners who are not paying on time their maintenance fees. So, as a result, we have to be very prudent in our expenditure in order to ensure that sufficient cash is available for the day to day expenses and that no compromise in the quality of service, cleanliness or security happens to our condo.

Having that, please do understand, we on the JMC has a long list of “wish list” for improvement on the condo. However, priority has to be given to those items which are needed urgently. With this in mind, i will then address some of the points raised.

Camera in the lifts – this was proposed but the cost was prohibitive due to the point that, firstly you need to pull the necessary cables for the full length of the lift (you have to provide for the full length from the top floor where the cable originate and then all the way down travel to the lowest (P4) floor – plus then you need to recable from the lift rooms right back all the way to the CCTV room at C block ground floor. The camera itself is cheap – the labour plus the cabling cost is however prohibitive. Wireless system was thought about but this again has consistency and latency problems, additional equipments and is not cheap either. Nevertheless this project is KIV until we have such surplus of funds.

Lift canvass – this was not a delay due to finding the right supplier. The problem was, the cost quoted all the while was in our opinion simply too high. So, we decided and asked BR to try to find a party which can sew the material together and make this tailor made. This was done and we managed to save quite a lot on the actual cost of this.

Boom gates which are bad for image – well i totally agree with you and this is also not a cheap item. We would like to push the developer to change this with some other items as part of our complaints on the property defects but do note this is not a defect per se (considered as wear and tear) but just that the specified and given item do not have the kind of heavy duty performance it requires. With no surplus in mind, we do not wish to spend first on these item unless it is completely damaged. Having said that, BR has been tasked to understudy the requirements for replacements and other such requirements in their review of the maintenance fees and sinking fund charges. With this, we hope to plan and budget and then change it over time as necessary. But it will cost all of us for sure.

Gym and own towels – we agree and this is a normal practise for public gyms. We will instruct BR to look into this and implement and enforce this soonest possible.

Izzynet tower – we are working an arrangement with Izzynet for the broadcasting tower of the internet broadband service for a certain fee to the common funds. BR has been tasked to check and see if these has the required authorisation from the authority for safety and health issues before we proceed to finalise it.

Protecting the Lift with > RM5000

2009-05-01T05:31:00.000-07:00

Since the JMC elected last year, the committee has been discussing on protecting the lift "wall" from being scratch by contractor moving in tools, furniture and etc. After numerous quotation from different suppliers, management final get the approval from JMC to go ahead with this canvas (3 sets for 3 service lifts in DP).
Although it is a bit late but i think it is worthy to spend this money for long term purposes (which definitely will reduce the lift maintenance charges). Currently, the maintenance of lifts is more than RM6000 per month.

Gurkha Security Guard

2009-05-01T05:13:00.000-07:00

From 1st May, 2009, we have contracted DP security job to Squad Security Company which they provide mixture of Gurkha and Nepalese Guard, all the these guards are with military background.
According to earlier newspaper report, we have about 300,000 Nepalese Guard in Malaysia which worried our previous Internal Affairs Minister.
Not sure we should worry or not, as our police force is only about 100,000.

AN illegal telecomunication tower located at the main road in Section 2 Wangsa Maju was brought down by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) yesterday.

The tower, which looks very much like a clock tower, was a cause of concern among residents as they were worried about its effects on health.

I would like to express my gratitude to JMC member for their selfless contribution to our community here. We saw very much improvement from the day they took office (may be even before they took office) and they continued to spend lots of time for the betterment of DP, and most of them are young and top executive of big corporate, they are busy with their careers and businesses.
We hope that all the residents here will give full cooperation to management so that everyone can have a decent place to stay, to live and to relax.
Please drop me an email or e-card (if you wish) to say thank you to them(JMC), I will publish her for you. Thanks. My email : eddiewss@gmail.com

Report from Resident Manager to JMC on Hill Slope Inspection by DBKL Technical Department

2009-04-01T21:39:00.001-07:00

Dear All JMC members & advisor,

The site visit had been conducted by the slope unit today.

The main purpose for the site visit is (1) to provide comment on the water seepage problem which occurred at Level P4 a few months ago; (2) to provide advice on the maintenance of the adjoining slope next to this building; and (3) to look into soil stability test for the slope.

The feed back from the Slope Unit on:-

(1) Water seepage problem at Level P4

According to the officers, the area of the car park at Level P4 where the water seepage once occurred is near to the portion of the original slope that had been cut off during the construction. Thus, the construction of the wall of the car park had cut off at the part of the water table of the original slope. Water from the water table of the slope is at high pressure especially under the floor slab and behind the concrete wall of the Level P4 car park which is near to the earth. Hence, water due to high pressure will find its way through capillaries, crack lines into Level P4 car park.

The advice is that during construction period, the developer should provide for sufficient and proper water pressure protection for these areas to disallow water from seeping through.

We have informed them with regards to the works done by the developer to resolve the problem by means of constructing additional drainage way for water on the floor slab and covering the water seepage area with cement, and thereafter the water seepage problem stops. According to their explanation, the works is considered as fine and effective since the water stops seeping through after they carried out the work. In addition, they noted that no seepage of water from the wall near to the slope and thus, they mentioned that the situation of the seepage problem is fine.

(2) Maintenance of adjoining slope next to the building

According the the officers, the Slope Unit will look into the maintenance issue of slope belonging to the local authority, while for the portion of slope which belongs to the development, the Management will have to look into it. Our request to them is that proper maintenance be carried out for the slope belonging to the local authority. However, we will look into the boundary plan and send them a copy of the same for their record and further action.

On the maintenance of the slope, as the slope facing the building had been granited, they have informed that it is important to ensure that no major cracks occur on the granite which is meant to support the soil. For this purpose, we have to check and remove trees/plants with huge trunks from the granited slope in order not to have cracks caused on the granite due to these big tree trunks, that will lead to soil erosion. However, some vegetation on the slope will be good for the soil of the slope.

The seep holes found on the granited slope allows water to flow out upon reaching certain level of the water table in the slope. The occassion of water flowing out from these holes depend on the volumn of water inside the slope which is related to the duration and volumn of rain water downpour. We have to check externally that the seep holes are not blocked.

(3) Soil stability test

The soil stability test carrid out by the said authority is only for slope belonging to the local authority/government such as forest reserves. They will study and look into the boundary plan of this development for this purpose.

Your kind attention is appreciated.

Thank you.

Feedback from Prasarana on LRT Station

2009-03-24T01:24:00.000-07:00

With regards to bacterium comment on the LRT, please see enclosed attached fax which coincidentally came in the same time from Syarikat Prasarana on this matter among others based our written letter to them much earlier. Therefore we can happily confirm that there will be a direct link up with the LRT station on all parties from the condo JMB to the developer and the owner of the LRT station itself. The JMB shall provide the security and access control, the developer and the owner of the LRT shall provide the pathway to the station itself.

On the matter of security, the management company has been tasked to look into the costing for a high security full height turnstill system to control the access tightly for ingress and egress from the condo to the LRT station. Further to that, a security personnel will be based at the P4 gate to check all persons coming in and out of the turnstill gate to /fro the condo and the LRT station. With this, we hope that the LRT station which is now literally a door away will help to boost the value of the condo even further but also provide an ease of convenience for the residents not found in any other residential development elsewhere in Klang Valley. Further updates will be posted from time to time on this matter as things progress onwards.

Stephen Lim – Chairman JMC
