Giant Pavilion

Kek Loh Si, There is a construction of giant pavilion ongoing. I am so impress with construction of this pavilion.

The giant statute is about 120 feet height. As noted here, it is the tallest in the world. The pillar of pavilion is erected piece by piece with a different texture on each single piece in order sequence.

It is a precast concrete and believe to be cast the core of the column with in situ concrete with reinforcement bar. i am more interested to know the joint detail and how to prevent the seepage of cement lurry from joint and dirty the expose surface.

Oh.. the internal rib textures is for better bonding. i believe it is designed to prevent any rotation of the puzzle and the perimeter edge is in a stagger form to avoid the cement slurry to run off.

Aiya.. wondering is there any photo to show on its foundation. Is it using bored piling system or other alternative? Because it is at the hill side and i am so curious to know about the detail. Hope one day it can be displayed in the National Geography to show how great is this human creature.

Melati Utama, Platinum Victory

Another luxury condominium with affordable price at Setapak Kuala Lumpur. It is allocated at Tmn Melati and connected to MRR 2 express way. In fact, i like those properties which attach to MRR 2. Come on...Friend.., MRR 2 is a Toll FREE express way from Kepong/ Sg Buloh till Sri Petaling. You can never find such a convenient toll free express in Kuala Lumpur city, unless you willing to pay ToLL


Seldom that we found such a long list of facilities provided by the developer. But this project, it has the following,

  • Swimming Pool
  • Children's Wadding Pool
  • Children's Playground
  • Extensive Landscaping
  • Gymnasium
  • Cafeteria
  • Nursery
  • Laundrette
  • Mini Market
  • Tuition/ Reading Room
  • Saloon
  • Multi-Purpose Hall
  • Business Center
  • Car Wash Area
  • Surau
  • House Keeping Services
  • Satellite MATV Ready
  • 24-Hour Security Service


Nowadays, Condominium facilities has upgrading to be like hotel. This condominium looks so grand at the external landscaping. At the first glance, i thought it was a Hotel. If you can enjoy a hotel like facilities, what is the problem to pay monthly maintenance fee. Grand facilities and well maintenance will eliminate the problem of maintenance fee collection.
Go and See.. Value for money? judge yourself. It is selling at RM 200k++ with above 1100 sq ft. Again..This is neither a developer representative nor agent., it is purely for sharing information only.

Modern Parcel Home

In future, house is no longer built by concrete, or those messy structures. It is going to be replace as follow parcel home.Ready made parcel with whatever colour scheme you like. It can be erected in the shortest time. Next time, "move house" will mean to load up the entire container into treler and shift to new place..
With a proper arrangement it can form a community to replace the low rise apartment scheme.



One day, you can even purchase your home through e-commerce or at any shopping outlet like Court Mammoth or IKEA. The parcel will be delivered to the designated location, as it is too convenient and all factory made product.
When New Technology invented, those messy concrete made homes are obsolete.

Do you ever imagine how "Portable" can be a HOME for u?

The Only Leverage

Commonly, when we move in to the new house, we always found some defects all around. This is mainly due to the poor workmanship and bad quality control. Therefore, it need to spend another stack of dollar to repair. Besides costing you additional fund, it also delay and mess up your plan to move in on time.

What is the responsibility of the developer? How can they deliver this kind of shoddy product to us? What is the action we can take on it? Complaint? Usually, verbal complaints will only be fallen into deaf ear. To believe most of the developer (small timer) will not entertain this kind of complaints.

Here, The only leverage and good channel for us to arouse the recalcitrant developer from their sweet dream is to withhold the last 2.5% stakeholder's sum, bear in mind, we are not trying to be nasty. We just want to get what we deserve after payout a junk of dollar into the property. It burst out most of the buyer opinion here.

The following is the useful template (i guess), however, Point that need to be emphasized here is, This piece of template is not from any legal expert. So, "sureboh" doesn't hold responsible for any errors., in case.!

Regardless how, we are still at the losing side, think deeply, we paid 97.5% of the price in advance before we get the KEY (vacant Possession) to walk in and see/ check the house quality... Apparently, What we can do is to HOPE all developers to deliver a good quality product and halt the rampant shoddy work in their development.
