Closure of Dynasty Garden Blog

2011-08-28T11:10:00.003+08:00

Dear all,

The time has come for me to end this blog. It's been a very useful tool for most of DG residents to share information.

I started this blog (and there was a forum back then) in year 2008. I guess the blog and forum has achieved its objective.

The reason of closing the blog is because i will no longer own a unit of Dynasty Garden Condo.

For those who are interested to take over and continue with the blog or other channel of communication including social media, kindly email me at dynastygarden@gmail.com.

thank you,

webmaster

DGJMB - Dynasty Garden Joint Management Body

2011-02-22T09:40:00.003+08:00

Ever since the new DGJMB took over the management of the property, there has been a mixed reactions from the residents.

No doubt by having DGJMB, the residents pool of money is protected as majority of the committee members are the house owner themselves.

However, does the committee members able and competent enough to manage the building?

The committee have tried to improve communication with the residents by replying them at the blog, which is a good move. But how about day to day management of the property on security, cleanliness, facilities, defects, etc?

The webmaster has sent email to the DGJMB about their plans but unfortunately no reply from them. Are they solving a problem one thing at a time only?

2011-01-15T12:29:00.002+08:00

Dear all residents,

Recently a resident of DG Condo, nicknamed NTC2000 has his flexible hose burst. Water spread all over his house and damaged the floor and many other things as you can see in the photos and email below by him.

And our JMB committee is assisting him to make insurance claim because our insurance is also covering Extraneous Perils. En Akmal from JMB has gone to his house to take some photos on the 10th Jan 2011.

Let's see how's the result. Whatever the result is, we appreciate the effort by the JMB. Keep up the good work!

Beware on DG water piping(flexible hose)

just send u this to keep everyone alert... Beware on the flexible hose for water sink. Developer use made in china cheap flexible host which can easily burst. I was outstation last weekend, and when coming back from hometown, all my house get flooded. Parquet floor, wood skirting all swollen alr. Living room, medium bedroom and master bedroom all affected. Furniture also swollen alr.

As i know not only my unit happen, my colleague in 6th floor also happen before.

I try to seek help from management whether can claim from developer/fire insurance, but they said already after 2 year, no more warranty... Next time going to think twice before but akisama property, too many low quality material .... window handle, low quality paint, door lock, hollow tiles... now is piping which cause a most damage on my unit...

need to change all the parquet and skirting... furniture, laptop, router, all kena.

thank you

NTC2000

Meeting with JMB

2010-12-07T18:10:00.000+08:00

MB invite all residents to attend meeting on 18/12/2010 to explain why they want to increase maintenace & sinking fund.

Make sure all 600 units residents attend the meeting, COMPULSORY, those who do not attend mean they agreed with the chairman to increase maintenance charges and sinking fund.

Other condo which have only 300 units do not increase any maintenance charge and sinking fund. We double of the money (600 units) still not enough, why? shame.

Why short of cleaner, is it no fund collected.

Collection of fund are :
1) Maintenance charges fund,
2) Sinking Fund,
3) Thirty units Vistors car park rental,
4) Canteen rental, Saloon rental, Dobi rental, Grocery Shop rental and etc.
Where is all this money collected?

Kadyn Plus Sdn Bhd ALARM

2010-10-31T19:44:00.001+08:00

The alarm of this shop Kadyn Plus Sdn Bhd located at the row of shophouses facing DG has been triggered regularly.
Apparently this alarm doesn't alert the owner via mobile messages as the alarm would go off the whole night or throughout the weekends; until the workers come to open the shop.
This has become very annoying and I'm very much sure it disturbs most of the residence of DG who are facing KL too.
Perhaps if you could put a post on the blog, we could get some view from the other residences.

For now, I'm planning to lodge a complain to the management/JMB and see if we could issue a letter to the shop owner to voice our predicament.

Here are the full details of the shop.

Many thanks.

Security Guard - Lack Courtesy

2010-10-26T15:16:00.000+08:00

hi, my girl friend is resident of Dynasty Garden Condo. Yesterday morning (25-Oct) I visited my girl friend and wanted to move some small furniture from her house with my car. I drove to the guard house and asked for permission to go in temporarily to pick up the furniture. Unfortunately, there was a security officer shouted at me rudely after I stated my request,"No! You don't have access card, PARK OUTSIDE!" I patiently try to explain, i just want to drive in temporaryly to pick up the furniture from the lift hall. I know i can do that by registering my car with my driving license. But the security officer shouted again,"No! Cannot! Park Outside!"

His crude attitude provoked me. However, I don't want to further argue with him. I parked my car outside and walked a few times to move out the furniture. I have asked his name to bring this issue to the management office. What kind of attitude he has as the security officer which is the first guy facing all our friends and relatives of resident? I think they will turn they happiness of visiting to angry when they get this kind of respond like me. The security officer challenged me to complain to management office and said his name is Naga. I came back to Penang yesterday and asking my girl friend get the management office contact for me. All the while I don't have any issue with the foreigner security as they are friendly and helpful. We are paying money to get the service but not to hire a ruthless security acting rude to the visitors. I hope the management office can look into this issue seriously, not to spoil the reputation of the condo and the management office.

Price Increase or Decrease?

2010-09-10T11:06:00.004+08:00

I received many questions from many owners of Dynasty Garden Condo whether the price of their property will increase or decrease when the opposite land to be developed by a company called Nusmetro starts their project.

Let me analyse it ....

1. Price of property in Klang Valley is getting more expensive due to price increase of construction materials. This we read in the newspaper almost everyday.

2. Price of property within 10km from the KL city is getting more and more expensive. Basically, there are not much land left. Even if there's land, developer tend to develop high end property for better profit margin. Dynasty Garden is within this radius.

3. Napic (National Property Information Centre) is reporting that the average residential price in KL is RM485,435 in the first half of the year, up from RM362,569 last year. This is a jump of 34%.

4. The government intends to imposed higher LVR (loan to value ratio), i.e. instead of loan of 90%, only 80% maximum. The balance 20% have to come out from your pocket. In other words, it will be more difficult to buy a house in the future than the current situation unless you have good cash flow.

5. Let's be layman. Assuming you have a terrace house and opposite your house is an empty land. Someone came and build a semi-D. Once they semi-D completed, will your property be cheaper or more expensive?

Some property agents are saying quickly sell DG or else the price will come down due to the opposite project. Question is, what is the basis that the price will drop?

The developer is targetting to sell at RM400/ft2 and above. That's more than 30% higher than DG price per sqft. So again, in what basis DG price will drop?
The cars cant park along the road to our property. That will be excellent. Then everyone must get additional car park or those with extra car parks can rent out. Rental can increase.

The only reason why the property agents are saying it will drop is because they want to make a quick sell.

G Residence at Happy Garden launched their first 2 blocks around RM300-350 persqft. Now their 3rd block is selling at RM350-390 per sqft. 95% of their units are sold.

See Hoy Chan is having some land next to it and news in the market is saying that they intend to launch at RM400-450 per sqft.

Last but not least, if you still cant think whether DG price will increase or decrease, go ahead and listen to those agents. Go and sell your property. And then, ask yourself, where can you get another property within this close range to KL, PJ, Bangsar, Federal Highway, Plus Highway at the price you are selling?

Do let us know if you know any. Chances are u will find somewhere within 20km radius from KL city.

And ya, thank your brilliant property agent for that.

Residents angry over proposal to build condos
By BAVANI M
bavanim@thestar.com.my

THE residents and business community of Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park in Jalan Kelang Lama, Kuala Lumpur, especially those living and working in Jalan 11/116C, are up in arms over a development proposal that would increase the population density in the area.

The proposed two blocks of luxury condominiums, which will be 23 and 25 storeys, will increase the population density from 60 per acre to 400 per acre.

They are puzzled as to why the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is allowing such a proposal to go through in a township that is already bursting at the seams with overdevelopment.

“It is so congested that any new development in the area is going to affect the quality of life of the residents,’’ said Loke Chee Seng a resident of Dynasty Garden.

Dynasty Garden is made up of two blocks of condominium with 600 units.

Loke said the location was no longer a conducive place to live in with problems like traffic congestion, noise and air pollution already prevalent in the busy area.

“It’s going to get worse and a lot more problems are going to crop up,’’ he said.

Dynasty Garden management personnel Lim Keh Chwee said: “Many of the owners here (Dynasty Garden) bought a unit on the belief that the said land, (where the proposed development is going to be) was going to remain a green area.

“No one knew anything about the project until the signboard went up.

“If it goes through, the buildings are going to block everyone’s view,’’ he said.

Another resident, who only wished to be identified as Yoong, said on Mondays and Wednesdays -- the traffic situation was critical due the night market.

“I want DBKL to come and see the circus and judge for themselves,’’ she said.

Meanwhile, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok who also lives in Dynasty Garden questioned DBKL’s way of approving projects without looking at the plot ratio and controlling the height of buildings in the city.

“People who live in Happy Garden, Sri Petaling and Taman OUG use the Kuchai Entreprenuers Park’s main road to go to the city.

“This is a busy township and traffic is going to get worse if the project is approved,’’ she said.

Kok added that the residents had initiated a signature campaign to object against the project.

The deadline for them to make their objections is May 13.

Notice on Closure of DG Blog

2009-07-08T10:08:00.002+08:00

It's been awhile since the last i wrote in the DG Blog. I must admit that despite the effort taken to make sure it stays alive as long as it could, the blog has finally come to an end.

I would like to thank for those who has given their support, even though it's only a 'silent' support. I have been extremely busy and unable to cope with my personal and work schedule. I feel there's no point continuing with the blog unless i can update it regularly. For the last 2 months, i have been in and out of the country on every week and there's no way i can find time to maintain the blog.

I will however maintain the forum and monitor it closely. By the way, our forum has been attacked by one person called muzaraff and spam us with advertisement. I have banned him/her and it's keep on attacking. Really appreciate any of the IT expert to give some advice.

Till then, take care.

Keep the faith.

Thanks,

DBKL - Increase in Assessment (Updated)

2009-04-23T08:10:00.007+08:00

DBKL has recently sent a letter to increase DG assessment rate to 6%. For instance, for a 1120 sqft will have to pay RM576. Isn't that high for a condo? At bad times like this, instead of lessen the burden of rakyat, they make our life more difficult.

Besides, has DBKL done a good job in Kuchai Lama?

Click HERE to discuss further.

p/s : Letter of Appeal will be posted in the Blog soon.

******
Sample letter of appeal :

Kepada Datuk Bandar, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur

Per : Pindaan Senarai Nilaian

Dengan segala hormatnya, merujuk kepada perkara di atas, saya sebagai penghuni Kondominium Taman Dinasti (Dynasty Garden Condominium) ingin membuat bantahan terhadap pindaan senarai nilaian yang dicadangkan oleh DBKL.

Saya merasakan kadar 6% yang dikenakan oleh pihak tuan adalah terlampau tinggi dan membebankan rakyat pada masa ini di mana dunia mengalamai kagawatan ekonomi. Antara sebab-sebab terhadap bantahan terhadap pindaan senarai nilaian adalah sebagai di bawah :

i) lokasi kondominium taman dinasti berdekatan dengan pelbagai lebuhraya bertol, seperti Kerinchi Link, Smart Tunnel, NPE, PLUS dan sebagainya. Kami penduduk terpaksa mengeluarkan belanja lebih untuk kos pengangkutan.

ii) sebagai penghuni, kami bukan sahaja terpaksa membayar cukai tanah dan cukai pintu, tetapi perlu juga membayar 'maitenance fee' dan 'sinking fund'. Kami sebagai penghuni telah dibebankan dengan pelbagai bayaran kepada banyak pihak.

iii) terdapat 600 unit rumah di dalam projek kami. Sekiranya purata seunit rumah dikenakan RM700, bermaksud DBKL memungut RM420,000 dari Kondo Taman Dinasti sahaja. Ini merupakan jumlah yang amat besar.

iv) memandangkan persekitaran kawasan kuchai lama telah dibangunkan dan mempunyai kepadatan yang tinggi (high plot ratio), ini bermaksud DBKL memperoleh pungutan cukai yang tinggi. Perlu diingatkan bahawa masih terdapat beberapa buah kondominium sedang dalam pembinaan di dalam kawasan ini. Oleh kerana itu, DBKL akan mempunyai pungutan cukai yang banyak sekiranya semua ini diambil kira.

v) memandangkan kebanyakan jalan raya menuju ke kawasan kami adalah lebuhraya swasta, kos untuk DBKL menyenggalara jalan adala minimum. oleh yang demikian, DBKL tidak patu mengenakan kadar yang tinggi.

vi) Sepatutnya, DBKL mengenakan cukai yang rendah terhadap kami. Kebiasaannya, untuk rumah teres, pungutan sampah perlu dibuat dari satu rumah ke satu rumah dan memakan masa yang tinggi di samping mencemarkan kawasan sekitar semasa membuat pungutan sampah. Untuk kondo kami, terdapat tong sampah yang disediakan pada kedudukan tertentuk (centralised) di mana semua sampah dari semua unit dipungut dan diletakkan di situ. Oleh yang demikian, ini memudahkan kerja Alam Flora di mana memerlukan kurang kakitangan dan menggunakan masa yang singkat.

vii) Memandangkan kondo kami adalah jenis berpagar dan berpengawal (gated and guarded), maka semua lampu jalan adalah di dalam kawasan kami. Bayaran bil lampu jalan dilaksanakan oleh pengurusan kondo melalui maintenance bill bulanan terhadap penghuni.

viii) Kondo kami mempunyai kawasan hijau yang besar dan cantik tetapi diuruskan oleh pengurusan kondo dan segala kos penyenggalaraan adalah dibayar oleh penghuni melalui monthly maitenance bill. Oleh yang demikian, DBKL tidak perlu menampung kos yang besar untuk penyenggalaraan pokok-pokok di sekitar.

vix) Kawasan di sekitar kondo kami telah dipasang dengan sistem kutipan letak kereta. Ini merupakan satu lagi sumber wang untuk DBKL. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab yang meletakkan bas-bas di jalan masuk ke kondo kami. Pihak kami telahpun membuat aduan kepada DBKL tetapi masih lagi tiada sebarang tindakan diambil oleh DBKL.

vx) Memandangkan kondo kami mempunyai peraturan yang ketat iaitu tidak dibenarkan mempunyai haiwan peliharaan seperti anjing, ayam dan sebagainya, maka, tidak ada risiko haiwan ini terbiar di jalan raya dan menjadi haiwan liar yang perlu dilupuskan oleh pihak DBKL. Ini merupakan penjimatan kos oleh DBKL.

Sebagai kesimpulan, kami merayu kepada pihak DBKL untuk mempertimbangkan semula kadar pindaan senarai nilaian yang ingin dikenakan. Pihak kami berbesar hati sekiranya DBKL prihatin terhadap cabaran yang dihadapi kami sebagai penduduk dan rakyat ibukota yang memerlukan kos yang tinggi.

Segala kerjasama dan pertimbangan dari pihak tuan didahului dengan ribuan terima kasih.

Sekian,

Convenience Shop

2009-04-17T23:38:00.002+08:00

For the benefits of outsiders who don't stay at Dynasty Garden Condo, and want to know more facilities of the condo, I'll feature those facilities from time to time. However, as i've featured almost all of the facilities and write almost everything about the condo, i've run out of topics. Ha...ha....

To make things more difficult, residents are not happy if i were to post something negative on the Blog. They prefer it to be discussed on the forum. In that case, what should i do with the Blog?

I've been asking many people to contribute their articles to the Blog but i received only 2 so far. This is a serious case. Personally, i dont like to keep the Blog and yet no update. That's worse than not having a Blog. It shows lack of enthusiasm and passion. Should i just maintain the forum, minus the Blog? If i were to maintain the Blog, what should i write about?

Please tell me your opinion on this.

As for the convenience shop at our DG, please support them by buying their stuff. After all, it's for our convenient.

200 Members

2009-04-17T19:10:00.003+08:00

Our Forum section has managed to reach 200 members, approximately 15 months after its launching. The Forum section is still alive and kicking, where members kick the developer, members kick members and the latest one, members kick the Webmaster.

No matter who being kicked, thank you for your support. Keep on kicking. Your kick is my pleasure.

Commercial Area - It's a convenience or a nuisance?

2009-04-12T01:22:00.000+08:00

Name it and you will find one. Food, stationery, hardware, banks, bakery, cafes and many more. It's not dificult to find - they are all available at the Kuchai Entrepreneur Park, situated next to Dynasty Garden Condominium.

Some of the residents are happy that these shops are within walking distance from their property and it is so convenient especially for those working couple who has no time to prepare dinner as there are plenty of shops selling food. On the other hand, there are some complaints that these shops caused congestion.

Whatever the reasons are, the shops will always be there and like it or not, most of us will patronise these shops every other time.

Incident at the Guardhouse

2009-04-08T08:21:00.001+08:00

Well my fellow residents, I wasn't at the scene but let me enlighten you with the best I can of what I heard about the incident.

The argument may be due to the black Toyota Avanza (still seen parked close to our exit as at 05/04/2009) bearing the registration number from Johor Bahru as a few chaps that involved in the argument keep pointing at that vehicle. I assume it was about some damage done to the vehicle.

An argument ensued and shouts heard. Two of the chaps acted rough on one of the Indian guard. One chap in white shirt grabbed the Indian guard by the neck and another chap in sky blue shirt threw a few punches on the Indian guard.

The Indian guard and another guard retaliated by charging and hit the two chaps with a stick. The two chaps backed off. A moment later the chap in sky blue shirt went into one of his gang's car and took a stering lock to return the attack but realising his stick was too short compared to the guards, he threw it on the floor and instead went into the same car and drove in quick speed acting as if to knock the Indian guard. The Indian guard again retaliated by hitting the windscreen of that car. It didn't smashed the windscreen but it left two big crack on it.

At this moment, someone from the management office finally came to cool the situation. The hero seems to be Shashi (I hope I got the spelling right). Shashi took some pictures and the chap in sky blue shirt seen showing his aching arm and the broken windscreen to Shashi as if the guards are treating them roughly.

Kuchai Avenue Blog

Another project of Akisama, Kuchai Avenue Service Apartment which is also located at Kuchai Lama has it's own blog - http://kuchaiavenue.blogspot.com.

The blog also uses blogspot - a popular blog platform by google - free and reliable.

Unlike DG Blog which has a dedicated forum, they focus on the chatbox, which is very active at the moment.

In appreciation of the blog to list Dynasty Garden Blog in its Blogroll, we will also do the same.

We wish Kuchai Avenue Blog all the best, and may the residents make good use of the blog as much as we do over in Dynasty Garden.

Connaught Avenue - Another Project by Akisama

2009-03-27T19:04:00.005+08:00

Artist's impression on Connaught Avenue

Location map of Connaught Avenue

Connought Avenue - This is another project by Akisama, the same developer that did Dynasty Garden Condominium and Kuchai Avenue Service Apartment.

Price starts from RM180,500 with built up of 950 sqft. Having 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms, i think the concept is not much different from Kuchai Avenue. Elevated park with swimming pool is synonymous with the previous development of theirs. So you can also expect good security and maintenance i pressume.

As for location, it's a mix of opinion. Some says the 200m distance from future LRT is a good investment while others don't really prefer (prejudice?) Cheras. Whatever the reason is, the news is that the first of the 2 blocks service apartments has been fully booked.

For me, it's more for investment rather than own stay. But then again, what sort of return are we talking about? Will it reach as high return as in Dynasty Garden? Can it reach between 30-40% return?

For more info, please visit Akisama website here.

Income Tax Month

2009-03-21T21:37:00.003+08:00

Don't forget to submit your income tax form. The due is 30th April 2009. Be a good citizen. Forget about being 1st or 2nd class citizen. You can visit IRB website to download the form or to make life easy, just submit your form online via e-filing.

By the way, some said 90% of tax payers are Chinese. Is that true? Duh...

Parking Outside - Is it worth to save RM3 per day?

2009-03-15T03:11:00.001+08:00

Row of cars parking outside DG compound.

Annoying busses parked along DG compound.

How safe is to park your car outside the compound of DG condo? Or rather, how dangerous is to park your car outside the compound of DG condo?

Well, as far as DG Blog is concerned, there has been no cases of theft yet BUT there have been cases where the car window was broken and the belongings inside the car was taken away. But then again, why risk and expose oneself to such crime waiting to happen?

Most residents who parked outside obviously has more cars than car park to accomodate all of them. So the cheapest way is to park outside. Setback? Risk to theft, rain, hot sun, far walking distance, not be able to find a space, etc. Rental of the car park is generally low. The so called in house agent for instance rent out each car park for RM100 per month. That's like RM3 per day for a covered car park with cctv security and card access system. So guys, for those who park outside, please think again. Is it worth to save RM3 per day?

Gymnasium - How Often Do You exercise?

2009-03-08T02:28:00.000+08:00

One of the residents is running on the treadmill in the gymnasium.

The park is also a popular place for residents to jog or walk.

Typical Malaysian will always find reasons not to exercise. Blame it on the small gym is one of the easier way to lie to oneself. The fact is that the gym is hardly utilise by the residents.

No doubt the gym equipment is not as comprehensive as California Wow or Fitness First, but there are basic equipment for residents to use. Perhaps the reason is because DG gym has no muscular men or fit and slim ladies? Those uncles and aunties also need to exercise, can't stop them. We are all DG family.

Assessment and Quit Rent

2009-03-03T01:38:00.000+08:00

Assessment and Quit Rent (cukai pintu and cukai tanah) bills have been issued by the management. Suggest all the owners to check their letter box and pay on time.

Read HERE for further details.

Letter Box - How to get rid of junkmail?

2009-03-01T01:41:00.000+08:00

Letter box area - notice the junk mails have been thrown to the floor.

No one can deny the fact that it is annoying to see those junk mails in the letter box. How can one overcome this? Short term solution is to throw it to the floor because the cleaner will clean it the next day. Is that so? Come on guys, we are civilised residents and we don't do that. Please throw it at the litter bin.

But then again, how on earth the junk mails end up at our letter box? Is it done by Mr Postman? Definitely not. As a matter of fact, the maintenance staff have been distributing our letters to each letter box, the job which supposed to be done by Pos Malaysia postman. Talking about Malaysia Boleh attitude!

So who is the culprit that put all these junk mails into our letter box and who allow them to enter DG? Why does management allow them to enter and distribute junk mails? There's a cctv and it's so easy to catch the culprit. Why no action taken? Is someone getting commission? Smell fishy here.

By the way, who is the manager of the management office? Please, we want to hear from you.

Rooftop

2009-02-22T02:15:00.000+08:00

View from the rooftop overlooking kl city.

Part of the structure at the rooftop. Wonder what is the architect is trying to proof here?

View from the rooftop facing Bukit Jalil.

Party at the rooftop anyone? Dream on. The management will never allow this. As a matter of fact, the access to the rooftop has been locked. This is a standard practice at any other condos too for security reason.

To view KL city from the rooftop was such a great experience as one could see all the prominent buildings such as the twin towers, times square, kl tower and many others. It was also windy and basically you could view many parts of the klang valley from PJ to Bukit Jalil.

Does anyone knows what is the intention of the management on the rooftop?

Forum Down

Dynasty Garden - Security Standard Better Than Other Condos

2009-02-14T02:54:00.000+08:00

DG security guards always greet residents when coming in and going out from the condo.

The guardhouse is equipped with high tech cctv equipment.

Every lift is equipped with cctv and linked directly to the guardhouse and maintenance office.

More than 200 cameras were installed at the car park, every floor of common corridor and strategic points.

When asked, majority of the residents of Dynasty Garden Condominium is satisfied and happy with the security services provided. This statement is very true because in general, the performance of the security guards are much better than other condos of the same range in the Klang Valley.

A couple, when interviewed at the swimming pool informed the DG Blog that when they bought Dynasty Garden condo in year 2005, they hope the security and maintenance will be as good as Akisama's previous project - the Continental Heights. Their worry was that the Continental Heights were sold at much more expensive than Dynasty Garden and therefore, the standard of security and maintenance will be different. However, now that the project has been completed and residents have been staying there for about half a year, it is without a doubt that the standard of security in Dynasty Garden is as good as Continental Heights.

The security guard attire in white looks pleasant and clean. And these guards are strict too - even owners are not allowed to enter the condo unless they can show the access card. And those without access cards are required to register at the guardhouse and have to wear a tag. According to the maintenance office, there are more than 200 cameras installed all over the condo. Cameras were installed at car park area, inside every lift, every floor of the common corridor and all the strategic points. Up to date, there's not a single case of break in.

Of course, no security in any condos is perfect or else it will become a jail. There are some residents who are not comfortable as the DG guards are mainly foreigners and their limitation of communication. However, on the other hand, some residents feel more comfortable as these foreign guards are more alert an do their work with much commitment and responsibility.

Residents are advised not to take security issue for granted. There are occassion that gated and guarded development in the Klang Valley reported to have cases of robbery and break in. It's good if the residents can look after on one another. So know your neighbour and inform them that we are all concern about security matters.

Another Case of Car Painting Damaged

2009-02-06T23:33:00.003+08:00

I got the same problem as your wife approached, at first shasi personally there to inspect the cause & my car. Lucky i had taken the picture, and the next day i called up Mr Lim how they going to compensate back the loss to me, because i try to go washing & wax also cannot remove it. And Mr lim asked me to give him the photo & he will pass it to main-con to claim back the money.

Every week i will call Mr lim once to check on my claim status, the bill cost me RM399 for fully wax & polish for twice. And then he ask me to call main-con mr low to follow up, he told me that he just a middle man only, not under management responsible. I was wonder that time, if this is not the management responsible, then who else??? Developer?? After few days later, i try to call Mr Low and follow up on my compensation, but he always said he is busy and ask me to look for Yong.

I think i had been follow up with with them close to 1 1/2 months, & i called Mr Lim again, he try to scare me away, he said my Low told him i'm very irritated him (come on, i just called him once a week, not everyday), and I'm very demanding. (Walow, Am i?? I just chasing back my lost to them) And Mr Lim give me an example, because i'm a banker he said if let say my customer don accept my offer, what i'm going to convince my customer?? Lowest the package right??? Then he ask me to lowest my bill to certain amount & discuss with Mr Low again, because they said the bill too expensive already. For me, i don care whether is cheap or expensive, i just want my car turn back to originally. I ask mr lim opinion can i complain to Akisama ?? he said better don because they will not entertain it.

Fine, I wait till the week of before new year, Mr Low always said busy, I told myself i cant tolerate them anymore, i called up Akisama, look for Manager & told him the whole incident. He said how come they not follow up, when i put down the called, i sms to Mr Low, and told him that i have already complaint up to Akisama Office, if you still not settle to me, they will take action already. after 5 minutes, Mr Yong call me ask me where he should pass me the money. (see now only efficient)

But They still not willing to pay me the full amount, ask me to give discount, at the end i got back RM300 at least better than nothing. Somemore, i still need to listen the nonsense from Mr Yong said Y so expensive la, the stain so easy to remove... (Bullshit)

I think next time anything also we complain to Akisama there, they will be more efficient to carry their responsible ....

Photos of the car painting damaged by contractor

I have fill up a form and submit to management office. Complaint about my wife car dirtied by the contractor who paint the steel bar in the parking lot. The silver steel paint was fall all over my wife car and it's can be seen clearly. I try to wash and polish with normal polishing kits, but it's cant remove it strain.

9 Jan 2009:
My wife trying to talk with DG manager Mr Lxx, and this fella was f***** rude and try to raise his voice to frighten my wife by telling her it is not DG management responsible. My wife was dam pissed and fail to talk with him since he keep on saying not their responsible and there is not contractor painting near the parking lot. My wife call me up and I straight away go to management office, and once I reach the office, this m********* hiding somewhere else and dont dare to see me.

I talk peacefully with sahsi and ask his help me to raise another log and bring him along to my wife parking lot and take the picture as evident. He took picture on my wife car which dirtied by those steel pain and those silver paint mark which fall on the parking floor. Sahsi was calling the contractor and figure out actually there is painting job being done before... And I was requesting them bare the cost for removing the strains (either polishing or repaint). I told him i will try to get some auto detailing opinion whether it's can be clean it or not. I need them to confirm with my wife whether management gonna bare this cost or not ASAP.

New Roof at the Entrance - Thanks Akisama!

2009-02-01T00:01:00.011+08:00

Newly installed polycarbonate roof at the entrance.

The roof span right to the drop off area.

The developer of the project has taken the effort to install polycarbonate roof at the entrance next to the guardhouse right to the drop off area. Before this, whenever it rains, it will be a nuisance to the residents when flashing their entrance card or at dropping off passenger at the drop off area. Now this matter has been resolved when the roof has been installed. It's kind of silly not to have this roof from the beginning of the project but what the heck.... it's better late than never.

The developer is not all bad after all. They do listen, after all. So what we residents should learn from this? We should thank the developer and at the same time continue to complain, ask, report, etc... so that DG will keep on improving.

DG Blog Turns 1 Year

2009-01-27T00:01:00.010+08:00

One year ago, the Blog and Forum for Dynasty Garden Condominium were created.

I have to admit that the inspiration of doing this blog comes from usj.com.my, an award winning website created for the usj community. The difference is that the DG blog and forum comes in a much smaller scale and rides on free hosting as I don't believe in selling advertisement via the blog. Not that i am anti-capitalist but i just want to maintain its independence. Imagine if a real estate agent adverstise through the blog and he/she is unscrupulous? Isn't that bad for the blog?

On its first month, there were 15 registered members. This is quite an 'achievement' as you all may know, the construction of the condo was still in progress and none of us buyers have met each other at that time. The blog and forum were launched in January 2008 while the key collection was done in October 2008. By the time we collected key, we already have more than 100 members and 1000 posts for the forum.

There was a suggestion to register the blog and forum to get a proper domain and hosting rather than using free blog via blogspot and makeforum. This idea is not being rejected but due to limited financial support, it's being kept in view for the moment. I do agree having a registerd domain will look more presentable, but i also believe that the content and value of the site is more important than its name.

I would like to emphasize here that neither the Webmaster, its DG Blog Team members are the 'leader' or the 'representative' of the DG community. Members have high expectation that we are responsbile to represent them. The objective of the blog and forum is to unite the DG residents/buyers beside as a tool of communication. We collect information and post it on the blog or the members can post it on the forum. That's what we do. We make a place for people to communicate. We collect information and let members know. That's what we do. We don't stop residents if any of them would like to be the 'representative' for the community and will always give our full support.

Throughout the one year, i must say thank you to all the members for supporting the blog and forum. There were so many contributions in many forms. Some sent photos, graphics, information, articles and of course, non-stop ideas and suggestions. Besides that, i must say thank you to some of you who have helped in technical support during the time the blog and forum had some technical problem and whenever need something to fix. This is solely due to the reason that i am not from the IT background and my knowledge in IT is limited but doing my best about it. I shall not mentioned who are the ones who has contributed and helped as you know who you are and this appreciation comes sincerely.

I believe the blog and forum has met its objective very well and been able to serve as a platform of communication among members. It's a surprise that when checked via the sitemeter, members (repeatedly) visited the site from many parts of the world, i.e. Singapore, Vietnam, Australia, China, Egypt, United States and of course East and West Malaysia. This means members wanted to know about the status of DG even when they are overseas and managed to do it through the blog and forum.

Well, one year is a small figure and there are many more years to go and many more improvement to be done. Without members support, the blog and forum won't be where it is today. Thank you and keep on supporting DG blog and forum.

The Webmaster

No More Airing Clean Laundry

2008-12-03T09:26:00.001+08:00

Now.. not only management dont allow us to bask clothes at the balcony... Effective from next year.. government also don't allow... read The Star Paper..

Multilevel residences: No more airing ‘clean laundry’
By MAZWIN NIK ANIS

PUTRAJAYA: Those living in multilevel residences will no longer be allowed to dry their clothes in the open “where the whole world can see,” effective next year.

This follows a government decision to tackle the eye-sore problem once and for all, and to clean up the image of Malaysian cities by coming up with a guideline for both developers and residents of such buildings.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said a guideline should be in place so that developers would be made responsible for preparing a special area or the proper facilities in its properties for drying clothes.

“We can see today that most people living in multilevel residences like flats, apartments and condominiums dry their clothes in the open. It is unsystematic and affects our efforts to portray a modern image for Malaysian cities.

“For the moment, we will have a guideline so that necessary action can be taken by parties concerned, including residents to have proper equipment and facilities so they need not expose their laundry,” he said after chairing the National Council on Local Government meeting on Tuesday.

The Deputy Prime Minister however said there was nothing punitive about the guideline as the aim was to encourage the public to be more sensitive about the issue.

“For the time being, it is more on making the moral switch. It it does not work, then we have to consider amending existing laws,” he said, adding a circular would be issued by the ministry next year to inform local authorities of the decision.

Najib said it would be the duty of local authorities and the Commissioner of Buildings to inform developers and managements of flats, apartments and condominiums to see to it that the guideline was followed.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HACK THE WALL TO HIDE AIRCOND TRUNKING

2008-11-26T00:17:00.002+08:00

Latest news for those who has spent money hacking the wall to hide aircond trunking . They are now going unit to unit to check if you have hack the wall. If you have, you would have to bring it back out to its original plc and buy a special sealant from the developer to seal back the hole. I AM NOT KIDDING. The notice is already in the lift. And the architect has lodged a police report to save his own ass should anything happened to the building. So if you are planning to hack the wall, u better NOT cos it is gonna cost you a lot to bring the trunking out again. THIS IS SERIOUS !!!

Email from Member - Know Your Real Estate Agent (Don't be conned)

2008-10-31T23:18:00.003+08:00

It is a norm that once a building has been completed and the buyers collected the key, many real estate agents will be waiting in line to offer their service. No doubt real estate agents are helpful and their intention is good. As a matter of fact, majority of the real estate agents are there to earn a living and at the same time offering their service to assist the house buyer either to look for tenant or to sell their property. It also works the other way around, where they help the tenants or prospective buyers to look for property. Basically real estate agents are like matchmaker. They help to match make both parties, but of course, with a little fee.

I think it is a common sense to know whether a real estate agent is good or bad. I'm sure many of us here have experience with them. Some are pro active, helpful and honest. Unfortunately, there are also some of them which give a bad name to the industry.

A friend of mine for instance have this real estate agent who help them to inspect their defect on the key collection day. The agent came with a masking tape and will mark the defect with the tape and draw an arrow on it. This is so that the developer will know the location of the defect. The agent also brought a torch light with her. Imagine such initiative and effort? It's truly amazing.

Another scenario is a friend who happen to engage a real estate agent which he regretted all his life. He intended to rent out the unit as he is comfortable living at another place. So the agent managed to look for a tenant for him. The tenant happen to be a company which will let their workers staying there. So both sides sign the agreement and money deposited. On the key handing over period, then he realized that the 'workers' of the company is a group of people from a particular county which he is not in favour to rent. Well, this may sound racist, but everyone has their own preferences and it happened that this friend of mine was really unhappy about this. Should he cancel the agreement, he has to pay penalty of the 2 months deposit to the tenant. Now he is regretting every moment.

So don't believe everthing you hear. Sometimes sales talk is like a wonderbra, it push you up so high that you thought you are on top of the world. What we want from the real estate agent is honesty. I'm sure majority of the real estate agents are honest people who wants to earn a living, it is just a few of them who tarnish their image.

The email is sent by our member zitromax. Members of the DG blog / forum are welcomed to send their email to dynastygarden@gmail.com.

Post of The Month - Know Your Tenant! (Don't be conned)

2008-10-28T07:54:00.008+08:00

Hi All,

Recently i was approach by an agent with regards to renting out to expatriates, and it was on contract basis, dealing with the company itself. The company is S***** which mainly deals with customer service telephone agent (call center), it has an office in KL and serve mainly country like India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Philippine... Because of their cheap labor and also language barrier, therefore they are employed to work based in Malaysia. Therefore, in correct term, they are also considered expatriates. Do you know that even Bangladeshi site worker is also considered an expatriate? In correct definition expatriate and foreign worker are same meaning.

The company is looking for renting in Dynasty all together 40 units. By renting to them, we ourselves undermined our own property value. Now you might get the rental, how about the future when you want to sell the property? Dynasty Garden is supposed to be all about family concept living harmoniously, so please choose your tenant carefully so that in future if you want to take it back for own stay or selling, you can ensure a peace of mind. Imagine Dynasty is roaching with all these people all around you...

And most importantly, my 2 friends, ex-employees from S****** (I met them in separately, all of them told me same stuff) - According to what they told me, it seems that S*****has a reputation not paying its employee salary on time and cheated their EPF and gave empty promises on paying them! Most of them left company frustruated after waiting for their righful salary to be paid to them after listening to empty promise. Imagine if you rent to them, how sure are you that you'll get your monthly rental on time? How sure are you that your utility bills is paid on time? Is your deposit enough to cover the sweet empty promise time period? Will you have a piece of mind... now and future?

What kind of expatriate that only suffice with basic installation i.e. lightings and air cond without furnish? You can think for yourself. So before TOO LATE, please act wisely for your own sake and everyone sake, NOW and FUTURE

I support Grace on strictly renting out to family and young couples. Who you decide to rent decides the VALUE of future rental and future price. Of course you would not want to undermine your own property value ...

ACT WISELY

The park view taken from the upper unit.

There are more than 200 cameras watching us. The developer is known for its good maintenance and security.

A little difference like this makes us proud of the condo.

Lift lobby - notice the bin
The developer is really taking effort to makes the condo prestigious.

View up in the sky - taken from the rooftop.

Another view of the park.

Main entrance facade.

The playground is a nice play for kids to play and for evening walk. One of its kind.

Most of the buyers of Dynasty Garden are newly married couple in their late 20s or early 30s. Let's make the condo a good place to live.

This kind of thing should be thought in Year 1 Engineering School. Oh i forget... we should teach the Indon workers... not the developer.... because Indon worker construct our building...

Meeting Confirmed

2008-05-20T21:58:00.004+08:00

updated on 22nd May 2008 - 11.25pm

someone has arrange a visit to the MP office at the same time on the same day. unless we have clones, i dont think we can be at two places at the same time.

the message makes many confused that i have no choice but to delete the post and issue a friendly reminder to the member.

the meeting to the MP office will be arranged on a later date as we do not need a whole bunch of us to see the MP - we are not protesting against the MP, so no point bringing a dozen of us to her office unless we want to waste each other time and irritate the MP. make sense huh? 2-3 persons should be ok.

we need the dozens of you, purchasers of dynasty garden to be at akisama office at jalan chan sow lin this saturday. we need to register our complaint formally. then only we complain to the MP. most of us have not registered the complain on the balcony grille yet to the developer. so we do things one step at a time. cant move both legs at the same time unless we are working in a circus as a clown.

tat's the problem when there's no leader. everyone wants to go their own way.

i just need a rep among u guys so that things are in order. we have not met yet for this saturday and things already gone unruly.

duh...

MEETING CONFIRMED :

Dynasty Garden Extraordinary General Meeting

2008-05-18T11:38:00.004+08:00

Due to new issues cropped out and most of the buyers of dynasty garden condo having hard time to do their daily routines such as insomnia, constant nagging from spouse, lost of appetite to eat, etc..... the Dynasty Garden Blog Team is proposing to have a meeting for brain storming session....

Tentatively, the meeting is proposed to be held at our regular spot :

Burger King, Mid Valley Megamall
Sunday, 25th May 2008
Be there at : 1pm to know each other
EGM starts at 1.30pm

Again, for some silly reason, try your best to wear a white, black or red shirt so that new members can identify us unless someone wants to carry a flag inside the megamall.

The objective of this meeting is to line up our strategy on how to tackle the current issues and at the same time, to recharge our energy. This is because group power is stronger especially when you know that you are not alone fighting against the donkey.

Stay tuned to this page for confirmation of meeting, latest by Thursday night, 22nd May 2008.

The meeting will be held if we have 8 or more support.

Subject: Dynasty garden condo - developer cheated us
To: teresa kok <teresakok@yahoo.com.my>

Dear YB Teresa Kok,

We are a group of purchasers who bought condominium units at Dynasty Garden Condominium, Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur. The developer is Akisama Sdn Bhd.

We are writing to you because we feel cheated by the Developer.

This is because the air-cond trunking (as you can see in the attached photographs) is running on the wall, protuding and visibly seen by the eye. This is totally different than the show units where the trunking is embedded into the wall (photos of show units also attached). We feel that the Developer has mislead us the buyers by thinking we will get the same kind of workmanship with the show units. If the Developer wish to give such workmanship, he should have not mislead us by creating the show unit in such manner. This has shown that the developer is not sincere in the very first place and is just thinking of making profit but does not deliver their standard of work.

As purchasers, we fully understand if the model or specifications of materials is not available in the market, for instance specifications of tiles, sanitary wares, etc.

But the air-cond trunking is purely a workmanship matter. It is like giving a 'tayar celup' to a brand new car instead of a real tyre.

We have written to the developer but up to now, there has been no reply. Calls to their office is also a waste of time as we are being pushed around.

We have nowhere to turn and our main objective is to get a solution towards this matter, not to aggravate or create an issue.

We hope you can assist us on this matter.

The forum discussion on this matter can be found at :

Grille Issue

2008-05-13T23:34:00.005+08:00

What the fuck is this?

Stop treating us like idiots.

Which idiot can think of such stupid design? Which university you graduate from? Did you go to school before? Low cost flat have better design than this grille.

Oh.... i can't believe it. It looks damn ugly. This must be a cost saving exercise by the developer. Instead of giving the grille at the door (which cost more), they give us the ugly grille like this.
oh what the fuck....

1. The grille installed is against the building plan approval from DBKL. A copy of the approved building plan can be obtained from DBKL.

2. The grille installed is also against Bomba approval. This is a fire hazard. Instead of saving life, it will actually endanger our life during emergency as rescue can't reach us.

3. Why don't you grilled the whole house including the yard and windows? oh ya... don't forget to grille the toilet bowl also.

4. You didn't give us what you promise during the sale. This is not the grille we were promised during the sale. Don't try to test our patience. We just want to be treated fairly, not being greedy because all this is your sales gimmick.

5. Thirty percent purchasers agree with the balcony grille. Fuck you! Why weren't many of us asked about this?

Oh ya...we are now fucked up.

Green tinted glass of the masterbedroom makes the building looks modern and classy.

The newly premixed road leading to the condo looks nice. Just pray hard that TNB won't dig it.

An overview of the front side of the condo.

The entrance is done tastefully. It looks like a high class condo!

Guess the works still yet to complete. They have yet to clear all the debri.

Photos showing the inner road of the condo.

No entrance - the roadwork is still on going. Soon, the developer will send the latest billing for completion of road.

No cheapo guardhouse. It's sure a nice guardhouse compare to other condo. The colour itself suit the surrounding building. Hope the guard will have the same standard.

The entrance to the condo. Hmmm... wonder where is the porch? ... in case if it rains.... mr architect?

Road premix to connect to existing road.
