            <title>Alternatives to plaster ceiling</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5494208</link>
            <description>Hello folks,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am considering alternatives to plaster ceiling but wondering what the cost is like for them such as aluminium panels or tech wood panels? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aesthetically the panels have so many options and look much better but not sure of maintenance and upkeep. Has anyone done it and how much is it compared to plaster? thanks</description>

Since it is commercial, State Govt unlikely to drop premium unlike residential.</description>

            <title>Traffic Survey for New Landed Developments</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5277225</link>
            <description>Hey guys, all the recent news on the worsening traffic and comments in some forums have got me thinking of doing a survey from those who stay in the new landed home developments on how long it takes them to reach KL/PJ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here goes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                        From:                                               time  to KL                                          time to PJ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Puncak Alam  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Elmina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Rimbayu/Tropicana/ 247&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Rawang&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Serenia city&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Semenyih (Ecoworld)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Seremban&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Gamuda Gardens&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Cyberjaya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            Sepang&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Is it a good time to buy Property and if so, what?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5263139</link>
            <description>Hey guys, Just want to hear your opinions on this matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it a good time to buy Property? Why? or Why Not? If yes, where? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each person&amp;#39;s scenario is different. So what is a good time for some may be a bad time for others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My opinion is that now is a good time to buy properties as Developers are giving a lot of discounts and freebies, sellers have lowered their asking prices plus Bank interest rates are record low. You also have the inflation factor whereby properties are gonna be more expensive in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Provided IF you have stable income/job and commitments are manageable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, not a good time because economy is uncertain as we have just started to recover but the world may go into recession due to the russian/ukraine war. Rentals will remain stagnant or even drop because of plenty of supply and unaffordability issue of tenants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This scenario limited to Klang Valley but i believe other parts of Malaysia are even worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you all think?</description>
