Title Transfer

1282009 — Mon, 01 Jan 2018 20:43:14 +0800

When should we perform the title transfer after paying off the housing loan (fully settled). Should we do this together when strata title is out? However there is no news when it will be. Shall we do the title transfer first? Someone informed me that these two are separate things and will not save any cost if I do them together.

Please advise if u have any experience on this. The mentioned prop is a service apartment.

MOT for Strata Title & Selling Off Property

1282009 — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 22:16:01 +0800

Hi all, my condo unit just received strata title recently. I'm also planning to sell my unit if there's an offer.

My question is would it be cheaper to do all this when I sell my unit or I shall do my strata title transfer first since I'm not sure if I managed to sell my unit soon.

Is the cost same if I do now vs when I do it together when I sell my unit within a year (the strata title transfer deadline is within a year)?

Thanks in advance.

Note: The prop is free of loan

A lot in store in Cyberjaya

CYBERJAYA is not only home to information and communications technology (ICT) and multimedia companies, it has more to offer.

Hafidz Hashim, the managing director of Cyberview Sdn Bhd (the Cybercity manager for Cyberjaya), said Cyberjaya boasts more than 300 commercial outlets providing food and beverage, shopping and recreational experiences. The figure will increase to include another 700 or more outlets in the next three to five years to cater to the growing needs of the Cyberjaya population.

“There are close to 20 different locations with commercial components within Cyberjaya.

“The commercial buildings in Cyberjaya are well spread out aound the city. Besides allowing us to better manage the traffic, the crowd is evenly spread,” Hafidz explained.

There are more than 150 food and beverage establishments in Cyberjaya, offering Malay, Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, Thai, Italian and other cuisines.

Two drive-thru and dine-in outlets, Starbucks and Burger King, are also on the list. A second Starbucks will arrive soon.

In addition to the recently completed CBD Perdana 2, as well as Prima Avenue I and II which are fully tenanted commercial centres comprising offices and food outlets, Hafidz said more commercial developments will spring up in the next two to five years, including d’Pulze, MCT’s SkyPark, Pangea @ Cyberjaya, Glomac Cyberjaya Phase 1 and 2, Glomac Cyberjaya 2, Shaftsbury Square, VITA Cyberjaya and CBD Perdana 3 Cyberjaya.

D’Pulze features 370,000 sq ft of dining, entertainment and leisure space, comprising an alfesco dining strip, supermarket, cineplex, karaoke, gym and spa centre.

Another 630,000 sq ft of its 1 million sq ft gross built-up area will go into a four-star international serviced apartment-hotel, SOHO units and serviced apartments named Suites @ d’Pulze, which is adorned with landscaping by international award-winning landscape architecture firm Land Art Design.

Pangea@Cyberjaya by OSK houses a shopping mall, street mall, boutique hotel and boutique retail space.

Stategically located along Persiaran Apec and surrounded by multinational corporations, Glomac Cyberjaya phase 1 and 2 and Glomac Cyberjaya 2 consist of more than 100 commercial outlets with modern facades.

Glomac Cyberjaya aims to present a wider range of investment opportunities that are ideal for small- to medium-sized businesses seeking an address in the heart of Cyberjaya.

MCT’s Sky Park, on the other hand, features five blocks of en bloc offices, strata offices, a hotel and SOHO studios, which are all linked to the sky park. It also has an eco-friendly serviced apartment block.

Hafidz drew attention to a recently completed development in Cyberjaya, Shaftsbury Square, which comprises of 145 commercial outlets.

“It is a fusion of art, culture, enterprise and comfortable living. The freehold development has three office towers, two luxury SOHO/serviced apartments and 150 units of shoplots,” he said.

Meanwhile, Crystalville Sdn Bhd also introduced a 5.26ha mixed integrated development called VITA Cyberjaya. The first phase of the three-phase development comprises VIVA Shops and a SOHO tower, while the second and third phases will offer retail, commercial and hospitality components.

CBD Perdana 3 in Cyberjaya sets to be another exciting retail hub combining restaurants, supermarket and offices in the development.

“Centrus at CBD Perdana 3 features an all-in-one development offering business, shopping, leisure and residential facilities under one roof,” Hafidz said.

With architecture graced by tropical design features, Galleria @ Cyberjaya provides Cyberjaya with a wider array of lively work spaces, food and conveniences.

“The facade of each block has deep overhang shading the windows, thus reducing heat by 50%,” Hafidz said.

According to Hafidz, there are several key factors contributing to the growth of commercial developments in Cyberjaya. Besides the major expressways that provide connectivity, the inclusion of Cyberjaya in the Greater KL plan is proving to be a boost.

“Greater KL will see Cyberjaya becoming a very important part of a thriving, lively and economically vibrant mega-metropolis in the global top 20 most liveable cities by 2020, with a collective target population of 10 million.

“This plan has generated tremendous interest among the private sector, which is borne out by investments made by developers into Cyberjaya and the surrounding areas,” he said.

Proposed bus route to ease congestion on Federal Highway

THE Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) will be seeking public feedback on the proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) next month.

“We have already engaged the public on this matter and we expect to put up a public display for feedback and comments by August,” said SPAD chief development officer Azmi Abdul Aziz during a buka puasa event at the Sime Darby Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur.

Also present at the event were SPAD chairman Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar and chief executive officer Mohd Nur Kamal.

The BRT is aimed at easing traffic congestion along the Federal Highway.

The first phase of the 17km alignment will start at an integrated station at the Batu Tiga Komuter station in Shah Alam, with dedicated bus lanes going along the median of the Federal Highway.

Strategic stops have been planned along the highway such as near Subang Jaya, Sunway Mentari, Asia Jaya LRT and Universiti LRT stations, with the route ending at Central Market.

“Some areas are not well connected to the LRT lines. The aim is for the buses to provide seamless travel for commuters.

“The buses will travel along the dedicated routes before joining existing bus lanes in the city centre.

“We are still discussing the possibility of going into the Mid Valley Megamall area and through Brickfields because those are high-traffic areas,” said Azmi.

He said the route would eventually connect to the North Klang bus teminal, allowing Klang commuters to travel to Kuala Lumpur city centre or switch to LRT and Kommuter stations along the way.

He disclosed that SPAD had held discussions with stakeholders who would be affected by the construction of the stations and lanes, and it had encountered a lot of resistance to the project.

“A lot of people do not see the benefits that the BRT will bring in the long run.

“The buses can run very frequently and we are looking at park-and-ride facilities along the highway.

“If motorists get caught in a jam, they will have the option to park their cars and hop on a bus to get to the city centre,” he explained.

Azmi added that the route was expected to be finalised before the end of the year and SPAD would call for tenders then.

The other BRT Sunway Line, a public-private partnership between Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad and Sunway, will see a 5km route linking the upcoming USJ 6 LRT station with Bandar Sunway and Mentari Court.

Parts of the transit route will be elevated and run alongside the LRT track.

The project is targeted to begin early next year so it can be completed at the same time as the LRT extension project in 2014.

Slow In Accessing LYN Forums

1282009 — Sun, 27 May 2012 20:30:00 +0800

Lately I notice slowness in accessing LYN forums. I don't think this is my laptop/browser issue as I've no such problems when accessing other sites. Sometimes it's taking me up to a minute to post a reply and get the screen refreshed. At times, I can see the URL when the webpage is being refreshed, at the bottom of the browser it will show something eg. loading of jpg, speedtest.com, etc. Is this my issue or the website? Please advise. I'm using IE8 as the browser.
Thanks.
