MK20 SCORES HAT TRICK, Voted Best in Asia Pacific and Malaysia June 2011, www.sunrisebhd.com

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Kuala Lumpur, 6 June 2011 – Sunrise Berhad is pleased to announce that MK20 won three awards at the prestigious Asia Pacific Property Awards 2011 in association with Bloomberg Television. This latest offering by the quality developer captured the Best Commercial High Rise Development Award for Asia Pacific and Malaysia, as well as the Mixed Use Architecture (Highly Commended) Award for Malaysia.

Located along the main Jalan Kiara, this mixed-use development integrates the quad-components of luxury serviced residence, hotel, SoHo and boutique retail, creating a single destination where the vibrancy of urban living and the tranquility of exclusive abode culminate.

“This achievement reflects the strength of the Sunrise brand name and the quality of our diverse range of market-driven products. We constantly challenge ourselves to make a difference. While each new project has to stand out, it also has to meet the expectation of the market,” said Lum Tuck Ming, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of Sunrise Berhad.
Conceptualised and designed by world renowned architectural practice Foster+Partners, MK20's intriguing typology is a contemporary expression of space and an alternative to the predicable tower solutions where privacy is assured, yet natural light, views and external space are optimised.

Meticulously crafted in two parallel terrace blocks of 18- and 36-storeys, the comparatively low-rise provides a lateral counterpoint to the nearby towers. Linking the two wings is a generous central plaza with walled gardens and landscaped courtyard, where the retail activities flourish.

The upper and lower plazas are encircled by signature restaurants, cafes and boutique shopping, while maintaining a visual connection with the luxury serviced residence, SoHo and hotel above.

The tower features serviced residence and SoHo pools overlooking the retail world beneath, while the hotel sky pool privileges a view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, tennis court and multipurpose hall facility cum badminton courts, games room and children’s playground.

Later this year, top scoring MK20 will compete against other winning projects from Europe, Africa, the Americas and Arabia to find the ultimate World’s Best. A record number of 21 different countries took part in the Asia Pacific Awards this year. These awards are part of the International Property Awards which was established 17 years ago, comprising residential and commercial categories.

Sunrise’s 28 Mont’Kiara won the World’s Best Residential High Rise Development Award in 2010. The Asia Pacific region has an enviable record of achievement at international level, having scooped seven World’s Best awards in the finals of both 2009 and 2010.

KUALA LUMPUR: Sunrise Bhd's upcoming mixed development MK20 in Mont'Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, which is targeted for launch in the second half this year, is designed and conceptualised by world renowned architectural practice Foster+Partners.

The project with an estimated gross development value of RM1 billion will feature a mix of luxury serviced residences, SoHos, a hotel, business suites and boutique retail outlets.

Project details for MK20 which sits on six acres (2.4ha) of freehold land along Jalan Kiara nearby Plaza Mont'Kiara are still being fine-tuned. As a result, the exact number of units is still being determined and selling prices have not been set. The serviced residences have proposed unit sizes from 850 sq ft to 2,000 sq ft, the SoHos have sizes from 450 sq ft to 1,000 sq ft, while the business suites are from 700 sq ft to 1,550 sq ft.

The design is aimed at ensuring privacy for its residents while optimising natural light, views and external spaces at the same time.

The project is made up of two blocks of 18 and 36 storeys built parallel to each other. The 18-storey block will house the serviced residences, while its taller counterpart has the hotel, SoHo and business suites. Linking the two relatively low-rise blocks is a central plaza with walled gardens and landscaped courtyard where retail activities will hold fort. The lower portion of the development or the upper and lower plazas will feature signature restaurants, cafes and boutique shopping, while the SoHo, serviced apartment and business suites and hotel floors sit atop them.

Facilities include a sky pool with views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline, tennis courts, multi-purpose hall facility cum badminton courts, games room and children's playground.

MK20 recently won three awards at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2011, in association with Bloomberg Television held in Shanghai, China on May 31. It took top place in the categories of Best Commercial High Rise Development for Asia Pacific and Malaysia, as well as Mixed Use Architecture (Highly Commended) for Malaysia. MK20 will compete at the International Property Awards with other winning projects from around the world to find the "ultimate World's Best". A record number of 21 countries took part in the Asia-Pacific Awards this year.

Window XP Installation Setup keep restarting

kbandito — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 22:20:16 +0800

I had an old school WD 40GB HDD which I have used for 7 years, I tried to format the PC.
However, when I reach the Window XP installation screen, the setup always shut down automatically, I cannot do anything.
So I thought it was the HDD problem because it is so old already, I went to buy a 1TB Samsung F3.

However, the same problem comes again!
The setup shuts down automatically at 34th minute during the installation.

Is that a motherboard problem or the CDROM problem?
Anyone can help?

Buying Grade B prop at prime location, or

kbandito — Sat, 08 May 2010 12:40:05 +0800

I have been thinking on two direction of residential property investment for rental yield and minor cap appreciation purpose:

1) #1: Buying Grade B prop at prime location
2) #2: Buying Grade A prop at sub-prime location

The buying price for each option might be around the same level, what's your take?

Possible way to reduce RPGT

kbandito — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:14:20 +0800

QUOTE

The first Schedule of the Solicitors Remuneration Order 1991 sets out the fees based on the purchase price of the property as follows:-

1.5% on the first RM150,000
0.7% on the next RM4,900,000
0.25% on the remainder

For the schedule for legal fees it is advisable to consult your lawyers for the present calculation of the legal fees.

All transfer of property is subject to Government Stamp Duty. Rate of Stamp Duty is based on the value of property.

1% on the first RM100,000
2% on the next RM400,000
3% on the next RM1,500,000

For the schedule for stamp duty it is advisable to consult your lawyers for the present calculation.

I am thinking on a possible loophole in avoiding RPGT.

Example,
I buy a property at RM240k, sell it after 3 years for RM300k. Under RPGT, I am required to pay RM60k x 5% = RM3,000

If I marked up the SPA price at the point of purchase to RM300k. My extra cost is RM420(RM60k x 0.7%) + RM1,200(RM60k x 2%) =RM1,620.
I effectively reduce the RPGT to 2.7%.

However this is constrained to several assumptions like selling the prop within 5 years, prop appreciates at the rate of the markup margin, etc.

If this is a viable option, is there any chance for the government to ban SPA markup?

Must Read
1. The bulk MOQ (Minimum of Quantity) is 4pcs.
2. Once the MOQ reaches 4 and I receive RM50 deposit from all orders, I will immediately place an order.
3. I will be using International Express Delivery which the ETA from United Kingdom is 3-5 days.
4. COD/Postage using Poslaju will be arranged immediately after the receipt of jersey from United Kingdom. Postage is free!
5. In the event that taxes are being charged by the Malaysian Custom, the cost will be spread evenly to all purchasers. However, the chances of being taxed is minimal because per shipment only consist of 4pcs jersey which is definitely lower than 3kg. Customs usually check parcel which is more than 3kg only.

Menara D'sara @ Bandar Damansara

kbandito — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:17:48 +0800

I have been checking on Menara D'sara @ Bandar Sri Damansara SD10, which was completed at year 1999.
Basically the price is as below:
1) 916sf basic unit - RM160,000 +/- (RM175/sf), rental RM800
2) 1132sf basic unit - RM200,000 +/- (RM175/sf), rental RM1,000
Maintainance fees for both is RM180.

I personally like the quiet environment in Bandar Sri Damansara.
At RM175psf I seriously think that this condo desires more appreciation, Menara Menjalara across the street is commanding RM230psf and the density is too high to me.
If it is going to appreciate from RM175psf to RM230psf, that is a 30% appreciation.
I am thinking of buying this for capital appreciation, looking at the almost certain 6% rental yield, it could be a safe play.
Here are a few plus points that I have:

1) The development of Sunway SPK, Villa Manja, Desa ParkCity and the coming Garden Home is going to grab people's attention to the BSD & Menjalara area. The Menara Menjalara Condominium certainly had benefited from Desa ParkCity and Villa Manja, will the radar expands to Bandar Sri Damansara?
2) Menara D'sara is near to amenities, 5 mins walk to McDonald's, PappaRich, Domino's and the incoming 8trium, isn't it great? Not to mention there are banks, petrol stations, bakeries, clinics and schools which is less than 10 mins walking distance/5mins driving distance.
3) One can rarely get a <RM200k decent condominium in PJ area, if we look further from Damansara Perdana, BSD is neighbouring to Damansara Perdana & Mutiara Damansara too. And 15 mins to Jalan Kuching thru Segambut is also a short cut to KL.
4) Menara D'sara is very low in density, less than 300 units and you do not see a lot of cars park by the roadside outside the condo. In fact I see several BMW and Mercedes.

Combining the above three, Mutiara Damansara/Damansara Perdana is certainly expanding, Bandar Menjalara/Kepong too, but with Bandar Sri Damansara locating so near to this two areas, I do not see her benefits from these two areas YET!

But here is a few of my concerns too:
1) The 916sf and 1132sf units was launched at around RM140k and RM180k respectively 11 years ago, the appreciation is a mere 10%+/- for the past years! Considering the age of the condo, is that going to be a barrier for more appreciation?
2) I have personally yet to see any condos to appreciate at big rate after the tenth years.

I think I have given enough of my opinion to attract more viable inputs from fellows forummers.
As the chinese proverb goes, throw bricks attract gems!

Let's give some opinion regarding Menara D'sara here.

Bandar Sri Damansara, a hidden gem?

kbandito — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:40:02 +0800

I frequent to Bandar Sri Damansara at Kepong, a friend of mine lives there.
Bandar Sri Damansara is located opposite of Bandar Menjalara and Desa ParkCity.
A simple idea on where is it located:

Map:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I am eyeing the property here, because the neighborhood is low in density, and the surroundings make you feel very comfortable, middle class I would say.
There is a McDonald, Pappa Rich, Domino's and Pizza Hut there, several eateries and shops, very convenient.

Property price here is very attractive IMO, a condominium that I am looking at is only priced at RM175/sf, and rental can go to RM1.00/sf.
Menara Manjalara which is located right opposite Bandar Sri Damansara is priced at RM230/sf and yet the density is very high.
Comparing both of these developments, it looks like there is a potential appreciation of 20%-30%!

The location of Bandar Sri Damansara is very strategic I would say, despite there is a RM1.60 toll to access to PJ.
You can reach KL by taking LDP or go through Jalan Ipoh/Segambut.
Prices at Bandar Manjalara is crazy now, so Bandar Sri Damansara is very attractive and the neighborhood is certainly better than Bandar Manjalara IMO.

I am looking for more opinion from fellow taikors before I go chop.

My 7 years old SAMTRON 75E keep having its screen shaking in a very fast speed, but after I use my hand to hit on top of the monitor, it stays back stable and normal. But that would not last long, it will shakes again later on.
What might be the problem?
