@Shawn
the last time i asked.. they will launched the double storey house when 80% of the non bumi lot of the semi d phase 1 sold out…perhaps, you are talking about the majority of the bumi lots…i had hard time choosing the lot i want when i bought my unit early this year… many already occupied actually…
note: actual input from purchaser not commentator…
what’s the relationship between this Jesselton Hills & Penang Island’s Jesselton Heights?
OC passed for both impiana boulevard & avenue shoplots…
McD @ Tesco reno going finish just before 11.11 soon
Wat is the latest status? No new at all. Selling good or bankrupt dy?
Same goes for me too, I had hard time as well choosing a unit for own stay. But at last, I was happy with my unit. FYI, I heard some rumors that they are planning to complete the phase 1 project and obtain OC before chinese new year 2013! Not too sure how true is this, as they are planning to work on the club house and phase 2 asap.
@jojohe
that is very fast, ahead of schedule. early this year when i purchased, they say completion will be end of 2013. have you seen the progress? the last update is tiling and plastering d (last 2 months)…
i saw the construction ground for the club house and the small recreational items around that area and some water fountain already… not sure it is for decorative or aeration of the artificial pond… abit brownish still due to the land nature.
and i think at the moment, there is no taman in seberang perai that can beat Jesselton Hills and Impian landscape…
what is the current selling price?
Tom, if I’m not mistaken, the current price for a standard unit is RM643,000 with RM28,888 rebate. I realized you are an owner for this project as well, may I know how much did you pay for the unit when you purchased early this year?
I go there pretty much every week to see the progress and noticed that they are moving really fast especially building the gates for each unit and the 2.5 storey units. I can’t to wait see the completion of the project as a whole.
@jojohe
I got it at below 600k. I don’t the house price will rise crazily but rather gradually. Should be better once McD and all those money spending outlets are there plus the jam within the next 5 years…but it’s a good development for BM. Not to say I am selling the house, but there is some sort of feel good factor to be able to get something that worth more than what it originally was (don’t start on the sad bank loan interest tho)
Any status on Jusco? The land was bought by them according to DNP but no construction works on that piece of land?? Any news??
Yes, I also heard that too. But they will develop just matter of when. Did you notice the Dominos Pizza is already opened?
Domino’s Pizza open at Impiana Commercial Hub?? Any news on what business will be opened at there??
Yes, Dominos is in the hub. I have also heard Kopitiam, IKEA and a few franchise coffee shops will be there too.
@Johohe
Betui bo?Ikea?where got place to build?
Ikea needs big space, Impiana Commercial Hub can only provide them “small branch” concept, unless they bought the land from Jusco and construct building by their own. How feasible!!! We don’t knw!! Haha. Of cause we hope Ikea can mark their footprint at BM.
Any bank set up their branches at Impiana Commercial Hub?? I believe there is a good place. Also suitable for well-known franchise business.
@Alvin
if the abandons building can reconstruct, e.g. Leon factory, asas plaza, building beside alma traffic light, then high chance for big inverter like IKEA come in. also have a lot of land in Alma pending to develop.
I hope they can make a KTM Komuter station near Tesco to enable better transportation option. I think that would bring up the value of the property even further. Now we just need better road and traffic system. BM traffic is terrible
RM643k for standard unit is unbelievable… it was just sub-500k when I made my purchase. Don’t i wish that our pay can increase at such rate ^_^
Hey SL, wow you just earned yourself 143k just like that! Did you see all the shops starting to develop there? One come after the other. Did you buy your unit for own stay?
@jojohe
Virtual earn only… If I have 2 units then it would be a good gain
Haven’t decide to stay or sell.
Not sure about the development there. Haven’t been passing by there lately.
i guess you bought it when they started to sell.
Kopitan Classic just starting to do their renovation, right beside Dominos Pizza.
How about the 2.5 story? Still available? How much? Or any sub-sale?
2.5
2.5 storey still got few units available. If not mistaken, it is around 818k with cash rebate. Have you check out the show units yet?
@Stupid
I thought you said the JH bankrup? Still want to buy?
dnp has notified that JH phase 1 is 80% complete.will be 100% by mid ’13.
anyone been there saw any groundwork at the new jusco site?
i have not returned to BM for almost a year already, not sure how is the area around taman impian but definitely optimistic about that area, so does JH.
hopefully 2014 i can go back cny and enjoy the swimming pool in the club. :p
Hey Tom, I guess you must be an owner =). I have not notice any ground work on JUSCO site yet but the impiana commercial hub is really doing well with one shop come after another. Also JH phase 2 just started their ground work for the show unit. I have also heard that BM mahkota will start first half of 2013 too. I can’t to see this area when completed!
i’m just BM kia
Duno jesselton hill is a flooded area or not? Cause I heard that alma is a well known flooded area. Can anyone let me know cause I m considering to buy jesselton hill house
I have stayed at BM area..near JH for 7 years… so far no flood…
many places in BM that were once flooded are not rectified,because the drainage has been improved.
now*
Price is going to increase again when OC obtain, which will be around Mid 2013. The project is ahead of schedule, now phase 2 show house is under construction.
I hope it will increase again too because what i know is that it is rm650k already.
I trust the property prices around impian area is appreciating well, due to rapid development and more people living there already…
@jojohe
I believe it definitely will increase price again when OC. Also the phase 2 show house will be ready very soon.
Have any photo about the lastest progress of the project?
http://www.dnpland.com.my/index.php?content=psales_jess_status
Thanks for the sharing. It is nice to see the development is progressing well. Just too bad the developer does not do photo update frequent.
Btw, this forum has been rather quiet compared to other development forum.
Yes, it is rather quiet. I have been to the site recently, it looks like the project is ahead of schedule. Perhaps, we should create a FB account so that all the owners can gather up/meet or some sort?
@jojohe
Yeah, anyone would like to take lead on this? let’s give it a try to see if there will be a lot of JH owners keeping in the loop via FB…
Ok, just took some time to create a page (facebook). I will update as much as I can with the progress pictures. But please join if you are the owner of JH. It is nice to know your neighbors first!
http://www.facebook.com/Jesselton.Hills.Alma
aeon site on progress… lakeside superlink phase2 sample house on progress…
any new owner, mind sharing what is the current price for the superlink?
Have any latest photo to share?
I wonder if JH price will increase again looking at the current selling price of permatang sanctuary… no doubt JH has better location relatively… any thoughts?
Last price I gotten from DNP was RM693k for standard double-story Semi-D
AEON has confirmed that the mall in BM will be operational in 2014. Timely with the OC of phase 1, most likely. How is the phase 2 doing?
2units-“link” 2 Storey SemiD for sale @1.48M; 1unit @750K.
OC obtained soon coming Sep/Oct.
Interested call 0175050787 or email: kytang88@ymail.com for details. Thanks!

@CK
Nice photos TKY. The roads looks rather narrow. Is it in actual?
Perhaps great to share more update on the FB page…
https://www.facebook.com/jesselton.hills.9?fref=ts
I suggest that all prospective residents share their property defects and areas for improvements once OC is obtained.. so that we all get the right quality we should for our property…
When can get the oc?
hear say in Sept/ Oct… can anyone confirm?
The official name for this place is Taman Jasa Indah. Hopefully, the residence there will name the place Jesselton Hills in their address. Something DNP should encourage as a lot of buyers got to know this just after agreement are made.
Regarding the construction road for Jesselton, does the owner have to pay for it too?
If yes, will it consider owned by payee or still belongs to Majlis?
Meaning that if its belongs to Majlis, we cannot simply park at the roadside?
In the snp agreement it says owner cannot change paint color scheme or alter the exterior facade of the semi d. Is it correct? I would prefer that way so people won’t simply install awning and change color or extend till the neighbourhood looks awful.
I fully agree with tom’s statement but agreement is only agreement because malaysia do have law but NO ENFORCEMENT! If you go to the site now, the place is very nice and standard. Understand that there is no strata title which means owners can do whatever they want. Usually, even with strata title, some people still do it.
Hi! Tom, which page on the S&P that states that?
@Tom
Being uniform is good. But as human, we are all unique and should be allowed to express it. Don’t tell me they will also standardize what car we can own to stay there.
@SL
I agree with you that we are all allowed to express our uniqueness. However, coming from the usual residential area, I am not impressed by various awning colours and big balconies by some units which ended making the neighbourhoodlooking more messy than grand.
I also believe people will not heed to the agreement since it is not strata titled. Hence, hope the neighbours will not try to cramp in a mansion onto a small semi d… my two cents.
I like what you said about a mansion being in a SemiD. Some are extreme and will go all out.
I’m also hoping owners don’t make housing like a circus… Colorful with extreme paint colors.
All the best with your new house Tom
On plan, it looks nice when we see a lot of landscaped gardens, water features and outdoor equipment & decorations BUT when the development is fully completed and the developer hand it over to the coucil –> MPSP…will it be properly maintain?? Answer is NO…unless the residents form a RA and do it themselve. Another question is will all the residents willing to pay the extra maintenance fee??
The should be a resident committee once the developer relinquish their administration over the security management to the resident.
I will definitely be participating and hopefully can work together with the rest to make the neighbourhood a nicer place to stay.
Anyone had found the interior design ?
The interior design of….? JH show house?
Guys, I have approach few developers in the area before decide to buy the property in Jesselton Hills, one of the reason i decided to buy property here, beside good township and planning, is the developer staff is polite and professional compare to other developers. S&P Lawyer is also efficient.
The selling price is picking up very fast. Worth to invest.
Good Job to DNP!
@Edward
Did u sign the S&P before getting the loan?
Hi Chocolate,
I got the loan before sign S&P.
For those who bought it way earlier… it must be very worth it as now the super link house is priced higher than the semi detached in 2012.
Anyone wants to sell 2storey semi-D?
Dont mind to let him get some profit.
Anyone knows when the clubhouse is going to be built? I am not sure where in the agreement or document that states 1 or 2 year free membership for the clubhouse.. can anyone confirm with me on this?
Another thing is the security. Is it free for the first one or two years or none?
It seems that there is no security gate/ pole installed.
@Tom
JH is only guarded area, not gated, so no maintenance fee.
Correct me if i am wrong.
This is “kampung area” trying to distract attention by naming Jesselton Hills.
You will feel you are in another ‘planet’ at night if you choose a wrong area
in the mainland.
Which is the wrong area you think?
@Chocolate
Guided by security guard, employed. After the free 2 years period (for JH2, not sure about JH1 period), have to pay security fee but it should be cheaper than the usual G & G.
So, now you start to like JH Ph1 ? Like BMU Ph4, JH1 has high ceiling height and 3-panels large windows, not include in JH Ph2. However, JH2 has some other good designs/features over them too …….
Want to try luck if i can find one..heheh..
But i am not going to pay 750K for semi-d for JH1 a..
@Chocolate
i think you will be lucky to even find 700k unit.
the terrace house is already cost close to 600k by launch price
How about the price for 2.5 storey? Increase to 1 million dy?
Kampong doesn’t mean not good. Lee Chong Wei also from this Kampong.
Please don’t look down Kampong people.
@ Believe
Kampong doesn’t mean not good. Lee Chong Wei also from this Kampong.
Please don’t look down Kampong people.
I don’t know how kampung is defined for some. But in some parts of KL, you have places similar to BM. Try the Cheras area which is just beside Pandan Mewah…
Developed area won’t selling this price anymore.
How much developed area like KL or Penang Island is selling for Super Link, Semi D and Bungalow with Club House Facilities?
The earlier you comes in, the more variance of profit you can earn when the area have fully developed.
Mainland now is different from those days. 2nd Link bridge have come up and if you have done your homework, few major developers have coming in to Mainland.
I believed AEON won’t simply built their branch in JH if they can’t see the population and potential here.
No offence but just to share my opinion.
Just to share some info about DNP developer background:-
http://www.wingtaiasia.com.my/Home/
DNP is big co la, even the salesperson in Hillpark admitted. This is a fact.
what is co la ? (hokkien, cantonese, Mal-english ?)
co la = company la (singlish slang)
hahah..
@BM Observer
any news on the occupancy certificate yet?
the last time i was there, i saw technicians going from house to house inspecting electrical wiring etc.
a keys going to given coming end of Sep soon for phase1 owner
When was the 1st launch date for JH phase 1? I would like to check how long DNP took to delivery the key to buyers..
Hope it is not just ‘a key’… But all owners getting their keys before end of Sep.
S&P was dated back in late Sep 2011, so no delays or advancement in handover.
Just received letter ask for the released of balanced. I think will get the key within this two week.
Nice.. to bad I won’t be back anytime soon.
Just wondering, will owners (if you read this) plan to move in as soon as fixing grille and furnishing?
It will be my nightmare if my next door renovate the house like no tomolo..Pray i have a good neighbor.
Does jh or it surrounding suffer from flooding especially heavy rain lie yesterday
I keep monitoring this problem after continuos raining, no flood. Later I will go to check again. I am worry about this problem too. But it seems like the retention pood is working well.
My relative has a house in Seri Impian, one of the earliest phase by DNP in that area… never flood before. It is good township and drainage planning. Impian area used to be a flood prone area as there used to be a river around there (near TESCO area) … according to my folks who are locals.
I think Tues and Wed evening heavy rains, any flood or ‘rushing’ water ?
Nope bro, not to worry! Only the “tanah merah” in both side of entrance road. U can go and check. This is because their haven’t full develop all phases. The “tanah merah” spill from the future clubhouse area. Now they already covered the area with tarpaulin to avoid more land spill out to main road in this bad raining season.
Jusco wouldn’t place their new mall in flood area anyway.
Thks for the hard work.
water come in very ong… plus welcoming the owners
Tom: then I hope the water will enter your house. I don’t wan that kind of ong.
@Pod
we’re all in the same boat.. of course you and I both don’t want to stay in a flood prone area, furthermore already spent a huge sum of money and commitment to it.
i am very confident that Jesselton Hills will not be hit by flood, not within the DNP development parcels. I remembered that Taman Kijang opposite Seri Impian was hit terribly by flood after Seri Impian is done but it was resolved. Heard of nothing till today.
Anyone know what is the address use for JH? Does DNP include “Jesselton Hills” in the adders?
Not taman jasa indah?
I know the real name is Taman Jasa Indah..but they can put something like..
No. xx, Jesselton Hills,
Jln Jasa Indah xx, Tmn Jasa Indah,
xxxxx Alma Bukit Mertajam, Pg.
Not sure..:P
No, I don’t think MPSP will allow “Jesselton Hills” to be part of the address; as far as MPSP licensing is concerned, Jesselton Hill Ph1 is Taman Jasa Indah, not up to DNP. So, the Jesselton Hill name is actually on the brochure and sales advertisement banner only …….just like all other glamorous English name projects.
No jesselton hill in the address. Only taman jasa indah.
Just received a registered letter. Informed that the handing over of vacant possession will be held on 27th, 28th and 29th of sept. dear owner, which day will u go? N what should do when take the key?
29th is a good day (if u are Chinese)..!!
Can I know why ? Mind to share ?
Check the China calender bro (If u know how to read la).
Already checked the chinese ‘racing horse’ calender before writing to you ……..but it does not mention anything, that’s why ask you ma …
Dont check the racing horse calender, check the traditional calender with big numbering in center one..29th is a good day.
Take key also need to see calendar?
Joking la..
Enjoy the excited moment JH owners!
Pls come back to the forum after u inspect your unit.
@Chocolate
Yupe.. owners please share if you found any issues. let us all ensure we all get quality houses
I went to the house as the back door is unlocked. Did some checking and observed the following.
1. The fan hook at living room is situated at the far side and not center for living room. Might need to change if you intent to fix the fan.
2. There is no roof drainage system at the back. You will notice that the water is trapped at the back.
3. All bathrooms are fitted with raindrop shower but there is no hot & cold piping. This means that you need to fix individual water heater which will look rather weird.
4. The handle for the staircase are made of wood. You will notice that there is a miscalculated where the gap between 2nd floor handle and the stairs are not joint. There is a major sharp gap between which can cause injury.
5. DNP designs the roof high and sacrifices the room for the attic. 2nd floor will be very warm (even at night) if there is no proper ventilation system.
On overall, DNP have done a good job on the finishing. Need to check in detail on that day. I was told also that DNP will hand over several items for us to bring home like the stainless steel piping, alarm system and tong sampah.
See you there this weekend
Hope to get more feedback.
Yes, DNP project all come with alarm system but sad they didnt include the heater point in all bathroom.
just check on S&P. There is a water heater point but only 3. I think only 2nd floor bathrooms
Any comments on the VP Status?
I think owner already can get their key last Fri/Sat.
2 years to file findings
Planned to take a round in JH but block by the guard..hahah..well done!
@CT
CT,
Thank you for comment. I urge 216 owners file their findings here to save more time.
Reading again S&P seems to point towards infringement of agreement.
Good Samaritan, Kindly advise your thoughts on further approach.
I encourage others to add in new findings.
CT, I agreed on Item 2). Very poor drainage system. Refer page 20 (side elevation) S&P:
Notice the small drain backyard? Most houses flooded up to 1 inch during short hours of rain. What if whole day rain?
Agreed on item 3)
Agreed on item 4)
New finding= metal railing staircase broken.
Disagreed on last comment. DNP did bad job. Kindly re-check again all item with careful observation.
Other findings=
a) Floor tiles cracked.
b) Door knob spoilt.
c) Plaster wall broken.
d)Missing Bathroom Strainer
e) Wall required re-painting. Dirt marks on wall.
f)Cement residue leftover
g)Un-even earth
h) dented window frame
i) Super cheap kitchen door – easy brake.
j) cement cracked.
many more… other owners please add new findings.
I will share more.
To my surprise, the appropriate authority done some checking with ‘pink’ stickers pointing to
defects. But it was not fixed due to limited time. Hence, architect that certifies this raises my eyebrow!!!
I encourage more participants for masses complaints. You do not deserve this kind of treatment vs high price of property. Do your part!
We have to push developers in Malaysia for higher standards of quality.
I got my relative (mom) to check on my unit. Check if the drainage system at the balcony area is ok…
i will get my family to check for the second time and will share if found anything other than already stated here. i will be back in december and cny only to check personally
Pls share as much as u can..we deserve better house as paid the premier price at first.
I would suggest owner check few times ie during raining, daytime and nighttime. Put the sticker as what the authority did to point out the defect location.
KJ, be patient, the house is under 2 years warranty, i believe DNP will take care to repair the defects. They still have few new phases yet to launch.
@KJ
Here are my experiences sharing and comments:
Take pictures and colour print out all the defects when filling the complaints.
Flooded even 1 inch is not acceptable. Take pictures (if any) of the watermarks (stain marks) on the wall. My family’s old house in other famous taman started with “harmless” 2 inches, then 5 inches, then 8, then, 12, etc, etc, and record high of 2.5feet !. Developer must clear/deepen the entire route of the drainage for any clogging, not just the backyard drain as first step to solve it.
My feedbacks on these Other findings:-
a) Floor tiles cracked. – Not too worry. Nowadays, single tile can be “cut-out” and replaced nicely.
b) Door knob spoilt. – Can be replaced.
c) Plaster wall broken. – Need to re-plaster (patch up) but make sure they scratch out the bigger area before re-plaster (not just exact size of the broken area, for better adhesion).
d)Missing Bathroom Strainer – Can be put back.
e) Wall required re-painting. Dirt marks on wall. – Ask them to clean first before repainting it.
f)Cement residue leftover – Don’t worry, can be removed with those chemical (acid) sold in hardware shop. This acid is to ‘eaten-up’ the cement. They should know.
g)Un-even earth – Not sure what is that.
h) dented window frame – If minor dent, that can be straighten back but if gross dented, then bad news, entire window glass have to be removed and frame has to be removed and replaced (just like during construction), major work. If this has to be done, make sure they cover your tiles from scratches with protective plastic.
i) Super cheap kitchen door – easy brake. – Too bad. If it’s not a defect but rather lousy specification, i don’t think they will do anything.
j) cement cracked. – Which portion or area ? If big crack lines, they should not just fill the cracks/grooves with cement but should re-surface it, otherwise the crack can still propagate.
When you have connect the water from PBA, do this test for checking toilet floor leaking :
Flooded the 2nd foor’s toilet floor and go to ground floor to observe the ceiling for any water stain marks, etc. Test it a few times.
To share: Architect when certify the handling of vacant procession will only check whether the construction is already completed as according to building spec, layout plans and laws but won’t inspect for any defects or poor workmanship quality. Defects inspection (before hand over to buyers) is the job of developer.
Yes, Malaysia developer house quality is generally poor.
I saw the SPA diagram did show a drain for the backyard. And I would say the house need one badly
TNB meter can’t be installed until a concrete slab is placed in front of the meter housing. DNP sorting it out
@SL
So in this case, DNP needs to rectify this and provide evidence that there are drainage there or rectify it?
Anyone pursued or questioned DNP already?
I have logged my feedback to them. The rest kindly do so in order to gain quicker respond from the developer. Else.. They will delay further and the excess water will cause the house foundation to weaken.
Just curious, how did the show house installed TNB meter ? If they had placed the concrete slab in front of the meter housing for show house, then, it means they should know already ma !! – Must hammer them lah for handling over VP without this concrete slab (violate VP clause per SNP).
Not sure about the show house installation procedure.
But now TNB installed the meter… For several house too. So not sure what TNB and DNP had nego.
SL, the meter still not installed to all units yet?
@SL
Ok, good to hear that, at least there is some good progress.
@Chocolate
Chocolate, only those that apply for electric supply will have their meter installed
All buyers, pls take a round to your home now!
Half of Saujana Indah is under flooded, my 4wd almost stall in the middle of flood.
We should give more pressure to DNP to solve the problem!
JH1 and JH2 no flood but pity Saujana Indah folks there, their taman already a flood-prone area due to lower level ……….but now becomes worse with muddy water flooded, likely from JH area, flowing down muddy water to their taman ……
Chocolate, you really work hard lah, rains or shines, 😀
Heheh..i able to go the site 4 times per day (if i want la).
I hope DNP can also help the surrounding area not only their own project in JH1 and JH2..I heard MPSP going to issue “stop work” order to DNP if they keep stubborn.
Not only Saujana Indah, Impian Ria area also affected badly last weekend.
Is there any JH owner which has started to renovate their home? Is the club house in progress?
Addition info for BM house buyer who never stay at alma before. Even the flood dint reach your house, dont get too happy, during heavy rain n flood, u still not able to drive ur car out to work, or drive back home from work. If unfortunate, car will soaked in middle of road
Went there again..:)
Some buyers already move in to JH1. Club house still have to wait long i reckon.
I’m coming back next week to view the house… has there been alot of people moving in already?
Anyone has any good electrician to recommend?
I went to do some inspection n talked to a neighbour a few roads away. The neighbour mentioned that the JH semi d will not be guarded. The guard is there just to protect dnp asset.
My thought is different, dnp advised me before i purchase house that it will be a guarded community. So i believe at one point, the residents need to set up committee to manage the guard facility and misc management.
Also, i notice that there are two entrance to the area. How is the security able to be ringfenced with two access points.
Anyone can advise furtger on their understanding?
Is there also any plan being told to control jh access?
Refer to the master plan, there are 3 entrance to access to phase 1.
I can not see any different whether guarded or not if the guard like BM Utama..Anyone also can go into the area without single question. So what for?
Saw most units has their front TNB meter concrete slab installed
@Chocolate
one of the reason i buy jesselton hill is that the place is guarded. if it is not happening, i am not sure about you all, i really feel cheated.
Who has applied for the water? I have applied mine but they still have not install anything yet as it has been for a week. Did any of you experience a long waiting time as well?
The guards are doing well there, not to worry, at least another 3 to 5 years before all the phases complete. Not a big deal as buyers can hire themself if the guard is lousy.

Let see any buyer ? It’s not going to be easy to sell unless this buy is from
Penang.
I have not sold one for the fact that is not my occupation.
The fact is very simple, if you want a nice modern looking semi-d or terrace house, nicely designed and well laid, in a guarded community with clubhouse access and part of the big township, that is the price you pay. All other new gated guarded etc concept are selling at such price as well. Maybe a little cheaper outside DNP as so far DNP properties are the most strategic in Alma already.
If you want a cheaper terrace, can look at the older houses, built along with other 50 houses and it is a Taman itself already. Those house that was built in 2000 can be sold at twice the original selling price already.
So yes, 600k for a terrace house that is big and with many features is possible for new property. Subsale will continue to catch up. All at the sake of the rapid development of BM and Alma. So better hope Alma will soon come with a cinema, police station, more eateries, more malls (for Kulim visitors too).
Also beneficial if developers in Alma continue to transform Alma into a medium to high end residential area- remote from penang island.
Tesco, Aeon & McD chose to come to Alma. This says everything about the potential of this place. Do expect a jump in population here, as it is circled as future main residential area by the local government.
BM is a self-sustained town with high population, and is supported by job opportunities and various surrounding industrial parks including Kulim Hi-Tech Park. I think property in Alma will do well.
Alma may not be a very well-established area in term of property investment, esp compared to island & Bworth. Buying in island & Bworth is like buying blue chips in stock market, higher price but lower risk & has good return.
Buying in places like Alma/Tambun is like buying a small cap growth stock. It’s cheaper, higher risk and you may lose. But if it is successful, then it will give higher return. Those who can see something that others cannot see (or refuse to see) or those who act fastest will be rewarded.
So far property price in both island & mainland may have increased at the same pace. But once the price hit the temporary ceiling in the island, price in certain mainland locations may play catch-up, as there will be more happenings and jobs in mainland. But it still will not reach island’s level. Just my opinion.
Not sure why some people are so hang up with other person’s comments. Everyone has their own say… Keep your bad thoughts to yourself
@BD
Strongly Agree!!!
Absolutely right.
I wouldn’t agree with you that I’m trying my luck. I took calculated risk when it comes to investing my money. While I agree that JH is not cheap, I disagree that most people will prefer Butterworth area.. evident from high buying rate and occupancy in BM.
It is a known and obvious fact that Penang properties are generally more expensive than that of mainland areas.
Anyway, another fact is that BM is developing rapidly. Maybe @mainland you were thinking that one day all BM folks ran out of luck and decided to relocate to Butterworth and Penang, thus making BM a dead town…so that’s a very unlikely failure…
Hello! Everyone, I am not sure if the one that comments here are owners or brokers or DNP ppl or observers. Anyway, I would like to propose that the owners should find a way to gather and discuss on the current issue at Jesselton hills. Uncertainty such as guarded/ security, clubhouse, etc should be discussed there.
Maybe Christmas or chinese new year gathering?
Who would like to organise it?
I am happy to be part of it however could not take the lead as I am not working in Penang.
Sounds like a really good idea. I will be interested to take part of the gathering. Anyone else?
I am phase 2 owner and willing to join too if possible..lao jua lao jua also good.
Looks like Tom is the owner from Sabah. I heard…
Doesn’t look like it as I am not from Sabah…I just can’t return to BM this X-mas due to holiday plans and CNY as well due to work. But I do suggest folks, especially Chinese, to go and light up fire crackers on first day CNY (bring Ong in lol) and then gather on the second or third day evening to ice break among neighbours. Then sooner we can all get started with forming a committee.
Apology for having more words than actions but it is a constrain for me at the moment to be back…
Let’s do a gathering then.
If you all don’t mind, owners can email me those available dates and time at jhills128@gmail.com, I can try to sort some dates out based on everyone’s inputs.
Meanwhile we could ask other owners over there who might missed this forum.
By the way, I have just submitted my complaint for version 1 (there will be 2nd version coming) and i was told that DNP will build the drain at the back and in front just like the S&P.
My last trip there, I notice that the barrier made between Taman Saujana has been wracked I suppose by the residence there. I also notice that the gates has been moved after phase 1 entrance.
I like the idea to gather and fire cracker thing … lets do it!
DNP already re-install the gate in Tmn Saujana Indah entrance, but this time not the scissors type, the barrier is push-pull by wheel.
Good job!
My family member helped me to do inspection and queried DNP about the water flooding issue in the yard area. DNP replied that it is like this already.
Now that you have mentioned in the S&P and that DNP will commit to fixing the drainage around the house building, I want to raise it up as well (through my family again of course).
I hope it last and the security management will be able to take a good care of the assets (including the gate itself). I really don’t want to see where DNP just give up to the persistence of local community (or unscrupulous people) damaging the gate.
Where can we get the crackers from? =)
Backyard drainage has being installed by developer. Now need to monitor if it still flood during rain
Every unit installed?
Hi all.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (in advance)!
Is this being installed for all units or just specificly your unit SL?
CK, Tom,
Saw most unit has it being installed; didn’t drive around to confirm if all units has it.
seems that quite some amount of people moving in ahead for CNY already…

Anyone knows when they will build the clubhouse ?
Beauty and uniformity of jesselton hills tarnished as owners start doing the major renovation!
I noticed that too! Especially the one in first row of 2.5 storey extending building space and totally change the facade.
Another ugly one is the 2 storey in behind which painted the column in purple color..wtf!
But this is individual title property so we can not say much, just hope they renovate nicely and tastefully.
is like that la, individual title ma… let them do it since they got $$$$ ma. better buy strata title la.
hey! What is the problem here, i have my own taste and its my house. Furthermore its my money
Are you a owner?
Uncle, which is yours? The purple one? Then sorry la..
uncle lim.. don’t get piss off with comment from people. if you think you are doing what you like.. ignore comment from people…. they can’t see thing you can see.. …relax…. by the way, you sound like those China “土豪“. Welcome to JH
Some owners do massive renovation but maintain the color and concept even if they have did some major changes on certain area. Some at least acceptable but I also found a few Which change almost the whole concept and design.
Jesselton should be place under stata title.
By the way, money do not rule uncle lim
Any owner willing the share the experience regardless good or bad after obtaining OC for 6 months?
Yes, I would like to know as well. How is the build quality so far? From outside, looks good lar.
The good
1. Good finishing/ workmanship
2. Design (external)
3. Support/ customer service
The Con
1. High variance on drawing vs actual measurement (about 1 feet)
2. Essential item not provided (gutter at the back)
3. Potential major piping issue
4. Slow development on the parks/ club house
5……
1 feet different is a lot!
What about the piping issue?
Low water pressure. 1st rework found cement and sand. Still low, ask to rework again, they use the shower fitting say the pressure is OK. Actually still the same if we use water heater as there is more resistance for water heater.
For actual measurement, do you remember to include the walls thickness ? Wall shared with neighbour, just divide the measurement by two. If still short-changed, there is a provision in SnP stated per sqft pricing to claim compensation fr developer.
@Tan
The discrepancy of measurement is on which area?
