Another dog passby and urinates….
I saw this dog salvaged rubbish in other forums. Just ignore this poor dog as dogs instinct are like that.
@Hikato
They could be the same dog with different name tag urinating everywhere.
For those who keep said about tsunami hits P3 area in the past, please do more research and provide some proven data to us.we really appreciate that.
As what i know from local people there, tsunami wave only hit along the coast of Balik Pulau. The water just flows into the area before the small bridge.(there is a small bridge from the coast to P3)
There is no huge wave impact at that area.
Here is the link which I can get from internet. But still I couldn’t get any info about tsunami hit P3 area, jalan bahru (if its really happen,sure got news came out since there got resident in the past.)

Effects of Tsunami in Every States
In Penang, the affected areas were along the coast of Balik Pulau, Pasir Panjang, Teluk Bahang, and Batu Feringgi. It was found that the mangrove forest areas did not experience any destruction except for a minimal effect on the saplings of “Lenggadai”, “Nyireh” and others which were affected by the tidal wave and current that flooded the forest areas. It was reported that 52 people were killed while 206 others were injured in Penang and thus recorded as the highest fatality in Malaysia due to the tsunami incident. A total of 2,486 fishermen and 86 farmers suffered loss in the aftermath of the tsunami.
@checkout
I am not agent or developer, but owner
@checkout
My advice to you is if you is a serious buyer who plan to buy at there, then you better go to survey yourself, in stead of keep asking or listen to people at here. Sharing at here is just for your references, the actual fact you still need to look at your self.
Just a sharing to you, before i decided to buy, i got done some survey there. The people that stay at there for few generation not scare for the Tsunami, then what you worry for? Also from the survey result, when Tsunami, the river water will flow out to the road side only as it not a sea, so is low impact.
Buy house at BP, is mainly to enjoy the peaceful environment. Also i viewed the show unit and actual house, the material that PLB used is really a good quality material. You can go and see by your own eye if not believe. You have to convenience yourself by look into the actual condition, environment, unit if you really want to stay there. This is just what i can share with you. No any hard feeling ya.
@pap
We have to learn how to respect people. For sure people will have their own thinking when they raise out any question or comments. No hard feeling ya…..
@tan
I viewed Tamun Indah previously, is a quite good project. For own stay, you can consider. For invest, my advice to you is please buy Island area.
@Landard
Actually Prestige III not bad. But its a bit ulu from Balik Pulau town. I think Palmyra or Botanica CT is better in terms of location. Looking at the huge river/monsoon drain also give me the creeps. Of course the tsunami still very fresh in my mind.
Access road during peak hour very jam especially the Teluk Kumbar area. Hilly area very dangerous for driving especially raining season and will jam too during peak hour.
I would advice any buyer to buy only in higher plain area and also nearer to Balik Pulau town.
@Concern buyer
Agree with your advice. But Palmyra house majority have leakage issue (my 1st view to 4 units, all leakage). Botanica CT is better, but if you view it carefully, you will see that the main road is much higher that house. This will definitely face flood issue during raining season, and it also near hill side.
Prestige III is not very far away from BP town area is you already familiar the place. My 1st impression when i go there, i have the same impression as you said. But when i drove few times, then i feel that is not much different. For sure, this all is depend to the buyer. Some will feel not much different, some will feel is very far……
BP good for own stay, to invest,stay away, unless for SST in P3. SST owner can easily get profit if they sale back once OC obtained. Until now, people come to this project side, asking any availability for SST – even though sold out almost two years ago. So far, 2 units still available for DST…looking for buyer.
I like a bit ulu place, big taman good for my kids. No worries, no regret to buy here. just a matter of time.
Hi, all. received letter from plb to ask for 5% for the completion of building road. it is going to get our keys very soon….
Yes.june or july will get oc,maybe august get key
@pp
I just called this morning, probably can get the keys in latest by Sep. Any planning on when to move in?
hmm, ada ganti rugi ka ?
I don’t think got people moving in. Mostly all balik pulau buyer are investor. You see a lot of empty houses.
True, most of owner waiting for potential buyer. Will be empty like other project in BP. However, I will be moving in by end of d year. Lucky for SST, lot of potential buyer out there, easily can get money.
@bob
Got meh? A lot of new properties in Balik Pulau vacant meh?
This means you never go survey in Balik Pulau.
@Concern buyer
Mind to tell us which new properties in BP are vacant for over a year? Looks like I may miss out survey in certain area in BP 😀 From what I knw, at least 50% new properties in BP occupied in a year (possible certain people need reno or save $ for furniture).
I bought is for my own stay. So definitely i will move in
@Landard
me too.I like peaceful life there.For food wise,i’m not choosy and I never worry about supper too because thr lots of malay and mamak stall in BP
hahaha…what a question…palmyra, half vacant, orchadia, only 3-5 units occupied, botanica, half occupied, nyaman indah, less than half occupied….name me all taman in BP, definitely half of more than half are vacant. unless old taman when people bought it for less than 200k 10 years ago.
go check property guru for more understanding.
come to BP, i will show you. its my hometown!
@bob
Hopefully this new town will be “ONG” with the coming of apartment, shop lots & supermarket there.. Fingers crossed..
The Developer’s collection from bank is up to 80% as to date. So need to wait for the balance of 20% collection,then only release OC.
If houses were to be delivered in Sept then the developer must pay the overdued handover. What I knew some buyers signed the S&P in June 2012 and some even in May 2012. Normally any developer for late delivery,a cheque payment(compensation) MUST be attached together with the keys handover, and this is a SOP.
Thank you Mr Robert Tan.
How I wish more people are like you, sharing useful and informative fact/news instead of telling their unsolicited opinions on Batu Kawan, this and that.
@Robert Tan
Yes. I checked with the sale respective, they will pay for this.
Based on RM468K purchasing price.
-8% penalty per annum (12 Months) : RM37 440
-1 month: RM3120
-If S&P signed in May 2012 and OC in August 2014: 3 months delay
-3 months X RM3120: RM9360
The above amount should be sufficient for Grill Installation & Basic CCTV/alarms.
@Steven
Is 10%. Confirmed with their official
according to standard snp, the penalty is 10% per annum of the purchase price.
will be RM128.219 per day.
Very soon we are all friends, if we do not share our findings and information ,help each other,then who else can help us ?
I wish to repeat that buying property in the BP/P3 is always a winner because:-
1) BP/P3 is IN the island
2) 2nd bridge link. Indicating both governments are VERY keen to develope BP, Sungei Pinang & Teluk Bahang.
3) Roads are widening and straigthening from Batu Maung onwards.
4) BP is in the middle of Bayan Lepas FTZ and Teluk Bahang tourist distinations, a very POTENTIAL area to be developed,that is a good Fung Shui place. Which locations in the mainland got such good strategic Fung Shui ?
5) As regard to tsunami, Prestige3 is a solid land far away from the sea as compared to some
Penang famous housing locations (sorry cannot mention which)that use vast reclaimed land.
And last, fyi I am not agent for any establishments and like you,I am just a buyer in P3.
Hi Everyone,
Small kaki here looking at the Medium Low Apartment.
Have all of the units been sold out?
Saw an advertisement of one unit selling (Subsales) at 268K, but not sure this is a good price or any other original unit left?
Thanks
TAN
I sign S & P on 12 August ? Don’t know can get how much ?
@weng
Normally the developer would send out a letter to house owner to notify collecting house keys. The date of the letter is the date that delivery of house counts. For example, the date of the notification letter is 2nd of August, then your liquidation damage will be 128.20, for one day.
@Robert Tan, @PP,
very thanks for this valueable info, i believe alot here benefit from it.
thanks
sorry, should be notification letter dated 13th august, then you entitle to get 128.20.
should it be s&p sign date or s&p stamping date?
I have checked with lawyer, the normal practice is they will compensate soemthing for us rather than pay us money. (example free maintenance for 1 year but we are landed property ……..)
Let’s wait and see what will come true. And whatever it is
we will gain soemthing for sure.
If to follow snp then the developer must pay penalty in terms of money at 10% per annum of the purchase price. the date is follow snp date.
What is the process to claim the compensation ?
Need advise.
I think not only for the compensation, we should pay more attention to the defects that found in the car porch and backyard wall for rectification works due to developer only did minor touch up that wont last longer.
How the developer do the defect, we cant really do much till we get our respective keys and check accordingly. But compensation we can.
When we get the key, we may need to trigger to the inspector on any defect found within 14 days. After that they will start the repairing within 14 days too. That day i checked my unit, not much defect, besides the car porch
But i believe the developer will complete all the complaints. Also i feel confidence to this developer as the reputation is quite good on it. The material that provided also are good quality material. If all of you do see the door lock, you will know that the door lock is cost almost Rm250 per pc and the door itself almost Rm2k.
My S&P signed and stamped in April 2012. Price: RM468K
I will not accept even if the legitimate compensation is 1cent less.
The reason is simple, developer will charge penalty if bank release is delayed , developer will not release key during OC if you pay 1cent less.
If your lawyer ask you to accept something else like free air conds, fruit baskets, you can complain to Bar Council for misrepresentation of your legal rights.
Housing Tribunal, ADUN service center, etc so many options.
Correct! They cannot compensate the delayed delivery by other forms except cash money, and this compensation SHOULD attached together with the handover of keys. There is NO such thing as pay later or some other days( Like manager not around,the cheque no body signed.This is just lame excuses.)Remember,keys plus compensation.The compensation is calculated on DAILY basis.For calculation,refer to pp’s message dated on 17-May-2014.
As for defects, if not major structural faults,most developers practise comestic repair only. For major defects,like can see through crack , government should involve.
I dropped by the site last week. The work progress of the houses (sst) seems to be satisfying. the developer has had changed the tiles (due to land sinkage problem, the joint in between vertical and horizontal tiles were widen in car pouch) and put up whitish substance to cover the drop level of sinkage at the back of the building. Apart of this, the ceiling of car pouch area also has leakage problem and the developer already fix it. the crack on the wall also had been done. The worker by then was busy to touch up the painting at the car porch. The road was still under laying tar progress.
As far as i know, the developer will not issue cheques to the houseowners on the same day of handover although she pays the liquidation damages according to snp (and this is no interest impose).
Normally house owners no need to do anything but just wait (to receive compensation). Unless the developer does not want to compensate according to snp, house owners then have to file claims to the corresponding bodies.
@Kenneth
Mine too s&p signed in april but stamped in early may…
I just wait to sign
Huat Ah !
All roads got names,e.g.Lorong Prestij 1,11000,Balik Pulau., or Solok Prestij 1,11000,Balik Pulau and so on……expect OC soon.
Good…… Finally
Feng Shui Master< Joey Yap says fortune was shifting to the southwest side of Penang island or Balik Pulau
Below is a report on Property Talk:
"CURRENT and future buyers of Botanica.CT Garden Township will continue to be surrounded by good fortune for the next 20 to 40 years, according to renowned feng shui consultant Datuk Joey Yap.
"He made the remark when he arrived at the launch of Botanica.CT’s Botanica 4 show villas to give a talk on Sunday.
"He also claimed that fortune was shifting to the southwest side of Penang island or Balik Pulau where the garden township was located."
@LH
Thank you for the good sharing. No matter whether we believe in Feng Shui or not, I am sure this comment indeed make us the purchasers of Prestige 3 feel good.
Actually, the material used for the houses are of good quality. I have checked with my contractor. I remember reading The Edge’s interview with the owner of this company.
The company only paid RM13/sq ft for the land last time which is cheap.
That’s why they are generous with the good quality material and offered at affordable selling price at RM468K for a Double Storey Freehold House.
To put things into perspective how cheap is that, for example- the vast land around 2nd Penang Bridge at Main Land transacted at RM50/sq ft.
Ivory paid RM250/sq ft for the land for the current Penang World City Project.
That’s why a standard no-room 12th Floor studio 455sq ft with 1 car park is sold at RM512K, I saw this with my own eye in their sales gallery at Bayan Mutiara.
Gentleman, no matter how people criticize or pour ice water, we should not bother as we really get a good deal.
And I believe this developer is a trustworthy and they have generated a lot of good-will with their involvement with reviving abandoned project- Paya Terubung Majestic .
Therefore, I have faith they will honour the compensation payment.
Buy and invest island property and you will not go wrong.
@janet
Depend lor. If near Tsunami, very sked lar.
@Concern buyer
Please show some proven info and data before talking any shit here. I really wish to see any photo of tsunami hit P3 area during 2004 tsunami. For P3 owner, no need to worry about tsunami,just very simple question to those people who keep say tsunami, how many times that tsunami happen in the past? once a year or once every 10 yrs? or once every 100yrs??? please use your brain to think or butt to think(if u don’t have brain) cheers~~~
Owners, just ignore and don’t response to the comments from some keyboard warrior. This kind of ppl is always the loser in life. They can dream they are successful and keep telling ppl how terror he is and how bad for others.
@ng
Better be safe than sorry right? I buy higher land in Balik Pulau lor. I think Botanica.CT is on higher land.
I’m just telling the truth mah. You see the area. Manyak scary wor. And the elevation around 6m~7m above sea level. I think safer to buy >20m elevation like the BotanicaCT.
@Concern buyer
u got your point,so please make your chat in botanica 5 there, here is P3 u chat in wrong area (If u still not get what I meant). If u can give a fact and proven data, i think most of the P3 owner will appreciate that. At least they can do some prevention if tsunami hit again (seems like tsunami happen very often :D)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_tsunamis
Here is the history of all tsunami happened in the past. If u free, please check “indian ocean tsunami” and see how many times happen in the history. Just to remind u, the tsunami hit Aceh and Penang had earthquake moment magnitue of 9.1–9.3. which means, if P3 need to get hit by tsunami, it needs above 9.3 magnitude of earthquake and happen exactly in the deep of indian ocean floor.
Anything you said if said with bad/negative intention, over & over again, repeated many times , eventually will become your habit. Jealousy, sour grapes, hatred, etc.
I have observed you, in any forum, you will find faults, provoke……..
You, yourselves doesn’t know, as you already overwhelmed with negative energy.
All these will do you no good.
If you wish to be successful and attract good luck, you must be benevolent, noble & kind in words & means. That is fundamental first, don’t talk about charity if you could not even stand/see others’ joy. Let alone rejoice.
Just like Law of Gravity, if you doesn’t believe it exists, doesn’t mean you are not subjected to falling down.So is, Law of Karma. Think about it, pal.
Thumb up! Well said.
Look at P5 quality before you putting hope on P3.
P5 ok,same goes to prestige heights.d only prob with P5 is rented to foreigner
P5 is fundametally good as it near to FTZ and but the bad it is attract undesirable neighbours, ie foreign workers to stay. it is non-G&G and you cannot stop it.
P3 somehow good in the sense foreigner unlikely go there to rent. so unlikely you face problem like those in Batu Maung.
You sound like a good buddhist. But Buddhist also said that we need to tell the truth in the thing we said. So if you keep quiet, that is karma too. Let’s hope you didn’t hide any truth or else when tsunami come, you will be getting bad karma for 3 generations.
But you have problem nobody staying next to you. Very creepy.
I prefer nobody staying next to me rather than having bad neighbours.
@Concern buyer
The ways you give comment doesn’t sound like giving kind reminder or opinion to others.
There is a different between giving kind reminder or facts for consideration and cursing others.
@oat
It was a reminder based on buddhism karma. Not cursing.
@Concern buyer
please do ur homework and show as those proven data about tsunami hit P3 area in the past.
Those owner will appreciate it. There is a primary school exactly opposite P3. If there really happened tsunami, I’m sure news already came out in newspaper. Means u can get those info easily just by google search. Just use ur brain to think again before make any comment which doesn’t make sense and show how low IQ u have.
He is just trying to create havoc here! If he really bought the Botanica,then he should be more concentrating over there rather than like “old chick p*^^@” put the nose here. In fact he never buy anything in the island.Out of envious,hatred,disappointed,wicked and that is what HE is trying to curse maliciously every now and then.
I used Google Map to see Balik Pulau.
Can view the whole Prestige3 from eagle view!
Previously, can see only 3 show houses, now the completed Semi-D,Double Storey, Single Storey and of course the landscaped garden- the size of football field.
I also went to check the houses especially the row at which my unit is located. I smiled a lot and show respect to the workers
Quality is good , Good material is used like expensive Solid Door.
The Indonesian worker said ” rumah bapak elok” showing his thumb-up
I wondered how the developer managed the cost as it is only RM468K , perhaps it is like what our friend said, the company bought the land cheap. Or , other developers are going after big profit margins.
The company is also generous with allocation of land for the big landscaped garden, could have built few more rows of Houses to optimize profits.
Eager and excited to move-in.
@Robert Tan
Yes haha…. Looks like he miss the boat and keep curse everyone inside the boat for not waiting him. Keep spread negative fake info to scare everyone and wish the boat captain will drive the boat back to let him get into the boat. 😀
I think you should go check out the distance of the sea to this project. And then also checkout the sea level of this project. I just give reminder. Its better to have more people give opinion right?
Not true. I do have properties in Penang island. As a matter of fact, I have 3. But I make sure that they are at higher elevation land for landed property. As for condo, mine is at sea side. So yeah, I just give my opinion on how I buy my properties.
Sometimes it is good that it is far away from good location area or FTZ, I also preferred if no neighbours as you can get more car parking area .
But not too empty whole taman please. Should be at least 70% occupied.
It is one km away from the sea with lots of tree act as wall. The one that should worry should be those from strait key… Concern buyer, please provide proper concern instead of unnecessary fear to genuine buyer.
@Concern buyer
Yes, it is good to have opinion but, talking crab and give funny opinion is like a clown here. U r worry something that is doesn’t need to be worry because u don’t even have science,geography knowledge. P3 is an affordable and good project, for other project in BP, some of them was former cemetery (not good to talk which project). Just do more homework and u may earn more than what u expected. If P3 really happen tsunami, I guess North of indonesia already gone case (2004 indian ocean is the 3rd largest earthquake in the history). Wish this will not happen else many people die.
Hopefully more than 50 houses be occupied for me to apply for streamyx service
Or else difficult for me to do business there.
Okay, here is my opinion about tsunami.
1. P3 definitely expose to tsunami risk because it is facing open sea. BP is more exposed compare to strait quay. The light is ok because facing dead sea.
2. Depend on how disastrous the tsunami is. Those worst one can make up until 5km inland.
3. Now, the question how much is the risk? 1 in 100, 200, or 500, or 1000 years? It’s all back to risk taking.
@bob
have u join P3 fb group, u can create comment about streamyx application and see how many owner there is interested.
A concern is a concern. Doesn’t mean it will be happen. For Strait Quay, they say will build an island to protect Strait Quay. But they will build house on the island pulak. Developer are really bad people.
Wow, less than RM500K for a freehold Double Storey House.
Good quality, big landscaped garden.
Teluk Kumbar road widening project in progress
Going to get plus minus RM10K cash late delivery charges to buy the latest HD curve TV
No wonder so many sour grapes took emergency leave to release their jealousy , hatred, etc
Don’t be surprised some one claim Volcano will erupt soon , Balik Pulau most risky as there are more mountains ….
Yeah right, Tsunami will hit as there are near to sea? Funny
How about this:
The Noah Ark will harbor there first during Big Flood, good for P3 residence, we are saved first
Sorry resend ——Run your google map and you will understand. BP is facing open sea, correct. But the volcano line is block by Indonesia. So the strong tsunami will be coming from the north and will first hit North part of Island. It will of course hit BP but with weaker strength. Again look at Google map and you will understand.
@gary
Agree with u. Some people lack of science and geography knowledge that’s why they can think wrongly. Yet they lazy to do research but just simply put their own thought and feel they r correct.
@kenneth123
I like ur comment haha….
“Don’t be surprised some one claim Volcano will erupt soon , Balik Pulau most risky as there are more mountains ….”
1 hit KO those clown.
Nowadays, google can answer everything.
Everyone can be geologist, astronaut, doctor, CIA, scientist, property guru, etc…..
Google a bit here a bit there, can say other people stupid. Funny.
Just common sense
To be fair to P3, I personally think the risk is low and worth to take.
@chicken floss bread
If someone is telling the fact with proven data, will other people able to say he/she stupid? Think twice before make any nonsense comment.
To be honest, i don’t think that Tsunami will be happen there as i checked with my friend who stay there since he born. I just hope that those who really buy P3 there, go to do survey with the people there in stead of keep giving a nonsense rumors here.
Your opinion with data proven is much appreciate, but opinion with bull shit theory , please just keep in your brain and do not spread it out.
Before 26 Disember 2004 Tsunami hit us, anyone got proven data about 26 Disember 2004 tsunami that was going to hit us ? If before 26 Disember 2004 tsunami, I only buy higher elevation landed property, will I be safer?
Nonsense or not nonsense, you decide.
@Concern buyer
It looks like happen more often than tsunami hit Penang. Worry what u shd worry rather that worry that something it won’t happen.
I got what u mean. But u still unable to understand what I mean. P3 area never get hit by tsunami, that is the fact. That’s why I’m telling u to google it. About future, I personally inform u that better take care your asset before next economy crisis happen
Yah yah yah..u have 3, but i have 5! How stupid!
hahahah..I really can not tahan to reply your bullshit.
Sorry resend –You know what is land slide? It happen more frequent then tsunami in Malaysia. Anyway I’m not asking you to move away but just to let you feel the comment you make
whatever negative point here, houses in P3 are almost sold out, only 2 left. for people cari makan like me, no other choice, stay in P3 and keep praying everyday from any disaster.
Nope. I don’t buy at slope. I just said higher elevation land. How to landslide at flat land?
I like again!! Just ignore the nonsense and useless comments..He just too free in front the PC and do nothing.
@conern buyer
since u r so hoh liao, which properties u own? or just talk nia?
@Concern buyer Read about ulu klang and ringlet
Cameran landslide. Those are so call man make elevated flat land.
@Concern buyer BTW, if landslide happen, your unit will be less then 50% even it is not at the slope. Refer to ulu klang case.
Hehe……Prestige III this type of remote jungle project also got flippers ah? Think you guys will have to die a slow death now.
Hehe……Prestige III this type of remote jungle project also got flippers ah? Think you guys will have to get stuck with it now.
Please check with the Chinese primary school teachers ( opposite the P3 project) or better still the Chinese temple very near to the sea at the far end,for any tsunami. Never base anything on fallacious assumptions or any personal taste, lets talk FACTS. If I never bought the P3 house, I am also support those who bought. What worry me is due to fast development,bound to have flood and traffic congestion very soon.
P3 post top the chart!
@saucy <— hahaha… another concern Buyer in the making.
@coffee
Few possibilities of “popularities”
1) Envy people: possibly neighboring BP projects?
2) Buyers in PIII are lucky as they are quite free even on work days (mainly FTZ people?)?
3) Buyers have to defend the weaknesses?
4) Outsiders with “good heart” to advice?
5) Potential buyers drive down the price?
others??
Have lots of funs playing on both sides!
I really admire Mr.Concern Buyer the capabilty to aquire 3properties. MY sincere congratulations and compliments.BTW, looks like you are the angel send over to the island to save P3 buyers from tsunami attacks,what a wonderful and magnificient job,GREAT!You spend so much time and effort on non-value added and irrevlevant issues to help us, you are really extraordinary!
But reading all your previous messages,it is TOO GOOD to be believed.
@Robert Tan
that fall under possibility no. 4 i mentioned.
I’m actually bought at natural elevated flat land.
dont care what people say, counting days to go and stay there….hope will get the key in the next two months.
@Robert Tan
that fall under possibility no. 4 i mentioned…hahahah
Hi Ladies & Gentleman,
Sorry for interrupt. Understand from the previous post that Prestige III have an close group for residents / owners. May i know how to join?
Just bought an DST early this yr (phase 2 last few units), S&P signed on March 2014.
Thanks
I hav a unit over there. Single storey.
and Wish to rent out.
My email. tstan8_8@yahoo.co.uk
I hav a single storey over there wish to rent out.
tstan8_8@yahoo.co.uk
@matt
Only left 2? which?
How much is the rental in P3?
hi all, i have few comment here and hope i am right and wish for good comment feedback,
1) first , wish not to get OC fast base on current quality issues because if rush then they will simply solve it (may be just surface) so that they can tipu the authority to approve for CCC.
2) if real problem no solve, we move (sure will do renovation) will it void the warranty ?
3) if at the end they push to us and say the defect is due to our own reno, then die hard la, all defect we need to telan our self alrd
hope my concern is valid and wish some one to share a good feedback here…thx
Rental at most rm500 p/m
All:
This forum is for those owner and potential onwer to share and care of the progress of it.
So i will aways ignore those statement/ question not not related to this project
@bob
Are you serious RM500 at most? serious negative cash flow.
2 bedroom flat in BJ, Sg 2 also sometimes hard to get with RM500 (unless high floor walk up)
Balik Pulau mah, what do you expect? You’d be lucky to even find a tenant for RM500/month. Just the other day, I overhead 3 guys at a coffee shop, talking about the rows and rows of empty houses in Balik Pulau.
500 for Single sty
Hi, im new buyer in Prestige III.
Hi, i m one of the Phase 2 DST buyer in Prestige III.
hi, new member here. i hv one unit DST in Prestige III
does anyone know when is the completion date?
U will b lucky to get tenant for 500.SST will b hot,DST definitely difficult to b rented. To b easy,offer to foreigner,which also hard as no factory there
@huh
1) the developer will handover the building as per scheduled( if possible) irrespective of customers’ requests.They have to take care their backside too!
2)nearly all developers practicse cosmetic repairs only,this is true even to VERY VERY VERY BIG company.Move around the big projects,you can see all are”SAMA-SAMA”!
3)unless structural faults require authority to take care,otherwise any defect answer same as #2. That is why secondhand houses fetch higher price(x n times!)
Ya make sense..no factory in bp unless they dont mind to travel.
But no one want to rent RM500 for half a million house due to 1 year later 6k cannot cover their repair cost after take back
I want sell my single storey house (will get oc soon
)at 488K.Please leave your email here.tq
For maintain the beauty countryside, hopefully factory will not in bp and bp travel to bayan lepas factory only 20-30min. It’s Ok for me.
20 to 30 mins only? do you mind to share the exact route you use?
@steven
Take speed boat from fishing village in BP to Teluk Kumbar, and then ask friend to fetch him there to office. Hahahahaha!
@kk
Factory in BP? You mean belacan factory is it? Hahahahaha!
@steven
Try yourself. From SMK Sungai Ara traffic lights to P3, it takes 30mins drive (unless u met turtle driver and not dare to overtake him). I tried before at 6pm+ weekdays after working hours (not friday) using relau route.
But for proper study the sample size should be much higher to make it more statistically accepted. Eg. Different days, and timing to get clearer picture.
Anyway, travelling little more is not a big issue to me…..the surroundings, immediate infrastructure, safety/security are among main priorities as it is meant to be family home.
@ng
I have tried myself bro, journey through the hill itself take average 13 mins (kaki bukit to kaki bukit). That’s y i am surprise @kk say 20-30 mins from BP house to Bayan lepas factory. Impossible. Teluk kumbar road also cannot, office hrs even worse for teluk kumbar. Tried already.
@steven
Yes, Relau kaki bukit till BP bus terminal (BP kaki bukit) need around 13mins. Around 8mins from BP bus terminal to P3. From these time taken, we can estimate there is 9mins left from relau kaki bukit to Bayan Lepas factory. Looks like not really happen unless it is weekend or the factory which near to snake temple.
@ng
With 9 mins budget, i would say weekend plus all traffic light switched off, then maybe possible. haha..
@steven
I guess he means from Bayan Lepas to BP bus terminal.
After 5pm, FTZ to BP via relau/teluk kumbar around 45min. morning even worse, i will say 1h during school session. I took around 30min today because school holiday, but using teluk kumbar route.
@bob
U r right. Those go to work at 8am may face heavy jam especially Relau route due to few schools nearby there.
Time is one thing, the major issue is the hilly road. Chances of accident very high. If you happen to have one big lorry in front, that’s it, just follow the bloody turtle. Lorry breaks down, that’s it, jam for hours.
Given a choice, 45 mins to BP vs 45 mins to Batu Kawan, I’d choose Batu Kawan anytime. Why? Coz you don’t have any bloody thing in BP. No modern civilization there! Only durians!
Whereas for Batu Kawan, many things are coming up. Ikea, Ikano, luxury factory outlet, cinemas, country club, theme park, university, modern jobs (not pluck durian ah), you name it, they will have it. Another Bandar Utama in the making.
my answer still BP. one lorry break down on penang bridge, jam for whole day! save money indeed, dont have to pay toll in BP hilly road.
I like BP, n to be honest i like quiet place like BP. Once BK developed like bandar utama, other problems will come, traffic jam, new highway with toll (like KIDEX…hahaha),more social problem….totally not good for my kids. so u get one of the answer
@steven
I stay in bp Genting and start work at 7am in phase 4 ftz. I went out everyday morning 6.20am from my house and reach my office around 6.45- 6.50 by using teluk kumbar route and permatang damar laut. My vehicle is motorbike.So say it’s OK for me and maybe for other people is differenct happened.
@ohkui
Batu kawan many cow sift leh, you mean another cow sift bandar utama in batu kawan……he…..he….he….
@ohkui
yes yes, everyday lorry breakdown – jam for hours and hours until now cannot move also. Batu Kawan always better, bridge no jam, no accident very smooth driving. Balik Pulau, no modern civilizition, some people still live in trees. Very very bad.
As Batu Kawan the best, what you doing posting here ? Should be millions of people rushing to Batu Kawan. At the end, seems like desperate attempt promoting. House cannot sell ah ?
Both place have their goods and bads, anyone buying property please do your own research.
You raised a good point here, sooner or later when most of us have kids, which recommened good quality Primary and Secondary Chinese Schools (something like Shih Chung, Union standard)?
How about good tuition centres there?
Any recommendations?
I not familiar in that area and definitely not rich sending them to International Schools.
@BatuKawanTheBest
Agree what u said.haha…..
some people too free to comment in other place forum and telling how good his decision and idea
@ohkui
I’m happy u move to batu kawan bcos there will be lesser turtle blocking the route to balik pulau since u unable to drive hill road. Good for your safety too. Anyway u forgot to count toll $. U also forgot to survey how frequent accident occur between pg bridge and balik pulau hill road, how many lorries use pg bridge compare to balik pulau hill road
Aiyoyo bro, use motorbike dont talk about travel time la.
@steven
Aiyoyo abang, u drive what sport car ?? How many hour you drive from bayan lepas to bp. 2 hour! 3hour?or 4 hour?
All houses have been numbered.OC to be issued in July 2014. Can celebrate Mid-authum festival in the new house.预祝各位中秋节快乐！
BTW, anybody noticed that the same type house selling with two different prices, Why? Some pay RM8k less !!!!!
@Robert Tan
Hopefully will be having TM at the same time, else will be suffer without internet.
@Kelvin
Streamyx not a big issue there.I checked with TM people, they said once u apply u just need to wait them for installation. Kuala Jalan Bahru & Jalan Bahru already got Streamyx, they just need to do wiring at new housing area.
Hi ng.
That’s what I have been hearing since 2 years ago when I first applied, and up until today, it is still not available.
@JJ
Have u make any complain to KL main office? U need to chase them to get their work done.
I guessed mostly are youngster buyers here?
no info on good Chinese schools to share ?
Hi,
Anyone can help to advice on the good Chinese schools there?
At least primary.
Hi,
Anyone can help to advice on the good Chinese schools there?
At least primary.
how is bp safety at night?
ISn’t it there is 1 Chinese primary school near by? Yeok Hua Primary School (育华学校), Kuala Jalan Bahru? Then there is another one, Chin Hua Chinese Primary School, Jalan Pantai Acheh. Or further away, Kwang Hwa Primary School, Sungai Nibong. For high school, there is Sacred Heart High School, Balik Pulau.
Do we have property salesmen from Batu Kawan among us? IMHO, those comments were bad sales tactics – they backfired. Go away please.
That’s a bit far if go all the way to Sg Nibong, prefer in BP.
Those BP schools mentioned, how is the quality?
Then how about daycare, after school tuitions?
i will not talk abt good quality of primary school, but will be serious when come to secondary school. in next 3 years, when my kid ready for primary school, i will send her to Yang Cheng primary school, teluk kumbar. new building under construction now in front of PUSPAKOM teluk kumbar. Easy, on my way to FTZ, can drop her there. or else, lot of primary schools in BP, not less than 5.
For secondary school, do u know there is one new secondary school under construction in sg tiram? Heng Ee High school, ready for intake in January 2016. Again on my way to work, will drop her there. I believe, Heng Ee will have good quality school system.
About the quality of Chinese primary schools in Balik Pulau, I cannot comment as I am not familiar with Balik Pulau area. If you don’t mind driving 30-45 min then Kwong Wah is a good choice.
There is another Chinese primary school that I left out earlier: Sacred Heart Primary School (Chinese). Main Road, 11000 Balik Pulau.
I suggest you check with the locals to get a better picture.
Here you are, a complete list of Chinese primary schools in Balik Pulau. Just call them if they provide day care and after school tuition.

@LH
Kwang Hwa just too far for kids to commute.
Didnt know BP have so many, Not bad in term of availabilties.
But which are the top 1 or 2 primary there? How’s the quality/ performance?
Any local BP people here to comment?
I have called up developer and confirmed that OC will be obtained in July. Mean they don’t want us to penalty them.
u mean even s&p signed in april still not valid for penalty?
@weng
I remember the launching of the project was in April 2012 and at that time some sales were done,anyhow they had DELAYED the project and should compensate accordingly. I went over the site noticed the outdoor electrical fixtures were fixed and autogate lamp wiring had been checked.This indicating we can have our homes very soon. BTW, next year GST going to implement, expect Barang Naik. As such advise to do any renovention fast.
SJKC YEOK HUA are top one chinese primary school at balik pulau.
@Robert Tan
Agree with u. Those who want to renovate better do it before April 2015 GST.
@balik pulau people
I heard that too. Because of the students per teacher there low so the teacher can concentrate to teach.
Quite surprise this project can get OC really soon. Hopefully no more crack issue there.
Anybody know, why the mosaic in the show house easily break? Previously semi-D got problem, now they try to fix same problem in DST house – all show house. just a bit curious, may this problem occurs to us once we obtain the key?
@ng
You are right. For small towns, usually the teachers to students ratio is very low. Same goes for all the chinese villages throughout malaysia.
However, it’s been proven the effectiveness of education is not about teachers to students ratio. It’s about the peers at school, social interactions, the competitiveness, extra-curriculum facilities and so on, that will prepare students for the new economy. “Jaguh Kampung” can no longer survive.
@matt
What had u seen in show house re-renovation, the main reason is not about the crack. The PLB boss reject the previous house renovation due to feng shui and some flaws of the design. Of course there will be some crack issue due to those 3 houses are the 1st build and many constructions work happen at nearby of them after that.
Thanks heaps! hopefully we can go n see the new design for that show house once ready.
True, that’s why I am spending more than RM100K to fully renovate a single storey terrace at Sungai Nibong area. All because of my kids, we want them to get a place at Kwong Hwa Primary school. A small comfortable house but near to the good school for our kids.
The double storey house that we bought at Balik Pulau is for the future, we hope the Teluk Kumbar rewidening road project will help to attract more people and development. We do not want to be left out if indeed Balik Pulau were to become the new Bayan Baru area.
If not as expected, so be it, we already factored-in the risk. Our kids can inherit the freehold house. After all, RM468K can hardly get you a good big condo at establish location in Penang Island anyway.
@Steven
sounds like a wise plan.
But what r u goin to do with this BP house now?
weekend home or rent out?
Doesn’t sound economical if depend on potential future appreciation alone. Perhaps any better idea?
@r
There’s pretty much nothing you can do with that house. Balik Pulau? Impossible to have someone to rent it even at a very low rental. Just let it collect dust.
@Steven
Sound like a good plan.
@abc
u deserve one word, brilliant! Nowadays, both property and our kids are investment. And you’re doing a great job here by investing in a such great pathway for both of them. If not both, at least u get back one. cheers
the house price is going up again next year again..now most of Selangor new double storey already sell 750-900k.. i think BP house price will go up very soon
sorry, it should be long to @Steven
May i know when can we get the house key ?
@Steven
When r u going to move to BP, and sell your Sg Nibong house?
Very hard to find a reasonable price and reasonable condition.
If i am in steven shoes,i will not move not.wait until all my kids finish their school.n also if i’m affordable.u have such a wonderful place in sg nibong
Talking without pride or arrogance.
We will stay in our small terrace house in Sungai Nibong for our kids to attend the nearby school. Nevertheless, We will still renovate our Prestige 3 House for our own usage with basic furniture, appliances etc.
And no plan to sell landed properties in Island. Most probably, the kids will get to keep the houses. The landscape gardens at Prestige 3, the drive-up to Balik Pulau at 6pm to 7pm will give you breath-taking views, quiet towns, Durian Orchards, etc , those few reasons are good enough for you to keep both.
And most important, my grand children will have bragging rights 30 years later, telling their friends how their grandfather bought the house at only RM468K.
By that time, probably, the house price will reach a level beyond our imagination just like how unbelievable to know that Wantan Noodle cost only 5cent last time.
To compensate for our small single storey house in Sungai Nibong, we also book a small apartment at the nearby Tropicana Bays Residence (Penang World City) to gain access to the clubhouse facilities, swimming pools, etc in 3 years. This project has the most number of pocket gardens, space for the kids to bicycle around, play around in the evening.
Nowadays, everything is planned for the kids. How lucky they are if compared to our childhood last time.
If for me, i will hold a family meeting to decide move or not to move to bp. School in bp good or bad depends on students. For me, any school is the same as long as convenient to yourself.
Advise not to vaccant the house for too long as there bound to have “UNINVITED GUEST” to occupy the house,and very difficult to get them out. Believe it or not is UP TO YOU.
@dk
agree wif dk.even how good the school is,if the student lazy everything also useless.
Agree with Robert Tan, any house shouldn’t empty for whole year.very bad in term of feng shui.
@ang moh
“……even how good the school is,if the student lazy everything also useless…”
Have you ever come across a very GOOD school full of lazy students?
Good school “would” not have “full of lazy students”….but the performance and demands required of the top 20% and the bottom 20% may not be the same. there are those that managed to get in by “borderline results” and some by connections….
those that are not able to cope with the demands set by the school would be “placed” to the last/end few classes.
Now the trend is famous school need more tuitions and non-famous school less tuition. End of the day, students will be suffered and depression due to too much homework and force from parent expectation. If the student is smart enough then good luck. If the kids are slow learner, then they will tend to give up all even in good school.
Oc confrimed will get in July.Everything is ready …..How many will move in immediate ?
@buyer88
Precisely. There’s no such thing as “……even how good the school is,if the student lazy everything also useless…”. A good school is called a good school because of the various advantages it offers to students, namely, competitive culture, facilities, teaching staff, extra-curricula etc, all of which cannot be duplicated in another school overnight. And those are the advantages that you don’t get in rural schools.
balik pulau is set to boom very soon. Gov already has plan for it. now not yet ready to disclose.
