Cramped Apartment, No More

Relatively, the composition of nuclear family getting smaller over the past few years; from 4 (Children) + 2 (Parent) into 2 (Children) + 2 (Parent). With the uncertainty of economy climate, raising our children is a tremendous challenge and easily understandable why some young parent choose to have small nuclear family. The rapid increase of property price in the past few years means the choice of property type is so limited ; either Apartment or Flat is a practical option for them .

As being demonstrated in the following links, the constraint and limitation of property-space demand a high level of innovative and brilliant blue print.

Without a doubt , It’s plausible for idea for us to incorporate these ideas in Malaysia Architectural Scene

My Malaysian Dilemma

Year in , Year out  , the house price in Malaysia shown a rapid increase without any apparent reason and in a speculative manner . The idea to own a house before reaching age 30 , it seems to be a grandeur master plan . The economy distribution in Malaysia is uneven as some place like Klang Valley and Penang are more densely populated due to the greater economy growth and opportunity . The continuous flow of rural-urban migration attributable to Development Promise and intentionally inefficient economy plan by Barisan Nasional with a high concentration of industrialization and infrastructure on White area (Read Barisan Nasional constituency )

For instance , Klang Valley have become an expensive place to live . The city heavily developed with the boundary of inner-city and outer-city not exist at all .  KL Golden Triangle (and surrounding) becoming extremely expensive to inhabit . Most of the lands have been reserved for redevelopment (shopping centre , office , etc) . So , only a small portion of land have been spared for up scale housing project . Up scale Apartment with 750 sqft for MYR 1 Million  ? Anyone ? Another case of demand and supply .

Since it is almost impossible to live in KL , the options are available for us ; Subang , Petaling Jaya , Shah Alam . But again , we are facing similar problem like KL at these area .Expensive .

New development area (Shah Alam area ) :- Kota Kemuning , Bukit Bandaraya , Setia Alam . Rapid increase of price due to newly built highway and within 5-15 minutes from Shah Alam .

The house price is correlated with the land value , connectivity (read highway and public transport) and future development .The Cardinal Rule ; If Government can ensure fair distribution of development (infrastructure) and reliable public transport , a house at Bukit Beruntung and office at Klang is possible .

But sometimes , I'm thinking Government with all respect , intentionally to ensure that Car Price remains high as possible (to save Proton) and let innocent Malaysian to stay away from city and  keep paying toll .

Conclusive as ever .

The demonic simple Economy Theory in the mould of Demand and Supply has been applied by unholy trinity of Bank , Developer and Valuer .
