International Schools near De Centrum City

  March 05, 2016      PropFessor
One of the important considerations for family is children’s education first, then followed by place of work. This is so important that many developers build international schools in their township to attract family buyers. One famous property sifu once explained why downtime KLCC is not a good place for family stay as the nearest international school is Sayfol International School in Ampang, he explained that people who stay in downtown KLCC do not want to fetch their children to the school and then brave the notorious KL traffic back to work in downtown KLCC. Given a choice, families will always choose to stay near areas with institutions of education, proximity to workplace comes in second.


The nearest International School near De Centrum City is TIS (Tanarata International School). It’s located just a stone throw away from De Centrum City before reaching IOI City Mall. The next nearest would probably be Nexus International School at Putrajaya Precint 15 owned by Taylor's college group.

I think can open 7th March Monday. All the equipment and fittings are almost ready. Kitchen seems ready also.

Update : 20160311 - It's finally open with some level for crowd, with the ongoing hot spell, this could be the place to hang out.



Infrastructure University IUKL Canteen

At the moment, before KFC at De Centrum City opens, one of the nearest place to eat is at the IUKL Canteen. The canteen is located behind the De Centrum sales gallery. From the outside the canteen looks quite rundown but inside it’s still acceptable.

Being an international university which specializes in Civil Engineering studies, they attract lots of students from North Africa and Middle East whereby there is an infrastructure construction boom going on. Therefore, at the IUKL canteen there is African cuisine and Middle Eastern cuisine. Expect to see people ordering huge plates of Kabsa dishes. Kebab is also a regular dish served there.






For the non adventurous, there is mamak (Malaysian Indian) stall and a Malay stall serving mixed rice dishes. Prices are quite reasonable as it caters to students. 



Update 2016-03-14 : The shopkeeper mentioned that the land the IUKL canteen is sitting on will be closed down in May and all food operators would have to operate from the De Centrum Mall aka Gallerie. Most likely the land would be redeveloped for office building (based on the masterplan pictures). The shopkeeper mentioned that the rental for the mall is too expensive for him to operator so very likely he will close down his business. 

Update 2016-12-26 : This place is closed already. Some of the operators have moved into De Centrum Mall.

Commercial electricity and water rates for SOHO owners

Time for a reality check, SOHO units are deemed as commercial units so the electricity and water rates are double the residential rates. It would be best to install water and energy saving appliances there. 

The easiest way to tell if your property is commercial is to see if there is a red exposed water piping in the property. This is the water sprinkler pipe.


This one can claim defect or not

This big crack not sure if can claim defect or not. I notice some of the workers fixing the defect step on this ledge to do the job so technically it should also be fixed to avoid mishaps from happening.


Uniten Turning Motorcycle Accident - danger spot

  March 02, 2016      PropFessor
This turning out from Uniten (University Tenaga Nasional) is a danger zone prone for accidents.

Lots of motorists flying out of the turning without considering how fast the cars are also moving. This is also attributed to the rise in traffic along the road towards Cyberjaya. Lots of cars use this road as shortcut to Cyberjaya or U-turn towards Kajang.

Best way to fix is is probably put a traffic light there. No bumps please.
