My Home Sweet Home, Except That..


I bought a unit in Andari Townvillas @ Selayang Heights based on the fact that it is one of a kind that I have ever come across in Malaysia.

Unique low rise walk up/ down concept (for I hate elevator) & the unrivaled location (near to greens & nature, NOT shops/ commercial centre as for most people). Of course, this place is not too far from KL city either. In fact, I am very satisfy with my unit (err.. after going through some renovations of course). I count myself lucky that my unit does not come with much problem, only minor leaking & some shoddy workmanship which can be rectified easily. Though having gone through many times of inspection & re-rectification with the developer, these are small matters which I can easily brush aside. See, I am NOT a compulsive whiner. If you treat me fairly, I will give you all the credit you deserved.

I still love to stay here for the cool morning mist & the refreshing winds that blow almost 24/7. Birds chirpings all day and insects humming in harmonious rhythm. During the night is most amazing, the tranquility, it is as if you are camping in the wilderness, only having all this in the comfort of your own home. For these, I would say Dergahayu Sdn Bhd did a Fantastic Job! for identifying this spot. Another plus point is that i have friendly neighbours, so far. Hoping i will never have to meet a MWAB* in time to come. For this, i could only pray.

(* man with animal brain. Animal brain should only stick with animal)

Why I can tolerate animals & not MWAB? It’s because of a simple EXPECTATION!

When it’s an animal, i expected it to behave like one, an animal. Just like when you are a man, you would be expected to behave like one too. See, no complication! But if the Expectation is BREACHED, just like the case of Dergahayu here. Well, you are, for sure, going to upset many people, including those MWABs!

Although I am satisfied with my unit, this property should (i mean MUST) also come with other COMMON FACILITIES which DERGAHAYU SDN BHD did not DULY delivered or FAIL to deliver at all. Those delivered, can HARDLY meet a simple standard EXPECTATION!

1) 24 Hour Security
It is as if there is no security at all, as good as placing a mannequin like what our Polis DiRaja did on the highways. For the current “guards” (which they don’t deserved to be called), it’s a free world, welcome all & serve all! Chanting “Masuk, masuk & masuk lagi…”. So many shortcomings that i think i’ll have to list them in a new posting.

2) Exclusive Club House, Pool & Gym
Nothing, Nil, Zip, Zilch & Zero. Yes, that bad for Phase 2. Now we were told to share Phase 1 swimming pool, with an amazing FISH POND size. Gym? Forget about treadmill & bench press. You can work out by running while carrying bricks at the nearby Gardenville Townvillas construction area. Permission from the Indon “kapala” is required. You may get paid too.

3) Covered Car Park
Nil! Lets hope for the trees to grow in 10 years time, to shade your by then faded car from the scorching sun. Count yourself lucky if you manage to find one car park, particularly on Phase 1. Budget airlines system of first come, first park applies here. No frills but plenty of thrills, if you can’t find one.

4) Access Road (via Makamah Selayang)
Fits for any toughest 4x4 challenge! The road to Rawang is not, i repeat NOT an access road. It’s merely an exit road as you can’t access from there unless you make a ridiculous far u-turn.

5) Landscaping
It seems that Dergahayu are leaving this delicate task to Mother Nature. Sigh…

6) Jogging Tracks
I didn’t know that Dergahayu’s version of jogging tracks is simply a road! Share it with parked & moving vehicles & jog at your own risk, if only you must.

7) Street Light
Phase 1 have proper ones. Phase 2’s are NOT STREET lights, those are merely garden lamps! How can it differ? Shortchange you & me of course.

8) Perimeter Fence
Recently erected due to our complaints. However, poorly erected & very flimsy. Those erected are not perimeter fence for a Gated Community. They look more like for “kandang itik” purposes. I doubt it can even keep my grandma’s goats from getting thru & fro…



What is going on in their (Dergahayu) mind? Please bear in mind that we PAID for all the above! Why do they take this insane course of action? It is for short term gain or they just think that Selayang people are just a bunch of “Dungus” (idiots) who will accept anything & not complain even if you slap them with shit on their faces!

If Dergahayu Sdn Bhd think that they will make some quick big bucks here and get away with it, THINK AGAIN…

For these you are undermining your own CREDITABILITY! Would your founder, the late Mr Alex Ng Hong Yee, condone such despicable act of CHEATING the RAKYAT’s MONEY & TRUST, if he is still around?

Only GOD knows…

His 3 SONS, definitely will & already have…


It is still not too late to redeem yourselves, just FULFILL WHAT YOU HAVE PROMISED…
