Teak ( 20 ' x 70' - 2s Linkhouse) in an Integrated township Lang Valley, Ipoh.( By Irene Poh).

Why buy a home in Lang Valley, Ipoh for Retirement and Investment ?

Ipoh reminds me of good food and nice, friendly people. It,s the place for the best dim sim - in Foh Sun. Ipoh is also famous for Kei Si Hor Fun, Chee Cheong Fun, Ipoh White Coffee, Tau foo Fa, Yee Tan Fun, Yim Kok Kei, curry puff, egg tart, kaya puff, pau, Nasi Briyani, Mee Jawa and the list goes on. Wow, make me wallow my saliva.
Lang Valley, located at Ipoh North and to be exact, located in the intersection of Kuala Kangsar road and NSE, it gives the place the advantage of good accessibility to Ipoh city center and to other nearby smaller towns such as Kuala Kangsar, Taiping, Kampar, Bidor , Tapah, Cameron Highlands etc. Ipoh, Grden City has good mode of transportation connects to bigger cities such as K. L. and Penang via the NSE, Ipoh airport, ETS .... which has drawn the cities or towns much closer now . Just like in Japan where the properties in Tokyo are so expensive that people cannot afford to buy any property there. So, with the improved mode of transportation, people would not mind commuting and stay a bit further to avoid traffic jam and the price hike of properties. Ya, we can still find some property at the fringe of K. L such as Kajang Town, Rawang, Sg. Buaya. But, the road system, amenities, neighborhood are still not as good as what we can find in Ipoh.
Take a look at the surroundings of Lang Valley. At the backdrop are the limestone hills, covering one side, it gives you the natural beauty of Ipoh. As you take a drive from the entrance into Lang Valley from Jalan Kuala Kangsar. You will be welcome by the beautiful views and the waterfalls of Gunung Lang Recreation Park. This is no ordinary park. It has a beautiful lake where you can have recreational activities. During the weekends, it will be crowded with people coming for picnics, boat rides, park walks and even resort chalets for those intending to stay-over. Gunung Lang Recreation Park managed by MBI seems to be a popular park among the locals as well as outstation visitors. If you are a nature lover, you can even go for cave visiting such as Gua Tempurung, Sam Poh Tong, Perak Tong etc. After a hard's day work, maybe you would like visit The Banjaran Hotspring, Hotspring, Tambun , Bayan Spa where you can relax. If you are a golf lover, take a short drive to Clearwater Sanctuary where you can relaxed and enjoy your golf game for the day. For those beach lovers, Pangkor Island will be a nice getaway place for some sun tanning, canoeing, swimming, etc. Lang Valley, being located next to NSE is easily accessible to all these places of interest without much hassle. For me, it will be worth considering to get a good home to retire in Ipoh. So much to do. To sum it all up, you have the "Best of Both world". The natural setting of limestone hills , 0.7 km of Backstreet Mall, Atrio, Lifestyle Mall, 5 million sq.ft. Shopping Mall, Colleges. in Lang Valley City. And yet just a 5 minutes drive away from Ipoh city center. If I want to look for happening, we can still can go to places like Overtime, St Patrick, Ipoh Garden East..etc. After all, there are still some decent and open night spots that young people like to hangout.
Teak's contemporary designs, with modern facade, follows the market trend that customer would not mind paying a slightly higher price. GLDSB main objective is to build a ready home - plaster ceiling, 2 ft by 2 ft ceramic floor tiles for ground floor living and dining halls, floorings for all the upstairs bedrooms, wall tiles up to ceiling for kitchen as well as all bathrooms, solid room doors and toilet doors, quality toilet fittings give purchasers the conveniences of not having to do much when they take over the property in middle of 2013. Furthermore, the purchasers might not have the time to do it. Another added features would be gated and guarded facilities with community living that people asked for. The homes come with intercom system, internet broadband, alarm system wiring....etc. Price from RM 268,000.00 up for a build up areas of approx. 1800 sq.ft.
Another bonus would be GLDSB also take care of the interest cost during construction, free legal fees, stamp duties. Purchasers just have to pay the earnest monies of 10% and take a 90% loan package offered by leading banks such as MBB and PBB at an attractive loan package.
If you have decided to buy a retirement home in Lang Valley. The minute you get your house keys, the Exclusive property agency , Nineten Properties ( Hp 013 3638327/ 012 5123345/ 0143442974) will assist you to rent out your property immediately asthe rent will take care of your installment to the bank.
It is a good idea, looking at the objective of buying a retirement home with the intention to rent it out first. With the same amount of money, I can't do much in buying any good property in K. L. and Penang too. If you want a good property of similar built up areas of 1400 sq. ft. with land size of 20 ' x 70' in USJ 3D near to USJ heights , the price would be close to RM500,000.00 and also have to pay for all the miscellaneous costs that might come up to be exorbitant from your own pocket.
Best is to take a drive down to Lang Valley for some Ipoh good food and visit Teak show house in Lang Valley. Limited units available.

SEEING IS BELIEVING.

Respect to others and make the wolrd a better place. ( 03/ 07/ 2011 by Irene Poh

When I was young, my mum and dad used to tell me to show respect to the elders, relatives, friends and so on. Whether we like it or not, we have to live with this principle of life. The importance of showing respect to parents, elder, friends, employer, employee... etc in regardless of their status. We will have to nurture our children with these values when they are still young. By doing so, the world would be a better to live on.
Is it fair for us to give respect to people judging from their outlook rather than their behavior? One of my business's friend used to complain to me that people judge him based on this outlook. He had this problem of being looked down when he went to the bank to open an account. For comfort purposes, he just wore something simple . Came along another lady dressed luxuriously and wore a diamond ring that catches the attention of the bank clerk . The minute the clerk saw the "rich" lady, she quickly stood up and treated the " rich" lady like a" VIP" . Knowing the fact that my friend came in earlier. What's wrong with her? Come on, her judgement is 101% wrong. My friend could have looked very simple but in fact he is rich. After seeing what had happened, my friend just shook his head and walked away. What a pity? The bank clerk did not even know that she has just lost a valuable customer. So, better not to be misguided and not show the slightest respect to simple people like my friend. Live to respect others in order to gain the respect. In this realistic world, the society is full of people that only give respect to the rich - Is this the norm? What kind of non sense?
Please bear in mind that majority of us also take things for granted by not showing respect to their family members. friends, their husband and vice versa, business partners etc. Children in this digital age complained that their parent do not understand them and yet demand respect . We ask ourself, do we deserve the respect from our parent if we can't show the same respect to them in the very first place?
Gosh... I guess nowadays people just do not bother with giving " respect" to others anymore. I was just sharing it with my sister in law the other day, she told me that she is engaged in a normal conversation with one of her friend's son that turned into embarassment and disappointment. The boy suddenly screamed and sweared at her. She did nothing wrong and could not understand why? To her surprise, she just stared at the boy and not knowing what to say to him? Is it something wrong with the boy's family's upbringing or too much of western influences from the media. Why is he behaving like this? Was he drunk when he said this. Nope. Nowadays, majority of the so called "educated new generation" talk like this ? To them, this is cool . I was disappointed and yet they can tell me to chill . How ? You mean to say that the parents spend some much money ....to produce whole bunch of barbaric / misbehaved kids to the society. I felf sad for them as well as their parents.
Likewise, respect is someting not only one sided and expect being respected. I believe respect has to be earned. One of my friend used to complain that her children are being rude and not giving respect to her. I got a shock. Her children are so highly educated and earning a good salary. Why ? I find that in this competitive world, parents seemed to priotise on the wrong values. They feel that children's academic excellency are the key success in their children's life . As such, they have neglected the most important principle to teach their children 's moral values. The children could not be bothered showing respect to others as long as they obtained flying colors in their exams. After all, these is what their parent' wants. Showing off to everyone how smart their children. Come on. In reality, this bunch of so called " educated generation without knowing the real meaning of "respect" going into the employment market. They would definitely face problem in communicating with others because they do not know how to respect others. People will slowly dis associate from him/ her due to his/ her behavioral problem. Better wake up, start showing respect to others and you will automatically gain the respect. Isn't this a wonderful feeling. To learn to respect others in regardless who they are?
My son, Ivan used to ask me " mum, Is dad being respected ? " . Yes of course he is. People from all walks of life- the old or young ones , the poor or the rich, the academics or even the little ones appreciate and look up to him . Take him as a learned person with great respect, good personalities, manners and the list goes on. I guess we as parent will have to do our part to instill good values to our children, Reap what we sow. With that, the world would be a better place.
That's goes the saying " respect is to earn and not demanded".
Everyone put their heart and soul to shape and change the attitude of the new generation. The choice is in our hand and let's start the ball rolling . Put together everyone's effort - " learn to respect each other to lead a happy life" . Isn't that what we want? Having the mutual respect and live harmoniously with each other. The world would be a better place.
If we can't respect these basic fundamental into our daily life then we will have to bear whatever to come . Do not blame others or trying to shortchange the innocent ones. Let's wake up and do something.

Lang Valley (Next to Nature). A 250 acres of Mixed Development in Ipoh North ( next to North South Highway). ( Irene Poh 09/07/2011)

Looking back for the past two years, I tried my best to find time visiting my mum, dad , brothers, sister and relatives in Ipoh. At times, I guess spending time with your love ones always mean alot to me.
I have left home after my secondary education and did my Bachelor of Arts degree in University of Guelph, Canada. But somehow, no matter where I go, my heart is always in Ipoh. Is it because of its natural landscape and food is so fantastic and tasty that I thought I am living in paradise.
As you take a slow drive along NS highway approaching Ipoh, you will see on the left and right side of the roads covered with mountain and limestone hills comes in different forms. The one from the top of the cave called the stalactite and the one that come from bottom is called stalagmite.
Lang Valley, located in Ipoh North has its natural beauty. The first access from Ipoh Garden Tasik into North South Highway. After a short distance, You will see a railway track on the left hand side of the highway before passing Gunung Mahsurat . Travel for another 300m, you will see a slip road in-construction ( alternative access) goes directly into the Lang Valley Commercial Hub.
The third access from Ipoh Oldtown Center travel along Jalan Kuala Kangsar into Lang Valley. The drive takes about 10 minutes.
Gosh! Lang Valley is like what we see in the Chinese paiting( San Sui Hua) . The backdrop of the beautiful hills with the lake next to it. As I travelled along North South Highway, I was welcome by Gunung Lang Recreation Park. To get into the lake, we have to buy ticket for the boat ride. During the weekends , the entrance is crowded with people waiting eagerly and patiencely at the queue . The minute I saw the lake, I thought I am in James Bond Island, Thailand. Later I realised that I am not . As I drove further in , there is a huge park with matured grown bamboo trees , some huge trees and challet too. Suddenly I can feel the cool breeze of air and I just sit and relax. The serenity of the view, the bird singing and the squirel running really inspired me . How nice if I can have my chinese brush to do some paintings now . But, too bad. I am not an artist. hahaha.
Lang Valley, a land blessed with lush of greenery , the terrain of the land is rather flat with a closed proximity to the network of highways ( North South) and jalan Kuala Kangsar. The North South Highway lead us to the most happening places such as The garden, Jusco in Tasik, Ipoh Garden East where the night life begins . On the other hand, along Jalan Kuala Kangsar, it will brings us to the industrial sites such as Honda, Toyota 3S centre , Volvo, etc. If you continue on the journey , you will get to KTM station (Fast track to KL) , most of the major banks, St. Michael Schools, ACS school , Majistrate courts, corporate offices etc.
Lang Valley , strategically located in the mid point of two vibrant business centers mentioned above. Gunung Lang S/B (developer of Lang Valley) 's Chariman Mr. Ronnie Poh reiterated to incorporate more Greens in Lang Valley. His dream is to let buyers enjoy the last peice of well planned township with amenities and good accessibitlies . To find out more, do not hesitate to visit our website at malaysia-properties.com.my.

They have cut out 70 acres of commercial land to be developed and managed by a reputable and experienced retailer. A place where people can live, play and eat. Chairman has not said much but they are finalising the negotiation with a few parties. We just have to wait anxiously for the good news .
