PROPERTY REVIEW

[@thomas5231]

It's Saturday about noon here in Los Angeles. I have to get ready to go to work. No days off this month. I felt so tired and depressed this morning until I saw ... a new vlog by Sean Tan The Man! Always interesting and fun videos and I always learn something. It's nice to escape overseas for 15 minutes. I hope you have your own TV program in the future. You are very knowledgeable and entertaining. Sometimes TV shows or movies will show funny outtakes or "bloopers" at the end. I'd love to see those in your vlog if they happen. You make some of the best quality content on youtube. Gotta go to work. Ciao!

[@iherng]

That's the goal that I hope too... my very own TV show. But I think KZbin already has higher priority than TV, Netflix perhaps hahahaha. As always, thanks for showing your support Thomas. I really appreciate it.

[@thomas5231]

​@@iherng What you say about KZbin having higher priority that TV is true in many cases. I didn't know that before. I was watching a man on youtube here in America who makes videos about news stories. He criticizes TV show news programs for being biased and not giving honest reporting of stories. A famous TV commentator on CNN News whom he criticizes called this youtube guy unimportant. Well, the youtube guys has 1.5 million subscribers and when I checked the CNN opinion reporter's ratings, he had about an average of 500k to 800k viewers. So the youtube guy has TWICE the number of viewers as the guy on the major network CNN !!! And the youtube guy does his show on his own from his house! So, I think you're right. Build up a following on youtube and try to eventually also get a TV show. You have a good and funny personality and charisma and you're very knowledgeable so keep up the good work and go for it!! I'm not going to buy property in Malaysia, but I love watching your videos! You're a good guy. Keep up the good work!!

[@DiamondMind949]

I'm moving to KL for work in 2 days, and although I've lived in 8 different countries, I've never been to Malaysia. I'm looking forward to my next chapter of life in KL, and videos like this really help provide some sort of a framework for what I can expect in terms of living quality, price, etc.... Long story short, thanks!

[@augsthetic]

I'm expat that's been based in Malaysia for a few years now and I can definitely say that you are my go-to source when it comes to apartment hunting in KL. Keep up the amazing content, my friend#subscribed!

[@iherng]

I got you covered hahahaha!!

[@augsthetic]

@@iherng haha I appreciate that. I actually wanted advice on a unit I’m planning to move into in a few months. Is there that I can reach out to you to talk about it in depth? I’d definitely appreciate your insight and advice if it’s possible:)

[@MrForeverAlonez]

Bro I’m binge watching all your videos... you’ve peaked my interest in interior design and property. Keep up the good work !!!

[@iherng]

Wow!! Thanks for watching Jon!!

[@andrewyip434]

bro, thanks for all your preview and tips on property, i am your fan have been following you. good job and keep it up. hey, just a tip, try using a microphone, coz sometime cannot hear you and when you futher away, almost cannot hear you

[@iherng]

I'm already using a mic, but exploring a portable one next. Anyway, thanks for supporting the channel man. I really appreciate it!

Cantiknya residensi Kerinchi bila view dr sebelah gateway residen... ❤️❤️❤️ Hai... Sy dari residensi kerinchi

[@iherng]

Terima kasih sebab berkongsi pendapat yea=)

[@user-ln8rr3dl1p]

It's officially called kampung kerinchi not bangsar south. Misusing the name to mark up property price haha

[@iherng]

Hahahahaha. Now many people still not sure where's kampung kerinchi though. But the kampung part doesn't reflect the current state of development of that area. Anyway, thanks for watching!

[@flaya11]

@@iherng maybe people should educate themselves on the origins of the area itself made by the original people there rather than accept the identity change

[@NazKam]

nothing wrong with statutory houses. also i like the hustle n bustle of the city so i dont mind the noise at all

[@iherng]

Thanks for sharing your point of view Sya Sya=)

[@deenasweater9738]

do u know if theres a indoor connection between kerinchi residensi to kl gateway? so that shorter distance to go to lrt

[@yanminglee3094]

this is my point of view, but its kl gateway premium residences. from my experience its not that good actually, the lifts are slow compared to the other usual lifts. you would have to wait as long as 10 mins sometimes. and for the door of the lift to close, it doesn't respond when you press the close button but to wait 5 secs for it to automatically close. The exit for premium residence is bad, it leads directly to the toll highway, many people have to go against traffic to avoid it. And there's no parking for visitors either. And yes sound pollution is a thing. There's only one lift leading to the mall if you were to take the lrt from residence. so when that breaks down, get ready to make a huge circle around the building.

[@iherng]

Yupe. I agree with you Yan Ming. Just to add on, 1. The way finding around the carpark is so misleading 2. You can never find the right lift to your unit because there are dedicated lifts for specific units, that's why they are slower because the developer needs to have more lifts in number. 3. The gym is super lacking in terms of equipments. They don't even have free weights. However, I think the link bridge in front of the building will change the landscape of this. As you can turn left and make a u-turn back to Bangsar South. Thanks for sharing Yan Ming. I really appreciate it!!

[@Ervinyj]

Sean, can you do a video on KLEcoCity? Thank you in advance

[@iherng]

I've done before and it's around a year ago... Hahaha. Do check it out!

[@derrickong9069]

Hi sean, do you have the link from the unit that you review on this vid? Thanks

[@iherng]

Erm not really because this is a unit shared by one of the audience. Thanks for watching Derrick:)

[@joeyng6755]

Damansara west next please ! specifically embun bayu

[@iherng]

Let me try to squeeze into my schedule yea=)

[@mohdakmal8484]

I think it's not fair to say "I don't like about the statustory housing". Because hey, they were there first for many years before all these premium development squeezing in to become their neighbors. Even to the extent of changing the original area name.

[@iherng]

Right? I think so too. Thanks for sharing your view on this Akmal. I really appreciate it!!

[@hadiranoto2753]

I miss everything about KL

[@muhammadhazmianas9813]

Great review bro.

[@iherng]

Thank you very much=)

[@Labulagi]

Why you always concern about refuse chamber, and ventilation at refuse chamber?

[@iherng]

Hi there. Great question! It's because when you really move in and stay, these are the elements that really makes a difference. Plus the other fancy elements such as facility deck and other are always emphasized by developers but personally I'm really into functionality and practicality=) It really takes a developer with certain experience and caliber to be able to plan details at those areas that are most neglected. If these spaces are well planned, the units won't be too bad. If you've stayed in an apartment and everytime it's a nightmare to take the trash out because the smell is just horrible when you open the door, it's just poor planning.

[@WTiDeadlyfury]

@@iherng There isn't refuse chamber, only garbage room. Why do Malaysia condos, especially in KL, look so badly plan and outdated design?

[@catmad8528]

​@@WTiDeadlyfury Nowadays, developer only chasing profits and they don't really focus on the layout functionality. They only score for the minimum requirements set by local authority. Some development in KL got so many units (high density) but less facilities to offer.

[@flyingfox3766]

M A its one of the things residents always complain about. If its smelly really affect people’s mood lah.

[@derrickong9069]

Hi sean, what is the difference with the premium residence one? Thanks

[@iherng]

Premium has private lifts to the unit and the units sizes are different as well. But the connection to the mall would be more convenient for this instead of the premium one. Thanks for watching 😁

[@mahchunteng9434]

I think the mall is dying 😂😂😂 As for the Lrt , the sound is even more prominent at night 🤣

[@iherng]

Yea, the mall is just doing the bare minimal. But the co working space WORQ and F45 fitness centre just opened, so maybe that might change the landscape? Haha. Thanks for watching yea=)

[@farrasofea]

I only go there for KFC. Bcoz it is at the entrance only

[@maccuswong3205]

I wonder how much is the maintenance fees there. I studied at UM. The traffic congestion is really bad from 5pm to 7pm. Always seas it on my way back from UM to the LRT.

[@iherng]

You can check out the rates from agents via the property portals. There you can get the latest updated rates=) Thanks for watching Maccus!

[@tokroni]

What Bangsar South.? Its Kampung Kerinchi!!

[@suziewan115]

ya dying mall to lepak if you do not want to go to the veli happening Gardens/Midvalley or you do not want to bump into people you know......

[@iherng]

Yea, it's really not the most exciting mall. It's just there to provide the minimum convenience for residence and those who are working in the offices. Anyway, thanks for sharing yea Suzie. I really appreciate it!!

[@maxleong91]

6:45 is literally wow! i can't even bend 😂

[@iherng]

Hahahahaa... gotta work on it then!! Thanks for watching man=)

[@owenkang3599]

Great video, Sean! I subscribed to your channel after watching this high quality video. Keep up the good work. I just have one question if you have time - is the premium residence directly connected to the KL Gateway Mall as well? Thanks!

[@iherng]

Hi Owen. Thanks for watching. Yes, the premium residence is directly connected via the facility deck level to the mall=)

[@owenkang3599]

@@iherng Thanks Sean.

[@abambassleo]

already subscribe you iheng...r u an architect?..because ure very particular in logic and architecture language..like me 😛

[@jellyb3027]

Hi Sean, which you recommend around KL near kelana jaya train? not too expensive for long term like 1 year stay. safety location less noise 🙏😅

[@iherng]

But it's pretty hard to be near LRT and quiet at the same time haha. Then the question would be where you work? Because now we also have the new MRT besides LRT that is slightly older.

[@MrJenny2803]

I am currently renting here & overall i dont like it at all.. if i have a better choice i definitely wont suggest it here. The only good staying here is near to LRT & Supermarket. The lifts are SLOW, utilities bills are extremely high although it is commercial, the noise from the events happened in the mall almost every weekend which you cant have peace at all although u complain to the management.. hmmm not to mention the unit i am staying right now... not worth to what i paid.. so be wise before you choose here.. dont fall with what agents say to you. There are a lot to choose in that area that is far better than here.

[@iherng]

I really appreciate the insights you shared Karen. Thank you so much as these will greatly help new tenants to decide on their home selections=)

[@derrickong9069]

High, can you share, how much is the water and electricity bills there?

[@vincesong4499]

0.08 and 9.14 seconds, so funny 😂

Hahahaha.

Turn the AC ON, bro. you're sweating. :-)

Hahaha. I don't think I should waste the electricity for the owner. I'll just take it as a workout lah=) I really put in a lot of heart and soul in these reviews! hehe.

This condo is the worst condo seriously in my life. Location is great but that’s it and only it. As he mentioned, ventilation was super bad so you will get mod soon and so dusty because major huge traffic load is there. Not recommend to stay there. Only tourist might be enjoyed
