Traffic Congestion Eased?

We all have had to bear with the awful bottlenecks choked up with vehicles every working day especially at the KJMC junction as we exit Jalan SS7/26 as well as when we enter. However the congestion especially in the evening as we head home to Putera has somewhat eased.

Upon checking, I believe it is due to the fact that Tropicana link (Persiaran Tropicana) was opened just before the recent Hari Raya holidays. Click to read article at aradamansara.com dated Sep. 7

That is the good news. Bad news is the residents of Damansara Idaman has filed a court injunction and our joy may be short-lived. But there is hope yet as MBPJ has called for a hearing on this matter tomorrow (Oct.7)

Property Market To Gain From RPGT Amendment, Says REHDA

Dec.23, 2009: Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced tonight a reversal of his government’s decision to reintroduce real property gains tax (RPGT) on January 1 for all transactions, amid concerns that it would hit long-standing homeowners and foreign investors.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 24 (Bernama) -- The property market will benefit from the real property gains tax (RPGT) amendment announced by the government yesterday, the Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association Malaysia (REHDA) said on Thursday.

Association President Datuk Ng Seing Liong said in a statement the property market would benefit from the amendments as it "has a very significant stimulating effect" on investment in the property sector both by foreign and local investors.

" This can be acknowledged by the fact that the market reacted positively to the RPGT waiver in 2007 where increased sales and enquires were recorded," he said.

The re-imposition of RPGT, effective next year, would now be only applicable on properties disposed within five years of ownership.

In the 2010 Budget tabled in Parliament, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Najib Tun Razak, who is also Finance Minister, announced the re-imposition of the RPGT at five per cent, irrespective of the number of years of a property's acquisition.

The RPGT was waived in 2007 to attract more foreign investments by the then prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

" In accordance with the Prime Minister's vision to see stronger growth in the housing industry, these amendments together with the government's liberalisation policy will further stimulate the property sector on a wider scale.

" However, there must be assurance from the government on the consistency of the policy to avoid any misperception on the country's image due to frequent changes in policy," Ng added.
