Hi, I have installed ADT at my Austin Hts home. RM75 per mth for three years. Up front charges about RM2K+. V happy with the service so far (since Jan 11). I have a mixture of vibration & contact sensors (for windows/sliding doors) + 2 montion sensors + 1 smoke sensor. Two keypad units (one at ground flr main door, one in 1st flr master bedroom). Keypad allows different messages to be sent to the call centre, eg medical, fire, intrusion emergency ..etc There is backup battery and I am using sim card system - so no worry for power failure or telephone line cut-off.
Response from the call centre is very fast (less than 10 secs)- based on a few false alarms (accidental activitation on our own) I have experienced so far.
My system was activitated on a few occasions when there were strong vibrations from my neighbour's renovation work. The alarm went on for about 15 mins and remained active after which. ADT will help monitor the situation. If alarm is triggered by both contact/vibration and motion sensor(in the house), then there is likely to be intrusion and the police can be called in.
I did not install grills. But the system gives me peace of mind.

Forum is to share information. I happened to know a lot more about the development in Bandar Seri Alam. Most friends asked me about Iskandar project. It took me a while to fully understand it's potential. This place is just one part out of the 5 zones that will be developed. You can get much info from Google but it will easier if some links are given directly. Many friends are afraid to visit JB, how many really dare to stay here but things are changing. Behaviour is important, don't be the target. Peace....
Thanks guys... appreciate for the feedback....
Taman laguna
- security good - cctv all the corner and guard looks impressive and cheap maintenance fee
- v big unit which not much other area provide the same space/ built up area as other development getting smaller and smaller...
- a bit inside and not developed at surrounding area in between danga bay & kota iskandar
- location good for woodland custom or 2nd link with the coastal highway (mostly will shoot up when coastal highway open)
- i got quite a number of family members so the bigger the better.
- more local family in the garden.
- away from amenities.
- need to go through a malay kampung to reach the garden.
- higher entry cost- all loan, lawyer fees not free + higher downpayment.
Its really pro and cons..... nothing is perfect. headache headache.....
Hi,
The western side of JB is getting too expensive to invest. Look at the eastern side and everntually Desaru (industrial land). There are money to be made. Watch out for news on the 3rd Link via Tg Puteri. This maybe the gateway to Pasir Gudang & Desaru via Senai-Desaru highway and Bandar Seri Alam (City of Knowledge) and LRT/MRT link to JB, Nusajaya, PTP, etc. The property prices there is a fraction of those in Horizaon Hill or Bukit Indah.

Jasonjst you referring to this post???
S'porean driver chased by 20 road bullies in JB
A SINGAPORE-REGISTERED car was smashed by a group of men in Johor Baru early Sunday morning because he had failed to give way to a Malaysia-registered car. In a contribution to citizen journalism website, Stomp, the driver of the Singapore car said that his car was chased by two Malaysian cars and at least 10 motorcycles that night.
The incident occurred at Stulang Laut (the ZON), a popular destination for Singaporeans, at around 3am.
House,
That's a good summary. Btw, i think the houses at Taman Laguna will be built at the area further in, closer to the water tank tower, do get a better idea of the exact location should you decide to buy. The sales also loves to highlight the fact that although this is a private company, the land is fully paid for. So do bear in mind this is a company even lesser known than the likes of KSL, IJM Land, etc and you will have to deal with a developer who might be less concerned with publicity.
The other point is, whilst the coastal highway connects Taman Laguna to JB city, you have very little amenities in the immediate surrounding. To get to Perling or Bukit Indah, you will have to drive through the kampong, passing by Taman Baiduri, etc. Hence this might be a concern should you need to commute at night.
Obviously where they lack in location, they make up for it with very generous built-up space. However, i find the design rather old fashion... the double volume ceiling does not really bring out the beauty of such design, compared to places like Impian Heights or Straits View Residences. I dislike the long corridor upstairs.
Hey, i'm playing devils's advocate. After all these negative comments, if your heart still goes for it, you should not hesitate. Property investment is never about right or wrong but risk appetite.

I kind of agree with you. Lets do keep this place for sharing, not for sales pitch and cheap advertising. This aint 88DB or Mocca
i don't know about the rest but to me this reeks of sales pitch and you've obviously registered yourself here with ulterior motives. we've been a fairly harmonious community here giving useful advise and info sharing about living in JB how we overcome obstacles etc. If you want to sell please go somewhere else or at least have the courtesy to contribute something meaningful. And don't even get me started about sri mutiara. All of us here are not vege heads.

The important thing is that in Dubai they have built much more private properties than number of residents and that created a bubble as most of those were sold as a speculative investment.
Hope we wouldn't experience something like that in IDR.
