Complex Suria Kinrara

The promise not fulfilled and the long wait is dreadful. The whole project looks promising and gives hope to the buyers who have to pay progress payments and service loan interest at the same time but deprived the usage of the premises. The Court sanctioned completion date is September 2009. It is already delayed for nine months and still no sign of delivery date. Call to Talam’s office went unattended.  

The project was expected to complete by June 2010.  June came and still no news of the handover.             

Lots of activities are still going on at the site. A chat with some of the workers revealed that the project is due for completion soon.

According to the workers on site, water and electricity supply is not connected yet. Lifts are not installed.

TNB substation is ready but no power supply.










Suria Kinrara, now known as “Complex Suria Kinrara” is a service apartment cum commercial complex. 

This type of residential cum commercial project is commonly found in Jakarta and Bangkok. Suria Kinrara is adopting that concept, albeit on a smaller scale. Those in Bangkok and Jakarta have service apartment or condominium sitting on top of a huge shopping mall. Examples are the Central World, Bangkok and Taman Anggerik, Jakarta. Our equivalents in Malaysia are the Pavilion and Plaza Damas, Desa Hartamas.

Suria Kinrara is a medium cost project in a mainly residential suburb of Puchong. It has superb accessibility and public convenience.
View Larger Map The proposed LRT extension will pass through Jalan Puchong, with a station at Taman Phiak Hong, just at the corner of Suria Kinrara. Public buses ply Jalan Puchong and the surrounding areas. It stops right in front of the complex. For impatient passengers, a short walk to Jalan Puchong main road for more frequent direct bus services to KL town centre.

The project is surrounded by roads and expressways. The Kesas Expressway is just 500 meters away to the north. The old Jalan Puchong is at south corner of the building. The Sungei Besi–Puchong highway is 1.5 km away via Kinrara 2. A new link to the NPE (New Pantai Expressway), Jalan Kelang Lama and Petaling Jaya old town is under construction. For quick access to the KL-Seremban highway and LDP (Puchong-Damansara Expressway) use KESAS or Sungei Besi-Puchong Highway.

The inter-change (picture on the right) link Jalan Puchong to NPE and Petaling Jaya old town, run through Taman Sentosa in Jalan Kelang Lama.

The work on the connecting bridge over the Klang river is going at a fast pace. You can see Menara MPPJ at the far end of the picture.

Other commercial outlets including banks, supermarkets and hyper-markets are all within 1-2 km from the complex.       The bridge is almost completed.

Wishing You a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year 2010

Wishing all owners and future residents of Suria Kinrara a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year.

We are looking forward to take possession of the unit we have purchased and hopefully move in very soon.


We believe Suria Kinrara is the first apartment in Selangor with separate water meter installed by Selangor water work (Syabas). We must thank Ms Theresa Kok of DAP and the President of MPSA for their assistance in this achievement.


Sentosa Restu (M) Sdn. Bhd has sent the request for payment of the second last 10% progress payment. I hope owners have paid before the due due date on 9 February 2010. By paying promptly we can assist IJM to complete the interior of the units faster.

Let’s us usher the year of Tiger with a loud roaring.

Suria Kinara is near completion.

Our dream of moving into Suria Kinrara is coming true, albeit some delay. I visited the site on 30 January 2010. The internal road has been paved. The playground and landscaping is still in progress.

Unfortunately I was unable to view the interiorof the building, the car park and the swimming pool areas. Workers are busy putting up the final touch.

View from across the road looks good. See some of the pictures attached.

See the block B & D.(view from the Jalan Puchong traffic light.)   


Oooph! the contractor has forgotten to label block D.  

See the block A & C (view from Caltex station across the road)

See the internal road and playground. 

With the court sanctioned scheme of arrangement, I am wondering how can we claim for the loss of use/liquidated damage for the extended delay from the court sanctioned completion date.. Can somebody shed some light on this issue?

The committee members appointed to represent the buyers have been very quiet for some time. Any ideas what is going on?

Progress up to November 2009

See the  pictures taken in November 2009.

Ray of Hope at Suria Kinara

This blog is still under development. More features and team members will be added in soon.


Wait,   Waaiit, Waaaiiit.

Finally, we can see sign of hope.  IJM has removed the construction hoarding at the site.  The drive-way is being pave. The building façade painting is completed.

The exterior of the building looks good. Hopefully, the interior is equally good.

I visited the site last week and talk to the people there. The internal electrical fittings is not done yet.  I was not allowed to view the pool area. I was also not allowed to enter the ramp to the car park.

Perhaps,  committees should give every one an update on the progress and status. We were promised March 2009 delivery. Then it moved to August. Talam staff claimed October 2009 completion date.  Now, probably March 2010 is more realistic.

I have created this community blog for all Suria Kinara owners to share views, suggestions, and comments.   If you wish to be one of the  authors to post your article here, please send me your name, unit address and your e-mail address.
