When I did my house hunting in 2007, I came across this project as well. When I read this news, I was totally shocked.
This area is deep inside Puchong. To me, it is really far from Puchong IOI, never mention distance to KL city.
I'm wondering why the area sink? Could it be landfill land? FYI, this is a leasehold house.
I like the environment as it is clean, quiet, gated & guarded & direct access to MEX (KL-Putrajaya) highway.
I hope developer can rectify this issue asap. Now, dream house become nightmare.
Besides, I hope my house will not have these problems.

With sinking porches and backlanes, leaking roofs, clogged drains and cracks, it was anything but a dream home.
Recently, the residents gathered for a meeting to air their grouses.
Not safe: A front porch that is sinking.
Pro tem committee chairman James Seow said the developer had only managed to fix some of the problems such as the cracks but had asked the homeowners to handle the rest as their warranty period had expired.
The residents are also concerned over security matters despite it being a gated and guarded community.
Mohd Fadzil Hashim recounted his ordeal when four foreigners broke into his house at about 3.15am and threatened Fadzil and his brother-in-law with knives and tied them up before running away with cash and valuables.
“They probably jumped over the low perimeter fence. I thought this was a safe neighbourhood what with it being gated and guarded,” said the 33-year-old.
Cracking up: The residents are concerned about the condition of their homes.
Although a spotlight had been installed at the said location, the residents felt it was only appropriate for the developer and management company to fix barbed wire and surveillance camera at the perimeter fencing and beef up the security.
The residents were also upset with some of the houses being used for commercial purposes.
They claimed that one of the houses had been converted into a bed and breakfast hotel and some residents are unhappy with a kindergarten in the area.
About 60% of the residents had signed a petition to object against the operation of the kindergarten.
The residents also questioned the monthly maintenance fees as they still have problems like uncollected rubbish, clogged drains, faulty lights and a dirty playground.
Several complaints: Seow (left) pointing at pictures of the defects taken in some of the homes.
“We have almost 600 houses. The owners of the double-storey houses pay RM80 each while the owners of semi-detached houses fork out RM120 a month, but the service is still poor.
“However, when we told the developer and management company about the meeting, they sent some workers to clean the area,” Seow said.
He said the residents just wanted things to be managed in an orderly and legal manner and transparency practised in every aspect of the maintenance of the property.
When contacted, the developer declined to comment while the Sepang Municipal Council (MPSp) public relations officer Zelda Mohd Zamri confirmed that the bed-and-breakfast hotel was illegal.
She added that the council had already sent a letter to the developer for an engineering consultation report.
“However, we have yet to receive any response. We will follow up as soon as possible,” she said.
