FAQ: Who would live in Cyberjaya?

Who wouldn't?

1) Cyberjaya is sooOOO faaaAarRrr....?

With the new MEX highway connecting Cyberjaya to Kuala Lumpur City Center, long gone are the days where Cyberjaya is deemed an out of town or even out of outer space for some!


Cyberjaya is also highly accessible from PJ using Elite Highway.  Traveling to KL and PJ is within 30 mins drive. 


Traveling from Puchong and Seri Kembangan is less than 30 mins. Going to Seremban takes about 35 mins.


Is it really that far? Seriously people, we ought to admit that it is all in our mind. People from PJ may feel is far, but then again people in Southern part of Klang Valley such as Seri Kembangan, Puchong and Cyberjaya may feel PJ is far. Far is really a relative term! 


2) There is nothing in Cyberjaya. 


No shopping center, no light life and even one of my clients commented, no BKT shop (bah kut teh) and char siu rice shop! 


Common people! Would you really open a BKT shops when there are less people living in Cyberjaya as compared to say in Puchong and Seri Kembangan. While we have not figured out whether it is the chicken or the egg that comes first, BKT shop or people living in Cyberjaya isn't one where we can't figured it out. 


For those who still can't figure out which should come first, Starbucks has just opened its outlet with drive thru'! on 9th July 2012 in Cyberjaya. I am just wondering how many Starbucks in Malaysia comes with drive thru'. Why would Starbucks open an outlet in Cyberjaya? Why a drive thru'? In Cyberjaya? To the nay sayers of Cyberjaya, this must be something plucked out of the movie "The God must be Crazy". 


No night life? This goes the same as well. Mind you that Cyberjaya has numerous MNC coanies, such as Shell, BMW, Dell, Fujitsu, IBM and many many more. With several retail buildings being developed in Cyberjaya, such as Shaftsbury, D'Pulze, The Arc just to name a few, night life within these developments may very well a sooner or a later thing, to cater to these employees in MNCs.


Oh! For those curious drinkers, Cooler Bar next to Old Town is one place where imported beers are aplenty. *burrrrppp*! 


3) So, who would live in Cyberjaya?


Aliens and monsters! Seriously, not! It is normal people like you and me that would live in Cyberjaya. There is really no decent homes at the moment where one can live in Cyberjaya except for apartments and condos. MahSing was one of the earliest developer to develope landed homes in Cyberjaya followed by Symphony Hills in Cyberjaya. 


Is it really out of this world where employees of these MNC companies start to live in Cyberjaya?Closer to your work place, with Universities and private schools within Cyberjaya, living in Cyberjaya is just about the right decision that one would make. 


Spillover from Puchong and Seri Kembangan would also be one that contributes to "who would stay in Cyberjaya". Why spillover to Cyberjaya? Well, better infrastructures, relatively cheaper homes and proximity to these places.
