Residensi Hijauan Pantai: The Long Road to Rescue (Nov 2025 Update)
(1) A Project That Started with Promise
Residensi Hijauan Pantai (RHP) was launched as a flagship Residensi Wilayah development in Pantai Dalam. 629 affordable units plus a multilevel car-park podium.
By 2024 the tower had climbed impressively to level 42, but progress soon slowed. The podium never went beyond piling.
Today, two years later, the site stands still; buyers have paid most of their loans but have nothing to show for it.
(2) How 2025 Unfolded
January–March 2025: Slow Motion
Monthly progress crept below 1 %.
Reports showed 63 – 64 % completion even as disbursement to banks reached 77 %.
Buyers began questioning where the money went.
April–May 2025: Crisis Spills Out
When buyers pushed for answers, Impero Land admitted its work force had been detained for immigration issues and only “20 workers” remained.
Rumours swirled that its directors were questioned by police.
By mid-May the company confirmed it was still resolving “worker permit matters”.
June 2025 — Government Steps In
YB Fahmi Fadzil hosted a coordination meeting with buyers, DBKL and KPKT.
The Ministry confirmed the project as a “Projek Sakit” under federal watch.
Impero Land could not state how much funding it actually needed to finish.
That meeting became the turning point: the government began preparing to freeze the developer’s Housing Development Account (HDA) and explore a rescue plan.
(3) Buyers Organise: From Frustration to Action
July – October 2025
A core comittee compiled a 20-point memorandum:
- mismatch between bank disbursement (77 %) and actual work (64 %)
- podium delay since 2023
- request for loan moratorium & white-knight takeover
- enforcement of Section 12 Housing Development Act 118 to let KPKT forcibly take over
KPKT later confirmed the project’s “sick” status and said a submission to declare it abandoned was in progress.
October – November 2025: Mass Buyer Movement
Buyers created a verified registry via Google Form and met in person at PJ King’s Hall Café to form a Buyer Action Committee (BAC).
Goals:
- unite 51 % of purchasers, the threshold under the Urban Renewal Act 2025 for government-led rescue
- reject any “top-up” or downgrade scheme
- secure CCC and handover under a new competent developer
The tone shifted from anger to unity:
“Stay calm, stay organised, once KPKT steps in, this project can be saved.”
(4) Inside the Developer Chat
In the mixed buyer–developer Whatsapp group, “Impero Sales Admin” repeatedly promised updates but went silent for weeks.
By October the site gate was locked; no workers were seen.
Buyers called the company out for “ghosting” and started bypassing Impero entirely by engaging directly with KPKT and YB Fahmi’s office.
(5) Government Response
Letters from the Housing Monitoring Division (KPKT) confirmed:
- RHP is officially monitored as a sick project.
- The HDA account of Impero Land Sdn Bhd has been frozen.
- A ministerial directive is being drafted to protect buyer interests.
The Ministry is also studying how to apply the Urban Renewal Act, which allows takeover with just 51 % buyer consent to accelerate the white-knight process.
(6) Reality Check
- Physical completion: ≈ 64 %
- Financial disbursement: ≈ 77 %
- Podium progress: 15 % (stalled)
- Infrastructure (roads, TNB, water): 0 %
- Developer credibility: collapsed
Impero Land continues to claim new contractor appointments “soon”, but there is no physical proof.
(7) Where We Stand Now
As of 12 November 2025:
- The buyers have consolidated across four major Whatsapp-Telegram groups.
- Verified buyer list exceeds 400 names, enough to cross the 51 % threshold once validated.
- KPKT, DBKL and YB Fahmi’s office are scheduling a joint session to decide whether to officially declare RHP abandoned and appoint a white knight developer by early 2026.
(8) The Bigger Picture
Housing Minister Nga Kor Ming has pledged “zero abandoned projects by 2030.”
If the government delivers on that promise, RHP should be among the first test cases.
Buyers are determined not to let this be just another statistic.
(9) TLDR
Residensi Hijauan Pantai now sits at the crossroads between collapse and revival.
The structure stands, incomplete but salvageable and the buyers, after two years of silence and struggle, have finally found their collective voice.
With government oversight tightening and the 51 % rule on their side, the countdown to a white-knight rescue has begun.
