open letter to HO

House Owner (HO),
Newly Bought House/Appt,
MALAYSIA

Dear Sir,

Re: NEWLY BOUGHT HOUSE/APPT

I congratulate you on the newly bought house/apt.

2. I'm here not to jeorpadise your happiness of getting the keys to your new castle but I have to inform you on the hidden cost that you have to bear once you happily signed the Sales and Purchase Agreement with the developer and the loan agreement with the bank or government.

3. Please bear in your mind that, once you get the key, you have to think about the grill (normal iron or wrought iron), kitchen cabinet (to use melamine or granite or 3g or gross glass etc), wardrobe (sliding door with or without anti jump function, how big, ) and also the concept of your new castle. Is it going to be modern concept? English? wood concept?

4. Believe me sir, it will cost you a lot. In term of money and also in term of time, strength, mind and its also will challenge your patience.

5. The rough idea that possible go for modern concept:

i. Grill - wrought iron in front and normal iron at the back include some cage concept in the back will cost you about RM3.7k;

ii. Kitchen Cabinet - using normal melamine as table top, will cost about RM5.5 k inclusive of Hood and Hob;

iii. Wardrobe - RM3.6k for 16 x 8 feet (pasang siap)

iv. TV set - RM1.5k for 32 inch Panasonic LCD TV (well new castle must come with new electronic gadget)

v. and the list is on and on depends on your need.

6. To be comfort, please prepare at least RM30k for everything of the above.

Thank you and salam hormat,

Jebatz
