PETALING JAYA: Aug 8, 2009 was not just another Saturday at the Perumahan Kinrara Bhd sales office in Bandar Kinrara, Puchong, Selangor. More than 100 home buyers, some of whom had been camping there for 10 nights and 11 days are waiting in a queue to purchase homes at Sentosa, a link house development in Phases B39/B40 in the freehold Bandar Kinrara township.

The queuing had started on July 29 with 20 hopeful buyers at the covered corridor outside the sales office. On Aug 7, a day before the launch offering 80 units of homes, they were moved to a nearby tent set up by developer I&P Group.

There was a slight commotion about 30 minutes before the launch when some people formed another queue. There was some exchange of words with those in the official queue but calm returned in time for the launch at 9am.

The launch had attracted overwhelming response as many believed these were the developer's last batch of link houses in Bandar Kinrara 5. All the 80 link homes were sold in three hours.
