sistem berkenaan mula beroperasi pada 1 Mac lalu me- '
rangkumi tiga komponen utama iaitu sistem aduan, semakan penyata dan perlesenan boleh dilayari
di

I
"Tiga komponen yang diperkenalkan bersesuaian dengan
kehendak penduduk dengan sistem yang mampu me- I
mudahkan orang awam menyalurkan aduan kepada MPN
dengan pantas.
"Malah aduan akan direkodkan mengikut kategori dan
akan disalurkan kepada jabatan serta pegawai berkenaan
untuk memastikan aduan dapat diatasi dengan segera,"
katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini semalam.
Tambah beliau, semakan penyata pula dibahagikan kepadatiga iaitu taksiran, sewaandanpelesenan.

untuk membuat semakan penyata cukai taksiran terkini
secara online kerana mereka tidak perlu datang ke pejabat
dan hanya boleh melakukannya di rumah.

SHAHALAM:The Selangor government will go
ahead with its plan to give
consumers in the state 20
cubic metres of water
free every month from
next month and a tariff
increase expected next
year had no bearing on
the matter, said Menteri
Besar Tan Sri Abdul
Khalid Ibrahim.
He
said
Syarikat
Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn
Bhd (Syabas), the water
concessionaire for Selangor, had no powers to determine tariffs and only
the Water, Energy and
Communications Ministry could make any
changes, 'That (water
tariff) is something that
we will address later. As
it is, no decision has been
taken on it yet. Wewill go
aheadwithwbat we have
planned (give the free
water)," he told a press
conference on Saturday.
Abdul Khalid said this
is in response to the revelation by Sekinchan assemblyman Ng Suee Lim
in the State Assembly on
Tan Sri Abdul Khalid
Ibrahim
.
Wednesday that consumers in the Klang Valley would face a 37 per
cent tariff increase for
water, whichwouldmake
a cubic metre cost
RM1.90from next year.
Nghad claimed that
Syabas recently had
briefed some assemblymen about the impending
increase.
NQw,users pay 57 sen
per cubic metre for the
first 20 cubic metres,
RM1.03 per cubic metre
for the next 20 cubic metres followedby RM2per
cubic metre thereafter.

SINCE1990, only 1%of the 2.3
millionunits of residential
properties in the country had
not been completed.
Housing and Local
Government Ministry
Secretary-General Datuk
Ahmad Fuad Ismail (picture)
said another 3% were delivered late.
He said a high delivery rate
was achieved as most of the
developers in Malaysia were
responsible, and also because
they were governed under the
Housing DevelopmentAct
1966.
The law makes it mandatory for developers
to submit a progress report every six months,
or face a minimumpenalty of RM50,OOOto a
maximumpenalty of RM250,OOO,or three
years jail term, or to both.
"Besides going through the report, we also
do onsite inspections," he said.
And if the consultant who prepared the
report was found to have falsified the details,
the architect or engineer concerned would
face a RMIOO,OOO
penaltyor imprisonment
for a term not exceeding five years, or to
both.
Ahmad Fuad said it was also mandatory for
developers to submit a financial report annually, or face-a maximumRM250,OOOfine.
II-
The Ministry is also empowered to freeze the account of
errant developers.
-"We have to act.fast,
because by the time we want
to freeze their account, the
money would have been taken
out from the account. Even
the board of directors would
have changed."
AhmadFuad advised buyers
to do their research before
purchasing property.
He said the contract is
between the developer and
the house buyer, and the
Ministry is not a party to the
agreement.
"Anyonecan be a buyer, sign the sales and
purchase agreement (SPA), pay 10%,arrange
for a bank loan and own a house. The
Ministry is not involved.
"They don't ask if their (the developers')
business is viable or not. Buyers are expected to know what they are doing. If they don't
know, (then) they should ask.
"Buyers come to us and ask, 'What is the
Ministry doing?' But our powers are limited
(in issues relating to abandoned projects).
The Ministry can only play the role of a mediator. We do not want to frustrate the buyers. r
We want to facilitate matters so that there is
a good outcome for them," he said.

25 Mei - Projek
Plaza Rakyat yang terbengkalai
sejak 10
tahun lalu tetap akan diteruskan pembinaannya, kata Pengarah Hal Ehwal Undang-Undang Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur
(DBKL), Rohayah Karim.
Beliau berkata, walaupun projek itu telah
lama terbengkalai, namun pembinaannya ia
tetap akan diteruskan kerana lokasinya yang
strategik iaitu di tengah-tengah ibu kota serta
pembinaan bertujuan memberi kemudahan
kepada semua pihak.
.
Sehubungan itu, kata beliau, satu memorandum persefallaman (MoU) akan ditandatahgani oleh DBKL, Kementerian Wilayah
Persekutuan dan pemajunya, Plaza Rakyat
Sdn. Bhd. pada awal Julai ini.
"Projek ini akan diteruskan walaupun sebelum ini ia terbengkalai agak lama disebabkan
pemaju asal menghadapi masalah kewangan
akibat kegawatan ekonomi pada 1997," katanya pada Program Bertemu Media di sini
baru-baru ini.
Rohayah berkata, memandangkan Plaza
Rakyat merupakan salah satu projek penswastaan yang dilaksanakan oleh DBKL,maka tidak tinibul soal ia akan dihentikan.
Tambahan pula, katanya, struktur asas ba-
ngunan itu telah siap dan hanya memerlukan
keIja-keIja untuk menyempurnakan bangunan itu sahaja.
Beliau menambah, walaupun projek tersebut telah terbengkalai, namun pemantauan
dilaksanakan setiap maSa bagi mengelakkan
sebarang kejadian yang tidak diingini berlaku
di situ.
Beliau turut menafikan berlaku pencerobohan oleh orang awam atau penagih dadah ke
kawasan pembinaan tersebut.
"Kawasan itu dip agar dan dikawal oleh
pengawal setiap masa dan orang awam tidak
dibenarkan sarna sekali berkeliaran di kawasan itu.
"Selain itu, pemaju turut melakukan penyemburan kabus di kawasan berkenaan bagi
mengelakkan kawasan binaan tersebut menjadi temp at pembiakan nyamuk aedes," katanya.
Sehubungan itu, beliau meminta orang ra...
mai supaya tidak menyalah tafsir sekiranya
melihat orang keluar masuk ke kawasan berkenaan kerana mereka adalah pekeIja yang
sedang melaksanakan tugas.
Baru-baru ini, Utusan Malaysia melaporkan mengenai desakan orang ramai supaya
projek Plaza Rakyat dipulilikan kerana ia
bukan sahaja mencacatkan landskap Kuala
Lumpur malah diperlukan bagi menggantikan Hentian Puduraya yang sesak.

SUBANG JAYA: The Mutiara
Perdana Apartments in PJS7
Bandar Sunway are l~eady for
occupancy, hut housebuyers
are seeing red over the failure
ofits developer to deliver units
in good condition,
"Most of the lmits are in really had shape, The electrical
fittings are poorly instaUed
and some do not even have any
wiring,
"The same can be said for

suffering due to shoddy job,
'
The apartments,
which
were latmched in 2002, coml>rise four blocks 01'232 units,
In spite of the incomplete
condition of the flats, househuyers were appalled to learn
that the Subang Jaya Mwucipal Council (MPSJ) bad neverthless granted Ille development a Certificate of Fiiness of
Occupation (CF),
"The CF was awarded in
April last year, but the utilities
are stili not in order," said Zai'
IU, adding that the developer
was also a year late in meeting
the delivery date of tile units,
as stipulated in the sales and
purchase agreement.
hI fact, the developer, for all
intents and pmposes,
no
longer exists,
"The developer, Westcomt
Corporation Sdn Bhd, wluch
managed tlus property, was
dissolved fow' months after
the CFwas issued," he said,
Zailu's ll'ustration echoed
the sentiments of many fellow
house buyers,

"As housebuyers, we ,never

several

to air their

"WJ've been told by ministry
officials that tlley are reviewing om five per cent rectification claim in case of developer

"The claJms comprise residents' fimds to repair their
units, but if they are renlitted
by the department, they would
not be retll1'ned to us, They
would only go to the developer
and its creditors," said Tan,

But the residents'
complaints have not gone unheard, as Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh and Kelana Jaya member of Parliament Loh' Gwo Bmne visited

listen to their grievances,
Following the meeting, Yeoh
said that she will discuss the
residents' issues with MPSJ
soon,
"I've been told that some of
them had to take matters into
their own hands and fork out
at least RM7,OOOto get their
