To me I think that this is practically what happen, but in fact we are still theoretically protected by KPKT and the Bar Council, I think there is still a chance to fight, cuz if we go all the way to the BAR council they will still be in deep shit. Practically they are employ by the developer, no doubt they will side the developer, but on paper the lawyer are still representing us, and the contract says release stakeholder 2.5% at the expiry of six months after VP and the other 2.5% at expiry of 18months, i think if we go extra mile up to the BAR council I don't think the lawyer and the BAR have any choice. But i think we should only do it if there isn't much option, because this is Malaysia...hahaha.

FYI, the same amount that the developer retain from the contractor in any construction project which  they call "Retention Sum", this retention sum will be release upon Certificate of Practical completion and upon Certificate of Defects liability period (normally 18months). So, the developer retain from the contractor as a security and we retain from the developer as our security, it look quite reasonable to me (the law always insist in reasonableness), further more misuse of stakeholder fund could be  a very serious offense which could attract the attention of the lately very active Anti corruption commission.

Just my 2cents. I understand that its always difficult for end user to fight, but I always belief that with persistent and by knowing a little bit about our rights, there is always chances that we can tekan the developer, if we can show them that we understand what is our rights and developer obligation under the contract. I don't think the developer and lawyer will want any trouble just because of a little monetary losses to rectify "minor problem".

Reminder... remember to apply permit before reno. MPS like to hang around newly VPed area.

Few thousand?  he should have juz used the money to hire an arhitect to do relevent aurhorithy submission.

Actually if the neighbour is the adjoining neighbour, and the extension does in one way or another affect the oldman enjoyment of his property, then it may not be totally the oldman fault. If my neighbour do any extension without asking me, or lay his brick directly on the center of the party wall, or doesn't finish up the wall facing my unit, or destroy anything on my property and doesn't make good nicely, I will go after him until he make things right regardless whether the extension is approved by the local authority. Just imagine if your neighbour paint the grille on the party wall red to match his design whille it cannot compliment with your painted colour.

too fanciful...

don't like.. cuz very easy to be failed project...    especially the internal theme park thingy... Theme Park in Rawang? 

some more the project sponsor does not really enjoy big support from banks... let's hope his awning business and Houz Depot could give him enough capital...

Btw, congratulation everyone! we are hitting 100 pages! 

Hopefully they do it like Midvalley, construct by phases so that it can be open for public as soon as possible.

Wah like that your neighbour really kena bully, like that also kena con by the oldman to install grille for him. But what to do, if he dun give in surely continue to harrass him since oldman too free got nothing much to do at home.

no, it's more like the ISETAN in 1U, where a lot of eateries are located at the top floor. of course Bugis Function has more spaces as compared to ISETAN 1U.

ehh.. if you guys recalled, the previous plan was to build industrial factory/showroom. and now changed plan...    another scary part is the plan seems to suggest building condo...  

Cross finger and hope the development proceed successfully, dun die off like the previous "Niu Che Sui".

.......................... Well,when a woman is involved there's no point talking logic. Thx.

post this in the right thread or start your own!

MCP ..!

Hi, I think I can help you. Legally yes, you can be sued, we would be looking at potential court action for nuisance or trespass to property assuming if the leaves fell on her land. I think it's possible for her to obtain a court order to compel you to remove that tree of yours in the worst case scenario.

Based on your statement above, I don't think there is enough facts for you to launch a successful counterclaim if the matter goes to court.

Having said the above, there are many things that lawyers would need to look at ie pictures and relevant correspondences otherwise lawyers would only be able to give you general answers such as the first and second para of my post above. I think you need to reply that letter just to be ready in case the matter got worse.

If you need in depth discussion, you may pm me or you may drop by my office. Cheers

About RM1M. Kota Emerald or Anggun better? Should be able to hold for 3 years.

She had no choice since you keep ignoring her. Won't have come to this stage if you take early action.

Haha yes I am. True that. When you read the letter, just make sure that her only complain and demand is for the tree to be 'removed'.

You are staying which part of Rawang? I visit this thread to check out if there's any update on the Cassis project (I got one unit there)

Cheers...

Just wanted to seek some professional advise from you

My neighbour house renovation halted and was just abandoned like that for more than six months. During the renovation he actually removed all the bumbung on upstair bedrooms and now water takung on the floor. The walls of the house also are mostly torn down with windows all gone, so do the doors. It is such a mess.

Can he leave the house in this condition without any responsibility from his end? I am worried that water could come into my side of the house and all the wood could be breeding ground of termites. Really tension having this kind of neighbour.

Yes, the SRJKC is definately growing, 2 weeks ago I attended their fund raising dinner in the school, they are now utilising only 1/3 of  tthe land given, so there are a lot more room for more facilities coming.

the initial goal for the fund raising is to raise about Rm80k to built a basketball court, they manage to raise RM200k+(cannot remember exact amount they mentioned), and during that night another almost 45k, so total about 270k-300k, so basketball court is definately coming, and the extras collected will be partially for the assembly hall, if plus per the article, kwang ming daily charity dinner will raise all fund collected for this year in their yearly fundraising to SRJKC Kota Emerald, the school is growing its facilities quite fast, hope the teachers will catch up and start producing good students too:)

Yes I agree and feel very heart warm when seeing many supported the school, as few days before the dinner, they already exceeded their goal.

From my understanding, you are right, there is not much publicity on the fund raising, students, parents, BOD of the school and a group of active PIBG (teachers parents association), and the ever supporting community here, they are all the one doing all the hard work in making the fund raising dinner a great success.  

Sure, next time I will post it here so everyone will also know

The developer is planning to create an Education Hub here too, per one of the video on anggun city. so beside colleges, tenby international school, chinese primary school is also very important, so they are growing and improving quite rapidly.

In fact I heard from a reputable source who is in the PIBG who heard from the BOD of the school in a meeting that the developer has already signed an MOU with a Confucious Chinese Secondary School to be relocated in Emerald West. In the near future, a lot more shall be in place
