i really hope empire don't cut cost and nothing happen in our city. although empire may be greedy but wish he's still know what he's doing

your comment reminds me the Taiwan earthquake last month where Wei Kuan Building A collapse and fall onto building B causes 2 building collapsed. Investigator found developer cut cost causes the tragedy.

if empire city collapsed it may have domino effects as buildings build so near to each other.

well u won't know until it's too late

Er I don't think that is right .

If you sign a developer spa drafted by a developer lawyer then the lawyer represents the developer. You need to get your own representation if you want to dispute.

No conflict of interest

most buyers very cheapskate, sure they take Developer lawyer firm to get free legal

siapa cakap....go do a search on court case filed then come back tell me
u always say no since last time...now seems like many cases from many parties.....i dengar also confuse

correction on ur number of instalments....is 9 months already according my sourcey.....

I fail to understand why "Mr Lim" the non-owner is tanking the developer and doing all the exposé whereas very little owners have come forward with their own photos and complains.

Even in this thread I don't notice any actual owners are giving their side of story(ies). Majority comments are from outsiders which are non-owners.

As a non-owner, Mr Lim is even proceeding to attend to the LOD and seemed prepare to fight for the "truth". I may understand his stance and action if he's an actual owner and is suffering for potentially huge financial losses, but by just exposing the photos which went viral after 2 days, he could've just retracted it with apology and move on with his life without any harm to his pocket.

Yet, where are all the owners?

No matter which stance the owners take ie. 1. Pray developer complete it sooner rather than later or 2. Persuing the developer via legal channel, it's a lose-lose situation.

If they chose 1. and keep quiet, developer may be more daring and delay it even further, but there's a chance that it will eventually complete anyway. Owners suffer temporary losses of loan repayment while waiting for their units to be completed properly.

While if they proceed with option 2. by going through legal means, developer will too, counter with their papers that most - if not all - owners have signed without actually understanding it and are usually sided towards the vendor. Worst case scenario, developer found guilty and ruled to pay huge compensation, they may pack up, declare company bankruptcy and there goes the buildings in an abandoned state.

It's a huge dilemma for owners, I couldn't decide myself which route I will take if I'm one at the moment. I just don't understand why a non-owner is going public and yet still not backing down despite developer's LOD in which he will suffer potential financial losses for something that he's not even involved in. Getting the photos viral for a few days is really a good enough wake up call for owners, but why he is continuing to fight for a battle that is not even his?

aiyo again dont simply open mouth when dun know the story line.....those that dont tcss here doesnt mean not taking action....in fact people here is all talk no actions
i for sure know there are few group filing class actions NOW....now...see or not now
EC u dun worry......hundreds are there waiting to file class action suit.....the interesting one is ER....under HDA.....see wat those owners can "menelan" this dev habis2 or not
as for that one dun know call wat....yah remix.....that one sorrylah hah.....even the land owner also boh pien already let alone these small stakeholder buyers

and you mr haka.....dun go pour salt into people wound and close ur big mouth too....those are their hard earn money....y dun u curse the dev instead

how u know EC owners are not behind him??
and pls....dun ever mentioned about the agony or losses buyers will suffer if dev pack up.....
kalau mau gulung tikar.....terus buat sekarang
if fact it might eventually turn out to be a blessing

It is good to know some owners have made their choice and went for legal means as you said.

My point is, I fail to understand why Mr Lim keep insisting on pursuing the case (now that he have successfully alerted and woke up many owners) and potentially suffer time and financial losses even if he's not an owner.

No matter what, I hope this whole project will be completed sooner rather than later. This is a huge scale project which if it fail will potentially have a domino effect on the market in years to come.

All the best to all owners.

Bro..not all the owner also come here and post comment..
fyi, we r ready to sue developer soon..

All the best to you. May all the odds be in your favor.

Isn't that too later already?
You should have your lawyer, looking thru the SPA and highlight any dodgy clause to you, before you sign.

Believe many buyers are flippers, don't intend to stay. They will let go at the first opportunity. Hence, won't be interested to take any legal action against the developer.

Only?

Cina dan india pun ada banyak bangunan tumbang leh

This developer balance sheet pretty bad my friend told me.

Yes exactly.
I believe 80-90% of units sold were flippers or non own stayers.
Investors bought 10-20units at one go de....

Even ownstay owners bought for own stay wlll change their mind about staying there after their vp or whatever the dev called it these days....

I havent been to ec but did visit ed when 'vped'.....over my dead body to stay there.....even for short term....
Taking the lift is like riding a roller coaster......scare scare.

That is not considered cheapskate. Many people use developer lawyer but must see which developer.

walau, cyber attack is getting hot already...

I wonder how long this will take to make it to the mainstream media...

Taiwan also got....

conspiracy theories:
- maybe that's the exact reason. he's not an owner therefore he can say whatever he want without implication to the actual owners.
- usually in such cases, lawyers would have advised client to hush hush. anything, talk in court. hence probably the low rate of actual owners complaining in public. so goes back to the privilege of not being an owner.
- also maybe using him as test case on various scenarios before actual court proceeding. who knows he could be undercover agent for other owners.
- maybe he is undercover agent for other firms trying to sabo ME. a competitor developer.
- maybe he could potentially gain more traffic to his actual biz and be prepared to take up the responsibilities for his actions?

idk. just saying yo!
