My advice to all potential buyers and realty negotiators: don't ever go near any projects carried out by that Group of companies. You will only have numerous heart sicks and disappointments every step of the way. No projects carried out by them were done well or on time. Just drive around BBK and you will know what I mean. Caveat Emptor!!

According to the guideline issued by The Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the relevant commencement date for LAD claim should be the date when purchasers paid the booking fees and not the subsequent date when the S&P Agreement was signed.

Actually, if you asked me - it is gone case the moment you booked. Deemed yourself lucky that your house is delivered albeit not to your satisfaction.

Do you think that Usahasama Utama and other Acmar group of companies are worried about your complaint? Think again.

Please count your blessings when they finally deliver your house. Other projects developed by them are not so lucky and some are still waiting after more than 12 years.

HaHaHa ....

Don't get me wrong. Your message on 10th Jan in this forum is asking (more like begging) the developer to build your house according to the RM400+K quality standard or else you will report to the relevant authorities.

My message to you is don't waste your time begging but go ahead and complain although your complaints will not affect them - they are hardcore delinquent.

You should just go ahead to complain to all relevant authorities and media as you have been shortchanged. In fact, if you have done your homework, you would not have bought anything developed by this Group or the Tee family. Good Luck.

It is a fair request but quite pointless to expect quality work from this Group. Please read the opening 5 words of Zomba's 2nd para "If not we all will ...". Frankly the developer will not be bothered with any threats. So my advice still stands - please lodge your report now (as your threat to report will not work) to all the relevant authorities and media.

You might want to refer to the developers blacklisted in the Ministry of Housing and Local Government website.

1] Blacklist of Developers with Sick Projects:
http://www.kpkt.gov.my/kpkt/fileupload/pem...T_31DIS2012.pdf

No: 123 Perspektif Masa Sdn Bhd
No: 127 PNSB Acmar Sdn Bhd
No: 178 Usahasama Utama Sdn Bhd

2] Blacklist of Developers who failed to pay compound fine
http://www.kpkt.gov.my/kpkt/fileupload/pem...n_31DIS2012.pdf

No: 349 Perspektif Masa Sdn Bhd

Then read up the 3-parts article on Amendment to Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966:
http://www.iproperty.com.my/news/tag/the-h...opment-act/4225

If you think you have a case, then lodge your complaints to the Tribunal for house buyers (there is a upper limit of RM50,000):

http://ehome.kpkt.gov.my/main.php?Content=...115&IID=&Page=1

If claim value exceeds RM50,000 you will need to file a civil suit through your lawyer.

Please refer to the following websites on their completed, current and stalled/delayed projects:

http://www.acmar.com/Kl%20Ampang.html
http://www.drapportvilla.com/index.html
http://www.acmar.com/Property%20Development.html
http://www.acmar.com/page1043.html

When they do finally deliver your house, it is the beginning of your other nightmares. Good Luck.

CAVEAT EMPTOR

Who do you blame if you paid the down-payment and signed the Sales & Purchase Agreement without doing enough background check on what you are buying into?

Who do you blame if you never check the reputation of the developer or the persons behind the developer company?

Who do you blame if you are seduced by beautiful brochures?

Who do you blame if you never check the end products (example Phases 1 – 4) before buying?

Who do you blame if you never check out the location (which is former mining land and near pylons)?

Who do you blame if you are inexperience but never (or too proud to) consult others before buying?

Who do you blame if you leap before you look?

Who do you blame if you just complain in this forum instead of going to the authorities?

Who do you blame if, after graduating, you still expect others to spoon feed you with information (just like when you were still in the varsity)?

Who do you blame if you are slow in exercising (or never exercise) your rights as a buyer/consumer?

Who do you blame if you ignore the mantra for buying property, i.e. Location, Location, & Location?

Who do you blame if you just sit there looking pretty and expect others to do the homework for you?

Who do you blame if you ignore the century old advice in Latin “Caveat Emptor” (Let the Buyer Beware)?

Answer:
ONLY YOU YOURSELF TO BLAME!!

In case you didn’t realise that I have answered, please read my earlier post #459. Whatever crap I wrote in post #460 I am glad I got your attention and hopefully the attention of all future buyers as well. Before you can solve a problem you must first acknowledge that there is a problem and that you are also contributory to the problem. The truth always hurts, especially so when you can’t blame anyone else for your (in a way, self inflicted wounds &) problems.

I will not stop commenting in this forum as long as I know there will be more gullible buyers (for phase 6) being enticed by their websites and beautiful brochures.

That is one good solution (i.e., initiating a Class Action or Representative Action), but it is tough and expensive. If you want faster resolution you should lodge your individual complaint directly to the Tribunal /Pemudah if your claim does not exceed RM50,000.

Of course not. The developer must not try to short-change the buyers and neither should the buyers allow them to get away without paying for their folly. Frankly I think the Group has been getting away with lots of unfulfilled promises – see also their D’Rapport, BBK Business Park, Port Tech City projects. That is why I said earlier that you should consider yourself lucky if they finally deliver your house.

Sorry to disappoint you - I am not one of Acmar Staff. If I were, I must be mad to crack my own rice-bowl.

I am just an investor and have been following this Group's development projects after I nearly bought one of their projects launched sometime in 2007/08 and till to date they have re-launched 2-3 times but still nothing comes up above ground level, except for the showroom and foundation pile-caps.

Yes, you are right that I didn't buy any in Taman Putra Impiana. I did go to the showhouse for Phase 3A or 5 (can't really remember which phase but it was in April 2010) and was very impressed by its built-up quality and design but luckily I was told by my friend that it is the same Acmar Group and then I remembered their other stalled projects in Klang and Kuala Lumpur.

I fully agreed with you that the developer has to deliver to the quality standards promised / shown in their show-house and failing which they have to reimburse the buyers if they can't or won't make good their promise.

This is a free country and I have as much right as you have to participate in this forum.

You would serve your community better if you could channel your anger and fiery energy to tackle the developer.

Don’t bark at the wrong tree and don’t let your anger blind you that you can’t strategise further to solving your problem. Throwing tantrums in this forum will not solve your problems. With more bad publicity their Phase 6 and subsequent phases will not sell and that may force the developer to improve and also keep their promises to the older phases. Ability to plan and strategise in this situation will ‘separate the men from the boys’.

For a start if it is not already done, why don’t you set up a Residents Association to pull all your Phase 1-5 buyers together?

House buyers should band together in order to have more clout when dealing with developers and agencies.

Read this article by National House Buyers Association:

You must be a die-hard optimist or a masochist. With so much bad publicity with their group of companies and all their projects you still go in. Just do yourself a favour, find a good excuse to walk away if you can, eg. loan not approved, etc.
