Just to share my experience in a older condo. Not advisable. The pipes can't take it, had cases where pipes burst all over, was a nightmare for downstairs units. Would also like to know if this is legal.

Wah, I looked into this before, strata law states that:

If the building manager discovers that the leaking utility does not belong to the complainant, he shall serve a 7-day written notice to the upstairs neighbour for a joint inspection. Denial of access for inspection and rectification work by said neighbour is an offence and may, upon conviction, be liable to a fine of less than RM50,000 or imprisonment of less than three (3) years, or both.

Step 3: If the relevant parcel owner fails to trigger the rectification work within seven (7) days, the management shall forthwith rectify the leakage and charge the owner accordingly. Failure to repay the expenses incurred may lead to a case of default.

Curious how your case turned out?

Guys need some advice on this bit of strata law regarding removal of items from common areas:

20. Prohibition of obstruction

(2) The management corporation may without prior notice, remove or confiscate any property of a proprietor, including but not limited to, bicycles, potted plants, vases, furniture, trolleys, boxes, goods or objects of any kind whatsoever. The management corporation may put up a notice of any removed or confiscated property which may be claimed by the proprietor within fourteen days from date of the notice subject to payment to the management corporation of a charge not exceeding two hundred ringgit. If a removed or confiscated property is not claimed at the expiry of the period of fourteen days, the management corporation may discard or dispose of such property as it deems fit without any liability to the proprietor.

If the management didn't put items into storage but instead just straight up trashed it what can be done on the owner's side?

Thanks! Yes owner indeed has all the video proof needed. Which court is that? The Strata Tribunal?
