I rather not curse anybody as we don't know the (specific group of) INDIVIDUALS who made amansiara in such a condition. It wont help either to improve the condition.
Yup many developers in our country is cutting corners here and there. and sometimes condition are even worse (like cracked walls/flooded rooms ). It affect houses of all types .... even Semi-ds and bungalows suffers.
it is impossible to have every single houses built to be free from defect, though. so I shall not curse people behind it (as I dont know its their workers fault/con or subcontractors fault/ or the highest level of people's fault).
And some actually are not their fault. its just lack of foresight by some of us to NOT TO read thoroughtly the SnP, especially the road size. I was paranoid to have read the measurements of roads/rooms in my SnP, before I sign them.
All I know is, when there are problems, FOCUS ON unity and discuss ccordially. there are sure to have solutions. FOCUS ON badmouthing will give us even less time to improve on other important things.
I've been following property discussions in local forums for like 2 years. I was interested to know their "journey" in owning a home, till getting the keys and all. Seems like they are more calm in handling these issues than us. I will learn from them.
(go to realestate.net.my and read the posts/complains there. We are not alone. 90% of developers here are pretty bad.)
Nothing good can come out from angers, except maybe INNOCENT children born without backsides.
Ok.. on a happier note... I drive to the site with my family. We parked outside the guardhouse... then walked in "coolly". the guard didn't stop us. And I've walked all the way to the phase 2 and 3. When we walked down back to the guardhouse, I saw a small sign saying "please register" to enter.
Ok.... seems like cars without sticker/access card CAN DRIVE into the site simply by REGISTERING YOURSELF. And I was so stupid in walking all the way.
Bro, yes I agree with you that cursing wont helps but it is my right and my way to release my frustration. You may find that you are getting your money worth from this developer but I think most of the owners are not too happy.
I have made my lowest expectation from this developer 3 years ago when I signed for this project and already take the calculated risk into my considerations at that time. But now the outcome is simply too much to bear.
Ya, there are many other projects that are worse than ours and I do feel blessed when my house is completed without the developer running away. But we are paying for something substandard here. Let just focus on our taman and not other failed projects.
And, as the directors of a company, I think it is their duties and responsibilities to make sure their company products and services are consistent with what being promised to the customers. SO THEY ARE OUGHT TO BE CURSED or SUED ( in a more professional manner hahahaha ).
Since you have been reading so much on property ( I do sometimes envy your knowledge on this matter

), what is the percentage that house owners often triumph over those evil developers. From what I knew, there are so much victims out there that simply do not have any means to fight the developers. These evil people most of them just get away with it by just shutting down the company and open another one. Malaysia judiciary system are just not good enough to govern and monitor this matter, there are so much loopholes for the developers to get away.
There will be house buyers everyday and these bad developers will build more houses. For those future buyers, who is going to them to be careful of this kinda developer, if we victims do not go around and tell the world about their wrongdoings to us. You may like your house and recommend this developer to your friends, it is your choice. But I do can badmouth them so they won't be more future victims.
And much have been said on setting up a committee, be united to discuss the problems with the developer..but where is the committee. If I remember correctly, there were some meetings organised but a lot of ppl failed to turn up because of their personal commitments and timing not right. If there is already one, I will be queuing up to become a member of this. Maybe you alanyuppie can be the leader for this group since you have vast knowledge on this, but if I remember correctly again, ppl have voted for you but you just denied the offer.
So now....there is no committee, no leader...so what should we do, everything just falls back to ourselves.
So to those that still have their 'feel good' feeling about their house...go on...continue to be happy. And for those that are 'aligned' with the developer, go on and spread the news on how wonderful this developer is and help them sell more houses ( maybe you guys are related or simply you work for them and camouflage to be a owner just to check on other owners view

) For me, I will continue feel my anger and badmouth them as much as I want.
Note : I have just walked to my unit and found that may car porch is one of those sloppy one...haiiiii....will the developer fix this???
