first, define the foot noise. Stomping on purpose? or exercising? they could be doing work out like jumping jacks and didn't use a yoga mat.

an eye for an eye if you really want a permanent solution, cause the same degree of disturbance on them too by 'cucuk langit' lolol

Condo in msia build like shit.

Can hear 2-3 floors above you someone stomping
Even downstair someone slam door also can hear
Even your right and left condo, the fella bathing at 430 am also can hear the fella slaming his ceramic mug on the tiles while brushing teeth.

Never trust a sly foxy msia developer.

Buy sub-sale
Never buy a newly launch one
If you intend to stay
Newly launch one based on showroom - only buy if you want for investment
Newly launch one, you can't feel the doors, some showroom no doors at all, you can't feel the flush of toilet, and see the defects
Farking developers in Msia - their QC check is for customer to raise defect listing
They don't even bother to do their own QC check
I work in manufacturing line - all our products are certified QC check.
then why developer no need the responsibility to do QC check baffles me.

ANother reason don't buy newly launch is that you dunno your neighbors
and you certainly dunno the quality of your condo management
That's why buy sub sale for staying purposes.

Last few properties I bought, I personally knew the developer
so I can see the list and know who exactly staying next to me
Excluding the biggest mistake I ever made was the property I recently bought and moved in
This developer completely alluded me
The project director is a tidak apa attitude fella - he thinks what works for him works for everybody

Agree. Developers only want to make as much money as possible.

Nowadays they build higher and higher but quality is not there.

No sound proofing and no water proofing.

Damn, your condo management is absolutely useless
You should geng up with other owners during AGM to boot out this useless condo management
My condo have better set of rules to control these noises but onus of proof must come from you in terms of video recording
Unfortunately, I can hear chair dragging sound up to 4 floors above me.
Yes its that bad.
During MCO was really bad
But I am glad that there is a construction next to my condo
So any idiot who is thinking of sleeping late will be awaken by the construction next door.
I think the major problem with your condo, is the management.
Talk to other neighbors, accumulate complain and try to boot them out next AGM.

Is it just you and your wife ? you have kids ?
If no kids, you can activate world war 3
they stomp, you go to your toilet early morning and start slamming ceramic to your tiles. Or your toilet bowl lid, just drop it.
Your upstair sure can hear
But downstair also can hear, so be ready for complain
or you can take a ladder, can use a hammer to hit the ceiling. Hope you don't have plaster ceiling.
I always think condo plaster ceiling is a waste of money, I don't even bother to waste money doing it.

Long term you can consider to move out and rent your unit
But you move to landed and also rent
until you find a longer term

For me, I also hate to stay in condo
Condo in msia really suck to stay in
developer really useless one
They claim they do QC check but none at all
as a result all the main door slam loudly, due to rosak door closer
floor to floor also lack insulation
I stay in Australia and HK also not get this type of shit
Except in London, my condo have that stupid piping problem sound everytime my neighbor flush his toilet
Only in Msia, condo is built like crap and they never bother to think about sound insulation

Your condo say before 11pm mean can do renovation in weekend also ?
Damn if yes, really useless tak guna management
My condo not allow renovation any time in public holiday and weekends.
Strictly owner will get fined.

Cucuk langit method cannot be done because I put a farking nice plaster ceiling with downlights. 13 years ago, I thought this condo build quality is good with surrounding nice and quiet.

Maria Takagi, you are totally spot on about our Malaysia condo build quality. The developers are trying to cut short on material quality and also bad workmanship. I strongly suspect the floor has hollows that resonate with the stomping sound. Imagine the foot noise sounds like subwoofer bass.   

We are considering the option about moving to landed but also need to survey the surrounding neighbours.

I once had a crazy neighbor upstairs that can't stop running from 2am to 5am.
Luckily I rented that unit for 1 month from my uncle.
I had enough after 2 weeks, I moved out.

Condo has so many problem with sound
1) dragging chair/furniture
2) footstep sound
3) Slamming door sound
4) Bomba now require new condo to install fire proof door: they are heavy and lazy ass developers don't do QC check on the door closer, so most door closers are defective causing units to super slam the main door until dead also wake up
5) ceramic cup sound of your neighbor brushing teeth and put the cup on the granite toilet tile

Almost all condo in Msia have hollow floors.
Only those very high class posh ones near KLCC, cost > 2 million per unit, have insulation
Moving to landed is a costly option
because you have to buy second hand
A single storey house in PJ cost 700k
A double storey one probably cost 950k
Then you need another 250k to renovate
You also need to headache to hire a reliable contractor that can do your whole renovation work
I have a friend who hired a contractor to extend his house from 2 storey to 3 storey, keep on asking for more money but work not completed
then he stopped giving the money and his house was in limbo was another 1 year
until he found another contractor to finish his home
He learn the valuable lesson of being cheated

Get to know the occupants on the unit above that culprit. Then pakat with then to lompat2 together from there. Hell from above.

So many horror stories about getting a nice property in Malaysia.... 
1 more thing, our Strate Title and Building Act is very vague about nuisance. You can sue the noisemaker on creating nuisance, but there is no proper baseline about what considers nuisance. It is up to the judge decision to determine that.

The unit above the mofo is penthouse. I can afford the penthouse if selling off current unit.
If this plan materialized, I will drop steel balls above his master bedroom every fricking night on random time!!!
Also wear wood clogs (kasut kayu) whole day walking.

TS, I think you have 2 options, since you cannot cucuk langit.
1. Talk nicely with them
2. Talk fiercely with them.

This is the downside of staying in condo. There are other disadvantages too:
Neighbours washing balcony and the dirty or soapy water splashes into your unit,
Smokers downstairs,
Smoke from josssticks,

they not only want to build higher

Too many developers out there

I talked nicely to them before, even try to call them via intercom.
When I walked up to talk nicely, they said I made their kid cried. It ended up in a shouting match.

WTF? 

Yes, too many developers building extremely high condos on very small land.

They flood the roads with large number of cars even though the roads are already congested.

Why did DBKL/MPPJ etc approve this type of project?

I heard there was one developer who built a high rise condo on land that was meant for public park in Bukit Jalil.

Very few people are civilised and reasonable, it's best you sell your unit.
