Our Condo is on a residential street in an upmarket area. Six months ago a car was parked on the road in front, near the entrance gate. It hasn't moved since then. A front wheel has been stolen, it is covered in dead leaves, the suspension is collapsing and it is covered in rust. Lots of 'warning' stickers have been plastered on the windscreen. It is obviously an abandoned car.

About a month ago another car appeared, parked right in front of this one. It too is going the same way, never moves, covered in dust and dirt, beginning to rust. Another abandoned car.

I have complained to our building management. Asked them to get them removed. They say 'it's not our fault - it's DBKL'. I've told them to call DBKL every day, keep making damn noise until they take action. But I doubt they'll bother, they are a useless lazy bunch always. They are low class people, and to them this disarray probably seems F I N E.....

IMHO the second car was dumped here because the owner saw the other one and realised - it's F I N E - nobody in that Condo gives a sh*t, so it's safe to dump here.
No doubt this is starting a trend. Probably more will appear in future.

There was an article on Paul Tan dot Org yesterday about the Federal Territory Dept being directed to talk with JPJ on how to deal with these wrecks being abandoned around the city. There's something seriously wrong with the law if the authorities are powerless to act.

Or is it just plain LAZINESS?

Why not you.

why dont you call or you too hi class to do such menial work

There's an old saying - "Why buy a dog and bark yourself?".
The BM are PAID to do this.

I did make a report to MBPJ, the reply = no reply. They do not have enough space, lol...

That's what I'd expect.
Lot's of handwringing and excuses.
No action - ever.

lodge complain directly to DBKL. Just login to adukl.dbkl.gov.my

BM cannnot do nothing since it is not whithin the building compound. That road is a public road.

I would suggest the condo residents to lodge complain to DBKL.

How does your building management also close one eyes.

Why would a sole resident complaint carry more weight than the BUILDING MANAGEMENT COMPANY who represent ALL residents?

Your logic is screwed up, but typical of Malaysians.



Wouldn't happen in Singapore.

local govt should start a RFP, for contractors to pay govt to work as the authorized agent to act on abandoned cars
1. they follow current policy, ie. 30-90days notice on the abandoned vehicle, they can tow it away afterwards
2. enact new policy, like after towing, must still keep it for 120days, in case the owner comeback
3. after end of all periods above, the contractors authorized to dispose the vehicle with JPJ, then free to act anything on it
4. contract pay a fixed fee monthly, or on profit sharing scheme with local govt


should have some red tapes to solve, like legality of disposing abandoned vehicle

As per my knowledge, Building Management Company only deals with issues within the condo compound.

Since you mentioned the cars are being left near the condo entrance, so it is not within condo compound.

Malaysia

Good idea.
But they're probably busy fighting over who gets the contract.

Meanwhile.....

So that's your answer eh?
Nothing to do laaaah....
Nemind....

BS.

What happens in well run cities around the world is like this;

1. The BM reports it to the City.

2. The City sends a tow truck.

THE END

See how it works? ....it's not too difficult for you to understand this, is it?

Thank you. I have nothing else to say.


All the best to you. Welcome to Malaysia. Malaysia works differently.

Perhaps you should look into your management contract and scrutinize the clauses on responsibility and such, instead of making ASSumptions.

jual besi buruk 1k can get

my condo mgmt put notice on the car to remove 1 mth.. no action sell to besi buruk

In your case, the car was inside the condo grounds?
