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?

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

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

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.

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?

It's not in front of MY apartment. In fact it's nowhere near MY apartment.
It's in front of a CONDOMINIUM! There are HUNDREDS of apartments.
But unlike most of you lowlifes - I CARE about the environment and the APPEARANCE of my neighbourhood.
If you don't give a damn about these things you get what we see already in the country - crap environments, litter, decay and dirt.

And before you say it again - I REPEAT - I report it to the PAID BM, who has the RESPONSIBILITY to care for the Condo, and represents it's hundreds of residents, who PAY him to do that.

Malaysia will never progress because too many Malaysians just don't give a damn. Everything is excuses and buck passing. Even when paid to do a job - find a way to blame somebody else and AVOID WORK.
