Great!! So far we have walle, khyuen, pong85, maxnergy, anokcow and so on who will fight for compensation if club house facility not ready when hand over keys. I had check with some lawyers and they said we had the right to request for compensation...as it is the club house, facilities & pricing (if without this, just like some of us says it's a flat) that attracts the buyers to purchase. This are all in their websites and brochure.

We should not except free water supply as this is peanuts.

Hi guys,
Sorry to make everyone wait. Here is the update:

First of all I would like to thank YB Lau who spare some of his time for the discussion between us (buyer) and Taipan (developer). Also thanks to Jelawat and Lagendsky who attend the meeting. I was expecting for more but it’s ok, it’s better than nothing.

Anyway the meeting went on smooth and for everyone's relieve, Taipan have already submitted the 5 pending items (including the bank guarantee) to Syabas. As such during the meeting it has been decided to give 2 weeks (by 11/6/2012) to Syabas to process the application and revert Taipan. Subsequent to Syabas's reply Taipan would take 2 or 3 days to finalise everything and hand over VP by 15/6/2012. Taipan has agreed to notify buyers and YB Lau if there is no reply from Syabas latest by 11/6/2012. If this happens, YB Lau would help the buyers to arrange a meeting with Syabas to clarify on the delay. So let’s “cross finger” that Taipan have met all the requirements by Syabas and we get VP by 15/6/2012.

As for Compensation proposal, Taipan agrees to come up with the proposal as per agreement (Delay in handing over VP with completion of individual parcel and common property) on the day we get VP (15/6/2012). As per the discussion the other day, if we (buyers) not satisfy with the compensation proposal (max 10% as per agreement) then we could lodge a report at housing tribunal and let the tribunal to decide on the compensation. However, the buyers we reminded by Taipan that this compensation is only for delay in handing over VP with completion of individual parcel and common property which not includes club house and swimming pool (private property - as per agreement).

On the status of Club house and swimming pool, Taipan has committed to complete the club house and allow the tenant to use it by Dec 2012. However, this is not includes swimming pool. The swimming pool will only be completed and ready for the tenant's use upon completion of Block C (where the development is yet to begin). Estimated time of completion for Block C and subsequently the swimming pool would be July 2013 (as per what Taipan said). Besides this, Taipan have also confirmed that the Chinese temple would be relocated to new place by July 2012 which means block C works would commence on July or August 2012.

The others who came for the meeting including Taipan's representative (Mr.Simon) please feel free to reply this mail if i missed out any other decisions taken during this meeting.

Finally once again thanks for everyone who turn up for this meeting.

Guys I could you all pls PM (Hope everyone know how to PM - let me know if dont know) me your name, unit, email and hand over date as per contract and contact number (optional).
I will compile and email everyone this list. By having this we would know how many actually affected by delay hand over and also it would be easier to contact each other rather then thru this forum. It is also proper to discuss through email rather then in open forum as it would have cirtain impact on the price of our property.

If no confident and not yet get the letter from Syabas, please don't just simple announce and promise us the dishonest answer.

do you found out any different with below picture? why the tile totally different with the show room unit?

 
Show room unit                                             

Actual unit

Syabas finally approved and now with all the support documents from all departments, CF is in submmiting to MPPJ to get CF......estimate can get CF next month...this time is real...no more delay ...

Tuesday already. anyone get the letter?

Just wait!!! While all approvals are in their hands, there sure is other reasons for the delay....guess what?....architect's approval. Just stick to anokcow's reply will do.

Folks, I heard cf not ready yet.
Maybe vp at this moment only.

i mean we have until this friday to collect the key, do the defect inspection  and fill up the complaint form provided by TAIPAN.. otherwise TAIPAN will not responsible for any defect/damage/loss of the property.

I totally agree as why do we have to pay for the maintenance fees for the month of July ( maybe August) if we have not got full access to our house. If there is no water supply, no proper security and even no proper entrance yet. Also I will be going this Satuday to collect the key in the morning, anyone else coming or you all have collected the key? We have to query further and also what about the 4 month compensation?

that is the normal procedure between TAIPAN & contractor. the contractor only accept the defect complaint within 2weeks time FROM the date stated on the letter from TAIPAN. if not, u have to fixed/repair the damages by urself.

I'll have to check with my lawyers for advice too.....I haven't collected my key yet as I'm overseas. I did not intend to collect until and unless CF is issued and water, electricity is connected legally at the very least as I can't afford the headache if it's discovered otherwise.

I don't think I'm entitled to compensation until Sep/Oct. After that is a different question altogether.

Does anyone know if the condo has piped gas? I intend on fitting a tankless natural gas heater to save on power costs for my stove, dishwasher, dryer, kitchen and bathroom faucets/showers. If anyone intends to do the same, please PM me so maybe can get better pricing on the heater units.

In the S&P, there is a 24 month warranty on defects. Please don't spread rumors which scares all of us unnecessarily. We're all already pissed off with this developer and don't require any more heartache. hope you understand.

The developer has no right to say that. BTW, I ask again to those who have already collected the keys, is there any piped gas connection? They were supposed to fit as per the S&P and what the sales person told me.

For those who were asking if there was centralized astro or whatever, I believe the developer has to provide an MATV connection in each unit as per the fourth schedule in the S&P.
