Well, well and well......love to utter these words and I believe this is the perfect time to say "I Told You So Malton Bhd". Please click this link to see why? (Pics taken after the flood 14.10.2007)
This is a perfect and classic example of a developer like Malton Bhd not paying heed to the numerous complaints of its residents and this is the end result. This is headline stuff, imagine paying for a RM 380,000 plus home and having to deal with flooding after more than 1 year living in Taman Mutiara Puchong.
This incident was avoidable and definitely could have been prevented by Malton Bhd as the Resident Association have on numerous occasion highlighted the flooding of the backlane drainage as well as the drainage sump filled with sand and not to mention the gradient of the said drains is not optimum for enhancing drainage water flow out of TMP. (Please refer to pevious post as well as photo chronicle and do pay special attention to the dates of the posts, many months ago).
This is a very serious affair and we will make sure all home owners and Malaysians as well as propective home buyers will be informed of the incident as to how to avoid being in the position like residents in TMP as well how better the respective government agencies should govern developers that do not practice proper corporate social responsibility.
This is something we can all learn from and this is a slap in the face to Malton Bhd, as a main board listed company in Malaysia apparently ranked 32nd in the list of top developers in the country to have such an incident in one of its development portfolio. It a shame and it is unacceptable. Believe me this is one of the many issues unresolved and we the RA and all the residents are now even more united and vigilant after this. We will not waver our rights nor will we compromise from now on but instead "DEMAND" that Malton Bhd act now on every single justifiable complaint we have submitted to date and we will not stop in our efforts to lobby all governmental agencies and regulatory body until Taman Mutiara Puchong is the way it was suppose to have been built and delivered to all home owners.
Please advice all your friends and family members to be careful and to do the necessary research before purchasing from any developers. Spread the word let it be known that not all developers are the same and not all can be trusted and depended upon when push comes to shove and when promises made are not honoured.

Lucky Harriet did not get electricuted!!! The park lights will be switched on from the timer ... and it's high voltage, the connection cables and the box is weather proof but not water proof. I think we as residents should not tolerate anymore ... what a LOUSY, MONEY GREEDY developer ...
ReplyDeleteCall TV3 edisi siasat, and all the medias to give them a boost on their sales package which will include not just free VIVA but flood and termites too
The developer needs to provide a proper explanation. How can this happen? We were lucky the rain stopped. Imagine the catastrophe had it continued and flood water went into our houses. I dread to think of the assets that would have been damaged or worse, the valuation of our houses would have gone spiraling down. This is very serious and needs to be rectified immediately. As owners we need to be assured it will not happen again.
ReplyDeleteHurrah!!Now we can have our very own lake!(and it's right on top of our park too) That is a two-in-one offer i can assure you no other developer can offer you when you buy a new house! The first underwater landscaped park in the world developed by the very innovative developer Malton Berhad.
ReplyDeleteHurrah!!! Now we can have our very own lake!(and it's right on top of the park too)That is an amazing two-in-one offer i can assure you no other developer can give you when you buy a new house. The first underwater landscaped park in Malaysia proudly brought to you by Malton Bhd.
ReplyDeleteIt's time for all residents of Mutiara Puchong to speak up and be heard. Please stand up for your rights as a house buyer. Do not just stand by the side and expect just the few of our outspoken RA committee members to do the work. It doesn't work that way. We need all the support we can get.
ReplyDeleteOur society has long been nurtured in such a way that most of us do not want to voice opinions or dissatisfaction against anyone for fear of repercussions(e.g. residents who think we can be sued or sent to jail for telling the truth about an irresponsible developer-how preposterous!)Can we blame our fellow Malaysians. We've all been brainwashed since young to be seen and not to be heard. Teachers told us to be quiet all the time. Don't ask questions till you are asked to speak, they say.
It's difficult to discard this type of thinking but we can all try yes?
Just because we were lucky this time that the rain stopped in time doesn't mean we'll be spared the next. It's a small little wake-up call from the great one above for us to sit up and do something before it's too late. Now after the first experience of flood I am sure each time it rains a little too heavily all of us will be worrying and looking out for the first signs of flooding even if it disrupts our sleep in the middle of the night, While i bet our dear Malton Bhd's CEO or COO or whatever O is comfortably snoozing in their well-built houses.(probably not ones built by their own company)
Honestly, I did not expect that when I moved here from Petaling Jaya, I would be moving to a possible flood prone Kampung! Although admittedly, PJ Sect 14 where I grew up was a flood prone area but that was in the 1970s! It's the year 2007 and we've just celebrated our 50th Merdeka. What does that tell you about how much has changed?
We have to make the change to stand up for our rights! Malton has to change! Change for the better! Become a more responsible, caring and far-sighted developer not a short-changing, solely profit-centric one.
