More Residents Speaking Up!

Dear RA,

Having seen what happened last Saturday, I am very disappointed. The worst is this may just be the begining of bigger problem, when flood water gets into the house! I just want to bring a few points of this issue. The problem may not just be the internal drainage system within the TMP compound. I believe the internal drainage can cater for that sort of rain. I believe the real problem is stormwater can't "get out" of our compound due to the full capacity of the main drain in front of our entrance. When there is heavy downpour, I observe that the main drain will be near its full capacity (but not overflow yet).
Therefore, apart from our "beloved" developer, we still need to get MPSJ / JPS (depends on who is maintaning the main drain) to be involved to resolve this. Potential solution is to find another drainage discharge outlet (apart from the main drain; I can see the "lake" only). However, this will involve a lot of $$ to re-design and re-do the drainage gradient; possibly at Phase 3B. Another root cause is the design platform of TMP is not "high" enough. Useless to talk about it because there is nothing we can do about it now. Obviously, substantial amount of $$ saved on earthwork.

Another sickening sight is our guardhouse and entrance. Frequent beakdown of boom gate, dodgy CCTV (working or not working, I don't know), road barrier (why is it there? this is still a construction site? to stop motorbike????), insufficient road lighting, fast car / motorbike from industrial area, heavy lorry moving in/out from our entrance (dropping earth, dirty & damage the road) etc.
For the boom gate, I think the motor is under-powered. It can't support a long boom. When I visit One Utama, I noticed that their car park boom is the type when it lifts up, it will form an "L" shape (the mid section will fold and held by a tie back to the motor). I guess this will lessen the stress on the motor and less breakdown.

The guardhouse is the "face" of TMP. With the current deteriorating state, I believe our house value will drop. Floor tiles fallen off, dirty, potholes at the entrance etc need to be adressed.

I faced similar issues when I lived in an apartment by a shit developer called T****, and I can understand why it happens. I thought things will get much better when I moved here but doesn't seem worth the $$ paid for.

I hope the RA (with the backing of all residents) can bring all these issues up with the developer, authorities and MP/DUN. Thanks.
