It'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.
Our 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.

Congratualation MALTON !!! You have just managed to develope the first moden housing area which can be flooded ..... and hopefully next time, you guys should give us something in the brochure like, gated and guarded housing area, which includes, auto gate, motion sensors, alarm and may be FLOOD ALARM as well cause the flood will be given free during monsoon season. And we can have tresspasser olimpic event cause the height of the so called fence /gate is good enough for everybody to climb or jump in.
