MPKj To Solve Saujana Impian Flat Woes

Saujana Impian flat residents can finally breathe a sigh of relief after the Kajang Municipal Council(MPKj) vowed to resolve problem which have been plaguing them for months.

Secretary to the flat's Joint Management Body(JMB), Rozman Mat Hazin, said that he had been seeking answers from MPKj regarding thier woes-from non working street lights to a dameged acces road due to a nearby construction since last August.

But thier problems should come to an end soon as MPKj, together with Kajang assemblyman Lee Kim Sin met at the resident's body to discuss the problems last Friday.

Afther more than hour discussion, all the parties reached a consensus to hold ameeting with JMB and the residents to address the issues.

"On behalf of JMB, I would like to thank MPKj and Lee for thier cooperation to help solve the residents' problems," he said.

However, there was a slight disagreement between Rozman and MPKj during the discussion, as the former argued that the non working street lights should fall under the responsibility of MPKj.

Taking a different stand, Lee said all the maintenance involving the flat, which includes street lights within its compound should instead fall under JMB's purview.

But there was an obstacle for JMB to carry out thier duties as they only managed to collect less than 20 per cent of maintenance fees per month from each flat owner since it took over the office in 2009, argued Rozman.

In view of this, Lee said he would propose to the state government to reduce the maintenance fees that have become a constant burden to the low cost flat owners.

It is understood that the residents have to pay RM 40 a month in maintenance fees and RM 120 in assessment tax per year.

"With this amount, the residents pay more compared to landed property owners which average around RM 200 per year in assessment tax without having to pay any maintenance fees," said Lee.

Lee also said that Commission of Buiding (COB) under MPKj and himself would urge the constructors at the nearby construction site to repair the access road and ensure that it is in good condition.

He also said he wold monitor the situation to ensure that the constuctors do not dump thier waste in the residential compound.
