Berikut adalah merupakan surat daripada setiausaha sulit D.Y.M.M Sultan Selangor kepada Dato' Bandar Petaling Jaya meminta diperjelaskan situasi mengenai perkembangan permasalahan Kondominium Paramount View.
"My wife and I got married last year March 2008, and we purchased the unit just one month before our wedding. We had been searching high and low for 3 months for a suitable home to start our married life together. And we chanced upon Paramount View booth in Carrefour Subang and immediately made a booking for the unit during the CNY 2008 holidays. And confirmed our booking and went through a stressful time with the loans as they were all "encouraging" and hounding us to take their loans.
We were promised that it would be ready by December 2008, and many other things; such as card access at the carpark, to the lobby to each unit. Based on this decision we agreed that we would tough it out in a rented room for the first year.. now it's nearly 2 years.
So, once we confirmed on one bank, we let the matter rest and then went on our merry way to purchase our unit. It was a leap of faith that we took in purchasing this unit, because we didn't know how we were really going to make the payments. However, thanks be to God that he has allowed us to earn sufficiently to pay for the condo in the past 1.5 years.
We have been steadily paying the full installments because we believe that it is not good to just serve the interest and allow the principal to remain. We maintained the rental of a room and have been sharing the house with housemates for the past nearly 1.5 years. Like any newly married we would like to have our own privacy, but we are left stranded with no condo in sight.
So you can just imagine how much a couple with average pay is paying for Rental of a room and Full payment for a condo is doing right now. We thank God our lives are simple enough for us to manage this.
My parents have been expecting to spend Christmas 2009 with us in Kuala Lumpur. And with the hold of this unit and no sign of progress in sight, we are left wondering what are we going to do with the Stove unit, water heaters & fans we have purchased for the house. They are cluttering up our own room. We have put so much effort into saving and invested so much, but what do we have in hand?
This is not the first experience we've had, whereby my wife made a purchase of an apartment in Subang Jaya a number of years ago, but that project was halted. And with no sign of completion in sight. How can the authorities allow such things go unnoticed.
Each day my wife and I pass by our PVC and pray that the completion will be done in due time. We can only have faith and hope, for we need a home to have our child that we are planning for in the very near future. We pray that all our neighbours who have rallied together will also pray that we will be given what is due to us in the right timing. Pray with us.
"May God who is just and merciful do as He pleases with those whom He has put in places of authority and responsibility, for vengence is not mine."
The Star - Wednesday July 2, 2008 , SELANGOR state assemblymen will now sit in as observers at the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) full board and committee meetings.
Kampung Tunku assemblyman Lau Weng San said this would encourage greater transparency because council committee meetings used to be closed-door meetings.
“Compared with the previous government, assemblymen were not appointed as councillors this time around but we will still monitor what's happening at the councils,” said Lau.
After a long wait and amid much speculation, the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) councillors were finally sworn in yesterday at a ceremony at the MBPJ headquarters at Jalan Yong Shook Lin.
Despite demands by representatives of PJ residents to be included as councillors, the announced list remained the same with 17 political appointees (seven from PKR, six from DAP and four from PAS) and seven NGO representatives.
Women power: (From left) Cynthia Manonmani Michael Gabriel, Latheefa Beebi Koya, Professor Madya Dr Melasutra Md Dall and Tiew Way Keng are the four female councillors sworn in at MBPJ yesterday.
All the councillors were sworn in except for Michael Soon, who was away attending to work matters.
Also present at the ceremony were PJ Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian, Kelana Jaya MP Loh Gwo Burne, Taman Medan assemblyman Haniza Mohamed Talha, Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong and Kota Damansara assemblyman Dr Nasir Hashim.
In his speech, Petaling Jaya mayor Mohamad Roslan Sakiman reminded the councillors about their duties and responsibilities in serving the people and city of PJ, and for all to work together as a team.
“The 'no wrong door policy' needs to be practised in this council,” he said, adding that the combination of professionals, politicians and NGO representatives would make the new councillor line-up a dynamic combination that would generate good ideas for the development of PJ.
Roslan said the council would decide on the 24 areas that each councillor would be in charge of and they would be required to open up a service centre at their respective areas. They would receive an annual allocation of RM100,000 each to run their service centres and the amount for this year would be pro-rated.
Councillor Ghazali Shaari (PAS) said his main concern was in areas with a high concentration of low-income earners.
“There is a big disparity between the rich and the poor and if this issue is not looked into, it would lead to social problems and is bad for society,” said Ghazali.
Urban planner Dr Melasutra Md Dali said: “ I wish that we can do better in terms of planning and nurturing the environment to make it more liveable.
Meanwhile, Kamarudin Suhaimi (PAS) hopes to see PJ become more civilised and better developed to attract tourists.
“I would like to have the various small hubs and towns in PJ to be identified and given their own unique identities, so people know which part of PJ to go to when they want something.”
Anthony Thanasayan said one of the first things he would do is to request that he be allowed to bring his dog to help him move about within MBPJ’s premise.
“I have submitted my letter of request to the mayor,’’ said Anthony who is a columnist for The Star.
