Housing Tribunal Check list

Talam Corporation Bhd (TALAM), the parent company of Sentosa Restu Sdn. Bhd., has obtained approval from Registrar of Companies (CCM) to change its name to TRINITY. What a name to change to. What is the purpose?

Sentosa Restu Sdn. Bhd is the developer of Komplek Suria Kinrara. We are fortunate to have IJM to assist the owners in completing the project. As owners of Komplek Suria Kinrara we owe our gratitude to IJM, Deloitte Consulting and Mr. Michael Koh (ex-senior manager of Sentosa Restu) for their roles in facilitating the completion of this project.

According to the SUN news report on 30 June 2011, Talam still has many abandoned housing projects. See the news clip below (courtesy of The Sun newspaper)


Owners of Komplek Suria Kinrara who want to claim LAD but yet to submit the claims,  please do so before the expiry of twelve (12) months from handover date. The official handover date is 8 October 2010. All claims to the Housing Tribunal must be submitted before the 8 October 2011.  A brochure and checklist from the Housing Tribunal, Ministry of Housing and Local Government is appended below for your reference.

MPSJ Assessment (Cukai Pintu) Valuation Protest


16 June 2011 is the last day for your objection to the MPSJ assessment valuation. All owners should submit your objection in writing to the Yang Dipertua Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya(MPSJ). Should you accept the valuation, your annual assessment(Cukai Pintu) will not be reviewed for a long time to come.  In order to facilitate your objection,  a sample of the letter is attached. You are given the permission to copy from the blog, paste to your MS Word and edit the details highlighted in yellow.



Tarikh: 8 June 2011

Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya,
(Jabatan Penilaian Dan Pengurusan Harta),
Persiaran Perpaduan USJ 5.
47610 Subang Jaya,
Selangor Darul Ehsan.

U/P: Yang Dipertua MPSJ

Tuan,

Bantahan Penilaian Harta Di D-8-05 Blok D, Komplek Suria Kinrara, Persiaran Kinrara Sek 3,
47100 Puchong, Selangor Darul Ehsan.
No. Notis:2011/1/0020016
NO. akaun: 0501020080337800
No. Rujukan: PC06900316800
Jenis Penilaian: Bangunan – Aparmen Kos Sederhana.

Merujuk kepada notis penilaian tuan bertarikh 31 Mei 2011 berkenaan harta tersebut diatas, saya tidak puashati dengan penilaian yang telah ditaksir oleh pihak MPSJ. Dengan surat ini, saya membantah penilaian atas sebab-sebab berikut:-

1.       Aparmen ini ada lah bangunan kos sederhana dan pemilik terpaksa bayar fi tambahan tiap tiap bulan kepada pengurus harta.
2.       Pihak MPSJ tidak beri hidmat penuh kepada pemilik dan penduduk di Komplek Suria Kinrara, di bandingkan dengan pemilik  pemilik rumah teres dan rumah pangsa biasa.

A) Kami kena bayar RM10.00 sebulan untuk pungutan sampah dari blok blok ke rumah sampah(Central refuge).
B) Kami kena bayar letrik untuk lampu jalan di kawasan Komplek Suria Kinrara.
c) Kami upah pekerja sendiri untuk memotong remput dan bersihkan longkang  di kawasan Komplek Suria Kinrara.
D) Kami pasang papan tanda jalan dan baiki jalan jalan di kawasan Komplek dengan wang pemilik pemilik.

Saya merayu kepada pihak MPSJ supaya kaji semula penilaian dengan nilai yang berpatutan dan tidak membebankan pemilik dan penduduk , kebanyakan nya dari golongan orang orang berpendapatan rendah.

Sebarang pertimbangan diberi atas rayuan saya amatlah dihargai.

Sekian.

Yang benar,




Name Anda(Pemilik)



Alamat Surat Menyurat:




You have only a few days  left. So, submit your objection immediately to MPSJ via registered post or hand deliver the objection and get acknowledgement of your letter.

MPSJ Assessment (Cukai Pintu) Valuation Notice.

MPSJ Assessment Valuation Notice.


By now most owners of Komplek Suria Kinrara should have received the valuation notice from Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ).  The notice dated 31 May 2011 was posted on the 6 June 2011 and reached owners either  on the 6 or 8 June 2011.

All new property owners are given a reasonable time frame to lodge objection or protest  (*bantahan), if there is disagreement with the valuation raised by the Municipal Authority(MPSJ). The deadline for the submission of your protest is 16 June 2011. Is this reasonable?  This proved a point that the Municipal Authority (MPSJ) is not sincere in listening to the views or protest from the property owners.  By the time you submit the protest, they would have claimed it has passed the deadline. This is their usual dirty tactics. Therefore, send your protest via registered mail or deliver by hand to MPSJ office and get official acknowledgement (*Akuan penerimaan).

All owners of Komplek Suria Kinrara must lodge protest on the valuation raised. The percentage of rateable value is fixed. But the valuation itself is subjective. The Valuation should be RM3,000 instead of RM3,600.  Suria Kinrara owners must protest because MPSJ did not provide full service to the Komplek, namely:-
1.    1. The sweeping of the roads in the Complex.

2. 2.  The collection of garbage by MPSJ from the Complex is from the central refuge (garbage) house only. Owners of Suria Kinrara shop and apartment have to pay garbage collection fees of RM10.00 per month to the management office.

3.  3.  Street lighting and grass cutting in the compound is managed and paid for by the owners via the management company.

The Owners/Residents Association of Komplek Suria Kinrara must also make a collective protest to the MPSJ, in addition to the individual protest by each and every owners.

The apartment owners should not be paying RM300.00 (Cukai Pintu RM180.00 + Garbage collection RM120.00) yearly for the property. Assessment (*Cukai pintu) covers street lighting, road maintenance, garbage disposal, drainage maintenance along the roads and housing area and grass cutting. Sewage treatment and disposal was part of Assessment (*Cukai Pintu).

By 1 July 2011, MPSJ will commence collection of Assessment (*Cukai Pintu) from owners directly. You shall no longer be paying assessment to the developer, Sentosa Restu (M) Sdn. Bhd.
