Formation of JMB

After a reminder letter from MPSJ requesting the developer  to call a meeting to form the Joint Management Board (JMB), Sentosa Restu responded by pacifying the Authority and informed that a JMB formation meeting will be called in January 2012.
Letter from Sentosa Restu to MPSJ on the formation of JMB

Based on my reliable sources of information, the JMB meeting is unlikely to take place. FFMS Suria Kinrara is unable to complete the accounts for the first 12 months, get them audited and present the accounts to the developer, MPSJ and the owners. FFMS has managed Komplek Suria Kinrara for more than one year.  I smell fishiness on the accountability of all the collections by FFMS. 

The risk is that a large portion of the payment by owners are made in cash. This give the management staff plenty of opportunities to misappropriate.  The clamping fees collection, the car park rental are just two items easily pocketed.  The Resident Association has requested for the accounts but the request was turned down.  This just shows how arrogant the Management company is. Once the JMB is formed, they would be hounded like a criminal without forgiveness or mercy.  FFMS and their directors are responsible for this. If needed to, FFMS would be slapped with court action.

The RA request all owners of Suria Kinrara to co-operate and understand the need of each other.  Please help to disseminate this piece of information to those without access to blogs and e-mail. Also, please convey the message to those less fortunate owners who are unable to read English.

When the JMB meeting is called, please be present and elect responsible people to helm the JMB.

Some Uncivilised Residents

This owner placed all the renovation materials along
the corridor. He thinks it is his right to do so.
This is not his property. This is @ Block D - Unit D-8-03, Owner Lee Kian Hock.


It is really depressing to see so many sick and incivilised people living in Komplek Suria Kinrara. Sometimes, my effort to make this a pleasant and preferred place for abode is seem in vain. I have help to resolve so many issues with the developer, Authority(MPSJ) and the Management company only to find some owners and tenants  behaving irresponsibly.  Irrespective of whether they are tenants or owners, some residents of Suria Kinrara do not respect the usage of Common properties or respect their  neighbours. Some owners do renovation work beyond the permitted hours. Some cause nuisance to their neighbours by making noises at odd hours.
Is this somebody's storage area? @ Level 1,
above the lift lobby.


Besides the Africans, some local Malaysians do not behave like civilized people. They obstructed the corridor, kept  pets, playing loud music, vandalized lift, swimming pool toilets and painted advertisement on the wall or scribbled on the wall.

Where do they  came from?  Are they from the undeveloped countries or from the jungle.
This toilet @ the swimming pool.
The seat & cover is broken and not replaced

The Common properties such as lifts, corridors and lift lobby, playground, driveway  and street light in the complex, fire fighting system, control room, swimming pool and toilets are all common properties belonging to every owner of Suria Kinrara. Common properties are not owned by the Developer or Management company but You and Me.
Shower room @swimming pool. This is so dirty and
floor trap damaged.


If owners cannot respect  common properties, they should not be part of this community.  If the tenants are misbehaving, they should be evicted without hesitation.

Part of this problem is due to poor policing by Management company, FFMS Suria Kinrara and bad house rules or no house rules.

We need all owners and tenants to co-operate and behave themselves.  With the JMB formed later, recalcitrant owners  and tenants will be dealt with more effectively. Hope the JMB do not have to resort to such action.

We have another big problem with Developer on the Strata Title. Watch out for my next posting.

Does this Developer has any Integrity left?

Is it so difficult for Sentosa Restu (M) Sdn. Bhd. (Trinity Bhd formerly known as Talam) to call a meeting of all the owners/buyer of Suria Kinrara to form a JMB?

The Joint Management Board (JMB) is the proper body recognised under the law to manage common property such as apartment, condominium and shopping complex with multiple owners. These classes of common property are to be jointly managed by the owners with one representative from the developer.


The law is very clear and straight forward.  The Building and Common Property (Maintenance & Management) Act 2007 –Act663 is not a complex piece of statute law. Yet the developer has chosen to ignore this and taking the risk of penalty under this law, including imprisonment.

This just proved further the kind of developer and their respect for the rights of the purchasers/owners and the law of the country. Is there any integrity left in them?
The Commissioner of Building had sent a letter to the developer on 31 October 2011. A reminder was sent on 15 November 2011. Up to the date of this posting, there is still no response from the developer.

All owners must stand up and fight for your rights. The developer cannot continue to manage Komplek Suria Kinrara with this unsatisfactory state.

A "LITTLE INDIA OF PUCHONG"

Komplek Suria Kinrara became “Little India of Puchong”.  This was proclaimed by one banner put up by a shop keeper. Who has the authority to do this? 
This shop is the main culprit. Blasting his Indian music at top volume. 

This stand alone stall at the far end of Block B.
 Residents Association (RA)did not endorse this. The Deepavali Bazaar was proposed by an Indian shop and supported by the Management company, Mr. Vicky and Bala. The RA did set strict conditions, but the management went ahead despite not having the  full  compliance to the conditions.  This irritated many owners and residents. Loud Indian music blasting the entire complex disturbing the peace of the residents. It was so loud that it can rupture the ear drum, if one goes near.

Rubbish was strewn everywhere on the road and the playground. A fight broke out between resident and bazaar operator.

This is how FFMS (Fadzilah & Fikri Management company) manage this place. You see for yourselves and be the judge.

Soon, the Christains will demand Christmas Bazaar, Chinese would want a Chinese New Year  market  and the Muslim would set up a  Ramandan Bazaar and Pasar Tani.  Finally, somebody will want a Pasar Malam once a week.   Hey!  Komplek Suria Kinrara is mainly a residential complex with 115 shops only, compared to 1016 apartment units.

Is the management  company allowing  this bazaar just for the sake of a few ringgit?  Would the owners and residents want this? 

And where did all the miscellaneous income gone to?  No account is shown to RA committee member, inspite of the request made.

Do they think that this is DBKL flats or PPR?

In addition, the management company is talking to a telecommunication company to install equipment on roof top.  RA committee has unanimously rejected the request.  Owners should be alert to ensure that no telecommunication tower or equipment is installed on the roof top of Komplek Suria Kinrara.  This is a health hazard to all residents.

Let have some order and control over the complex. Owners of Komplek Suria Kinrara must stand up and face the reality. You invested and own this place, not the management company.
If FFMS cannot manage properly, please ask them to give up gracefully, and let other more capable company to manage our property.

All owners must come forward and take control.  When the JMB meeting is called, ensure your presence to appoint responsible members to the JMB.


The SUCCESS or FAILURE of this complex is in your hand. It can become a nice CONDOS or TURN INTO A SLUM.

Who is Managing Komplek Suria Kinrara?

This bus is parked at the end of Block D,
next to TNB substation.
Occupied Motorcycle parking bays.
Who permit this?
Wow!  Bus can park at the motorcycle parking  bays in Komplek Suria Kinrara.  Later, trailers and lorries will come in as well. 

Restaurant operators can set up open kitchen at the back lane of the shops designated for loading and unloading. They put tables and chairs plus cooking stoves encroaching the lane, making it impassable to traffic.

Wow! This is your own private kitchen?
This lane is common property for loading
and unloading of goods for the shops.

Why did FFMS (management company of Komplek Suria Kinrara) allowed this?  During the RA meeting on 8 October 2011, the new manager, Mr. Bala, has the cheek to inform the 
committee that these are beyond their control. What kind of management company and manager is Suria Kinrara having?


  A property manager can say that he has no control over the common property. He opened his mouth like a lorry exhaust pipe. Do the owners of Suria Kinrara want this kind of manager?  You decide for the future of your property investment in Suria Kinrara.

This shop thinks he owns the road shoulder,
planted with shrubs and green. Who gave him
the right to do this?  Management company
said shop owner RA gave permission. Who?
This is common property. Nobody can touch.
Management company is liable to restore
this place/
The whole Komplek Suria Kinrara is under one master title H.S. (D) 243823 PT 948 Pekan Puchong Jaya, Daerah Petaling. This title will not and cannot be sub-divided. The shop and apartment owners will only get a Strata title later. The whole plot of land is private property. This whole complex cannot be surrendered to the local government, MPSJ. 


MPSJ has no jurisdiction over the complex,  except for policing, business licensing, health and environmental control. The management company is responsible for control, repairs and maintenance of all roads, street lighting, drainage and upkeep of the environment. Yet, Mr. Bala (manager) can open his mouth to the RA committee and said it is not under his control. 

The security service company has been proven to be a total failure in Suria Kinrara. The RA committee has decided to replace them. The management company immediately informed the security company and the guards were withdraw on Monday. Owners please beware.  The management company shall be held liable to the owners.
