Vistana Heights – ordeals of house owners (4)

 


On 9.12.2021, the purchaser of the house opposite to my son’s house, George, met up with Mrs. Lee (Monica), the developer. He requested Monica to give ideas to him on how to reconstruct the driveway so that his cars can be driven onto the car porch. Monica instructed him to ask his contractor who should know what to do. 

George then asked his contractor for ideas and they had suggested widening the driveway. George did this and was reprimanded by Monica saying that he should not widen the driveway.

Monica then telephoned and informed George that her architect told her to report the matter to DBKK.

By then George had already constructed the driveway.

Even after widening the driveway he found it difficult to drive the cars up the driveway. Attached, please find a video of his car attempting to drive up after rebuilding the driveway.

George then had to tear down the the top few inches of the reconstructed driveway and rebuild it with designs for a better grip. See the photo attached for the new driveway with design for better grip.

Even with this new driveway, with design for grips, the car can only be driven up at certain angles.

Monica complained to DBKK who then came to inspect the driveway.

Similarly, I had written to the developer for a solution to my son’s driveway which she has not replied.

I am not going to spend money on the driveway which is the responsibility of the developer and the professionals.

This appears to be a situation as in the saying between the devil and the deep blue sea.

                    Below is a photo of the first attempt in widening the driveway.

Despite redoing the driveway with patterns (for better grip) there are times when the tyres of cars driven up the driveway spin and leave tyre marks on the driveway.

Cars can be driven up the driveway only at certain angles.

If cars are driven straight down from the car porch the bumper hits the road.

My email to Datuk Sr Bernard Liew Chau Min - director of Land and Survey

                                                                  Dear Datuk Sr Bernard Liew Chau Min, I refer to my several emails to you over the past year concerning the falsified as-built survey used in order to obtain the occupancy certificate for Vistana Heights project. Dr. Faisal Luqman, a Malay born in Sabah and who brought fame to Sabah by being the top student in Sabah and being the only student to get the Agong’s scholarship for doing his Ph.D in the US is the owner of unit no 15 at Vistana Heights. I complained on Dr. Faisal’s behalf to you a number of times and have yet to get a response from you.

My discussion with Stephen Krashen and his team

I am temporarily parking this article here for the benefit of Stephen Krashen and his team. STEPHEN KRASHEN is professor emeritus of education at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. I chanced upon the teams Face book page and requested to join the group. I shall post the discussion with Stephen and others in my blog posts at a later date but for now I am using this blog temporarily to explain to that team that the problem is not with phonics but with how letter sounds are taught all over the world.
