Investigation by Sabah Surveyors Board

 

On 15.12.2022, I handed a complaint letter together with the As-built Survey, Original Development Plan and Amended Development Plan as well as my explanation of the discrepancy to Lembaga Jurukur Sabah (Sabah Surveyors Board).

 

It is now more than 5 months and the answer I got from them is that the investigation has not been completed.

 

I don’t understand why it take such a long time to do a simple examination. My main complaint is that the As-built- survey plan does not reconcile with the on-site situation.

 

Why isn’t the investigation not completed even after 5 months?

What is there to investigate?

 

A Survey Department should be able to get a licenced surveyor to survey a few points and determine if the as-built survey plan submitted to obtain the Occupancy Certificate is correct.

 

Here are the correspondences between me and Lembaga Jurukur Sabah.

The Executive officer – Miss Fung Yun Ling,

Dear Madam,

My complaint about the survey firm Jurukur Terra Firma who fabricated the as-built survey for the Vistana Heights Phase 1 Project.

I refer to my letter handed to your office on 15.12.2022 and my telephone call to you on 14.2.2023.

In our telephone conversation, you said that you are waiting for the meeting to be held by the board which will be followed up with a visit to the Vistana Heights project site.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as the meeting is held.

Thank you and kind regards,

Luqman Michel
