Luqman's musings

 I wrote several emails to the mayor and not one was replied. Perhaps the ‘Perintah Am’ which stated that correspondences to government servants must be replied to within two weeks is outdated and not applicable anymore. Not one of my emails to DBKK, LPPB and the Mayor was ever replied.

This is a continuation of my post on my correspondence with the Board of Engineers. The BEM wrote and said that the Board will meet on 6.6.2023. I wrote and said that I will await their report on the investigation. The following are the emails exchanged subsequent to 6.6.2023.

  I complained to the Board of Engineers about the consulting engineer of Vistana Heights on 23.2.2023 and to-date, 13.6.2023, have yet to receive a reply on the results of their investigation.   The following are the email correspondences to and fro.   On 23.2.2023 I emailed the Board of Engineers as follows: luqman michel  <luqmanm2002@yahoo.co.uk> To: Professional Practice Department Cc: MISHANA SAPAR , IRMA MUDEWI ZAINUL DIN , enquiry@bem.org.my Thu, 23 Feb at 16:16   Dear Sirs, Thank you for your response.

In early April I was pleasantly surprised to see a Facebook post by a highly respected architect. He had copy-pasted many of my blog posts and many of his architect friends had commented on his post. Here are some of the main points he highlighted and my rebuttal.

  Dear Mr. Stanley Chong, I refer to my email to you dated 16.2.2023 where I said, among other matters, the following: Another problem I had taken to the Housing Tribunal which has not been resolved is that of water leakage due to broken pipe/pipes existing prior to handing over the keys. The Housing Tribunal has brushed off this complaint saying it is a complaint made after the defect liability period. They do not appear to know about latent defects and the fact that the bills were given to house owners only in July 2022. For your information, the developer sent a plumber on 14.4.2023 to replace the water pipes that had been buried a few inches from the surface of the soil. He was instructed by the developer to trace the leaking pipe.
