Q&A: Meeting at Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) on May 5, 2025
Tatal ke bawah untuk terjemahan dalam Bahasa Melayu.
Attendees: Architects, surveyor, DBKK officers, my wife and me.
Question to DBKK: Why was the platform height for houses at Vistana Heights not reduced to the level specified in the original development plan? Why were house buyers not consulted regarding this alteration?
DBKK’s Response: Changes to the plan were made due to the presence of rocks at the site.
Follow-Up Questions Arising from DBKK’s Response:
· The engineer stated that a soil test was conducted before construction. Why was the 1995 development plan prepared without accounting for these conditions?
· Despite the project being 75% complete in 2014, as confirmed by the architect, why were the platform heights, in the development plan attached to the 2014 Sale and Purchase Agreement (S&P), unchanged from the 1995 plan?
· Is it lawful to provide a development plan in the S&P that differs from the actual on-site conditions when the project is 75% complete?
· The land behind lots D17 to D18 collapsed before 2011. Why does the 2018 development plan not reflect this collapse in the drainage reserve? Why does the As-Built Survey (ABS) show the drainage reserve as it was in the 1995 plan, ignoring the collapse?
· The developer informed Faisal that a retaining wall would be built behind lots D18 to D17. When asked, DBKK verbally stated this was not mandated by them. However, multiple emails to DBKK seeking written clarification on this matter have gone unanswered.
The approval record of the Retaining Wall Plan for this development shall be reviewed to identify if there is a proposal for the provision of a retaining wall at the rear of Lot S9 for information and reference in the upcoming meeting.
Action by: DBKK Engineering Department and DBKK City Planning Department.
This is a misrepresentation of my question. My question was if there was a proposal for the provision of a retaining wall behind D17 to D18 which were numbered in the initial development plan as S1 to S18.
This was not answered by either the DBKK Engineering Department or DBKK Planning Department.
Hadir: Arkitek, juruukur, pegawai DBKK, isteri saya dan saya.
Soalan kepada DBKK: Mengapa ketinggian platform untuk rumah-rumah di Vistana Heights tidak dikurangkan mengikut tahap yang ditetapkan dalam pelan pembangunan asal? Mengapa pembeli rumah tidak dirujuk mengenai perubahan ini?
Jawapan DBKK: Perubahan kepada pelan dibuat kerana kehadiran batuan di tapak tersebut.
• Tindakan oleh: Jabatan Kejuruteraan DBKK dan Jabatan Perancangan Bandar DBKK.
Soalan ini tidak dijawab oleh Jabatan Kejuruteraan DBKK atau Jabatan Perancangan DBKK.
