Explanation of My Email to the Chief Minister (Part 1)

 


You may find the email to the Chief Minister HERE. 

The development plan approved by DBKK was based on falsified as-built survey plans by Jurukur Terra Firma, fabricated amendments by Arkitek LYS, and involved consultant engineers Zaidun Leeng (Sabah) Sdn. Bhd.

Justifications for the above claim: The as-built drawing for Lot S7 (House No. 11) indicates a road height of 29.65m, higher than the house platform at 28.95m. However, photographic evidence clearly shows the road is lower than the house platform. LINK.

 

The original 1995 development plan and the plan attached to my son’s 2014 Sales & Purchase Agreement (S&P) listed the platform height of Unit No. 9 as 101’. However, the 2018 development plan records it as 106.26’, a discrepancy of 5.26’. The architect confirmed in a letter to Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia (dated 6.3.2023) that at the time of the S&P signing on 13 January 2014, the house was 75% complete, with the platform and access road already finished. Why, then, does the S&P development plan show 101’ when the actual height is 106.26’? Neither the architect nor DBKK has addressed this.

On 11 June 2025, I attended a meeting with DBKK, attended by the architects (father and son), the developer (mother and daughter), the engineer, DBKK officers, and two Integrity Department representatives following my complaint. During the meeting, a presentation displayed an unfamiliar as-built survey for Unit S9, with figures including 31.05m (101.87 feet). I contested this figure, as it did not match the as-built survey plan I had reviewed multiple times. For further details, see my post HERE.

Bad experience with Sabah architects

Image
The lady in the photo above is 5 feet 2 inches. The as-built survey plan says the height difference between the road height and the house platform height is 1 foot. Are the architects blind? I refer to the views expressed by the Chairman of PAM (Sabah chapter) in Forum on 2.3.2025. The Chairman stated that the Daily Express report on over-certifying projects unfairly generalized architects and risked damaging the reputation of the entire profession.

SPRM (MACC) and Vistana Heights

Image
  Someone asked me how the MACC is involved in the Vistana Heights case if I don’t have any proof that corruption is involved. That is an excellent question. We all assume that corruption is only when a bribe is involved. However, a closer look at the brochure from the MACC shows the following:                                                                                                                   Please click on the image above. ...

Are architects liable for fabricated documents submitted to authorities

Image
In 2020, many of my well-meaning friends told me that I have no course of action against the professionals involved in obtaining the Occupancy Certificate for Vistana Heights project with fabricated as-built survey plan. I believe all those involved, including DBKK senior officers, LPPB (Lembaga Pembangunan Perumahan Dan Bandar) and its GM Rosemary Ahping, Arkitek LYS, Lembaga Juruukur Sabah etc. will be answerable for how the Occupancy Certificate was issued. Hopefully, my complaint to SPRM (MACC), LJS, DBKK, Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia will be looked into.
