Are we safe in our homes?

                                                  

Residents of Kota Kinabalu, are we safe in our homes? At Vistana Heights, serious safety issues like missing retaining walls (mandated in the Development Plans) and dangerously steep driveways threaten lives and property.

Cracks behind houses D17-D18 and soil collapse risks near lots S1-S2 and S17-S18 are real. Despite years of raising these with DBKK, residents face dismissed concerns, altered meeting minutes, and questionable approvals for developers like Topwira Corporation. Why are safety standards not enforced? Who’s holding DBKK and developers accountable? This isn’t just one person’s fight—it’s about our community’s safety and trust in institutions.

If you’re a Vistana Heights resident, know someone affected, or care about housing accountability in Sabah, let’s talk. DMs open for private tips or support.  

Time for transparency that our Chief minister and Governor Tun Musa Aman talk about.  #PublicSafety #DBKK

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.
