Sabah, politicians and lawyers (Part 2)


 

This is the continuation of LINK.

I do not know the full story about a lawyer blocking a "simple" meeting between house buyers and developer. I am surprised because in most cases buyers simply walk up to the developer's office and wave their fists. If this fails, they just stand around the office, blocking the roads and talk to reporters. It is the first time I heard of this incident. If you know the name of this lawyer (take photo) lodge a complaint to the SLS. In Sabah, yes, I would agree those who have money will tend to have an upper hand not only in law but in everything else in life. The problem with developer in Sabah is because the law to protect consumers is less. For example, in West Malaysia, they are proposing tougher laws but we are NOT part of this. LINK

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, many of the laws in West Malaysia do not apply to Sabah.

You said: 'In Sabah, yes I would agree those who have money will tend to have an upper hand not only in law but in everything else in life.'

I am going to test this out. My fight with the developer and authorities is on-going for over 3 years. I have now engaged a lawyer which is costly and wish this could have been resolved amicably. He will be sending out the demand letter soon as this matter may be time-barred after 2.10.2025.

Perhaps, others may wave their fists. I am not too keen on this method. I write posts to make the public aware of their rights.

Here are two posts that you may like to read: LINK LINK

I did not go to SLS...

The last two links are the letters from the lawyer.

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.
