A disgruntled house owner’s email to the architect
I am getting documents ready for my court case against the developer and others involved in Vistana Heights case. I came across emails which I am posting here for future reference.
George Sheh is the owner of Lot S20 now renumbered S2A. This is the house opposite S9.
The highlight in the emails below is added by me. See notes below for explanation.

Let me begin by giving you a brief summary of the ordeals that I am encountering upon the purchase of the above mentioned house.
I started my renovation in December 2021 and the 1st thing that I need to do is the ramp leading to my unit. It is so steep that a normal saloon car cannot be driven up and must park on the roadside.
The contention here is as an architect who plans and designed the DP failed to realise that the ramp has a big flaw that it is absolutely not suitable for small saloon cars. Is your design complying with the building by laws set by the authorities? I hope to receive a reply from your firm on my question.
Yours Sincerely
George Sheh

Thank you for your reply.
Now I would like to bring your attention to clause (q) (iii) in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. For your easy reference, I append below the same paragraph as stated in the S&P.
(q) (iii) in the event of any dispute arising as to whether any defect falls within the scope of this clause but without prejudice to the right of the Purchaser to seek legal redress the developer’s architect and engineers shall assist in determining the dispute.
So as a Professional appointed by the developer, you are still not discharge from your responsibilities.
Therefore, we urge you to look into our grievances.
Appreciate your early reply.
Thanks

Good morning,
Your email refers.
You have referred to what appears to be an extract from a clause in a sales and purchase agreement, likely between your goodself and the developer, to which we are neither promisor nor promisee. As such, please refer your issues / report defects / raise disputes in regards to defects directly to the developer for their processing / action / fulfilment as per the agreed contract conditions.
Thank you.

Explanation to the highlighted parts above.
Note 1:
The ramp that George Sheh is complaining is the third ramp in the post at: https://luqmanmusings.blogspot.com/2025/08/new-emergency-rescue-system.html
The first two videos are on the ramp for house number S2 (Previously S19). The owner recently bought the unit and has not moved in due to the road inaccessibility.
Note 2:
The house platform levels are not in accordance with the original development plan submitted in 1995 and the development plan dated 2007 and approved by the major Datuk Abidin Madangkir attached to Faisal’s sales and purchase agreement.
The amended development plan 2018 was prepared and submitted after the completion of the houses.
Note 3:
This is why I approached the architect to amicably settle the matter with the developer.
