Latent defects - Housing Tribunal
This morning I received a WhatsApp message about a developer in West Malaysia being ordered by the Housing Tribunal to pay compensation to house buyers. You may read the FMT article here . I went to the Housing Tribunal at Wisma Tun Fuad opposite Karamunsing Complex. An officer there said that he will make an appointment for me to meet the legal officer who is stationed at the Ministry of Local Government and Housing at Wisma Innoprise. I met the legal officer on 9.1.2023. The officer listened to me for about 20 minutes or so and jotted down a few points in her hand book. Then she said that since the defect liability period is over, the Tribunal will not be able to assist.
