A Resident Association has already been set up on 21 December 2010 under the registration number of 2909-10-WKL by the Action Committee of Block 14. After which, the application for 1Malaysia Maintenance Fund was submitted on 7th January 2011. It is currently in Putrajaya and according to the officer in charge, who has acknowledged receipt of the application mentioned that the technical team will be in touch with us. He also mentioned that depending on the urgency of the matter, it can take one to months.
The Action Committee has been campaigning for the pipe system to be resolved since September 2010 knocking at the doors of the developer, DBKL, Syabas and also with the Deputy Minister from the Prime Minister’s Department T Murugiah who has failed to uphold his words, all have fallen on deaf ears.
We have written to Dato’ Raja Nong Chik on 12 January 2011 to explain to him about how we have met all the conditions required by the 1Malaysia Maintenance Fund.
We have also written to Syabas on 12 January 2011 to request that they waive the residents’ high bills other than the minimum payment. The Residents’ Association is asking for this problem to be settled within one month. Please stop this suffering immediately!!!!
The Action Committee on 16 January 2011 called for a press conference. Several reporters attended the press conference. The Action Committee wanted them to highlight that the Residents’ Association of Block 14 Taman Bukit Angkasa qualify to receive the funds from the 1Malaysia Maintenance Fund because they meet all the stipulated conditions. This is also to put on record what has transpired to date.
When the MP of Lembah Pantai, YB Nurul Anwar came to lend her support, the Action Committee officially requested her office to raise a number of issues which residents of high rise buildings are facing every day in Parliament and urge the authorities to look at the policy matters urgently, because issues of this nature affect the people’s livelihood. A lot of time is wasted on unproductive work of having to attend to these issues. They include all the other generic issues such collapsing roof tops and repair of the common area fuse box.
The Residents’ Association records their heartfelt thanks to YB Nurul for her constant care and concern for the constituency even though she does not have the public funding under her control. She is always ever ready to step forward as long as she is needed irrespective of sunshine or rain, and we will continue to invite her to come down to the ground as often as possible to be with the people until the issues are solved. We want to have an MP who will be with the people, not one who comes down occasionally and choose who he will help, and who he will not help. Thank you, YB Nurul Izzah Anwar! We hope that you will come to Bukit Angkasa more often! We welcome you with open arms, until all our issues are solved!
