I was thinking, it's better to have a better way for our discussions. Message board is much better in terms of organization (and management). I've created a message board for our use. You can check it out here

Dear all,
It's good to see the growing list in here :)

In regard to the electricity, I called the lawyer's office A.B Sidek and one of the lawyer answered my phone call. The story goes like this :

When I explained about the absence of electricity in my unit, he mentioned the onus is actually on TNB. Somehow, TNB is very slow with the meter installation. In normal case, the purchaser should apply for the electricity with TNB themselves. But the developer (Kelana Sentral) took the responsibility to apply it on our behalf. Right now, both the developer and lawyer are pressing the issue hard with TNB to get it done quickly.

According to the S&P, the once the unit has been handed over to the buyer, it does not mean the water & electricity is ready. It just mean that the connection points are ready. The availability of water and electricity are due within 3 months after the key being handed over.

When I pressed about why those units that are rented out to Unitar students are ready much earlier, he said the application most probably were submitted before the CF was issued, hence the early connection (same to other units). He couldn't explain on what basis the selection of the units. As for other units, the developer already submitted the application to TNB. But again, the problem is the TNB (Which I also couldn't fathom what's the problem with TNB. I wish I could buy my own meter and ask them just to install it)

As for now, 72 units have moved in to the units.

Lastly, I asked the lawyer to convey the message to the developer to have more proactive/knowledgeable staff. Its bad enough to have us being passed around like a ball while our issues are not being addressed. We're going to deal with the them at least monthly to pay our monthly maintenance fees. The last thing we want to see are sour faces. But again, what can we expect from our Malaysian Truly Asian fellow?

I read your comments on the Kelana Sentral Apartment. I am also a buyer of a unit. I am very frustrated with the developer and the management. I paid everything they ask me to pay first week of January 2009 - TNB deposit, service charges, sinking fund etc...(and 3 months in advance for maintenance)..and when I paid they hand me the keys and I ask when I can move as my tenancy is expiring soon, they told me that they will fix the water and electricity next week (i.e. the week beginning 13th January 2009) and I can move in. So I gave notice to my landlord and told them I will move after my grille is done which was yesterday (4/2/09) and I repeatedly told them I will move in February 2009.

Since being handed the keys I checked every weekend, and weekend after weekend I do not have any water or electricity. I had to go to the office and shout to get my water connected. I have informed them that I will be moving in on 8/2/09 more than 2 weeks ago and until now my electricity is not connected yet. And about a week ago to my amazement they told me that my TNB is not connected yet and it will take 3 months or more to get this done!! - And all this knowing full well that I am moving this weekend! And after telling me that they will have my electric connected by 13th January 2009.In fact I ask not once but many times about the electric and they said it will be connected by the time I move. Worst of all, the so called person-in-charge named Rosalan had the cheek to tell me yesterday when I ask for my electric that I can move in but they won't guarantee that my electric would be available!

I am moving in on the 8/2/09 by hook or by crook. Moorgi, the guy who has repeatedly told me I could move and that the electric will be connected ("we will connect maam no problem!!" - in his words) still insist I could move in despite what Rosalan told me! I really don't get it - what is wrong with this people. In fact when my keys were handed to me the water and electricity should have been connected. I am very frustrated and almost in tears. I told them I can live like a caveman without electricity but not my kid as I have a young child. If they had told me that I can't move in yet as there is no electricity I would not have given notice to my current landlord. Now new tenants are coming in and I have to move out. I note that you had also experience problems with these incompetent bunches. And yes I do agree they seemed to have no problem having students in early.

Thanks for hearing me out. I appreciate your feedback
soonest.
