Developer to the rescue
The Star 05/12/2002

SIN Heap Lee-Marubeni Sdn Bhd, the developer of Excelsa Apartments at Taman Universiti Indah in Sri Kembangan has promised to take measures to rectify residents’ problems, especially in security, water supply and possible erosion.

The company’s director Christopher Ch’ng said the management would consider the residents’ request for an automatic gate at the apartment’s entrance.

A police beat will also be set up at an estimated RM100,000. The developer will bear the cost.

Ch’ng met the residents at a dialogue over the weekend.

Present at the dialogue were Serdang MP Datuk Yap Pian Hon and Sri Kembangan assemblyman Datuk Liew Yuen Keong while the residents’ association was headed by committee member Dr Hawa Jaafar.

Yap said he would check on the frequent disruption to the water supply and appealed to Perbadanan Urus Air Selangor Sdn Bhd to take over the pump house, the cause of frequent technical problems.

Liew urged Sin Heap Lee to engage engineers and seek assistance from Subang Jaya Municipal Council’s Geology Department to conduct soil tests on the hilly ground where the apartments were. The residents are concerned over cracks that have appeared on walls and floors.

Excelsa Apartments has four blocks comprising 180 units. Residents moved in in 1997.
