Nowhere to lodge complaint
15/02/2005 New Straits Times
I AM very dissatisfied with the poor maintenance of my wife's apartment. I
tried to find out which government agency I should turn to to complain
about the matter.We pay a monthly fee of RM70 but
we are getting a raw deal. I have written twice to the general manager of
the ,management about a problem in the roof above our unit, but nobody
bothered to tell us that our complaints were being looked into.
So now to whom should I lodge a complaint? If there is
no such agency, I hope the Government will set up one, because more and
more apartments now charge a monthly service fee.
The matter was specified in the sales and purchase
agreement. Upon reading the document, I found that housebuyers were at the
losing end.
There are many companies which are not capable of doing
the job properly, yet they still get money from the tenants. I hope the
Government will be strict in issuing licences to operate such services.
This is to ensure that such companies have the capital, manpower and
expertise to deliver to the clients.
There should be an agency within the Housing and Local
Government Ministry, for instance, to look into this issue.
