I SYMPATHISE with Azmi Atan, "No home and no keys" (NST, Feb 16).
While he has neither a house nor the keys, I have a house but no government
loan.
The bureaucratic process to buy the house has been a painful experience.
I have complained to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the
housing loan section of the Treasury, the Public Complaints Bureau and the
co-developer, the Selangor Development Corporation (PKNS).
None of them has been able to help me obtain the master title of my house in
Section 7, Shah Alam.
Without it, I am not able to apply for a loan as the housing loan section
requires the master title for approval.
PKNS is unable to provide me a copy as the Shah Alam Land Office will not
release it for the simple reason that PKNS did not apply for it.
The bank loan that I had to resort to causes a huge dent in my finances.
I will remain a victim of bureaucracy untill retire in 12 years.
