Occupation Permits  Again                                                  23/1/2012

Occupation Permits a straight forward matter, says Wong.  (Home, The Borneo Post, Thursday, January 19, 2012.)

Now let’s discuss how straight forward the matter it is. 

Occupation Permits (OP) for new houses will be issued so long as all rules and regulations are complied and fulfilled, said Minster of Local Government and Community Development Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh yesterday.

Yes, …………very good.  Perfectlah.  But…..with such perfect rules and regulations, how come there are quite a number of house owners cannot be prevented from occupying their houses at their own risk.   What for to have such perfect rules and regulations that fail to protect house buyers properly.  I mean the houses which are under SMC jurisdiction. 

He explained that there was a proper procedure to follow, involving the consultations, developers and the relevant authorities.

I wonder how proper the procedure to follow that still enabled the house owners to occupy the house without Occupation Permits.  I think Wong Soon Koh must be using his stomach to think and his intestines big and small to process.  Otherwise, how come such a proper procedure to follow, the house owners still fell prey to the unscrupulous developers again and again.  We should check and find out how many house owners occupy their houses without Occupation Permits

Wong also reminded house buyers to be aware of their rights as customers.

 No doubt, house buyers need to be aware of their rights as customers and always remember to climb up to the attic to double check from now onwards when the authorities and the developers are damned unreliable.  Isn’t  it ridiculous having the authorities concerned who created laws so perfect but serve little purpose.  What for to have Occupation Permits when house buyers still can occupy the house without them?

This is a normal process, where there is a checklist to go through.  If they fulfilled and complied with all the steps provided in the checklist, they should be no problem in giving out the OP.

Perhaps, somebody along the way must have missed some steps.  If they follow the rules and regulations and go through the normal process, nothing should happen, he said when asked on matter pertaining OP.

It is the confirmed truth.  It is also confirmed truth that house occupants living from Units 6 – 8 at Lane 13, RTM road were occupying the house without OP when the tragedy took place.  No matter how, I think he should answer the question how can house buyers be allowed to occupy the houses without aOP. 

When asked if there was a law to compel developers to get the OP within a certain timeframe upon completion of a housing project.  Wong said it was more important for house buyers to know their rights.

It  is bloody and irresponsible to push this responsibility to  house buyers when he claimed that there is a proper procedure to follow for consultants, developers and authorities.  What a shameless and insensible man he is!  If he were a minister in Japan, he would have to bow more that 90 degrees and be flushed.  But here in Malaysia no BN leaders since the era of Makhatir (Dr M) has any sense of shame and knows their responsibility related to their office.  We people collectively should be more determined to flush him out and get out of our sight.  He is just disgusting.

They can’t pay when things are not done.  House owners must know their rights and make sure that things are ready before they pay.

Yes, ……….but if house owners were that sensible, the problems of occupying the house ‘illegally’ would not happen again and again.  This will happen again if the demand is not focused on the developers to comply and fulfil the conditions as required within the timeframe.  I think Wong Soon Koh is just too obsessed with his position and self-interest to think sensibly.  He is just too mean to take responsibility He is just too developers-friendly to think of how to protect house buyers.  Alamak! What a curse! What a pity! What a shame to have this kind of mean and ugly man to be our minster of Local government and Community Development .

Doesn’t the local government /SMC exist to facilitate and protect people?  If their existence is not to facilitate and protect,  what is it for to have this agency?

Asked about the coordination between the Sibu Municipal Council (SMC), Sibu Water Board (SWB) and Sesco on OP issues, he said it was up to the consultants and developers to make available utilities such as water and electricity

This is where the problem resides because we have such a lousy damned bloody and irresponsible fool who has no idea “what a proper procedure” means.  If these developers really followed the proper procedure, they would not be able to apply for water and electricity supply without OP.  Without water and electricity supply, no house buyers would move in and no such problems like peeping Toms and the tragedy at Lane 13, RTM would occur.  Damned idiot we have to be our minister whom we tried to flush out on 416 in 2010 but he stayed on when he fished the votes from the ignorant kampung folk through the business of vote buying and selling.

I hope DAP-PR would organise protest to force him to resign for the tragedy at Lane 13, RTM.
