After having to wait eight years, 150 owners of residential and commercial properties in Taman Kinrara's Section 2 finally got their hands on the Certificate of Fitness (CF) for their properties.

The CFs were presented by Puchong MP Lau Yeng Peng in a ceremony held at a multi-purpose hall in Taman Kinrara, Puchong recently. "Although I regret the inconvenience caused by the delay, I am happy to be able to present these CFs to you today," he said.

"I also appreciate your patience and co-operation in putting up with the delay." Also present were Kinrara Assemblyman Dr Kow Cheong Wei and Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) president Datuk Abd Hakim Borhan.

Lau said the delay in the issuance of the CFs had affected 86 residential property owners and 164 commercial property buyers.

"Today's ceremony is made possible after several dialogues involving residents, the developer, MPSJ officers and local community leaders.

"All 86 residential units have been issued temporary CFs while MPSJ supervised the level of work to be completed by the developer.

"However, only 65 units have been given permanent CFs today while the owners of the remaining 21 units are required to contact MPSJ's planning department and submit their applications for renovations and modifications done to their properties."

There are, in all, 338 commercial properties in Section 2 of Taman Kinrara. Lau said 164 units had been issued with permanent CFs in 1995.

"The remaining properties were issued with temporary CFs in 1996 as the developer has yet to complete the work," he said.

"We are only issuing permanent CFs to owners who have not undertaken modifications to their commercial properties.

"Owners who have renovated or modified their properties are requested to contact MPSJ for clarification."
