Waiting for seven years
01/06/2005 NST

ON April 10, 1995, my son signed the sale and purchase agreement to purchase a condominium in Port Klang costing RM221,880. Under the agreement, the developer categorically stated that the "parcel is free from encumbrances".


My son paid 20 per cent of the cost and the balance of 80 per cent is being paid by way of a bank loan. This meant that the developer has collected the total cost of the unit upon obtaining the temporary certificate of fitness of occupation and handing over the keys to my son on Nov 14, 1997.


The developer must have submitted all the necessary documents to the Klang Municipal Council for approval. Apparently, after being satisfied that the application met all its conditions, the council issued the Lesen Pemaju Perumahan (Licence number 5596/4-98/160) dated April 15, 1993 and the "Approving Authority For Building Plan" (reference MPK (P) 96/92).


It is now more than seven years since my son was handed the keys to the unit upon obtaining the temporary certificate of fitness of occupation.


We were shocked when told that the council cannot issue the certificate of fitness for occupation and thus the strata title as part of the land, as stated in the site-plan, does not belong to the developer to this day.


I wonder how the council approved the building plan in the first place without confirming that the land stated in the site-plan actually belonged to the developer.


This action by the council has upset my son as he is uncertain about the future of the condominium. Can any government agency or organisation assist my son in correcting the council's mistake?
