| Houses in villages repaired, thanks to PKNS. Posted: 23 Mar 2012 04:28 AM PDT
The state subsidiary has allocated RM396,000 to repair and upgrade leaking roofs and faulty toilets for 22 homes and the work is scheduled to be completed by April. "I'm so grateful for this help as without it my brothers and I might not have a roof over our home soon, especially with the frequent thunderstorms," said Bagan Terap villager Zamri Sakiman. Zamri, 39, said their belongings have also been destroyed by the rain which seeps in through the broken roof almost every night. Living with his three disabled brothers, Zamri explained the difficulties in supporting them and the hardship of saving money for repairs. "I earn RM600 a month as a security guard and the money is only enough to feed us. We don't have money for repairs," he said. He also pointed out that his disabled brothers tried helping by planting palm trees on an empty plot beside their home. By selling palm oil to a nearby village, they get an additional RM200 a month. However, this is still insufficient as everything in their home is falling apart one by one, including electrical appliances like lights and ceiling fans. PKNS will be building them a new roof, constructing a new bathroom with proper facilities, repairing the piping in their kitchen and painting the exterior walls. "All these repairs will cost about RM18,000 and are scheduled for completion on Tuesday," said PKNS administration and development deputy manager Noraida Mohd Yusof. She said the 22 families were chosen based on references by the Selangor Zakat Board and village heads from six villages in Sabak Bernam. Among the villages involved are Tebuk Pulai, Bagan Nira, Sepintas, Kampung Tok Khalifah, Jalan Masjid and Bagan Terap. "We chose the families who really need help, like the disabled and those with a monthly income of about RM300," she said. PKNS hopes to improve the lives of these less fortunate families with the repairs. Noraida pointed out that PKNS will be helping other villagers in other districts to repair their homes after this project in Sabak Bernam is completed. Also present to launch the event was state executive councillor for housing Iskandar Samad, who was pleased with PKNS' move. "I will also be pushing for the state to set up a fund to help repair more homes in the other Selangor districts," he said. During his speech, he explained that there were many more villages in the rural parts of Selangor which needed help. "I hope PKNS will consider adopting this village and give them the guidance they need to improve their lives and social development." Selangor Times  |
| New owners urged to form JMB quickly Posted: 23 Mar 2012 02:40 AM PDT
SELAYANG: Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) will help owners of a new medium cost development here set up a Joint Management Body (JMB) to ensure all problems at apartments are addressed promptly. "It's important to form a JMB committee as soon as possible to channel complaints about repairs and maintenance from residents to us, the developer. We will assist in this," said PKNS deputy general manager Noraida Mohd Yusof during a ceremony to hand over mock keys to nine selected Banjarai Court home owners, near Batu Caves, last Saturday. Almost all the units at the five-block high-rise have been sold and the owners are expected to move in shortly. Noraida advised the house owners present – many of them first-time owners - to check their units for defects and to report their findings to the site office located on the ground floor at Block A. She added that PKNS was committed to building more homes to cater to demand in Selayang. She said the 612-unit apartments, with built-up area between 1,012 to 1,245 sq ft, were sold for around RM270,000 to RM330,000 each. State executive councillor for housing Iskandar Samad lauded PKNS' move to assist residents in setting up the JMB immediately. The Cempaka state lawmaker agreed with Noraida that a JMB should be set up as soon as possible. He also urged residents at Banjaria Court to be alert to acts of vandalism at their new premises. "There's no point having the best amenities that money can buy if they are vandalised by irresponsible people," he said. Iskandar congratulated the 60 new house buyers who turned up to view their units. "It's a good decision to have purchased a unit here. I understand the units have appreciated by 30 per cent since they were launched in 2009," he said. The housing project was completed some eight months ahead of schedule - Alvin Yap, Selangor Times.  |
| New rules to help flats get free water Posted: 23 Mar 2012 02:36 AM PDT SHAH ALAM: Flat residents without individual meters can register with their local council's Commissioner of Building (COB) to enjoy Selangor's free water programme from next month. "This new mechanism will replace the old coupon system," said executive councillor for housing Iskandar Samad yesterday.
Iskandar said the state would then pass on the information to Syarikat Air Bekalan Selangor (Syabas) to make the deduction from the bulk water bill. "The deduction must be shown to the COBs," the Cempaka assemblyperson added. He said the COBs would also conduct spot checks on low-cost flats to ensure the number of units reported is accurate. Iskandar said the move would benefit residents without individual meters who currently have to rely on the coupon system. He said the state started the free water programme in 2009, but Syabas was unable to replace bulk meters with individual meters in all flats. He said 252,591 homes have applied for individual meters since 2009 but only 51,859 applications have been approved. In addition, the low-cost flats must settle their arrears with Syabas and obtain residents' approval to apply for individual meters. "So we started the coupon system, allowing residents to claim for the deduction using the coupons but the procedures is complex and the results aren't satisfactory," said Iskandar. However, he said the latest scheme is just a temporary measure as low-cost flat residents must continue to apply for individual meters - Selangor Times.  |
| VILLAGERS GET LAND TITLES AFTER ALMOST 20 YEARS. Posted: 23 Mar 2012 01:44 AM PDT THE long wait for land titles for 220 villagers and their family members living on state land in Kg Bendahara, Batu Caves is finally over — after almost 20 years. Last week, the Selangor executive council approved all their applications for land titles. Village action committee acting chairman Abdul Rahman Kamis said it was the best news in decades. "We waited anxiously for the land title knowing that many who were in similar situation were given to low- cost houses. "So we are happy our applications are approved," he said. He said the villagers were also given some leeway in settling the total RM12,000 in premium and other fees. "But the authorities have promised that by paying an initial premium sum of RM1,000, the grants will be given to us with the outstanding amount to be settled in installments," he said. He said the RM12,000 was not only for the land grants but for infrastructure like drainage system and other utilities to be provided by the local authorities. The good news was announced by State housing, building development and squatters committee chairman Iskandar Abdul Samad at a thanksgiving feast in Kg Bendajara recently. "Initially there were 265 application but after scrutinising we found there were only 220 lots occupied. The rest made the application but went off to live somewhere else," he said. The forfeited lots, he said would be turned into playground and other common property for the villagers," Iskandar told StarMetro after making the announcement. He said the Kg Bendahara folk were initially moved to Bukit Botak, Batu Caves, which was a huge temporary resettlement site for villagers living on government land and squatters. "Some were moved to other areas for resettlement and the present inhabitants of Kg Bendahara were moved here and given temporary occupation licences." In 2001 there was an exercise by the state exco to given them land titles. "But of the 108 applications approved only about 40 were given land titles as the majority could not come up with the RM12,000 in full settlement before the land titles could be given in their names," he said. According to MPS council member in charge of Zone 3, which covers Kg Bendahara, Zaidi Abdul Talib, the council would start making arrangement to provide the basic infrastructure and common utilities for Kg Bendahara - Star Metro Online.  |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2012 09:06 PM PDT TUNGGAKAN AIR PERCUMA Kerajaan Negeri Selangor belum lagi bercadang untuk membayar tunggakan air percuma sejak 4 tahun lalu. Kerajaan belum ada anggaran yang tepat untuk jumlah tunggakan ini jika kerajaan berhasrat untuk membayarnya. Ini ialah kerana tarikh penghuni-penghuni mendapat air percuma adalah berbeza-beza. Kempen besar-besaran agar penghuni bertukar kepada meter individu dan pemberian kupon air percuma bermula pada tahun 2009. Kemudian diperkenalkan program pemotongan terus pada bil di meter pukal. Oleh itu ada yang mendapat air percuma bermula pada tahun 2009, ada yang pada 2010 dan ada yang ada 2011. Maka sudah tentu kerajaan perlu sedikt masa untuk mendapatkan anggaran ini. Walau bagaimanapun kerajaan telah memperuntukan RM9,026,474.40 setahun untuk memberi air percuma kepada penghuni di perumahan bertingkat. Oleh itu sebagai anggaran kasar untuk membayar tunggakan bagi 4 tahun untuk rumah kos rendah adalah RM36,825,896.16. KERAJAAN NEGERI MEMBANTU UNTUK MEMUDAHKAN MIGRASI Kerajaan telah berusaha agar migrasi ke meter individu dipermudahkan dan dipercepatkan maka telah mengadakan banyak siri perbincangan dengan pihak SYABAS. Di antara kejayaan perbincangan tersebut adalah mendapatkan persetujuan SYABAS untuk membenarkan migrasi walaupun "consent" atau kebenaran membuka akaun meter individu sebanyak 100 peratus tidak diperolehi. Untuk kes-kes yang layak, "consent-consent" 100 peratus ini dikecualikan. Kerajaan juga telah mewujudkan satu jawatankuasa khas iaitu Jawatankuasa Pemudah Isu-Isu Hartanah (PRIHATIN) untuk menyelesaikan masalah-masalah di perumahan bertingkat termasuk masalah yang dihadapi penduduk yang mahu melakukan migrasi. Jawatankuasa ini bermesyuarat setiap minggu dan melibatkan SYABAS, pemaju atau penduduk untuk kes-kes melibatkan migrasi. TURUN PADANG Kerajaan juga melalui Lembaga Perumahan Dan Hartanah Selangor telah melakukan program "turun padang" untuk menggalakkan rakyat melakukan migrasi. Setakat 15 Mac 2012, terdapat 252,591 permohonan untuk migrasi yang melibatkan 1,246 pembangunan. Jumlah yang lulus adalah bagi 44,905 permohonan setakat ini. Sementara jumlah yang telah ada meter individu adalah sebanyak 51,859 akaun melibatkan 241 pembangunan. KUPON AIR PERCUMA DAN PROGRAM "LAPOR DAN DAPAT" Walau bagaimanapun sehingga migrasi berlaku kerajaan telah memperkenalkan kupon air percuma yang pernah dilaporkan kepada sidang-sidang Dewan yang lepas. Yang terkini kerajaan telah memperkenalkan program "Lapor Dan Dapat". Di bawah program ini penduduk hanya perlu melaporkan kepada Pesuruhjaya Bangunan (COB) mereka bilangan unit yang berpenghuni di pembangunan mereka untuk mendapatkan air percuma. COB kemudian akan memberitahu SYABAS akan maklumat ini dan Syabas akan membuat potongan pada bil meter pukal mereka. MC, JMB, agen pengurusan, pemaju atau persatuan penduduk kemudian akan membuat potongan pada bil-bil individu penduduk. Program ini akan memudahkan rakyat mendapat air percuma sebelum migrasi dan akan bermula pada 1 April 2012. PERANAN KERAJAAN NEGERI MEMBANTU PENDUDUK YANG DIPOTONG BEKALAN AIR Kerajaan boleh bertindak sebagai fasilitator di antara SYABAS dan penduduk apabila berlaku pemotongan. Pada lazimnya kerajaan mencadangkan pembayaran secara ansuran. Senarai pembangunan di mana kerajaan telah membantu adalah : 1) Pandan Utama, Pandan. 2) Apartmen Vista Bayu Klang 3) Kedai/Pejabat/ Apartment Taman Lembah Maju Ampang 4) Pangsapuri Ruvena Villa, Puchong 5) Pangsapuri Anggerik, Sri Kembangan 6) Apartmen Dishire Villa, Kota Damansara 7) Apartmen Kekwa, Puchong 8) Pangsapuri Kayangan,Petaling Jaya 9) Desaminium Rimba, Seri Kembangan 10) Pangsapuri Seri Era, Shah Alam 11) Pangsapuri Melur, Raya Dan Cempaka, Pelangi Damansara 12) Apartmen Jelutong, Shah Alam13) Pangsapuri Langat Utama, Banting 14) Pangsapuri Desa Temuan, Bukit Lanjan 15) Pangsapuri Bukit Kuda, Klang 16) Apartmen Puchong Intan, Puchong 17) Apartmen Mawar Taman Bunga Raya Bukit Beruntung 18) Pangsapuri Impian Sentosa, Klang 19) Pangsapuri Klang Indah 20) Apartmen Sri Gotong, Selayang 21) Pangsapuri Seri Pulai, Puchong Hartamas 22) Pangsapuri Taipan Bandar Armada Putera, Klang Iskandar bin Abdul Samad EXCO Perumahan, Pengurusan Bangunan dan Setinggan Negeri Selangor 22 Mac 2012  |
SABAK BERNAM: Dilapidated homes in villages in the district were repaired by the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility last Saturday.
Under the new scheme, management councils, joint management bodies or developers will only have to inform the COB on the number of units at their apartments to receive the 20 cubic metres of free water per home.| You are subscribed to email updates from Direct Free Kick To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
