KUALA LUMPUR: People's Housing Project (PPR) residents and managements want the authorities to clamp down on maintenance fee defaulters, saying it is unfair to those who abide by the rules.
Retiree Mohd Ali Mohd Yusof said he was annoyed by the indifference of some residents of PPR Pantai Ria in Pantai Dalam who refuse to pay the RM42 monthly maintenance fee.
"Some people here own more than two cars, but refuse to pay," said Ali, who is a member of PPR Ria's Rukun Tetangga. "It is not fair. No matter how difficult my situation is, I still fulfil my responsibilities."
He said the maintenance fee went towards the upkeep of the PPR's lifts and cleaning services.
Last week, Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming criticised PPR residents who refused to pay the maintenance fee even though they could afford it.
He said the ministry plannedto introduce access cards in future public housing projects, given only to those who pay the maintenance fee. Ali is not the only PPR resident who is frustrated.
A PPR Danau Kota resident, who only wanted to be known as Khatijah, 63, hoped the authorities would crack down on maintenance fee defaulters.
She said used a portion of her RM500 monthly allowance from Baitulmal to pay the RM42 monthly maintenance fee.
"I pawned my jewellery to pay the maintenance fee. Others have huge cars, but don't pay the fee." National House Buyers Association of Malaysia honorary secretar y-general Datuk Chang Kim Loong called for tough action against those who refuse to pay their dues. |
