 *on this we met with another owner whom was also dissastified with it but as we were sharing not much that we could do eventhough we learnt that this was due to the developer commitments to another third party coz of the long process of state consent well something like that......a lawyer advised not to pay the interest but thinking it over without paying it then we would not be getting the keys and the delay and additional cost of engaging the lawyer would be incurred not worth the argument.  But you cant stop people from blogging abt it rite.

We're sure that we were not the only 2 owners that were affected and yes we felt that the developer did injustice to us and took advantage of our situation in getting the money from us thru no default from us.  As a developer they have the obligation and responsibility to access this at their discretion rather than take the easy way and unjustly imposed the amount on us.  Definitely not a good move as this will effect their image and marred their reputation as we the house owners will definitely be more cautious in referring other potential house buyers.

enuf said on this matter 2 advises though:
*do maintain all your documentations in order pertaining to the purchases all letters from developer, bank & lawyers should be properly filed for reference.
*be very patient and learn to adjust to the ways and culture of working environment here. they will push you from one department to another and when they promise they will call back dont hope for it cause they never do.

so far we've no complaints on the marketing division superb service delivered by Irene from the sales personnels but the administration /finance department should review their service charter.

just my 2cents worth of tots.

The anticipated date is drawing near. This weekend will be getting Suasana idamanjr house's key. Collection at customer service office fr 2.00 to 5.00 pm all precint 5 home owners will officially get possession of our houses.

So Saturday 12/12 is TheDay

2 weeks ago we received our Handover Key letter, alhamdullilah syukur but our joy was disrupted upon opening the thick letters among the other details and mandatory payments we were stunned to see an outstanding interest amounting to RM$3300 that we have to pay and it came from an invoice addressed to the Bank on late payment to the developer!

How could this be? our 20% were paid promptly and this obviously not from our defaults so the big questions now was it the mistake of the developer...which push the blame to the lawyer...which ultimately point the finger pointing to the bank.

Last week after going in to East ledang office and calling back all the personnels and lawyer (which they never call back as promised to follow up - patience running low when dealing with them)we got their final reply but then to our dissatisfaction. Fuming with anger this story continues...

Received 2nd statement on instalment payment:
13 Nov 2009 RM$544.12
13 Dec 2009 RM$617.32
