residents paying the cost for poor maintenance - water jet flosser

Residents of Petaling Jaya PJS 5 Taman desalia apartments endure daily sewage spills, random dumping of garbage, poor facilities and cases of dengue fever.
Several residents led by C.
Devaraj sought help from StarMetro to address these long-standing problems.
Walking around the apartment found many problems that residents had to face.
Abandoned motorcycles occupy a space that can be used to open and roll the bin.
There was an illegal dump near space.
Residents not only have to deal with the stench from the dump, but they also have to deal with another bad smell from the raw sewage from the illegal pipeline extension logistics.
Some residents parked their cars there and could not use facilities such as badminton courts.
"When the children play in court and the shutt son falls on the car, the owner will scold them," Devaraj said . ".
There are 720 units in six blocks, and about 4,000 people live in Taman de Surrey.
"We have written to the authorities, but we have not seen any changes," Devaraj said . " He presented a document containing copies of the letters sent to various government agencies.
He admitted that some problems were caused by the residents themselves.
"Many people don't pay for maintenance because they think the place is not properly maintained.
"However, maintenance is not possible because some people do not pay.
This is a vicious circle, "said Devaraj. Resident S.
Nathan said one person died last year after dengue fever.
"There are a lot of mosquito breeding spots here.
"Other than that, we live near the jungle, so it's not uncommon to see a snake slip into the compound," he said . ".
Huang Ayan, a resident lacking community spirit, listed the blocked toilets, garbage and dengue fever as her main concern.
Many problems have also caused friction between neighbors.
"One of our neighbors scolded us for the toilet jam, but it was not our fault because there was no maintenance at all.
"There is no repair because some people do not pay for repairs.
"It's not fair for those of us who have been paying.
Why do we suffer? ” Wong asked.
Residents are also worried about being hit by lightning.
Devaraj points to the car parked next to the Telegraph Tower opposite the apartment.
"The land is used by an operator of a car store, where he stores the customer's car.
"He encircles the area, but the barbed wire fence acts as a conductor whenever there is lightning.
"It was very dangerous for us because the fence was very close to the apartment," he said . ".
Nantini Jayakumar, a resident, said poor living conditions also caused social problems.
"Children don't want to live in such a place and go out often.
"Some of the students who dropped out of school and their parents were busy at work and were unable to track their whereabouts," she said . ".
Nantini added that without education, the younger generation would be trapped in
End the cycle of poverty.
"Working in the residents' association is a thankless job, especially when most of us are trying to maintain a balance of payments.
"But we have no choice. if we don't stand up and do something, who will help us?
There is a joint governing body (JMB)
In the apartment, but it seems unable to deal with the problems that have plagued the residents for many years.
When Nanini contacted JMB, she was told to push residents to pay for repairs and a sinking fund of 35 yuan.
"Why don't they take action against the responsible residents," she asked . ".
One of the fuses exploded the day before StarMetro's visit, resulting in a block without power.
One of the affected residents.
Thangarajah said that the power supply was broken at about 11: 00. 30pm.
"Smoke came out of the glove box.
"The weather is hot and it's unbearable for a few minutes without electricity, not to mention a few hours.
The problem was corrected the next day.
In this regard, Yingda water konsortica private Co. , Ltd (IWK)
Wan esriati Wan Ahmed, head of corporate communications, said, "Pipeline (
In private)
It is the responsibility of JMB and the owner.
Wan esuriyanti explained that IWK is responsible for public pipelines and sewage treatment plants outside the border.
Residents then pay private contractors to clear the pipes.
"During the cleaning process, the debris on the private pipe is rushed into the main pipe (public pipes)
This slows down the flow of water.
"IWK later carried out maintenance work and flushed the pipes with high pressure water spray to clear the blockage," Wan Esuriyanti said . ".
When contacted, the eight dozen Linjia City Council (MBPJ)
The waste collection of the apartment belongs to the authority of the KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd.
