TAWAU,
November 7, 2012: A group of house buyers here are furious with national
housing agency, Syarikat Perumahan Nasional Bhd (SPNB), for the two-year
delay in the delivery of its houses to them.Over 60 Taman Apas Permai house buyers claim that there had been so many extensions for the project undertaken by SPNB that they are no longer certain when it would be completed "if ever".
They said they were told that the Occupational Certificate (OC) and house keys for Phase B would be granted in September but over a month had lapsed and they had not hear from the developer.
Tawau MP Chua Soon Bui has since brought their plight to parliament.
"There was no reason for any postponements as SPNB is directly under the Finance Ministry.
"The affected house buyers want the government to stop giving lame excuses and to expedite the delivery of their houses," she said.
She noted that among the reasons given by the Prime Minister Najib Tun
Razak, who is also the Finance Minister, for the delay were diverse and
ranged from the technical to cost increases for building materials as well
as shortage of construction workers.
The Finance Ministry also reported that Phase B of the housing project was 100% completed and Occupational Certificate (OC) would be issued sometime this month, while Phase A was 96% complete and their occupation certificates were expected to be released by the end of this year.
Chua however accused the government of misleading house buyers by giving multiple dates of delivery only to postpone them later.
She said although the house buyers were compensated for the two-year delay
in completion of the houses, the amount was insufficient to service the
loans house buyers had taken from banks.The Finance Ministry also reported that Phase B of the housing project was 100% completed and Occupational Certificate (OC) would be issued sometime this month, while Phase A was 96% complete and their occupation certificates were expected to be released by the end of this year.
Chua however accused the government of misleading house buyers by giving multiple dates of delivery only to postpone them later.
"Furthermore, not all the house buyers are entitled to the compensation as some of them bought their properties later and now have to service their loans on their own," she said.
Chua said she would monitor the progress of the housing project until all the house buyers get their keys to their new houses on the promised new dates.
Recipients of houses under the Hardcore Poor Housing Project who find that the buildings are sub standard have been told to report the matter to their respective district leaders.
