Punish errant developers
06/03/2007 NST By S. RAGUNATHAN, Petaling Jaya

I WISH to refer to the article "Elusive strata titles" (NST, Feb 10) which highlighted the present state of affairs concerning the issue.

This matter must be given priority to lessen the hardship faced by millions of apartment/condominium buyers.

A proper mechanism must be in place or worked out by experts in the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit or other relevant government agencies to resolve the problem and action must be taken against errant developers without fear or favour.

Errant developers must be made to suffer financial loss. Only then will they comply with the laws pertaining to obtaining strata titles from the authorities without delay.

The situation seems to be critical and ought to be given serious attention. There must also be a strong will to enforce the laws.
