Upset and frustrated of having to wait for a year for the certificate of completion and compliance (CCC), a group of buyers at Segi Enclave, Menglembu held a protest in front of the office of the developer at Jalan Sultan Abdul Jalil in Ipoh, reported Malay Mail.
“How long we have to wait to get the CCC? We signed the sales and purchase agreement in 2013 and the agreement stated that the developer will hand over the shop lots to us after 36 months,” said Fion Seng Yoke Yin, whose husband acquired a unit for RM1.7 million.
The shop lot buyers have not also received the guaranteed rental stipulated in the agreement signed by them with the developer. Under the said agreement, the developer would pay the buyers rent for a period of six years from the completion of the three-storey shop lots.
They have not also received the keys to their shop lot units completed between August and November 2017.
Jennise Wong, a buyer from Johor Baru, said she is tired of travelling to Ipoh to try and resolve the issue.
“I spent a lot of money just in travelling, but whenever we are here the developer refuse to meet us. We hope the authorities will look into this matter immediately.”
Wong revealed that buyers have been lured by the developer’s promise that the area would be transformed into a university township upon completion of Segi University.
To buyers’ dismay, however, no such university was built.
“And we got to know the name of Segi Enclave will also be changed. We don’t know what is the new name of the place,” she said.
Perak Barisan Nasional Public Service and Complaints Chief Mohd Rawi Abdullah promised to write state Housing, Local Government, Public Transport, Non-Islamic Affairs and New Villages committee chairman Paul Yong Choo Kiong to relay the matter.
“We hope the buyers will get the CCC and also the rental guarantee as soon as possible. And I also hope this matter could be settled amicably between the buyers and developer,” he said.
