Legal opinion and update on current situation.

With LYL Groups sudden about turn and refusal to acknowledge what transpired in the meeting held on March 5th, 2011, PPKASTURI2 seek legal opinion as to how to resolve this matter amicably. Therefore the lawyer appointed by PPKASTURI2 advised that the best solution will be for LYL Group to terminate the "Deed of Mutual of Covenant" (DMC) as per clause 20 in the DMC. By terminating the DMC, LYL will be able to absolve itself legally from all its responsibilities as per the DMC. However LYL Group rejected this proposal and insist that PPKASTURI2 provides an undertaking letter that PPKASTUR2 will be held responsible to whatever consequences that may arise after the handover to PPASKTURI2 by LYL Group. PPKASTURI2 further sought legal opinion and was advised by the lawyer NOT to provide such undertaking letter to LYL Group as it may be detrimental to PPKASTURI2 as well as its members. With that the  negotiations reached a deadlock.

PPKASTURI2 quickly held a meeting and decided that it is obliged to provide the services as notified to all owners/residents. Therefore PPKASTURI2 implemented the Guarded Community Scheme (GCS) on April 1st, 2011. You may observe that the guards are dressed in white and blue uniforms. FYI the guards in blue uniforms are officially appointed by PPKASTURI2, please co-operate and adhere to their instructions or guidance given by them. You may disregard any instructions given by the guards in white uniforms. PPKASTURI2 also requests the owners/residents to bear the initial hiccups as it is the first time for PPKASTURI2 to manage and operate.

PPKASTURI2 is further seeking the assistance of Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKj) to advise LYL Group to accept PPKASTURI2's proposal as it is the best solution in hand to resolve the matter amicably. And PPKASTURI2 also requested the assistance of Polis Diraja Malaysia to advised LYL Group not to create further hindrances on the implementation of GCS at Kasturi 2.

PPKASTURI2 further apologizes to all owners and residents on the current inconvenience and trusts that with  continued support from the owners and residents PPKASTURI2 will be able to overcome the current situation to manage and operate independently and successfully.  Thank you.

Clarification on Letter purportedly sent by TSP Management Sdn. Bhd.

PPKASTURI2 hereby wishes to clarify that a letter dated February 18^th, 2011 and titled as “Payment of Kasturi 2 Maintenance Services” purportedly sent by TSP Management Sdn. Bhd. to you by hand.

Firstly PPKASTURI2 is unable to ascertain the letter as genuinely from TSP Management Sdn. Bhd. as the letter does not contain any name of person who wrote the letter as well as it does not carry any signature on it. For such a letter a senior management personnel  from TSP Management Sdn. Bhd (the Director or Chief Executive Officer) should have specified his/her name together with signature and preferably a company stamp on it. At least the letter should have stated that it is computer generated and requires no signature.

And if the letter is indeed from TSP Management Sdn. Bhd. then PPKASTURI2 treats the letter as contradictory and reiterates that TSP Management Sdn. Bhd. / LYL Group is fully aware of PPKASTURI2’s actions towards the formal implementation of Guarded Community Scheme at Taman Segar Perdana – Kasturi 2 on April 1^st, 2011. PPKASTURI2 also has all correspondence with LYL Group acknowledged and well kept in a file. Please find attached herewith PPKASTURI2’s last correspondence with LYL Group dated February 1^st, 2011 for your kind perusal.

Finally, you may receive similar letters in the near future and PPKASTURI2 suggests that you request the sender for the following information to confirm its authenticity. 

• 1.     A copy of approval letter from Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKj) to manage and operate a Guarded Community Scheme at Taman Segar Perdana – Kasturi 2 specifically and not any other “Taman”. (refer attachment for a copy of MPKJ letter given to PPKASTURI2)
• To provide in writing on any clause in the “Deed of Mutual Covenant” that is detrimental to you.
• Alternatively as a ratepayer you can also request for such information from MPKj via online at Sistem Talian Aduan Rakyat Selangor (stars.selangor.gov.my or via email at aduan@selangor.gov.my) 

As a responsible owners and residents association PPKASTURI2 does all its actions within the scope of law as provided and via collective decision making amongst committee members with sufficient quorum. And as part of its transparency policy PPKASTURI2 invites members of PPKASTURI2 to make an appointment with the secretariat to view the financials as well as other related information of PPKASTURI2.
