Dear Residents,
I was informed that another 385 files are now being processed. The batch of 400 files have been registered and by now, most of the residents should be receiving your letters. We strongly urge you to immediately collect your final title as soon as you receive the letter from the Land Office. This will facilitate the work of the Taman Kepong Action Group.
The reasons we are saying this:
(a) There are a number of files still registered under the name of the developer. We plan to work closely with the Land Office to identify the ownership of the land -- whether it is the open space that has not been gazetted as green lungs, or they are land owned by the developer but sold to individual purchasers but both developer and purchasers failed to carry out the transfer of property. If this being the case, the Land Office will assist the purchasers to carry the transfer with minimum charges except the stamp duty payable.
(b) After 80% of the residents have received their final titles, it will be much easier for the committee to look into the 20% whose files are still pending. Some of the owners have put the old correspondence address; hence, letters sent out by the Land Office might have gone to the old home. For owners who have not received the letter yet, you can either contact Land Office and provide them with the HSD and PT Number to see if your title has been issued; or you can check with the tenants of the old house to see if the letter had been sent to them.
(c) According to JUPEM, some 50 files are being held up in JUPEM for various reasons. It is learnt that the rest of the files have already been submitted to the Technical Department at the Land Office since two years ago. The Action Group is planning to meet with the Head of the Technical Department to see how these files can be processed and expedited so that residents of Taman Kepong can obtain their final titles soon.
At this juncture, the Committee would like to register a word of appreciation to the certain staff of the Land Office as well as to YB Dr Tan Seng Giaw for assisting residents to obtain the final titles.
There will be another meeting at Pemadam Office on 13 March 2011 (Sunday) 3:00pm. Please be there. Those who have obtained your final title, please bring along a copy of the title.
Thank you.
