PAM received cc letter from
Mr Ooi to the Architect asking for a true certified
copy of Professional Certificate(s) to their banker
- Standard Chartered Bank Bhd, as the previous Professional
Certificate(s) was not clear.
Submit comments pertaining to the discrepancies on
plans done by the professional architect for PAM's
investigation and appropriate action.
He regrets PAM has neglected his letters dated 18
June 2004 and 26 July 2004. He said the complaint
has nothing to do with the contract and legal matters.

As the matter is before the
Court, it would be subjudisive to deliberate on this
matter. After the Court has ruled on it and if you still
want to pursue the matter, you may refer to LAM (Board
of Architects) which is the statutory body responsible
for regulating the practice of architecture in Malaysia.

Received cc letter from M. Punitha, representative
for Perak Consumer's Association to Mayor of Dewan Bandaraya
Greentown dated 20 May 2004, which refer to "Cadangan
169 Unit Rumah Teres 2-Tingkat (PT.50413-50437, PT-50481,
PT50520-50615 & PT50618-50640), followed by a reminder
letter dated 24 August 2004 that PAM has failed or refused
or neglected to endeavour to find or seek or to resolve
the complaints channelled from the Public through them.
Therefore, they seek an early action from PAM.
She received a complaint from Chai Kok Foong that
the housing project that has been approved by the
Mayor of Dewan Bandaraya Greentown had some defects
such as:
- Wooden beams, cross beams and roof rafters that
were used as roof extension may be from the used woods,
as extended with steel.
- The extension was not completed.
|
Our record shows that we have received no letter
from you addressed to us dated 30 June 2004.
PAM is an Institute of Architects, whereas the statutory
body, which is responsible for regulating the practice
of architecture, is LAM (Board of Architects). If
you are unhappy with the conduct of the Architect,
you may forward your complaint directly to LAM.
