Memorandum Of Transfer for your Master Title
Dear owners of Taman Residensi,
On 3rd Oct 2009, the Land Office (PPTGWP) issued a Master Title. It is in the best interest of every home owner to expedite this process to enable you to put your name on your property as fast as possible. Until then, the developer KIP Land Sdn Bhd (KIP) can at any time take back your property, even if your secured loans are in good order. This is according to the Land Office at a meeting with our Persatuan Pro-tem Exco last week.
Besides, a lawyer told me (please don't quote me) that after 1 year (from 3/10/09), if the MOT is not executed, they can charge the owner *us* a penalty of something like RM1,000!
Please refer to letters from KIP:
1. dated 16/10/09 regarding Issuance Of Document Of Title, and
2. dated 16/11/09 regarding Progress Billings for Sep[arate Document of Title together with Memorandum of Transfer to Purchaser's solicitors.
In my case, I signed all documents and made all payments at William Leong & Co (KIP's lawyer) and my bank's lawyer on 16/1/10 and submitted copy of my DBKL Assessment Jan-Jun 2010 bill with paid stamp on 29/1/10. I found out earlier this week that they have only just submitted Taman Residensi owners' documents for stamping.
I don't know about you but the RM360.00 printing / travelling / tel / postage / misc charges by William Leong & Co are ridiculously high in the first place. Having agreed to pay these so-called "Disbursements" and then to find out that they have been sitting on documents is bad for business. Not to mention reputation.
I have made a request to KIP (attn: Mz. Jamie) and William Leong (attn: Mz. Irene) expedite the process and not delay the transfer of title to owners of Taman Residensi Kuala Lumpur.
Hopefully, this will make all our lives a little more secure. A little better.

KIP then instructed property manager IM Global Property Consultants (IMG) to directly pass down the the commercial Quit Rent expense to owners via Invoice dated 17th Feb 2009.
Despite repeated requests and objection from owners, neither KIP nor NH nor PPTGWP has taken any steps to alleviate the burden placed on innocent owners, some of whom have unknowingly paid up to IMG what is not theirs to pay and some of whom refuse to pay a single cent.

Blog Creation
So at our last Protem Committee meeting on 1/3/10, tech-savvy Mr. Terry Ter suggested we sett up a blog. I was hesitant at first, because why set up something unless you can make it relevant and populated with content, right? But since there was no objection to this idea, I've decided to go ahead and do it.
To all dear residents of Taman Residensi Kuala Lumpur, let me introduce myself. My name is Sam Sopiee and I'm the Protem Secretary. And under the guidance of Mr Simon Sun, Mr. Raja Azizan Shah, Mr Chandra Sekaran and the other Committee members, I will update y'all with news here.
