Pay maintenance fees or lose your property, DBKL tells govt housing project residents

KUALA LUMPUR residents living in government housing projects owned by the city hall (DBKL) who haven’t paid the maintenance fees in a while are advised to settle what’s owed to their Joint Management Body (JMB) and Management Corporation (MC), or prepare to lose their property.

Four residents living in the Kampung Baru Air Panas People’s Housing Project (PPR) in Setapak, who owed thousands of ringgit to their JMB, discovered this the hard way when the local authority, via its Commissioner of Buildings (COB), had obtained a judgment debtor summons to collect years and years of unpaid maintenance fees.
