High Legal Fees and Costs Mar Joy of Owning PPR Units

I read a report on page M4 of the The Star on 15th January 2010 that says High Legal Fees and Costs Mar Joy of Owning PPR Units.

First of all, I would agree that PPR units is meant for lower income group in the country. I suppose that those units shall be units of houses that is below the RM100,000.00 or even at a price as low as a couple of ten thousands. Let us presumed that it is within the range of RM25,000.00 to RM100,000.00. Basing on the the range of price above the Legal Fees on Sale and Purchase Agreement shall not be more than RM1,000.00 as provided by the Solicitors' Remuneration Order 2006. However, if the property is governed by the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 [Act 118] the Solicitors Remuneration Order 2006 also provides that the following shall apply:-

a) RM250, if the consideration is RM45,000 or below;
b) 75% of the applicable scale fee specified, if the consideration is in excess of RM45,000.00 but not more than RM100,000.00;
c) 70% of the applicable scale fee specified, if the consideration is in excess of RM100,000.00 but not more than RM500,000.00; or
d) 65% of applicable scale fee specified, if the consideration is in excess of RM500,000.00

If it is a sale and purchase that is not governed by the Act 118, the scale fee shall be as follows:-

First RM150,000.00 the fees to be charged shall be 1% (subject to minimum of RM300)
For the next RM850,000.00, the fees to be charged shall be 0.7%
For the next RM2,000,000.00, the fees to be charged shall be 0.6%
For the next RM2,000,000.00, the fees to be charged shall be 0.5%
For the next RM2,500,000.00, the fees to be charged shall be 0.4%
Where the consideration or the adjudicated value is in excess of RM7,500,000.00, the fees to be charged shallnegotiable on the excess (but shall not exceed 0.4% of such excess)

Based on the above it is actually very clear, whether the legal fees charged on the PPR units are excessive or otherwise. It is easily escertaineable by the leaders who brought the issue through the press. Do some calculation you will know. The leaders will definately have friend who is lawyer. If he does not have one(amazingly), bring the matter to BAR Council, the question will be answered. Why do they HAVE TO bring the issue through the press. What is their mitive? Publicity or Politise the issue?

It is said that upon execution of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the purchasers has to pay a sum of RM5,582.00 shall be referred to the Bar Council for clarification. One shall also look into the invioce properly. What are the charges meant for?

I am of the opinion that making a sweeping statement and put the blame on the High Legal Fees will not solve the issue. I personally had an experience with this issue when a real case of overcharged was brought to me, it was settled without any press conference or press release.

政府必须认真看待人民

大家说:308是人民告诉政府人民有很多不满了!也有很多人说这些都是因为某些政党对人民不公平所带来的。但我个人的浅见是每个身在其位者都有责任。您们必须好好的应用自己的权力为人民,为百姓处理繁多的事件。繁多事件中有以下:-
1。内长说犯罪率下降了,但是他可知道有很多地方还是有问题呢?比如说有人被抢了五万元,三年后,还是没影没踪。这到底是为什么?难道得到KPI130%的警察无能为力吗?
2。老调重提的事件,每一年父母亲总是要带着孩子们为入学而烦。不但自己烦,联大人物也一起烦!有的明明住家两公里内有学校,但孩子被派到十多公里外的学校去。这些官员到底是为人民添麻烦呢还是为人民解决麻烦啊?
3。华小师资问题更加辣手咯!年复年,都没办法解决啊!
4。单亲家庭问题,政府拨出RM15 Million,为什么不是1MALAYSIA的慨念来拨呢?
5。马来西亚的经济蛋糕还足够吗?让各民簇共享?
6。贪污事件又如何啊!
7。还有。。。

问题一大堆!!!哎呀!!!

民众看不到反贪委会功劳

最敏感是提控政治人物,有十名政治人物已被控。但很不幸是,因为发生一些不幸或预料之外事件,导致民众看不到反贪会的功劳。阿布卡欣说。
我今早,看了头版新闻就感到这册新闻有些问题!就是说不出来问题出在哪里!今午,在从新看过才觉得原来问题时出现在这个名言上啊!难道提控政治人物及贪污的人之后,那是功劳吗?对于我来说这可是你分内的事。做你分内的是怎么回事功劳呢?你不是应该只求无过,不求有功吗?更何况这是你们应该为之的啊!

没有高官涉及

总检察长说:大马空军军机引擎案件,没有高官涉及!谢天谢地!一个保护国家主权既安全的机构,如果高官都监守自盗那这个国家还有救吗?话虽然这么说,但是如果没有高官涉及,那不是更可怕吗?那么这个国家的安全系统不是很有问题吗?一个保卫深严的空军基地,怎么那么不知不觉让人把战斗机给毁了(引擎不在战斗机还有用吗)。引擎在20/12/2007及1/1/2008被偷都不知道!等到22/5/2008才发现。他也说太多人涉及此案,我想请问一问他,是不是太多人涉及就不必追究啊!难道国家的安全及主权比不上个人的权益吗?太可怕了!
