PAY RM4,000, A PPR UNIT-YOURS!

Another "true" story( kisah "benar"):

A divorced Indian laddy, Madam N Stayed in a " Rumah Setinggan " in Cheras with her the only son. She works in cheras as a cleaner earning RM700 every month.

In September 2006, her house was ruined by flood. On that scary night, the rain was so heavy that all her belongings were damaged. Fridge, shelves, clothes cabinet, television, radio, furniture....all gone..( no more elaboration on how she felt, everyone can imagine it..)

She filled in form, applying for a Projek Perumahan Rakyat from the DBKL office in Kampung Baru, after few months of delay, she was finally given a unit in PPR Puchong! and, her another nightmare began, to and fro form the workplace and her new house, what an " overweight" burden to her! not only that she has to spend more on the bus fare, but, she has to bring her kid to his school located in Cheras very early in the morning!

Having thorough thought, she decided to request for transfer of PPR from Puchong to Cheras. She never demands much except a shelter for her and her son at a unit in PPR located in Cheras area.

Filled in form again, went to DBKL, submitted whatever application forms and letters that she could present.

and, dear all, below the conversation between herself and one of the DBKL officer,

Madam N: Encik, tolonglah, susah bagi saya berulang alik,gaji pun tak seberapa, semua kena belanja untuk menambang bus!

Officer: apa susah susah ni? dulu minta rumah kami sudah kasih, sekarang tak boleh pindah, lu tinggal situ untuk tiga tahun. bila kontrak penuh, awak minta balik Cheras, saya akan kasih awak mana-mana unit di cheras. tapi unit bukan baru punya. saya kasih satu bilik untuk awak. masa tu, mau tak mau, u suka!

She was so sad. The officer didnt even receive all the documents she presented. could not help herself but cried in the waiting area. A man from public came to her. Below the conversation:

The Man: Aji, apa nangis ada? tak payah susah susah minta tukar, sini pergi situ cari. mahu mana mana unit, cakap aje, senang. bayar RM4,000 untuk satu unit! saya punya adik dah berumah, tapi dia bayar R4,000 sini, dapatlah rumah PPR di Cheras, rumah baru! senang!karang ni rumah tu kasih sewa aje. untung juga!

Madam N; pakcik, pikirlah, kalau saya ada duit rm4,000, mahukah saya susah ni macam? rm40 pun saya susah payah jimat jimat, usah cakap RM4,000!

she left the DBKL office

Dear all, this is a damn "real' story took place in this " Boleh Land"!sad huh? Malaysia Boleh!
