My Area Can No Longer Be Gated?

Yesterday Hubbs and I received a notice from the resident committee that MBPJ has given the management of the community 14 days to remove the barriers from the entrance of the area. Apparently no gated communities have ever been approved in the PJ area. How crap is that? That would mean that kids can no longer run around freely without their parents and the pool and gym would have to be opened to the public.

One of the main reasons I bought this place was because of the guarded and gated concept. Over 5 years, the place has also appreciated more than 100% because of the guarded and gated concept. So you can imagine how upset and I was and still am to received such shocking news. Today I called up the resident committee president and apparently the developer did not obtain the necessary approvals from MBPJ. That would mean all the residents in this community were duped into buying the place because of their gross misrepresentation. I believe all of us living here were willing to pay a slight premium for house solely because of the guarded and gated concept. How irresponsible can the developer be?!!!

To rub more salt into the wound, there's a rumour going around that a certain ex-politician just sold the house in the community not long before the letter came. Would that mean that this ex politician knew what was going to happen and decided to cash out? How unfair is that?!!!

At this moment no one knows what is going to happen and what recourse we would have against the developer if MBPJ actually succeeds in removing the barriers. All I know is that this place will not longer be safe and our houses won't be worth as much anymore. So much for having foresight and living in a good piece of investment. I also wonder whether this is the work of the newly elected state government in their attempt to digg out corrupt practices of the previous state government. I guess if that's the case, those living here that voted for the opposition better start regretting!!
