Usually that's the problem with companies. Trying to save a bit of money by shying away from their responsibilities, then end up kena sued or shamed by the public on the media...penny wise pound foolish! Now everyone that reads this forum knows about the glass cracking incident! Sigh!!!

I just want to make it clear that I didn't make the complaint to the housing ministry purely over RM160 per se. I was just annoyed with the management's attitude, in response to my first complaint. Hinting that I could have accidentally broken the glass myself and then putting the blame on the developer is outright questioning my moral values. At the end of the day, it is not about the

U complained to the housing ministry over RM160??? :) IOI must have pisses u off big time ;) I personally wouldn't have the time and courage to go against the big boys....guess that's why they always get away with it!

Cracking glass probably due to subsidence, which happens in most buildings, normally appearing as cracks on your walls, or doors that can no longer close, etc..

Chat with my ID guy and he said FR is quite popular with own stay folks due to its location, proximity to the amenities. However, he said it is a really noisy place, you practically have to close the windows full-time.

An update on the glass cracking incident:
Four days after the first glass panel cracked, another glass panel in my living room cracked all of a sudden. Both panels are fixed beside the sliding door in the living room. Again, we made a report to the developer but they were adamant that we are fully responsible for the cracks. The remark that I could have broken the glass myself was simply

2011-11-19T01:01:00.024+08:00

The glass probably cracked due to thermal stress,especially when it is exposed to direct sun and expand. If the panel is not constructed properly so as to allow room for expansion, the glass will crack under stress!!!

Dear fellow FR residents,
The glass panel in my living room cracked just a few days ago. The loud cracking sound caught both my elderly parents by surprise….bearing in mind that no one was close to the panel at the time of the incident. We reported the matter to the management office immediately. A representative came to take some pictures but she hinted that they may not repair the panel

2011-11-16T09:52:09.599+08:00

My experience with the developer is that once you have collected the keys to your unit and they have rectified the defects in your unit, any subsequent defects that you picked up will not be entertained. I have had a few bad experience with them personally. So my advice to future FR buyers is to be more thorough when u note down the defects in your unit. Any minor defects should be noted down. I

I had a chance to view the condo and was not impressed with this condo. The swimming pool and sauna is extremely small for a large condo like this. The only thing nice is the entrance foyer. The traffic noise is unbearable too. I personally wouldn't pay above 450 Rm per sq ft for this project.
