From Sunitha Ruthram
I am writing to provide a response to an article published by Free Malaysia Today on May 4, 2025 titled “Fear comes with the rain for Puchong condo residents”.
The report, though well-intentioned, paints a one-sided picture by those featured and regrettably omits the extensive mitigation efforts and multi-stakeholder coordination that have been consistently undertaken by the current joint management body (JMB) to address this issue.
This omission has unfortunately contributed to public misperception, casting doubt on our ongoing work to safeguard both the safety and property value of our community.
To begin, it is important to establish that from the time Koi Prima Condominium was granted development approval till Dec 18, 2021, the area had no record of flooding.
The flood in 2021 was unprecedented in nature, affecting not just Koi Prima but also vast swathes of the Klang Valley.
The flash floods on April 11 and April 23 this year were exceptional, brought about by days of intense, continuous rainfall. In both instances, the JMB acted swiftly and responsibly, whereby immediate safety protocols were implemented, lift operations were restored within hours and areas were cleaned.
Contrary to the narrative presented in the article, the current JMB has not remained idle. We have taken meaningful steps to engage with and collaborate closely with key authorities, including the commissioner of buildings (COB) for Kuala Langat, the Kuala Langat irrigation and drainage department (DID), and the developer of Koi Prima.
Together, these stakeholders have supported critical flood mitigation efforts, including:
- Hosting discussions.
- The cleaning and desilting of the tributary canal in front of Koi Prima.
- Inspection and planning for repairs to the flap gate, which controls water flow in the area.
- Ongoing site visits and engagement with the district engineer to evaluate infrastructure needs and flood patterns.
While these efforts may not be part of the broader “RTB Sungai Klang” flood prevention initiative, they are nonetheless indicative of targeted and localised actions being implemented to prevent future floods.
We welcome and appreciate the continued technical and logistical support from Kuala Langat DID in this regard.
Moreover, the JMB has maintained a culture of transparency and resident engagement.
We communicate frequently through circulars, digital notices and group announcements. Residents have been consistently informed of flood prevention works, emergency readiness procedures and inter-agency collaborations.
It is also important to state that the current JMB operates independently of past office bearers.
Their comments do not represent the work being done nor the perspectives of many residents who have seen first-hand the improvements made since June 2024.
We do not deny the concerns of residents as flooding is an issue that understandably generates fear and frustration.
However, it must also be acknowledged that the JMB has consistently worked to protect the integrity and value of this property, which includes both immediate repairs and long-term infrastructural collaboration.
The financial health of the condominium has also improved under the stewardship of the current JMB, including the rebuilding of sinking fund reserves and reinvestment into preventive infrastructure.
We wish to reassure all potential purchasers and tenants that the current management is fully committed to addressing these challenges, not through empty promises but through real partnerships, action plans and accountability.
We invite open dialogue and welcome site visits by interested parties, including media outlets, to see our work in motion.
In closing, we remain grateful to the majority of residents who have stood by the JMB 2024/2025 and participated in our community improvement efforts. We also thank the Kuala Langat COB, Kuala Langat DID and the developer for their continued cooperation.
It is our sincere hope that future reporting on Koi Prima will offer a more balanced perspective, one that not only highlights the challenges but also gives due recognition to the genuine efforts being made to overcome them.
