My office is over at Dataran 32 in Section 14 Petaling Jaya. This is an excellent business location in PJ. We’ve got restaurants like Papa Rich, Coconut house and probably one of the best banana leaf restaurants in PJ, Ravi’s.

There’s just one problem – it smells like shit. As in fecal matter, hold your nose bad. After repeated attempts to make management aware of the foulest of odor problems, it persists.

Initially the Dataran 32 office blamed the problem on the restaurants here by suggesting that the offending odor was trash. This does not smell like trash though. It has the smell of methane that accumulates from sewage in tropical heat. Further pressed on the issue, Dataran 32 maintenance admitted that there is a sewage problem. They suspect that at some point one of the suites here was doing renovation and decided it would be a good idea to pour building material like concrete down the toilet. Apparently there is blockage in the pipes. Raw sewage stays in the pipes rather than completing its journey to the hellish underworld.

OK then, please fix it.

Imagine your embarrassment when you invite a client to your office and the first thing they ask is, “What’s that SMELL?” The odor is so strong in the car park that I’m worried there could be an explosion, seriously.

We’ve sent emails, faxes, repeated calls and the problem has persisted for a year.

I hope that Crest Builder Holdings Berhad urgently resolves this problem at Dataran 3 Two Square.
