FA CUP 2007 VS AKADEMI FANTASIA

Petang Sabtu, mai ke umah kak idah bantu untuk prepare ingredients kenduri doa selamat esok hari. There, i've met en.norfin and auntie hanim (dad n mom in law of my sis). Lama dah tak jumpa mereka. Nampaknya auntie hanim makin sihat n ceria. Lama dah auntie tak keluar kemana-mana semenjak jatuh sakit.

Sepanjang ptg tu, mai lepak kat luar umah ngan anak2 buah potong n kupas apa yg patut. Maghrib, ateh sampai. Bestnye...semua serbu YOT the comel boy! Sekali sekala berkumpul ramai, syok gak. Tepat kul 8.30pm, ateh, kak idah n her children dah melekat depan TV tgk akademi fantasia.. Mai, Afiq n Poey pulak tunggu FA Cup Final. Hehe... Malam tu, tv remote asik tukar tangan. Masing2 tak sabar tunggu commercial break.

CCC NOT CFO

The Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC) has replaced the Certificate of Fitness (CFO) for Occupation to smoothen the delivery process of building.

Under the new act, the architect or engineer of a project who submits building plan is defined as the “principal submitting person” who will have to issue the CCC before occupants can take ownership of their homes.

Previously, the power to check the technical aspects of a project and issue the CFO was with the local authorities. (They will continue issuing CFOs for projects where building plans were approved before the CCC date of enforcement.)

The Housing and Local Government Ministry is mindful of the many problems posed by the old system such as a delay in certification by technical agencies, additional conditions imposed by the council at the time of CFO application and lack of technical officers in the council to process the CFO.

CCC – a new system
The new system has the following characteristics:
  • It is an extension of the existing CCC system for singly-built buildings to buildings in other categories.
  • The CCC is issued by the Principal Submitting Person (PSP), who is a professional architect, professional engineer or a registered building draughtsman who submits building plans.
  • Planning permission and building plans should be approved by PBT beforehand
  • PBT is authorised to inspect the site at any time and to issue a notice if there is a breach or divergence from the approved building plan
  • PBT can issue a notice in writing to a PSP to withhold a CCC issuance if the breach or divergence is not rectified
  • PBT is allowed to execute rectifications considered necessary if the PSP fails to do so
  • A responsibility process matrix is introduced. Each construction component needs to be verified by professionals and contractors or trade contractors. 21 Form G will be inserted as a new schedule under UBBL 1984 (amendment) 2007

    The CCC will only be issued by the PSP after all parties are satisfied with the supervision of the construction and that the building has been completed according to the provisions of the laws and terms in the building plan approval.
