Dear Sir,
Re: Petition against turning Private Residential Units into Hostels at SetiaWalk
The above refers. I, the undersigned owner and/or resident of SetiaWalk Serviced Apartment, am first and foremost against turning our private residential units at SetiaWalk into hostels.
Secondly, the Deed of Mutual Covenant/House Rules (Clause 1.2 of Schedule 3 – Community rules) signed between the developer, SP Setia, and the owners warrants that permitted use of the residential units shall be exclusively for Private Residential Dwelling only.
Thirdly, the use of residential units at SetiaWalk as hostel is in contravention with MPSJ guidelines, as our residential apartments are not designed for high density occupancy usage such as for hostel. At the moment, at least 32 residential units have been turned to student hostels with each unit having 5 to 9 adult occupants. We heard that these 32 units are just a beginning.
The owners and residents of SetiaWalk apartments have already been affected by the presence of those 32 hostel units: bomba safety issue due to oversaturation of adults per resident unit/floor, overcrowding in human traffic in common areas such as in lift/swimming pool/gymnasium/reading room, potential security issues relating to frequent change of student occupants in conjunction with college term changes, student lifestyle of staying active during night/wee hours, noise pollution and etc.
Therefore we have the responsibility of protecting and promoting the best interests of the owners and/or residents of our Serviced Apartments. We urge that the responsible authorities such as MPSJ can take immediate action to remove the 32 hostel units and to return SetiaWalk Serviced Apartments to its normalcy.
Yours truly,
Owner/resident of SetiaWalk Serviced Apartment

The steady growth of this petition reflects a shared concern about the integrity of our living environment. It is heartening to see neighbors unite in upholding the residential standards we all agreed upon when we first chose to call this place home.

Total disaster. Keep residential units for residents only. Enough is enough.
Agree with this. My property value is dropping because of all the noise and traffic from the hostels. Fix this mpsj!!
This is a residential area not a student dorm. My family lives here and we deserve some peace and security.
Safety is a huge concern. Too many strangers coming in and out of our hallways every single day. Do something.
Ridiculous to pack 9 people in one unit. Building was never meant for this density. Stop it now.

We paid for a private residence not to live next to a boarding house. Totally against the rules.
