I emphathise with those families whose peace is shattered during repair works done by their neighbors on Sundays.
However, it is a reality that some residents work 5 1/2 days per week (not me though, me being a "retiree"). Daily, they leave home before the sun is up, and arrive home long after the sun has set.
Sunday is their only available day to do simple repairs like fixing the defective faucet, adding an electric extension, repairing their whole-house water filtration system, etc. etc.
It is not practical to take 1/2 day leave each time such minor repairs are needed.
True, the KPRA has a SOP. But rules are made by men (and women), to serve as a "guide", to facilitate the attainment of some common agreed objectives.
Thus, I would suggest that we empower our President Daniel Toh, Deputy President Dato Redza, and our Hon. Secretary SP Lin (the "Triumvirate") the flexibility to use their joint discretion to allow, or disallow, specific requests for simple repairs on Sundays. This empowerment would in no way run counter to our SOP. Besides, the 3 gentlemen are men of good standing in society.
At least, then, the KPRA, through the wisdom of this Triumvirate, can gain the respect of our beloved Palma residents. We give the residents a chance to "engage" us, rather than confront us, if their "reasonable" requests are denied.
The alternate to this scenario could be a situation whereby residents simply do not consider the KPRA relevant.
Such residents may feel that they can do what they like, when they like, how they like, so long as it is within the confines of their "territory".
Not much we can do, legally speaking, can we?
My 2 cents worth.
Richard.
