Sunway Hostel Break Their Promise

张贴于 February 8, 2006 – 12:52 pm | 作者是 黄德峻 | 张贴于 , , ,

Last year, in the mid of November, i’ve submited my Booking Form and Fees for a single aircon non-balcony room in Sunway Monash Condominium. They’ve promised me that by early submission of booking, i’ll definitely get the room i want.

I paid RM 470 for booking the room immediately after i submit the booking form and got a so-call-receipt from them which is not a proper receipt. It’s just a photocopied of the first page of my booking form and a cop of the management office.

Somehow the next few months, i tried to email them regarding the issues and ask for the confirmation of my room. After sending so many emails, i’ve only got one reply:

Please be informed that we have received accommodation booking form dated 21/11/05. Sorry for not informing you earlier. You will be informed in due course when the allocation is finalized. Currently we are busy with the new students coming for the pre u. programmes.

So they haven’t processed any of my bookings. That’s sucks honestly. I felt like cheated so i send back several email enquires when will the exact date of my allocation be done. The day i received that email is 6th January 2006. It’s almost after a month they replied my email. But further on, i got no repliy from them again. And in this letter, they don’t exactly answer me whether i can get the room i want or not.

I got no letter, no phone calls from them either.
So on 6th February 2006, exactly one month after their first reply, they told me that i’m allocated in Sinlge Non Air Con room. Hell, they’re breaking their promise! I doubt their policy and this is how they reply me:

Firstly you must understand how we operate before you question our policy.
It is not a question of booking early and you can demand any type of room
you need especially single A/C rooms. We have got 1400 students staying in
the condo hostel and roughly about 200 plus checked out after completing
their studies .Among these 200 plus, some of them were from single rooms.
These single rooms especially A/C rooms, will be allocated to staying
students who have been waiting for months for their single A/C rooms. So
,you can see it is difficult for new incoming students to get single A/C
rooms . you have to stay at the allocated rooms for a while and change to
single A/C when it is available. I hope you understand how we operate.
Please confirm your acceptance of the allocated room as soon as possible.

So i quoted some from their disclaimer:

Accommodation is available for outstation and international students from Sunway University College’s Hostel Management Office. The hostel is available on a first-come-first serve basis, and students can choose between the two types of hostels available, which are apartment style and condominium style.

iv. that priority will be given to new full-time international/outstation students

Man! I’m from outstation, and they don’t put me in the priority as i’ve booked earlier.
I’m not really angry for not getting an aircon room, what i’m angry for is that they DID NOT try to processed my booking earlier and effectively. And they informed me about the allocation just few days before i’m leaving for it! It’s sucks and mess up all the plans i made. If they could allocated me earlier, maybe i still can plan for living at other places.
Honestly, I’ve thoughts not studying there in stead of other universities. It’s their own loss.

    i think their tactic is to tell you the latest possible so that you have no other choice to stay at a no a/c single room.

    because now you have no choice to attend their college

    and you also have no choice but to stay with them

    unless you still have time or friends to look for you at sunway

    Haiz,wat to do lah!Last year I requested for single ‘non-a/c’ room…note tht it’s not a/c unit,it’s non a/c summore…they also tell me the same thing!Stay first and WAIT until it’s available…hell…now kena assigned to sharing non a/c room then asked me wait but I already told them since last year sometime end of Nov.,then they say ok but when I called them during my holiday they say there’re many new intake students coming in and demand for it and there oso others staying students waiting summore!Dun believe them…!Now many units being privatised and the whole block B being upgraded to a/c units…so the likelihood to get a single room a.s.a.p. is very low now :(

    how to say it’s privatise? perhaps you cna write something about it and post in your blog then msn me the link.. we’ll look into the matter and investigate it.
    the whole block B is upgraded to aircon unit and they still say no room, that’s bluffing!

    U noe wat?My hsemate just got an a/c single room in block B and the thing tht makes me angry is tht he requested for it yesterday and then the Mr Sin give him one straightaway in block B.He can anytime move in if he wants…tht’s y i wonder y u can’t get provided tht u’d did ADVANCE booking.I’m going to request again for my either single non a/c room or sharing a/c room next Monday.Do u need my help to ask them anything???About the privatisation thingy I actually dunno much but many of my frens and most of my hsemate were affected.I think the owners want to take back their units and rent out themselves rather than giving the authorization to the hostel management where they earn less rental due to the management needs to like deduct the rental for housekeeping,maintainence,staff’s salary and so on…tht’s the rumours.Dunno wat they up to.
