Blog Material Plagiarized!

Yesterday, on 15 August 2012, the JMC discovered that our blog materials were plagiarized by a student from a private college who used the materials to construct her/his web site. The student's work was posted in one of the college's web page for evaluation purposes by their lecturers.

In the picture above, the college's web page and other students' work have been blurred and the college's name has been removed to protect those concerned, . However, the work of the student has been highlighted for your reference.

The student's work is shown in the following examples below:

This page contains links lifted from our blog 

 This page contains content "Misconduct by African Tenants at L01-12B" which was lifted from our blog in its entirety..including the photos.

 One of the pages with links to "The Management"

 "The Management" list is inaccurate and is not up-to-date.

 Permission has not been obtained to use the JMC's address and phone number 

The JMC has contacted the college and it has promised to remove the web page from the Internet yesterday. But, till today, 16 August 2012, the page can still be viewed, although parts of the web page has been erased, including the contents of the "For Rent" link. 

While we support the efforts by students to improve their skills in their course work, we do not appreciate them lifting materials from our blog and using the name of the JMC in their work without prior permission. It is also not appropriate as the web site could be accessed from the Internet and will cause confusion to our residents as the two web sites contain conflicting materials. The link on "For Rent" will be misconstrued that the JMC is acting as a property agent which is not our role. 

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri & Selamat Berpuasa

Reminder to Owners

Owners of properties in e-Tiara are reminded to check on their tenants from time to time as we have a reported case of a tenant who had sub-letted the unit to other occupants without the owners' consent and had even modified the premises to illegally accommodate additional tenants.

Owners who had entrusted their properties to agents should also check on their properties to ensure that their properties are properly managed.

Please note that the Management is not a property agent and we do not rent out units on behalf of owners.
