How to apply for past approved plans from MBPJ

Here is a useful piece of information if you ever need to get building or renovation plans previously approved by MBPJ (Majlis Bandaran Petaling Jaya). You will first have to prepare an application letter. Below is a sample as a guide:

It would be a good practice whenever handing documents to government departments to also have a copy of the document for them to acknowledge.

I waited months without news of the application. So the advice is to return to them later with the acknowledged copy of the application. It was in this way that I finally get a positive response from them.

Next time is to pay RM100 for the right to take the approved plan out of MBPJ to get them photocopied. If I remember rightly, I had to leave my identification document with them as a security that I will return the borrowed plans to them after photocopying them.
