i-CLUB Sun 29 Jan 2012 - Sat 04 Feb 2012

29 Jan Sun 00:05
Me: Very punctual GM. Just past midnite now, & up comes the bass
Me: Every nite I think maybe 2nite GM will finally understand. Every nite GM fails
29 Jan Sun 00:12
Me: Bass is now thumping across Tun Razak, and of course will continue until past 03:00

29 Jan Sun 02:18
CX: GM I can actually feel the bass! This is getting worse every night. Why do u continue to torture us? Turn it down!

29 Jan Sun 14:46
Me: GM & DJ, you are pathetic excuses for men. Useless

29 Jan Sun 15:03
Y Bhg Tan Sri [Group Managing Director/Group Chief Executive] and [General Manager, Commercial Leasing & Sale, Mah Sing Group]
I have had to spend the last three nights in my spare room. For some reason, GM and the i-CLUB have decided to increase the bass levels again, and are continuing to ignore our text messages.
Last night the strength of the bass was such that it vibrated. CX experienced it worse. It is disappointing that you have chosen not to respond to her emails.
I ask again. What does your organisation intend to do about this situation? I really do NOT want to have you reply that you will 'discuss' with GM. Unacceptable, insufficient, and pointless.
Tan Sri [Group Managing Director/Group Chief Executive] and [General Manager, Commercial Leasing & Sale, Mah Sing Group], what will Mah Sing Group be doing to correct this situation? Or is it something that you cannot control? If the latter, I am very interested in all the reason why not.
I look forward to a reply.
Thank you
Rabbitgut

30 Jan Mon 00:13
Me: The fact that it is after midnite & club is almost quiet PROVES that 1) u CHOOSE when u want levels 2 b low & b) u CHOOSE when 2 ignore us & turn it up
Me: So don’t give me this nonsense like u did on 15 Jan about “That was no more traffic, all the way we just maintain our level”

30 Jan Mon 00:21
Me: Turn down the output of your vocals right now

30 Jan Mon 22:55

We are at Menara DBKL 1 and meet with the following DBKL personnel:
• Senior Deputy Director - Urban Planning Department
• Director - Urban Design & Building Department
• Director - Legal & Prosecution Department
• Director - Health & Environment Department
• Director - Business Facilitation & Petty Traders Management Department (Entertainment Licensing Division)
• Head of Enforcement & Coordination Unit - Urban Planning Department
• Town & Urban Planning Officer - Urban Planning Department
• Senior Planning Enforcement Inspector - Urban Planning Department
We are asked questions, given the opportunity to state our case, and to relate our six-month experience. We are asked to let DBKL have two weeks to investigate and monitor the club and its activities.

It is a good meeting.

01 Feb Wed 00:20
Me: GM 00:19 & as usual yr bass picks up just past midnite. Clearly 2days mtg w DBKL means little 2 u
Me: U will turn it down immediately

01 Feb Wed 00:38
Me: GM 00:35 on my floor not perfect but better

01 Feb Wed 02:26
CX: Very sad to report that we can hear the bass from your club. Please turn it down!

01 Feb Wed 23:51
Me: GM 23:50 & yr bass has become audible. U will ensure it is turned right back down
Me: NOW

02 Feb Thu 00:01
Me: 00:01 Turn it down GM!!!!!

02 Feb Thu 00:37
Me: 00:37 Now bass is almost silent but vocals are clearly heard GM
Me: 00:54 & now the bass is picking up again! Come ON GM!

02 Feb Thu 01:11
Me: 01:09 i-CLUB bass is still head, & now road works in front of Icon! I am sleeping in spare room 2nite

02 Feb Thu 01:16
CX: Honestly, can still hear bass from i-Club. What is going on? Plz keep it down!

02 Feb Thu 01:41
CX: I lived in NYC for 5+ yrs. A club that disturbed its neighbors would never succeed. The city would fine them until the club closed or abided by city laws. I pray KL can do the same.

02 Feb Thu 22:42
Me: GM this is crazy. 22:40 & already hints of deep bass can b heard

03 Feb Fri 19:05
I am copied on DBKL’s report of action against noise interference from the i-CLUB. It appears that the club is licensed only as a ‘Pub and Bar (NO ENTERTAINMENT)’ but there is clear evidence of entertainment (live band performance) on stage, and a wealth of photos posted attest to this.

The club is issued a written notice (dated 02 Feb) compelling them to stop any such activities within 24 hours, after which DBKL will continue surveillance. Failure to comply would result in enforcement actions including the seizure of entertainment equipment by DBKL at any time.

03 Feb Fri 23:50
I receive a call from DBKL. Their team is on the roof of my building taking readings. They request a visit to my unit to do the same and arrive within minutes. Sound levels are unusually low for a Friday night, which we attribute to the simultaneous presence of a DBKL team at the club. However, soft audible bass is acknowledged. I suggest they press their ears to the wall, and the team appear astonished that the thump of bass can be so easily detected.

They leave with assurances that monitoring will continue.

03 Feb Fri 00:30
Me: GM u were doing quite well until now 00:30 when bass has definitely gone up
Me: So u can turn it right back down now!!!!!

03 Feb Fri 00:56
Me: GM please please turn it down!!!!!

04 Feb Sat 01:14
Me: 01:13 GM yr bass has just increased tremendously!
Me: So 2nite yr strong bass kicks in after 01:00 instead of midnite?!? TURN IT DOWN!!!!!
Me: 01:19 much better. Sadly I know u well enough GM. It is sure to increase again soon 

Album titled S**K ME, I'M DELICIOUS 2012-02-04 

04 Feb Sat 22:54
Me: GM u need 2 know faint bass has been heard on & off in the past 15 or so mins

04 Feb Sat 23:51
Me: GM 23:50 & yr bass is ramping up already. U will turn it down again
Me: Now GM
