How to Perform Change of Name in Syabas?

This is connected to another one of my blog on how to change the name for Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB)

Having shifted back from Singapore to Malaysia, Selangor. We decided to buy a terrace house.

After we got the keys from the seller, we had to go and apply to change the water supply (Syabas) account from the seller to our name.

A search on the internet pointed us to Syabas website. Perhaps it was my mistake in searching with the wrong keywords, I ended up looking at the wrong page in Syabas. Finally after asking the Syabas people on Facebook and getting a reply from them.....still unclear, by God's grace i stumbled upon this page today.

This is the link

In short this is what you need.

1) Copy of related documents (such as Sale and Purchase Agreement (just photocopy the whole document), Land title, Quit rent or Tenancy/Lease Agreement, etc.)

2) Accept the Water Supply Application Terms and Condition

SYA/T1/1 for landed property

SYA/T2/1 for individual sub meter which water supplied through Bulk Meter

(whatever that means, I do not think anyone will bother to read)

3) Water bill of the premise (if available) 

4) Copy of Identification Card (I/C) or Company Registration Number and Company Chop/Stamp

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!

Make sure your previous owner has cancelled their account with Syabas, else you will have to pay their outstanding balance before Syabas allow you to change name.
