Hi, I am back again. In the last posting , I was talking about the importance of having a Residents Association. Actually, we don't have any authority to tell the management what to do. Our main role is to serve as a watch dog for Prima. We are here to protect our interests as property owners. To complain and to protest when we are unfairly treated. I wish to highlight something that we did last year.

I received a call from the management sometime in July last year. They told me that they were going to replace all the security guards citing shortage of manpower as one of the reasons. They were going to use those security guards in the brown uniforms. I told them that the present guards are performing well. There is no reason to change unless someone has a pecuniary interest in it. They insisted that they have to. So,the R.A. carried out a signature campaign to protest. We submitted the signatures to their boss accompanied by a nasty letter. They changed their stand eventually and we won the battle.

The point I would like to stress here is that what we did is not important but the fact that the Residents Association is there when we need it most, is important. As a group, we are able to do more than what an individual can.

I think I have written enough. I shall keep you informed from time to time. I think the next issue that I am going write about is the increase in the maintenance fees which I think many owners are keen to know. Have a good day.
