Dialogue session

The dialogue session which was held on 3 Dec 2006 went on very smoothly. There were no heated arguments and not many issues were raised. My only regrets was that the turnouts were poor. Most of the owners' concerns were whether they have to pay for the system or whether it would give the management an excuse to raise the maintenance fees or not. I assured them that there would not be an increase in the maintenance fees because the implementation of the system would not affect the operating expenditure at all. The fund used to finance the whole project comes from the sinking fund and the estimated cost incurred is about RM 300,000. Our reserve stands at about RM 1 000 000. which has not been utilized to date. I told the owners that it is not a prestigious thing to have this access card but we proposed it because it is necessary for our condos. This system can assist the guards to provide better security for Prima. We only need to share the feelings of those victims of break-ins to understand that nothing is more precious than our safety.

It's all system go now. We had met the target of more than 60%. More than 60% of the owners have given their consents. I will be handling over the lists of the signatures to Dats Management Sdn Bhd soon. For me, it is a big relief. The R.A.'s duty is over for now. The final decision still lies with the management. It is an irony that the money is ours but they make the decision.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
