Election fever in Prima Setapak


There is an election fever going on in the country but at Prima we are already having our own version of fever. We shall go to the polls on Wednesday 27th Feb 2008 at 5.30 pm. A group of residents have already started their campaign. They have come out with their 'choy tan' ( the list of committee members ) whom they are going to elect to sit in the committee. I was also told that they are going from door to door to carry out a petition to stop me from being nominated. They perceive me as a threat to them. They had already sent out feelers to persuade me from taking part in the election. What they are demanding does not make sense. They are actually asking me not exercise my right as a legitimate owner of my property. If I do not attend this meeting, the percussions for me would be very much greater. All the owners would have the perception that I had benefitted from the implementation of the card access system. This card issue would not just die off. They keep harping on its cost and effectiveness. I would surely attend this meeting. I have done nothing shameful. I have not committed any CBT. I have not abused my power. Why can't I face the residents?

I don't mind these Chinese educated group of residents going round campaigning. But these people are not carrying out a campaign to elect their members, they are carrying out a smearing campaign against me. They told the residents that I was responsible for increasing the cost from RM 100 000 to RM 300 000. Somebody said that it could be done for RM 150 000 and now it can be done for RM 100 000. I just don't know what other allegations which they have against me. They are going all out stop me from being elected. They may even cause a scene or become unruly on the day of the election. They would not accept any explanations. To them, the cost is too high and unacceptable and it is the white elephant of Prima Setapak and nothing else. The glass doors must go and this is what they are going to do if I am out of the picture. The total cost now is RM240 000. The guards have told me that since the implementation of the card access, there were no reports of break-ins at all ( Correct me if I am wrong) Previously, there were an average of ten break-ins every year. Tell this group of residents , they would not want to listen to this. To them, Mr See must dissappear.

I shall not be deterred by all this negative publicity. I shall and will attend the meeting . I want it to be a fair contest. There are so many things to do when the JMB is formed. You have to set the house rules, determine the amount of maintenance fees, appointing a new management agent and the most important task is to acquire the fund from the developer. I just want to be there to contribute. I went through all these things before. These people are not looking at the bigger picture. To them, my weakness is the card access.

Residents from Block A must turn up on that day to exercise their rights to vote. If they can't make it , they can appoint proxies to do it. If they decide to do away with the card access, Block A residents have much to suffer. The lifts will always be full again. People will be passing through the lift lobby day and night.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
