The Joint Management Committee ( JMC )

Abdullah Badawi had announced his line up in the cabinet but here at Prima, we stil do not know who the office bearers are in the committee . I presumed that Mr Chan will be appointed as the chairman since he commanded the most number of votes during the election but what about the rest. Who is the vice-chairman? Who are the secretary and the treasurer? I have no contact with any of the committee members. Therefore, I am just like you relying on the notice board to keep me posted.

The least the secretary can do is to come out with the committee list with their tel numbers and paste them on all the notice boards. I am sure by now they would have held a couple of committee meetings. I also wish to presume that the minutes of the meetings are available unless someone was not doing his homework or maybe they decide to do away with the minutes. As transparency and accountability is one of their manifestoes, the ownners should be kept informed of what is happening at Prima. Minutes of the committee meetings should be displayed on the notice boards. From the minutes, we would know the committee members who do not attend committee meetings and those who are there merely to make up the numbers.

It is important for the JMC to keep the owners posted during this transition period in particular on issues pertaining to our management accounts and the sinking fund, any hiccups during the handover, the quantum of our maintenance fee to be paid and the appointment of management agent. Another issue which I am keen to know is the the issue on the cost of the card access which ' he ' had pursued relentlessly and deligently to keep the issue alive. He had told the residents that it could be done for RM 150 000 implicating that the developer had conveniently and deliberately increased the cost with the blessing of the ex- chairman. I wish to know the outcome of his pursuit. The matter arising should be in the minutes of the meeting ( assume that it has been held ) between the developer and representative of the JMB.

To be transparent and accountable, the minutes should be displayed on the notice boards for all to see. They have to uphold the five manifestoes which I will not forget. Right now, the notice boards are still empty. Nobody knows what is happening at Prima. Perhaps , some owners may be fortunate enough to have a little info on what is happening and may be kind enough to keep us posted by commenting in my blog.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
