Inappropriate utilization of fund

I was at the lobby and a notice on the notice board caught my attention. It is hardly prominent and many residents thinking that it is not important will not take the trouble to read it . It does not look like an official notice. BUT........ after taking a closer look, it is indeed a very important notice to all the owners. The notice was definitely written by someone whose written English requires him to take more English classes. What is the notice about? The message is hardly clear. It is mentioned as a board meeting addressed to all the members. Are we all members of the board? If the JMC wants all the owners to attend the meeting, they should make it prominent. There is no letter head. The notice should read as ' NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS'. Maybe, they do not want many people to attend the meeting. Without hesitation, I sent a message to one of the committee member in the JMC requesting for clarification. I received a shocking reply. He gave me a call and I should thank him for his courteousness. He told me that he was not aware that there is such a meeting and he also told me that he was not aware of the contents in the agenda. I told him that whatever decision made should be a collective decision from the JMC. It looks like only a few favoured committee members in the JMC made the decision . Later, he called me again to inform me that it is a committee meeting. The notice was taken down briefly that very night but in the next day it was up on the notice board again. There is a little confusion here. I should perceive it as a meeting with all the owners. If it is a committee meeting, it is not necessary to put it up on the notice board. I just wish that all the owners turn up for the meeting which is scheduled to be held on Monday , 15th September at 8.00 p.m. If you have any grouses no matter how trivial it, this is the right forum for you to bring them up. You have every right to do so because you are a contributor to the management fund. I have to remind the owners that this is a rare opportunity for you to do so because the JMC does not often hold this type of meeting.

I went through the agenda. An item in the agenda caught my attention. There was a proposal to set up a " NAH TOK " in Prima. Our condo may look like the Genting Court flats and the Teratai Mewah flats where you can find many " nah toks " belonging to different groups of people celebrating many different kinds of festivals. It may also make our condo look cheap. The issue which I will like to raise is, is it appopriate to have a place of worship when there is already a big temple right at our door step. What will other communities feel about it? In the S and P, there is no provision for such a facility. Whose fund are they going to use to build the " nah tok " ? Should the JMC decide to utilize the management fund, is it justified to do? You cannot utilize the fund contributed by all different communities to build something which benefits only one community. The JMC should come to their senses. Do not bring any disputes into Prima.

The JMC should set their priorities right. The broken doors at the car park have not been repaired . Our security has already been compromised with the glass doors at Level-3 open. Don't wait for something to happen before any action is taken. The walls at the lift lobbies which are dirty require a new coat of paint. . When there is a heavy rain, water will splash into the lift lobby at the ground floor messing up the whole place. The lift lobbies at the ground floors and the guardhouse should be upgraded to reflect the standard of our condos. The equipments in the gymnasium should be properly maintained. Prima is very dark in the night. They should do something to brighten up the place especially the area around the guardhouse to make it safe for the residents to walk. The car park on the ground floor is very dark. One owner who had confronted the property manager was so furious that he wanted to bring the issue to DBKL. The JMC should improve the landscaping at Prima.These are the issues that the JMC should address in order to add value to our properties and not the "NAH TOK"

The JMC should do something that benefits all the residents. The car washing bay is a good proposal. The new entrance to the car park is a good proposal. The JMC should do something that benefits all and work towards increasing the values of our properties.

Goodnight and have a nice day.
