OVERLY CROWDED NOTICE BOARD




This morning when I went downstairs at CP1 I saw the notice board was posted with so many things....overcrowded with too much information i.e. JMC 1st minutes, EGM Minutes, COB Report on the arbitration and JMC member’s pictures. Unfortunately they forgot to put up the notice on their next meeting and finally after so many owners had requested, the secretary had to post it on the noticeboard glass panel at the very last minute(dated 8th Sept 2008)!!! (Of which I found it was abit too late knowing that they had decided their next meet on the 28th August itself!) The notice of the next meeting was only posted after few owners had raised the questions on whether or not they are invited in JMC meetings! What is this? I thought the new JMC was all about transparency?? Which means, everything has to be communicated ahead of time given appropriate notice period to all owners so we too can plan our daily lives plus knowing what is happening to this condo?? Transparency is not about giving last minutes information to owners. We are not 'dustbins' to be loaded with too many things at one go just because someone is incompetent in time & information/communications management!

Too much information at one go and I nearly twisted my neck while reading all the information in FINE prints on the notice board and I also feel it's unfair to those especially elderly owners with eyesight problems who can't even read anything! These notices should have gone into everyone's mailbox. Worst still, for those who park at CP2, they won't even know anything!! You see this wasn't the case when the nominations for the EGM were going around. It was posted on all the floors plus CP2 windows. Why this is an exception when it's more important especially to all owners??

Complaint Letter from Block A Owner

Received the below complaint letter from an owner of Block A. It's sad to hear that the lift in Block A is still in a very bad condition!!! So JMC ??? What's happening ?? Where are the notices of who is who in JMC as no one seems to know who you are??

Hi,

What is the latest news? 2 weeks elapsed since the EGM and there is still no news from the new committee. Whatever happens the committee should inform the SV residents, and not just remain silent.

See, lift no. 1 in Block A has been left unattended for more than a month, and lift no. 2 just went out of order just now. We, I my wife and a lady staying at 10 floor were trapped (the lift decided to stop abruptly) between 2nd and 3rd floors. The guard forced open the lift door, and imagine we have to jump down from the lift to the 2nd floor (mid way between 2nd & 3rd floors). Now, I wonder anyone of the committee cares about getting both the lifts repaired?

Who is the property management compay tending to our building? What is the managing agent Muniandy doing? Looks like very soon there will be submission of complaints to the COB for the inactiveness of the JMC and managing agent. And, we, residents of SV will become the laughing stalk around town. Just hope this will not happen.

I appeal to the JMC to be sensible and logical. The residents placed their confidence in them to look after their well being by electing them in the last EGM. And the residents are hopeful that the JMC can immediately act to rectify the obvious fault in the building, particularly the lifts which are essential to the resident traffic.

Just pray the things will turn out to be better.

Apology from me for bothering you, but I really do not know who to turn to now.

Regards.
