A letter from an Owner

Dear Mr Stephen @ Chairman JMC Desa Putra Condominium,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the good job you have done towards better living in DP.
However I would like to take little of your time to point out several highlights.
1 ) Even when the previous management office operates, I’ve taken up this matter with them and during their time no action have been taken. I noticed behind my parking bay there are several different cars parked everyday at this parking bay. As far as I know, maybe they have only 1 parking bays but the have taken up to 6 parking bays and this cars only 1 have a DP parking stickers. I managed to taken down several registration car number for your kind action which is WXX 46, MXX 6973, JXX 696, CXX 4035, WXX 6417, WXX 2555, QXX 8937, WXX 9677 and WXX 444. I assumed they are tenants but I just can’t understand how they managed to park at this parking bay. These tenants sometimes have motorcycle and sometimes they like to park in between cars and not to mention the black oil stain they have messed up on the floor.
2 ) The main entrance at the P1 Andaman Apartments, the locking system is out and I assumed is being repair now. I was wondering if we can change the wooden door to glass door. Wooden door, seen by my two eyes are easily damaged and might get the locking system damaged due to force entry. I caught several tenants which don’t have an access card kicked their way in and when I told them off politely, they began shouted at me. Just an idea, or other way is too placed a guard in front of the door 24/7/365.
I hope your kind action will be take this matter to the management.
Thanks.

Note: JMC has addressed the problems to previous management, especially Mr. Teh (JMC member) has all the records but unfortunately the problems were unsolved and it was handed over to new management now.
Lately, we see improvement in most of the things, and hope that new management will get all things on track within a month or 2.

Cleaning Works going on




Last week, we saw the new cleaning company try to clean the lobby, however, due to various reasons we did not see much improvement in the cleaningness. If after 1-2 weeks, the cleaningness level is still the same then JMC should consider to make changes again.

Owners cum Residents Meeting


JMC has organised a meeting session with residents and owners, it is as usual that there were only about 60-70 persons attending.
JMC explained on the 2.50% retention funds issue. Asking owners to write to stakeholder lawyer to withhold the sum until all the defects are ratified by developer. We saw developer has rope in the contractors to move around and try to ratify asap, however, the contractor seem to work extremely slow.
JMC introduce the new Management Company "Burgess Rawson" to all the residents and explained on the tightened security measure.

Short Notice to Contractors

Most of the contractors in Desa Putra suffered "shock" after they were notified for not renewing their service from 1st August, 2008. Burgess Rawson Management Company is the party to manage this transitional period of changes, last few days we saw Mr. Nah accompanied by staff and potential contractors has been walking around in DP to do inspection, surveying and checking.

During last meeting, BR presented quotation from various contractors, every category of work has 3-4 quotations to allow JMC to select.

In last few days, we were talking to some of the residents, most of them are awaiting the changes, some even felt that it is too slow. They mentioned since the formation of JMC till now,
1) Lobby floor tiles, wall, ceiling, staircase, swimming pool deck, etc etc are as DIRTY as before
2) Improper attire (T-Shirt) in swimming pools are as usual, even when the security guard was patrolling, they pretend know nothing and walked pass by without doing anythings
3) Unauthorised parking elsewhere still the same, and even some owner's car was clamped in their own parking lot (can you imagine the standard of our contractor). You will see visitor's parking bay were mostly "full" every night till morning(current security guard seem unable to handle it).
4) Contractor's and delivery lorry always be treated like "King" that they can park their lorry in front of lobby many hours which suppose to be a drop off area.
5) Some JMC member and residents were tired of asking security guard to remove improper attired residents from swimming pool(almost daily), ask the security guards to instruct lorry driver to remove lorry to be park in visitor's parking bay or outside (almost daily). They asked "Why these simple tasks cannot be done properly?" Why we(residents/owners) need to do all these things, aren't the security guards are paid to do all these works? Why they needed to be teach all the times? There are many many frustrations, disappointments, "fade up" etc etc. These has been for past 6-8 months.

Residents/Owners hope that
1) Cleaning will be done properly especially the lobby area, rubbish are removed properly without affecting the daily life of residents
2) No more T Shirt(improper attire) swimmer in swimming pool, real low level of vandalism (security guard act immediately when they see any acts in CCTV).
3) No more unauthorised parking here. No more abused usage of visitor's car park. No more "little napoleon" can enter the premises without access card/proper registration.
4) No more children playing, shouting and kicking in basketball court after 10pm
5) No more adults still talking loudly in garden after 12pm, especially some foreigners must be notify about Law in Malaysia. Gathering of more than 5 persons in open area/public after 12pm is considered illegal assembly.
