Updated maintenance list

One of the points raised during the recent AGM was for us to have a list of all those whom has not paid or have not been keeping up-to-date their share of the maintenance fees.
I will be in contact with Mr Ong soon to get this updated list and with the permisssion of our committee, it will be published here for all to see.
From the poll, 11 out of 30 of you whom have voted on the poll feels that our neighbours will pay their share if we highlight this to them again. There is still hope.
Once the list is out, let's all each have a nice chat with our respective neighbours and find out the real reason for them not paying their share.
Feedback and comments please.......

The story so far.....

Thank's to all of you for visiting this blog and casting your vote. It's great to see some of you have taken the time to vote on possibly our the two hottest issues ie. the level of security and also why some of our neighbours are not paying their share of maintenance.

Welcome to the four of you namely, Ngee Boon, Daniel, Chong and Samantha for showing some interest by signing up to this blog. And yes, a special mention to Daniel for leaving the first comment.

How about the rest of you guys out there ? If I recall, during our AGM, there were a few of us which was pretty vocal about several issues. Why the silence now ? Do we need to meet in person to get our message across ? C'mon guys, let's hear it from each and every one of you !

I understand from Mr Ong that there will be a security committee being formed soon. So far, there's twelve of us (52%)who feels that the current level of security is good but it can be improved further. Perhaps we could each put on our our thinking caps and offer some suggestions to the committee on how this can be achieved.

As for the other issue on why some of our neighbours do not pay, I will leave it for the next post.....

An incident to share

On Wednesday, July 1st at approximately 7:30pm, my wife was at the guardhouse to observe some of the visitors coming to our neighbourhood.

There was a Proton car with two Indonesian guys. Our guard passed to them a plain A4 paper for them to fill in their identifications. Before the guard allowed the visitors in, my wife asked the guard which house they were going to. When the guard went back to ask the two Indonesian guys where they were going, they looked at each other and one of them showed the guard the address from his mobile phone.

In reply, the guard told them that the address is not Sierra Damansara but it is actually Villa Damansara. They subsequently made their exit.

Based on this incident, there is certainly room for improvements. Instead of asking the visitors to fill in their particulars on a blank piece of paper, our guards should request for the visitor's particulars (eg. NRIC, Driving Licence) and record them down on a proper log book.

"That's easier said than done !"...I hear some of you saying.

As per mentioned during our recent AGM, let's have more volunteers to be at our guardhouse to help ensure that each and every visitor to our neighbourhood is properly accounted for.

I look forward to hearing feedback and suggestions from you. Should you decide not to post your comment here for whatever reasons, do drop me an email at chong.leslie@gmail.com
