many like to call the hindu temple at the back of block-j as "our hindu temple", forgetting that the land actually is outside our compound, it's not ours.
but the entrance to this temple is at our fencing, so any1 like to go to the temple got to pass our compound.
so each time when there's big religion festival in the temple, the big group of devotees will gather at our compound, waiting for their turn to perform the ritual, and they also eat & fellowship at the children playground.
understand that every year, July, the hindu temple committee (from our residents) will organize a public prayer there, but this year another group seem like to do the same, but they r outsider, according to them, they also hv done it twice already.
so, they thought this time they can do the same, and, they printed the flyer, distributed to their group of ppl, calling a public prayer on the merdeka day. now, our problem is, the last public prayer was performed only a month ago, it's too soon for residents to face another 1.
in our last JMB board meeting, we struggled until 12.20am (midnight), almost all of us thought we should say NO to them, but as we considered the hindu-faith residents here, & also they hv informed their ppl, we r unwillingly, but allow them this time with the following conditions,
1) any damage of personal property (car, bike, etc) & common property should be borne by their committee.
2) not eating & drinking at the children playground, but they should do it at the foyer, rental RM100, deposit RM200 for cleanliness.
3) not vehicles should be allowed to enter.
4) do not enter our swimming pool.
5) this should be the last time for this external group. (but for Vista hindu temple committee, still can carry on theirs yearly 1, with the prior permission from JMB.)
6) no loud speaker or amplifier should be used during the event.
7) they should hire RELA ppl to control the flow of the crowd.
8) no canopy, tent, any kind of awning or shade should be set up.
9) no wine, beers, or any kind of alcohol drink should be consumed during the event.
JMB know that we r going to face some music from our residents, but we wish u can understand that this is a tough situation & decision to make.
for me personally, JMB should be beyond religion, race, political stand, as i told the committee, we should put residents' benefit as priority.
again i say, we remain neutral, and vista-resident is our priority.
thanks.

Yes, outsider should not be allow to organise their function in our compound. Their entering into our compound must be with our resident and in limited numbers of people to saveguard our resident and property.
Hopefully this will be the last of it.
Any functions thereafter should be organized and meant for our residents and their friends/families.
If the temple has so many supporters then maybe they can each donate to make another alternate rout to the temple without tresspassing our compound?
By the way, any free makan during the event and can we go?
hahaha
wakaka....so serious ...."they should hire RELA ppl to control the flow of the crowd."
huhu..how many ppl attending the public prayer ?? 4000 or 5000 ???cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hurayyyyyyyyyyyyy
hi,
like to stress on this, JMB's priority is Vista residents' benefit.
we got to look beyond race & religions, so as for this event, should it be organised, we got to make sure that our (either common or personal 1) property is safe-guarded.
so the purpose of the RELA is to make sure the public won't simply enter the area which they r not suppose to, i still remember last july we hv to advice some of them to leave our swimming pool, upper floors corridor, motorcycle parking area as they started to group themselves up make some residents feel uncomfortable.
latest development, now we hv few groups claim that they r the "original" group who started to use the temple during early time, sigh, but we can't hv all of them to organise public function at different time, can any1 of u advice who's the "original" 1?
thanks.

Dear JMB,
How about water? electricity? it's amounting to about RM100 per month, (if we go by RM3 per day) and this estimation is consider low because I saw many flourescent tubes there ON until midnight& also water consumption is quite a lot too, it's resident's money. why should we pay for it?
The gate there also post danger, I'm thinking someone can actually come in through the gate as it's not locked most of the time.
A concerned resident.
