how soon the vista condo can be the real condo is very much depend on how it's residents want this dream to come to pass, in fact if we got 90% of residents to have the same desire, then perhaps even before yr2012 we should see the very much improved vista condo standing tall in lebuh relau 2.
if we got 90% of residents committed to this vision, or abt 250 unit as total is 275 unit, then we can expect minimum monthly collection of 25k for current month, compare to the existing one of 22k, then with the extra 3k, indeed much more things we can do!
(but if u follow the monthly account pasted at notice board, the income is much higher, it's because some defaulter start paying the old debt)
at the moment abt 80% are paying (some pay promptly, some drag few months), another 20% still refuse to pay, out of this abt 10% are unreachable (staying outstation & the house is empty..) but another 10% are staying among us but not willing to get their money out of their pocket...
let's zoom into these 10% residents who are not paying, the challenge now is how to convince them to pay promptly, as we need them to do so, by the way, none of them are so poor until no money for the monthly service charge.
so we want to open to our residents to suggest to us what to do with them, total abt 25 unit of them, at the moment they just park their cars outside, or just driving motorcycle....
side track a bit, did u guys notice the occupancy rate of vista condo is much higher now? as i said, should be abt 85 to 90% at the moment...

vista condo improvement, what r the hindrances?
in the past we used to worry abt the finance, glad to say that now it's no longer the biggest problem, of course if we can hit higher collection rate then the more upgrading activities can be carried out...
in fact the biggest headache we having now is the non-cooperative residents in Vista, not saying they r bad persons, but they just can't understand if they can flow with the Vista rules as other ppl do, then at the end they will get the benefits out of their good attitude.
let me quote the few examples, some residents like to park at the place which are not designated as parking area or like to park at other ppl's lot, for their convenient sake. For this kind of problem will always waste much time & energy of JMB members, security guard & office staffs to trace who r the ppl, to talk to them, to give warning or worst case make report in police station, recently RM350 being spent to buy the clamp for this problem, & will spend few hundred ringgit more just to plug in some metal rod to prevent ppl from parking there, imagine if we can use this amount of time, energy & money for upgrading, then indeed much improvement can benefit our residents, include these ppl too...
few months ago we encountered some problem that defaulters' card were blocked then they quarrel with the night guard, then additional guard was hired to counter this problem, look, total abt RM1k spent for this, again, think abt what this RM1k can do for Vista facility? repair leaking water tank, or replace capacitor band at switch room, or beautify the foyer with new light & paint, or replace the missing lift digital display at blk k? This will benefits those ppl who find fault with the guard too...
another on-going trouble which also effected much our plan for Vista Condo upgrading, some aggressive defaulters who hassle office staffs, guards & JMB members through phone call or even do it face to face, we have few staffs & guards refused to come back to work here coz of that, worst still, it happened to JMB members too, few have left, but few of us choose to remain in the JMB do struggle with this problem even until this day, it really discouraged us much especially when we consider we are scolded for trying to improve this place w/o taking any salary, & JMB members have spent a lot of money from their own pocket for the phone charges in 2009 & 2010 for Vista matters, only in 2011 when finance improved we dare to claim RM200 per month to be shared by same members as phone allowance...
(need to understand that vendors at their best only can help to maintain the facility at the current standard, for the improvement still much rely on residents, especially those who serve in the JMB...)
and again i must say, still most of the Vista Condo residents r cooperative & understanding type, this is the reason the JMB can continue to serve at our level best, & we do really hope more residents will come forward to join the committee & work together to make Vista the better place for living....

some reports on the break-in case @ blk K
on 11/5/11, thief broke into 2 unit at at blk k, (9th flr & 13th flr), then on 13/5/11, an unit at 20th flr also suffer the same fate.
robber took some cash, didn't bring away much item, victims had lodged police report.
these all happened under broad day light, he strike during the time most of the residents are not around.
we interviewed the cleaners, they do see some suspicious person hung around, ask why didn't alert the guards, oh...., looks like our own resident. (i must say here, this still a perception, we will leave to the police to investigate)
abt a month ago, few residents from blk j also complaint some of the item in the corridor went missing, 1 police report lodged during then.
we did check cctv after received report from blk j, found a person who is not blk j resident went up to upper floors in few occasion, when he left, carried few things in his hands, for this we have informed police. (now sending the footage to them for further investigation)
now we r checking the cctv recording on the blk k cases, again, see a person (looks like the person who went to blk j) went near to the flr which robbery happen, on the day crime committed.
so now, we are compiling these information, hope it will be helpful for the police to nab the culprit.
these all we can share as police r doing the investigation, some residents keep asking us who's d 1 in the video clip, sorry we can't reveal much now...
hopefully we will have good news from police dept soon.

Vista Condo upgrading in progress
this month we r doing the office renovation, budget in between 5k to 6k, the office will be extended inward (toward the direction of tennis court) & also to connect the main entrance wall, we plan to create a waiting area outside the office by having some chair attached to the new office wall under the big tree, hope this will bless the parents & children waiting for school van or baby sitter.
actually we plan to do one project a month as our finance at the moment quite ok (special thanks for all the good paymaster!), average budget should be 5k per month. This is part of effort to make Vista Condo a real condominium by 2013. Some of the things going to happen in the coming months will be foyer painting, swimming pool beautification, parking lot line drawing, vista gym room, cctv at every floor (need EGM to consent), etc.
abt the painting of blk J & K, water tank lining replacement & lift modernization, will need the sinking funk to be transferred to vista management account, abt 380K to 400K, we are still in the process of forming management corporation (MC), only by having MC then we can request developer to transfer the money, still long way to go, let's pray that God will help us in this area.
also want to clarify that we still giving priority to those maintenance needs, by budgeting 5k per month for upgrading should not sacrifice the maintenance matters, so we will take immediate action for problem like pipe leaking, electrical power interruption, lift break down, etc. at the moment to budget 5k for upgrading & 1K for maintenance still affordable.
we expect some sizable amount of repayment will come in next month as the lawyer is preparing the legal notice now, she should send the notice this coming week to those having outstanding SC/Insurance/QR plus interest RM800 & above.
future looks bright for Vista, provided that everybody doing their part, & we are on the right track for that.
