this morning all vista residents get a shock to see the out-going barrier together with in-barrier control system in total wreck! for those still don't know the cause, the T&G system barrier was hit by a vehicle driven by a resident this morning, it was an accident but since damage has been caused so we still will pursue for the compensation either by insurance or the resident.
everything had been captured by the CCTV, we have contacted the insurance company, the insurance adjuster was sent in to access the damage, now we were advised by them to install (can't be repaired already) the new system & then claim from the insurance company, for which they will normally claim from the party who responsible for this incident.
so now we were pondering on the available options, most likely will go for the system which will provide more convenient to our residents, quite possible in the future our residents no need to wind down the window to scan their cards, but not finalised yet as we are studying the technical detail..., another reason we go for new system is due to the current model is likely obsolete...
also like to update our residents that we are installing the lift alarm indicator at the guard house, so in the future if anyone trapped in the lift & press the lift alarm, the signal will be sent to guard house, it will trigger the buzzer in the guard house to alert the guard on duty, also there will be indicator light to show the guard which lift is having problem...., well, this is part of effort to upgrade our facility as our finance is getting better..., remember our mission? to make vista a better place for living.
thanks.

our wish list....
to run the management in vista condo will be full of happiness & fun if the following matters can happen according to MC's wish...
1) blk k's 2 lifts are always bother us much, especially in the past few months, so it automatically top our wish list to see these 2 lifts to run smoothly without breakdown, at the moment our greatest concern is after the rotor has been fixed into system, how long can it last, of course if it's condition is good, then we should not see it crack again anytime soon.
2) sinking fund, still can't see the end of the tunnel, especially as now "certain party" is under liquidation, it make the tunnel even more unpredictable, little bit update for our residents here, we have forwarded the court order to the receiver/liquidator, but we also pursue the legal action to get back the money, let's continue to pray & hope for the best.
3) collection rate to be consistently hit 85%, at the moment the collection rate still swinging in between 75% to 85%, actually it consider a good one already compare to most of the apartments in Bayan Lepas, Paya Terubong , Farlim & Air Itam area, according to our survey, most of them only hitting 60% to 70%, the worst one are just manage to collect 30%, but as our aim is to improve vista condo (not just to maintain) so 85% is a MUST to be achieved.
4) residents to be more understanding, the recent lift incident in blk k make us feel very encouraged as we see most of the residents did understand the situation, but as we received many positive words of encouragement, we also saddened by few residents' unkind action & words, as for now we really wish them to attend the AGM to accept the challenge to take over the baton, so they too will understand the pressure we bear each day for the vista condo matters, but maybe our plan can't be materialized because we just found out almost all of them haven't collect their strata title, which make them unqualified to vote & to nominate, hopefully they can quickly collect their strata title.
5) vendors will up 1 more gear in their performance & commitment, no doubt we are blessed by many good vendors, especially the lifts vendor & electrician, we also full OK with the guards & cleaners, & at the moment still observing the management staffs performance, but honestly speaking, overall performance still quite far from the condominium standard, but then again, unless our collection can shoot up drastically, or else we need to be happy with the current standard.
6) more allocation of fund from government, at the moment we are still negotiating with state government for the money to upgrade the control system of all of our lifts, abt RM200K (government pay 80%, management fund 20%), it's also a long term project, still remember the RM15K for the entrance took us abt 9 months, so for this RM160k.......
still many other items in our wish list, but if half of the mentioned items can be materialised, then every night we will sleep with the big smile in our face :)
thanks.

pls quickly collect your strata title!
hi, some urgent message for u, pls pass to ur neighbor too...
especially if u haven't collect ur strata title, pls do it as soon as u can, pls also check with neighbors for the same thing, do kindly ask them to act quick, get the lawyer to contact developer's office for the strata title, before it's too late.
reason? look, not much thing we should reveal here as we are still engage the developer in the court case for our sinking fund, discuss too much things here may face the risk of contempt of court, all we can say now is we have received info that certain party is either "entering" or have "entered" liquidation, sorry again can't reveal their identity here (before we see for ourselves the related document) for the above mentioned reason, but to avoid future complication for residents especially those who plan to sell their house, it's best to get your strata title now.
in the past we do urged residents to collect their strata title so as enough unit collected strata title then MC can be formed to request back our sinking fund, but as for this time we urge residents to collect strata title is for their own benefits.
u should talk to ur S&P lawyer to do it, but if u can't get them to help then can contact the lawyer we used frequently Ms Chua at 0124313605, just mention to her u are from Vista Condo, recommended by MC, then she should quote u with very reasonable fee & others, the whole thing will take abt 3 to 6 months, depending on the availability of the necessary documents.
we would like to touch little bit on sinking fund here, court proceeding still an on going thing, but as certain party is either "entering" or "entered" (still need to do further investigation) now the battle seems going to drag for awhile, but for us in MC, we will not give up until we see the money has returned back to it's rightful owner ----> vista condo residents!
thanks.

new management company
sorry, this week's posting a bit late, past few days have been very busy to get few things done urgently, well this actually part of the committee's life, need to juggle few things at the same time, career, family life, personal commitment, MC responsibilities, so pls bear with us if there's lacking in the quality & pace, some time :)
as most of the residents notice that there's new company now taking care of our management, would like to invite our residents to send us your opinion, ideas, suggestion to make the new company to serve you better, of course also need to be practical & realistic one, like don't expect them to standby until 11pm just for the collection...
things can be suggested like more flexible working hour for collection, complaint to be attended & feedback to resident in X number of days or hours, office facebook(?) for easier communication, account format, renovation & moving in/out procedure, vista bulletin in hard copy, etc....
it's always our desire to make vista a better place for living, but without residents participation it is definitely not going to happen, we believe when vista condo have more residents willing to do their part as far as obligation is concern, then the faster the vista will be a real condo, as for MC, our job is to draft big direction & to plan the steps for vista residents to achieve the goal, but we said earlier, without residents' active participation, it won't happen...
how many percent residents should involved, the more the better....

General Updates....
matters to update our beloved residents,
1) change of management company, with effective July 1st, the new management company, Dynasty Management Services will take over the job as managing agent in Vista Condo, we want to thank the previous company's help & contribution during their 3 years in our office, especially when we just formed JMB in yr2009, they were the one who helped us a lot in many area, the reason we change the managing agent is to get some fresh ideas of how to further improve the things in Vista Condo, guys, we want to stress that overall speaking we still feel quite positive abt the previous company, so pls refrain from writing negative comments on them.
2) block k lift, finally the rotor of lift #2 is restored back to it's supposedly condition & sent back to the rotor room, after the long 3 weeks, so now the lift #2 is running as usual, and for us in committee, is a great relieve. we do received a lot of phone calls & sms during that 3 weeks, most of them were unpleasant one, honestly we were quite discouraged. one particular blk K resident even urged us to step down, as we talked among ourselves & pondered on his suggestion, we felt it's time for others to exercise their talent to serve the Vista residents, for this reason (partly), AGM will be held in August or September for residents to chose new MC, we believe that new batch of MC will rise up & bring more blessing to vista folks, we also encourage that person to attend the AGM so to join the new MC, trust he will.
3) sinking fund marathon still ON, long battle, some residents asked us when can we get the money back, none of us can answer that question, some also alerted us if the developer file for bankruptcy then can we still take any money from this empty shell, the answer is the same, none of us can answer that...., but we & our lawyer have done enough home work to conclude that the steps we are taking now is necessary one for us to get back the sinking fund at soonest possible, well, men plan but God decides on the outcome, so let's pray & hope for the best.
4) as our finance are in the better position now, so starting from this month we will have fire fighting vendor to check on our facility on the regular basis, this is indeed a huge step to make Vista a safer place to stay, we are still dreaming of forming a strong ERT in vista, the project didn't take off well after launched few months ago due to poor response from residents, we hope that we will have better idea of how to encourage residents to join ERT, pls feel free to share with us.
5) looks like this year can't organise durian party as the price of durian still high due to poor harvesting, we bought few times for our own eating pleasure & 1 peace (good brand) can easily go RM25, compare to last year can get it with abt RM15, so never mind la..., next year see how.
thanks.
