hi, 2 important announcements to make....
1) hooray!!! through God's grace, we have lastly get state government to agree to release fund for our lifts upgrade, the arrangement will be, state gov't will pay 80%, and from our building maintenance fund we will pay 20%, in another words, they will sponsor RM124.8K and we will pay the RM31.2K as the total cost involved is RM156K, it's to upgrade the both lifts of blk k.
The process seems quite fast, but actually we have prayed quite awhile for the matter, even in the past we also have submitted few requests to various depts, this time really thank God, the approval came at the right timing as the 2 blk k lifts really gave way. We actually requested to upgrade 4 lifts, but were adviced to go for 2 lifts first, the reason we do both for blk k (instead of 1 lift each blk) is due to the "master-slave" system the lift, in short, we must upgrade both lift at the same block, but we will use some the parts in blk k lifts (especially still in good condition one) to be spare parts for blk j lifts.
if any setback abt this fund approval, there's we have to deposit into government treasury dept our 20%, or RM31.200 so that the government will release the work order to our contractor, hehe!!! RM31,200 is big money & where to get the money??? normally we only abt 15k to 20K in our bank account, then how ah?
but really thank God, somehow few defaulters do come paid some sizable money & also some extra collection for fire insurance, so we managed to deposit the 31,200 to the treasury dept on Thursday, but this also means we need to delay our payment to the insurance company for the insurance premium, well, the vista condo is blessed by many vendors who are kind enough to charge us cheap, provide reasonable service quality & at the same time allow us to drag payment if it's needed, the insurance company is one them, another reason we thank God for!
2) so now goes to the 2nd announcement, which also related to the first announcement, the person who has helped us on this approval is YB Wong Hon Wai, an EXCO member in the state gov't in charge of the housing matter, who also an ADUN for Air Itam area, we have decided to give him a big THANKS during our residents' party on 13/4/2013.
oh ya, this year we will still have our annual party, 13/4/2013, Saturday, 7.30pm at the foyer, program will be dinner, children's games, lucky draw, charges will be adult RM8 & Kids RM5, FOC for those below 5 yrs old. YB Wong has agreed to be our Guest of Honour, we wish many residents will attend the party & together we will say "THANK YOU YB" to him, for indeed we should be thankful because this is first we managed to get the fund for more than 100K, also not to forget in the past YB Yeoh Soon Hin too help us to build the entrance shade which worth 15K, now we are waiting for YB Yeoh Soon Hin's reply to attend our party, if yes then we will have 2 YBs in our party, this will be another historical moment for Vista Condo.
(just a thought, shall we also extend our invitation to CM :P )
our small request..., pls do come for the annual party, foods are good, lucky draw prizes are attractive, kids will be the one enjoy the most, but another big reason, say thanks to YB Wong so that he will know his kind help is much appreciated by our beloved residents in Vista Condo, will you come?
thanks.

Hi MC,
Finally, the greatest news of all in 2013!
Thanks for the effort in making this a success for Vista Condo. I will definitely join the party not only said Thanks to YB but also ur guy - MC as well.
Great job!!!
I feel so happy for Block K resident with such a great news. I can imagine the frustration and worries the residents have to bear with the lift in the past.
Thank you God, Thank you YB and also our beloved MC for making things possible. You all are the angels of Vista Condo and I m proud to be the resident.
hi,
thanks for all the affirmations.
1) also thanks for planning to come for the party, we really hope many residents will attend to show that vista residents are very appreciative for government's help, actually we are the only one low medium cost apartment in this area has been given a 15K entrance shade & now even blessed with 125k for lift upgrade, we really need to say thanks to them in the very specially way, so to have abt 100 residents to say thanks together should be quite nice :P
2) it's true that blk k residents have struggle much coz of the lifts, but this project will benefits blk j as well, especially those important board from blk k lift can be used as back up unit for blk j lift, many of these control board are very hard to be sourced from the market as it's already obsoleted, but still in our plan to get fund to upgrade the blk j lifts as well, perhaps in another 2 years' time, so we want to strengthen our link with the government for future fund application, this is another reason we hope many residents will come for the party, as they see we are very appreciative, perhaps will be more keen to consider our application next time :)
thanks.
How about the painting issue?
Outside view getting worst
hi,
our plan is to visit the EXCO again after the election (or after lift upgrade completed) to discuss on the building painting, will try to push for the same arrangement, which is 20% by residents, 80% by government, but pls be patient, this kind of things normally will take awhile to see result, our entrance shade took us abt 9 months to get YB to allocate fund, then smaller project like safety mirror opposite our entrance took also 3 months, lift for blk k even more than a year since we first talked to authority...., so perhaps it will again take many months for the appeal of fund for painting to get approved, but even if they agree then we should prepare at least 60K as we are required to deposit 20% as total painting cost is more than 300K, for that we will need residents to help to pay in advance for few month of service charge.
pls refer to next posting for another option, thanks.
regards.
Thanks for the prompt revert!!!I have few things to update..here....recently....noticed, many of the outsider just walk in....without any issues...they just simply come and go without proper checking from our security....and also...those who coming in with cars....just honk and go.....am not sure about our vista practice..is this correct way to enter our beloved vista?? as u all know...many unwanted things happen lately....i don’t know about others...but I have many concern here....I just want things to sorted in first entrance...don’t let unknown person coming in without proper approval....pls...try to control....I know its bit difficult....but plsss try something to prevent before it happen....
hi,
thanks for brought to our attention, we admit that after the Chinese guard started his MC (it may takes few weeks) the first 2 replacement guard seems a bit relax, so now as they sent the 3rd replacement guard, we are monitoring his performance, hopefully he can do the job well.
thanks.
Just a friendly suggestion for the lift upgrade at block K. Please remember to add on a perspex on the lift button panel to protect it so that it can last longer.
Hi Mc,
I notice there is a car registration number. PFR 289 owner guy. I wonder why he is so special the security guard will open the T&G. Gate for him very time he goes out and come in.
Thank you.
