few of us managed to meet up with EXCO for housing matters, YB Jagdeep Singh on Wednesday, at his office at Komtar 53rd floor, mainly for building repainting.
well, didn't see much breakthrough as he insisted that the state government only will help those "government-built apartments" to repaint their building, as for Vista Condo, this financial aid will not be available as we are "private apartment" :(
and, instead, he ask us to write to "HAPPY" program, under this program, successful applicant will get federal gov't to pay 80% of the repainting cost, another 20% will be absorbed by state gov't, and so far out of nearby 100 applications from Penang for past few years, only one application be approved, but anyhow we will try.
so now we would not push hard for state gov't to help for repainting unless if any resident got very strong connection with them & strong reason to do it, but now the other 2 option will be sinking fund & long repayment.
we did mention to YB abt our sinking fund, as now we have managed to obtain the court order for developer to pay but they managed to find loophole not to pay us, YB willing to help on the matter, asking us to arrange the appointment for him to meet up with our lawyer, to our pleasant surprise actually they both worked under the same company before, know each other quite well, so now we try to fix the appointment for them to discuss on our court case, hopefully get recover our money soon.
so if there's any nice thing happened during our meeting on the Wednesday, it was not so much much on repainting, but perhaps through his help, our sinking fund will be recovered soon :)
