repainting of blk J & K this year, is it possible?

while we are still waiting for the blk k lifts to be upgraded, which the state gov't will absorbed 80% of the cost involved, we are also impatiently looking into the options of repainting of blk J and blk K.

our target time is this year, well, it's a mission "almost" impossible :)

but as has been said earlier, we are a bit impatient...., so let's give it a try and perhaps by God's help again, we can see something happen.

sinking fund will not be the sure bet, but hopefully we don't need to wait long, anyhow we can't rely on it if we seriously want to paint the building this year.

another option is get a kind vendor (will need to get residents help to recommend if you know of any) who willing to let us to have VERY LONG repayment term, if go by RM4000 or RM5000 per month & total cost is RM350K, then will take abt 6 to 8 years, which is something achievable for us, anyone can recommend?

but the more pratical option, which we have started to work on it, ie to write to state gov't for help again, either 80%/20% or best they pay all, early this week we have snapped some photos of our building, especially those areas where the paint faded badly, put together with email & sent it to the new EXCO member who in charge of housing matters YB Jagdeep Singh Deo, now still waiting for his reply for meeting with him to discuss further.

but while waiting for EXCO's reply, we also have talked to a blk j resident (she holds high post in state secretary dept), for which we hope she will help us to arrange a meeting with EXCO soon, in fact she is one of the residents who has pushed us much for the building repainting, so now she got to do her part as well.... ;)

last night got another good news, it seems some blk k residents also friend of the new EXCO, still remember last year YB Karpal Singh visited a Hindu temple function in Vista? our blk k residents who organized the function know both YB Karpal Singh & YB Jagdeep Singh quite well (they are father & son, just for info), so we also get help from this blk k resident to talk to new EXCO member for our building repainting.

we welcome residents to share with us if got other suggestions, early on someone said can recommend a paint vendor to paint both blocks free for us, but must put their brand or logo to help them for advertising purpose, but already quite a while still no further news from him....

thanks.
