Challenges ahead (part 1)

one may wonder, what is the life span of the vehicle he/she is owning now, and all of us may know, there's no standard answer, your expensive imported car may only in good condition for abt 10 years if you don't maintain it well, but even the local assembled cars can last for more than 30 years if you do the regular service & necessary repair on time, many cars we see on the roads are actually hitting 35 years, which is much longer than the life span set by the car manufacturers.

well, come back to our Vista Condo, sometimes we do ask ourselves, how many years more this condo can be in the reasonably liveable condition? 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? 40 years?

according to our record, Vista Condo exist since yr 1993, which means it has reached 21 years of its age, younger than those in Rifle Range or Kampong Melayu, same era with Villa Condo, slightly older than Taman Desa 2, and consider as veteran if compare with those newly built & nice looking apartment in this area.

to maintain this apartments & it's facilities posed a big challenge for us in the MC, the building structure should be no problem for another 20 years or more, but the aging facilities are the one needed a lot of finance & effort to maintain/replace/upgrade, and if we do it right then Vista Condo should have many many good years ahead.

3 important facilities will critically define & decide how is the condition of Vista Condo, the lifts, the water tank, the outlook appearance (or the condition of the paint at the common wall), other facilities like car barriers, gutters, car parking lots, lights, etc, are also important but just not as critical as these.

share with our beloved residents in next posting (part 2) for more strategies & plans to prolong Vista Condo's good condition to make it a really liveable apartments for many many more years to come :)

Hi Mr.Cheng & member
Thanks a lot for some latest update but when I going for normal jogging in our vista condo area, i notice that all fencing area still haven't clear the rubbish & haven't kill the grass on the fencing, same goes go new parking lot. Usually who will do these? Cleaner or we hire anybody to do this job. A few times I complaint to committee member about this matter, he told will look on it but until now no action. Even, when you all notice outside of our compound area same too.
My car entry access card was block same days ago, when I approach the management staff, they told me , still system under maintenance. Please explain to me, what kind of system maintenance you all doing? I’m working as company maintenance director, don’t give me bullshit answer. I want my car access card to be open ASAP. I hope Mr.Cheng will help me.
Thanks

hi,

we are equally frustrated when questioned the office staff concerning the access card, it seems the CPU have been down for few weeks but no action taken by them until we found out few days ago :(

have bought the new computer to replace it, now getting T&G barrier vendor to transfer data & do necessary configuration, will be up early next week.

our sincere apologies.

thanks.
