some brief report the mentioned meeting...
on Thursday, 3 MC members went to Komtar 53rd floor, to attend the meeting called by EXCO office, on the various projects (on water tanks & lifts only) presented by some apartments in Penang, the meeting was attended by 3 EXCO members, 4 YBs, COB, UPEN and representatives from abt 8 different flats and apartments, included Vista Condo.
some apartments do have their requests on water tank & lifts be granted financial aids, where some were told to furnish more detail to the gov't for further consideration, also some were told to put on hold.
we took the opportunity to present the our request to replace all the roof top water tank lining, total in 8 number (4 big tank & 4 small tank), we show them the photos of our tanks, together with the quotation/proposal by the contractor, and we tried our best to let them know that our water tank lining are indeed at the end of their life span, and should be replaced as soon as possible.
to our pleasant surprise, after the EXCO member saw the photos we presented to them, the advice is to replace the water tank lining is not the best option, as they also notice that the outer layer of the tank, the metal panels are not in very good condition too. so the EXCO YB was graciously suggesting to us to consider to replace all the tank with new tanks, he even mentioned the fiberglass type.
what he suggested, is really beyond our expectation, because we thought to request for the help (on the 80% cost shouldered by gov't) is something big, but he even thought of something bigger than that! so now we are busy checking around for the quotation of the fiberglass tanks to replace the existing tanks at the roof top, so far few vendors did mention they are able to do this job, but still waiting for their official quotation.
of course, just in case the EXCO agree to extend financial help for all the tank replacement, this will pose another financial challenge to us, as the rough estimation of 8 fiberglass tank is amounting to RM400K, for 20% of the total cost need to be absorbed by Vista Condo, or RM80K in this case :P
but let's not to worry abt this 80K now, we got to try our best to get their approval for this project first, once got the approval then let's find way to raise the fund.
thanks.
