hi, few updates for our beloved Vista residents,
1) concerning the new water tanks, we have discussed abt this in the MC meeting & decided to visit the chosen vendor's facility first before we give him the ultimate go ahead for this project. the purpose of this visit is to make sure that the company is truly capable of handling this big project, and at the same time to discuss with him in detail abt the plan & schedule of installing the new tanks, the visitation will take place next week, we don't foresee any big issue here, furthermore they are kind enough to let us trade in our old tanks with some good value, which will be a great help for us to deposit into the gov't account for the 20% of total cost as per requirement.
2) last night, the blk k residents hit by water shortage problem, we have first received the complaint at abt 9pm, then few MC members rushed to the pump room to check the pumps, found that the 2 pumps & their control circuit were functioning, but ground floor water tank got less than half tank of water. then we went quickly go to the roof top to check, all the tanks were almost empty. we concluded that the inflow water of the ground water tank is too slow, causing the pump didn't manage to send enough water to the roof top tanks for blk k residents to use, so we quickly called the swimming pool vendor to get his contact to help, they both came at abt 11pm, did the checking, found out a rubber at the ground floor tank inflow area was out of position, it blocked the water & causing the mentioned problem. then the vendor adjusted the rubber into the position it suppose to be, so immediately inflow water back to normal pressure level, hence problem rectified. the vendor will come back again in a day or two, to replace the rubber if it's needed.
3) we have engaged a new electrician & his company to do general maintenance & repair for Vista electrical facility, this is due to the new company is with all the proper registration with the relevant authority, and manpower is sufficient for serving the facility. but anyhow we also want to thank the former electrician for helping us all these while, especially during the few big crisis in past 2 years, where he really show some good commitment for the job, but too bad as his business grows, he also found it hard to attend to our requests, so as he also voiced out to us his desire to focus more on his other business, so we thought it's a right time to replace him, then with the management lady recommendation, we have interviewed the new vendor & decided to use him, trust that the new electrician will provide good service.
thanks.

new water tanks in sight :)
lastly, lastly, lastly, we have got the letter from Jabatan Kewangan Negeri to confirm on the water tanks!
on THURSDAY we have received a phone call from the department, ask us if we want them to send the letter to us or we will drop by Komtar to collect from them (as earlier on we have told them to call us once the letter is ready), without second thought we asked them to keep the letter for us & we will go there on the same day to take from them, so after the long wait, we have seen the letter on that day!
in fact the deal is much better than what we first expected, we must thank God for His help, also thank the state gov't for their generosity...., the proposal they have picked for us is for 10 new water tanks, fiber glass type, total cost is RM405K, wow!!!!
out of this 405K, 80% or RM324K will borne by state govt, whereas 20% or 81K will need to be paid thru management fund, for this is the arrangement for low medium cost apartment (LMC) project funded by state gov't, it's got be based on 80% / 20% arrangement.
(we are fortunate enough to be considered as LMC apartment, as the first selling price by the developer those days was RM80K, which qualifies us to be LMC, many apartments in the neighborhood can't be considered as LMC, which make it very very very difficult to get the state gov't to fund projects like us,we also want to thank God for this LMC status. yeah must thank YB Yeoh Soon Hin too, because he also helped to send a letter to the kewangan to confirm Vista Condo is a LMC project)
concerning the 20% or 81K which to be borne by Vista Condo, we have talked to the contractor who is chosen to handle this project, he is willing to let us trade in our existing 10 water tanks (blk j roof top 4x, blk k roof top 4x, blk j pump room 1x, blk k pump 1x) to him with the price very close to RM80K, and the best is that he will try as much as possible to pay us in advance some big portion of the money so that we are able to get the bank to issue banker cheq for 81K, because by procedure we need to deposit this 20% into the state treasury for them to issue the work order to the contractor, but all these proposal must be approved by the MC in this coming meeting, haha...! hope that no one will object this :P
so....., even now we are still very happily digesting this piece of great news, and thank God for His favor upon Vista Condo....

alamak!!! no letter yet :(
waiting is torturing, as we always said.
we have been pulling our neck & hope for the official letter concerning the water tank replacement for one whole week already, but still see no sight of it :(
almost everyday we check with the office to see if postman drop to them any letter from state gov't, every time got disappointed, for we are waiting eagerly for the letter so that we can talk to the chosen vendor for them to get ready for the project, and hope to see it start as early as February, but....
perhaps we are just a bit impatient, so such letter needs some signature from those high ranking officers, like YB or EXCO member, common sense tells us it will definitely take awhile to get them to sign, so to expect the letter to arrive in the past one week maybe is too optimistic.
yesterday contacted the EXCO office, the reply is we should receive it on this Friday, if not then the following week will get it, it gives us an impression that the letter has been sent out but hasn't reach us yet, as we didn't get the letter yesterday (Friday), we hope that on Monday or Tuesday we will see the letter, then we should inform our residents so that all of us can rejoice together :)
waiting....waiting...waiting...real torturing.... :P

good news for water tanks is near?
now we are a bit anxious, and impatient too, after we heard some reply from the EXCO office :)
but it's good problem if these considered as problem :P
few days ago when we checked with the EXCO office concerning our request on the new water tanks, to be more exact, 8 new water tanks for Vista Condo, to replace the existing water tanks which located at the roof top of blk J & K, total cost for the project is more than RM350K, and their reply really get us unsettled.
they said YES, our request is approved & pls wait for the official letter!!! Wow, thank God for His blessing for Vista Condo!
but waiting is torturing...., how we wish we can get the letter now and share the good news immediately with our beloved residents by putting it at the notice board, for indeed this is the biggest allocation of fund we have received all these years!
we understand that many residents are hoping the building to be painted soon, but in committee we know well that unless the water tanks are in good condition, or else the water leaked from the water tank will soon damage the new paint at the building wall, and it's not the best option to paint the building without having the new water tank. So now as we receive news abt the new water tanks approval, we just want to thank God for this arrangement.
we have looked at our account, talked to various vendor & even some residents concerning the 20% of the cost which we need to absorb, and we are in the good position to pass this money to govt for them to issue the work order to the chosen vendor to start the work, and we hope that state treasury will soon forward us the letter concerning this project so that we can trigger the process to bring the new water tanks for our Vista Condo.
waiting....waiting...waiting...

year 2014 review, highlights
year 2014 just concluded, as we look back, it was a year which we got more reason to be happy than despair :)
no doubt there were sad incidents which have caused same anxieties, like blk J lift rope problem which came so suddenly, and for more than 3 weeks the lift was out of order until the new rope was installed & get it run again, so as we learn from this experience & in the future we got make sure all rope will be checked on the more regular basis.
another unfortunate incident was a blk k water pump problem, was somewhere at September, we can recall that that eventful evening when we received calls from blk k residents abt no power supply, we went to rooftop to check all the water tank, and to our shocking that all the water tank were empty, then we quickly reset the pump & let it run manually until all the tank were filled, then vendor was called immediately to attend to the problem, and the faulty component was replaced, so the problem was rectified.
of course there were some good news to celebrate too, in year2014...
the most significant one not other than the blk k lifts upgrading completion, it was finally done in first quarter of the year, it was the long process, started in year2013 and dragged until last year, we thank blk k residents for their patience, and pray & hope that with this upgrading the both lifts at blk k will serve our residents well.
another highlight of year2014 is the residents gathering, where the recorded number of 230 residents have signed up but actual number of peoples who attended this function is higher than that. It was a biggest gathering in Vista Condo, furthermore we have 2 VIP graced this occasion, YB Jagdeep Singh & YB Yeoh Soon Hin.
In year2014 we also held the AGM and more importantly we have a group of new committee joining the existing ones to serve our Vista Condo residents, the new committee indeed have brought new strength to the MC and with their contribution, we know that the Vista Condo future looks even brighter :)
last but not the least, 2 projects completed in year2014 which have help us to save cost & generate revenue, the T5 light tube which completed beginning of the year have helped us to save at least RM1200 per month on the electricity, with the return of investment in just 6 months' time. Another one is new rental parking lot, for it generates RM300 per month as 6 lot have been created & rent to residents.
here we also want to thank our beloved residents' support & cooperation in every area, particularly paying the service charge promptly & observing the house rules, in fact if without residents' support, there won't be any successful story to be told, so, really thank you so much!
