another flat 88?

a committee member reported that just in last week, another group of foreigner factory workers moved into Vista Condo, by the size of the group, he estimated maybe another 2 units in Vista Condo have turned into factory hostel :(

according to the unofficial statistic we have, there's abt 10 units now foreigners hostel in Vista Condo, our concern is it may increase if we don't stop the trend now, especially our location & rental are very ideal for factory worker to stay here, distance to their work place is short, even to amenities also convenient, like queensbay, BJ complex, metropolitan park, air port, market, makan place & pasar malam...etc.

few days ago chit chatting with the Chinese day guard, he stays in the apartment behind the Relau Public bank, the white color one, he said now in his place, most of the unit have turned into factory hostels, just like another flat 88 near our place, as all of know that, flat 88 and it's around apartments are full of foreigner factory workers & their hostels, one reason why their property value are much lower than other apartments, and needless to say, safety is another issue.

Vista Condo need to do something now before it's too late, we would like to invite as many residents as possible to come for the EGM this coming wednesday (18/3/13) 8pm to discuss how to tackle this problem, at the moment some idea in our mind includes to install T&G system in the lifts but not giving the card to the foreigner hostels, also to increase service charge on those units which become foreigner hostels, to sign petition and send to the hostel landlord to urge them stop renting their unit to the factory, to report to the government on these cases because Vista Condo as LMC (low medium cost) apartment should not rent it out as foreigner hostel.

so, if you are reading this, pls do come for the EGM, and bring your neighbors too, hopefully together we will find a good solution to overcome this challenge.

thanks.
