water tank work order confirmed!

just like to share with our residents that the work order (inden kerja) for our water tank project is already confirmed & signed by YB Yeoh Soon Hin, which means the work order is officially valid & for this the vendor will get a copy, they should be able to proceed with the necessary arrangement with this official document.

we expect they will soon order those part & material from their own supplier, should take abt 2 weeks according to our last discussion with them, which means parts can be arrived in Penang middle of October, with the parts they will immediately dismantle the existing water tank, in the manner that after one old water tank dismantled, they will immediately replace with the new water at the same location, it takes abt 1 weeks to complete one water tank if weather is good, in order to speed up the whole process, they may want to do for both Blk J & K simultaneously if got sufficient manpower from their company.

so, if everything REALLY REALLY goes smoothly then we can expect the whole to be completed by December, so let's pray & hope for the favorable condition for the work, especially the weather, well, just an advance notice, after the project is done, we will organize a thanksgiving party (just like previously done for main entrance shade & blk k lift upgrade) to the state gov't, and at the same time to ask them for other project funding :)

let's pray for God's favor upon Vista Condo.

beware of rabies!

as some of our vista residents may have already know abt the rabies outbreak, or in layman term mad dog disease, which has caused a big concern in the Northern Malaysia, as so far already some confirmed cases in Penang, Perlis & Kedah.

well, as the state gov't decided to get rid of the stray dogs by killing them, and protested by some animal loving NGO, we will leave it to them to argue abt should (or should not) killing the stray dogs in Penang (abt 2.5K of them!), but some suggestion we will like to present to our residents.

do kindly alert the office or guard on duty if you see any stray dogs hanging around in Vista Condo or the road outside our compound, office number is 019-5730637 & guard house number is 017-4290637, also can contact MPPP at 04-2637000, pls don't try to chase the dogs away by yourselves unnecessarily, but rather pls keep yourselves away from them, especially the children, pls do advice your kids on this too.

(in fact this virus can be passed through cats too, so the same suggestion also applied for the stray cats)

for residents who are keeping dogs & cats in their unit, pls do see your VET for advice, heard that rabies vaccine will be (or perhaps is ready) made available in Penang, so for sake of your own safety, do kindly visit the VET for this.

rabies can be deadly if not treated immediately, let's do our bit to prevent it.

thanks.

general updates as at 12/9/15

hi,

few matters to update our beloved residents,

1) water tank, we have passed our 20% (or RM81,000) for the water tank project to state treasury dept, out of this 81K, 45K is the existing water tank trade price, 15K is interest free loan from the vendor, & another 21K from our management account. we expect the state planning dept will issue the work order in one week's time and thereafter the vendor will start the project. estimation of completion is 3 to 6 month depending the condition of the weather.

2) cleaners, the previous cleaning company have resigned from doing the service in our place due to the fine of the mosquitoes larvae issue, the new company have started their service early September, their job scope is at the same as the previous one, at the moment we are monitoring their job quality, residents do help to feedback us your observation.

3) gutter clips, the vendor has finally completed the project of fixing the new clips on those gutters which needed the new clips, we want to thank our residents especially those who willing to give access
to the vendor for fixing the clips, but as we have asked the office staff to monitor all the gutters in Vista Condo, we also encourage our residents to report to the office as soon as possible if detect any problem concerning the drain pipe gutters.

4) AGM, now we are planning to call an AGM as soon as the audit report is completed, should be somewhere October or November, will keep residents updated concerning this.

thanks.

we see the money now!

yesterday the water tank vendor passed to the office a big cheque, amount RM60k, out of that, RM45k is for the existing water tank trade in, and RM15k an interest free loan for the same project :)

we asked the office to delay no more but bank in the cheque immediately, which they did. we expect the floating days of 2 to 3 days then the money should be made available for us on next Wednesday, then we should quickly issue the banker's cheque amounting to RM81k as our portion of 20% to the state gov't so that they will issue the work order to the water tank to start the project, we hope all these can be done next week, or if not then completed the following week.

honestly we have a very mixed feeling now, at one hand we are excited abt Vista Condo going to have the new water tanks, but at the same time also worry if there's any hiccup during the installation process, which is really beyond our control, so we only can keep reminding the vendor to carry out the project properly & consider all the possible situation, and come out with the contingency plans shall something happen.

vendor's estimation is this project will take abt 3 months if everything goes smoothly, the main factor will be the weather, but as long as the rain is not too heavy then the workers can still do the jobs, so we hope that rain does come to chase away the haze but not too heavy until the water tanks can't be installed :):):)

hope for the best, prepare for the worst, we pray & hope that this project will be completed smoothly so that our residents will enjoy much better water quality soon!
