on Thursday afternoon, there was a fogging in Vista Condo, in our conversation with the officer who came here to oversee the fogging, few things mentioned by him catch our attention & prompted us to take immediate action.
we were told in blk k alone, there were 4 cases of dengue fever in the month of Dec 2015 & Jan 2016, thing like this has never happened in such high frequency, no doubt in the past on & off we have heard dengue fever case in Vista Condo, but it's abt 1 case in few month's time, this really shocked us & we feel that what we have done so far like putting larvae chemical once in every few weeks may not be enough.
according to the same officer, they have found some larvae in the flower pot base in blk J 2nd floor common area, we immediately alerted the owner of the plant, told her to remove them on the spot, well, the fine issued by the jabatan kesihatan will be hers, & we also ask the staff to check all the common area to make sure there's no other residents keeping flower pot or container which can be a breeding place for larvae.
the officer told even more scarier thing, in January there were few lives be taken away due to dengue fever..., the El Nino effect has helped larvae to grow in the faster pace, now even found out this mosquitoes can carry another dangerous virus (Zika) which caused great panic in some of the western countries like Brazil, as you may read that how the virus affect the pregnant ladies, where it cause the new born babies got the smaller head :(
after some discussion with residents & getting their feedback/suggestion, we will instruct & make sure office staff will do this, we will purchase big quantity of coarse salt (sea salt), leave it in the office, every beginning of the month the office staff & cleaner will put this salt into all the semicircle at the staircase, we will do this in the monthly basis as it's effect can last for a month's time.
we also want urge our residents not to keep any water unused container or pot, and if find any of this then pls help to make sure there's no water inside, and as for the semicircle, even though the office staff will continue to put the chemical & coarse salt, we also need your help to check once awhile, if you find sight of larvae pls contact office immediately.
let's work together to get rid of larvae in Vista Condo. Thanks.

next big project
So after the completion of the water tank project, what next?
We would not give ourselves to much time to rest, but rather compete with time for another big project, to change all the main water pipe which connect from the roof top water tanks to every Vista Condo units, there are total 16 main water pipes, 8 at each block, if you are not sure which one we are talking abt, then you just need to step out from your main door, check the PBA meter, next to the PBA meter is the 4” water pipe, this is the main water pipe we are referring to.
We would like to ask all of our residents’ help to introduce to us some expert who are specialize in this field, ie installation of new main water pipes, we like to consult them of how to go abt this project, what kind of material, what is the length of time the project will take, and get at least 3 proposals to forward to state gov’t for them to consider & hopefully can get their approval too, under the arrangement of 80% - 20%, where the state gov’t will contribute 80% of the total cost, and we will get our new sinking fund to pay another 20%.
From our experience, this kind of application will take at least 6 months for the state gov’t to approve, so if we management to submit it in February, then the earliest time we can get some good news will be likely after August 2016, this is also depend on if the state gov’t willing to consider our appeal….let’s pray for God’s grace again.
So, if you can recommend someone for this project, pls contact us through phone or email us, thanks.
Best regards.

hooray! water tank project is completed :)
on Friday we were been told by the vendor that the whole project of the new water tanks is completed, total 10 water tanks, 5 each block :)
well, would like to do some recap, how this project was initiated, more than 1 year ago...
the very first time we approached the state gov't for this water tank was on 21/11/2014, when we wrote the letter to the EXCO to appeal for fund for new water tank lining, pls note that it was not even for new water tank for just the lining, so we really thank God for His grace when later on we got more than what we have bargained for, the 10 new water tanks!!!
on 04/12/15, few weeks before Christmas, few MC members attended the meeting called by state gov't, together with MC & JMB from other apartment for all the requests on the gov't fund, during the meeting we were told not replace the water tank lining, but change to the brand new water tanks, so we have to get some new fresh new quotation for the EXCO to view & consider, which we did abt 2 weeks later where the quotations handover to the EXCO office.
after the anxious long wait & follow up, lastly we saw the approval letter on 22/01/2015, stated clearly that the state will sponsor 80% of the total cost RM405K for Vista Condo to have the 10 new water tanks, but it also posted a great challenge for us, we need to pay upfront 20% (or RM81K) for the state gov't to issue work order for the vendor to proceed with the work....where to get the money?
after much negotiation with the vendor, lastly in August 2015 the company willing to let us trade in the old water tank with RM45K, and also provide the interest free loan 15K, which means we still need to pay 21K from our account....it took us more than half a year for the job of negotiation & accumulate the 21K mainly due to some major projects in between, especially the bomba pipe replacement in June....
so lastly we manege to proceed the 20% to state govt in the month of September & get the work order at the end of September 2015, and the vendor started to order the part & material in Oct 2015, and the installation work started in November 2015.
it took them 2 months+ to complete the whole project, we really thank God for the good weather, as initially we were told it may take up to 3 - 6 months depending on the weather condition, well now the project is completed, we are truly & indeed very very grateful :):)
thanks.

some recent repair works
Hi, would like to inform our residents of some recent repair works in Vista Condo, some have already completed, some are still on going….
Blk k car park area concealed pipe burst, we have received this complaint for a while already, and contacted few vendors to have a look on the problem, but unfortunately all of them have quoted us with the kind of price which we can’t afford at the moment, most of them suggested need to use some high tech machine to check where is the actual location of the burst then only can replace the pipes, we felt that the solution will cost us too much money, but thank God as last week our own resident resident Ah Poh (plumber) who is also one of our committee member decided to sponsor the new pipe & get his worker change the pipe, all we need to spend is to pay his worker few hundred for that few days hard work, we are really thankful for resident like him :0
Blk K water pump panel, recently the water pump control panel at blk k has given us some headache, for few days out of the blue it jz tripped by itself & then the auto mode can’t function anymore, which means even though the roof top water already empty but the pump won’t be able to detect it, so the pump didn’t send the water up to the roof top tank, as the result the blk k residents suffer water supply interruption, so in view of this old control panel already reach end of it’s life span, we decided to replace it with the new control panel for blk K, cost is abt 7K but we can claim from insurance, according to the vendor, the new panel will arrive on the coming Wednesday, so at the moment the vendor need to ON the pump manually every to make sure water supply won’t be interrupted for blk k.
Thanks.
