we felt that 2 common facility issues needed to be attended now..1) the water tank at block-K, the leaking is actually quite bad! it have been there easily few month already. there are 4 water tanks supporting block-K currently, the one on top of the 20th floor unit 3&4 is leaking badly, i guess every month we hv wasted more than RM400 for the leakage.plumber will come next week to fix it, wil cost us a couple of thousands...., some residents from block-K upper floor had complained to the management abt the problem since last year, but no action taken. sigh, typical way of them when dealing with complaint.2) we wil make the grassy abandoned ground at the end of block-K to be more feasible as car park, we plan to put some debris or even to cement/tar it, then to draw the proper line so that residents who do not hv parking lot can make use of that. we hv counted, more than 15 cars can be parked there with proper plan.it should be done in april, the cost......depend on what material we are going to use, of course ideal one is to cement, let's check our service charge collection first, hehe :Psince last EGM some residents hv approached JMB with many excellent idea of improving car park, security, office location, facility...we are greatly encouraged! just many of these ideas only can be put into action after new managing agent take over in May'09, simply bcoz men power & proper plan/supervisory are needed. we are also inviting residents to be in the commitee to oversee these plans, do u like to be part of the team to serve the Vista residents? thanks.cheng/JMB
another good deal is on the way, for those who like to settle their old debts, they will enjoy remarkable discount on the interest!we r talking abt if they pay their previous year outstanding fee (maintenance fee, insurance, quit rent, etc) b4 May'09, then 30% discount on the interest will be given, then 25% for those pay b4 June'09, 20% for b4 July'09, 15% b4 Aug'09 & 10% b4 Sept'09.note that discount is on the interest, but not principle value, or else it will not be fair for those who hv been paying promptly all these years.how abt if residents like to settle the old debts but not in the financial position to pay up all in this few months? well, we would like to make it easy for them to pay in installment manner, RM100 per month, we hv checked around & it seems not too burdensome for average income group. (but no discount will be given for this)all they need to do now, just bring the receipt of last paym't, go to the collection booth at the foyer, fill in the repayment form b4 May'09, and start paying according to agreement. what happen if defaulter choose not to pay? they r in the danger of losing the car parking lot, then if they continue to display non-cooperative attitude, they will be served warrant of attachment, it will ended up some of their asset be sold by city council to clear the debt, we hope this would not happen in Vista... cheng/JMB
for this 2 month (March & April), Joint management commitee, or in short form, JMC are working round the clock for the management transition, smooth one, hopefully.we are having board meeting at least once a week, wednesday nite 9.30pm to finalize few things, such as temporary office, new contract for lift, housekeeping, security, pest control & etc, also cracking our mind to find way to improve car parking system & other facility....huge task! u actually can see almost every nite few JMC are gathering at the foyer, not for chit-chating, but discussing over these matters, we r thankful for their zeal & commitment!our hope is like yours, the better future for Vista condo, like our vision slogan, "making vista a better place for living", we believe residents are making a 1st big step towards this by changing the current managing agent, which have long been regarded as inefficient, ineffective & irresponsible! no one can guarantee that the new managing agent will be better one compare to the existing one, but new system will provide Vista residents the better way to monitor their performance, we are planning more dialogue/meeting in between resident & managing agent, also, residents will be given more authority over the matter in Vista.our appeal to you, very soon we will enlarge our committee, pls join us when be approached, or if we don't spot u, feel free to volunteer yourself, after all it take everybody's effort to make Vista a better place for living.Cheng/JMB
abt 80 purchasers turned up in the EGM (59 of them came early & registered, the rest came after meeting started), few major decision were made during the meeting, ya, major one...JMB did expect residents will vote to terminate the managing agent, awan setia, but we did not expect out of the 59 qualified voters, 58 choose to give them a boot! it really show clearly how bad the impression the Vista resident have for awan setia. from the feedback of the residents, the main reason was poor management of residents' fund & maintenance of our facility.residents have warned awan setia some time ago to improve their performance (last EGM in Oct'08), or else will be booted out. we did see some slight improvement in the 1st 2 months, in term of responsiveness & quality of work, unfortunately in the last 2 months, things back to square one, the 2 lift broke down at K-block is the last straw on the camel's back!now we are talking to 3 managing agents for their proposal, most likely we will go with the company which are small one, abt RM5,300 managing fee per month. they will provide 2 workers (1 handy man & 1 clerk) for 9am to 5pm, another person from 5pm to 9pm, mainly for collection of maintenance fee, but also be able to attend to the emergency facility matter.we do hope the new managing agent will perform better than awan setia, as they will be closely monitored by Vista residents, another reason is the communication will be better as the office will be in the Vista compound, resident can drop by any time to see them for various matter. at the same time the JMB also appoaching security, cleaning, fogging, lift & other contractors for the new & better contract, if any1 of u can help us in this area, pls contact us or write to our email, vistajmb@gmail.com, u can even volunteer to be our commitee (carpark, security, miantenance/facility, fund management, community project), trust that ur contribution will bless the Vista residents.let's work together, making Vista the better place for living.....cheng/JMB

We would like to express our utmost thanks for those who hv joined the pary, we hope u hv enjoyed much the food, the fun, the game...but most importantly, we hope u hv established deeper relationship with ur fellow Vista residents, for this is the main purpose of the gathering. Here are some photos for ur viewing pleasure.....
in our last residents' gathering - the Christmas gathering, i managed to make a couple of new friends, some of them i hv never meet or talk in my 9 years life here; i also manage to convert some of "hi, bye!" relationship into deeper level of friendship, now i can engage some meaningful conversation with them whenever we see each other, and this is all the gathering abt: building relationship!relationship is fundamental element of a community; community with good relationship among it's members is good community, like wise, community with bad relationship among it's members is just bad community. now the question is: how do we want our Vista community to be? answer is certainly a good community.one way to measure the success of CNY gathering on this saturday is, how many relationship will be established (or deepen)? our hope is, when u come for the gathering, u will make new friends & have more meaningful relationship with the neighborhood, and of course to enjoy the food and program too!See u all, on the CNY gathering... Cheng/JMB
yesterday i hv a quick check with our security guard, he told me there's no break-in case reported during the CNY holidays. I hope as more residents coming back to their home at Vista, the clean sheet of "no breaking-in" will be maintained, which will reflect the security & safety level of Vista Condo.I deeply believe that one of the most effective weapon to fight crime is the relationship among the peoples. No doubt more patron rounds by the guard, more locks installed, turn ON more light at corridor will definately discouraging robbery, but there's nothing compare to the caring community, where the neighborhood caring enough to watch over each other, take a trouble to check around, to provide help whenever it's needed....Our JMB have been working hard to cultivate the closer relationship among the Vista residents, we are glad to see many friendship were established & deepen in the last gathering - The Christmas Party. Our dream is to see the Vista residents to form "The Community of Love & Care" at this place, & we plan to organize more event to provide platform for residents to spend more time with each other, time is essential for developing relationship.So, this CNY gathering, would u please join the crowd?cheng/JMB
let's make this place, better place for living.
a place where we can really call as home,
place children safe to play, place not to worry about robbery,
place we feel proud to show our friends...
place where residents really care for each other,
love always in the air, not just at festive season,
dispute will still be there, sometime,
but genuine love will cover all offences...
this dream may seem far, but not beyond reach,
effort it needs, just all residents a bit,
let's work together, making Vista a better place for living...
and as for this dream, SURELY WE CAN ACHIEVE!
how long it takes for the management to fix it?
