no, we r not tree hater

residents generally responded well abt removing those rotten trees.

looking at those trees, chopped, lay on the grass, we too, feel sad. if hv choice, we would not do that.

but at another hand, relieve too, especially consider the branches will fall at any time, it's too much for us to answer if it hit at any1 passing by.

not just rotten trunks or branches, but the roots seem may hv caused damage to our swimming pool (i hope not yet...), i never imagine their roots can extend that far.

few trees just next to the pool, the roots grow pass the fence, pass the children playground, then hit the cement at the drain, go & check, u will see some crack there.

this crack is at the surface, our worry now, how abt underneath? if the roots can crack the cement at the drain, can it also crack the swimming pool wall?

i really hope it's not too late as we r removing them now.

rotten trees at swimming pool

hv no choice but got to chop down those trees, the rotten ones.

only found out recently that, termites hv conquered our swimming pool too, they built their house at the trunks, branches, roots, no wonder there's always incidents of falling branches, thank goodness no body injured by that so far.

at first we only be troubled by the fallen leaves, which hv block the filter of the pool & caused problem of overflowing, waste our water, there was suggestion to chop the tree but AGM decided to chop branches, not tree.

but now, trees need to be chopped, for public safety, time is running out, those seemingly strong trunk & branches are actually will fall or collapse as inside them just hollow!

notice being put up to inform residents abt the plan, we will wait for 1 week for residents to feedback their view, or like to hv a look by themselves, in fact they should see how bad the condition.

repairing the broken ship, make it new again!

like it or not, we r inheriting the broken ship from the previous management, what we r trying to do now is to patch all the holes b4 the ship sunk.

past 2 months, holes been patched are water tanks, piping problem, the broken fencing, car park lot, generator, swimming pool, circuit board at switch room, etc...

we know that we got no time to complain, got no time to blame the previous management, got no time to tell resident how bad the condition, but we are competing with time to fix as many holes as we can.

we try to put thing to proper order, so we start with car park system, we got to make sure all resident will have their own parking lot, so there's no dispute over that area.

we try to convince residents to pay their service charge promptly so that we wil have enough fund to repair this broken ship, in the past they refuse to pay coz of car park & poor service quality, so we try to solve these problems so that they wil feel they $$$ is well spent, as we can see now the paying rate is slowly increase.

we are repairing the broken ship, and if God willing, after all the holes been patched, with extra effort from residents, we will make it in good condition like when it was newly built..., let's work together, to make Vista a better place for living!

car parking problem & solution

vista residents will hv opportunity to solve the car parking problem once & for all....but, are we too optimistic?

let's 1st talk our current problem, many residents park more than 2 cars in the compound, this cause shortage of the parking lot, then, those who are without parking lot refused to pay service charge (SC), then, due to shortage of fund, we only can employ 2nd class vendor to maintain our facilities, then, more residents don't pay SC coz they see the service is bad, then....u see the chain-reaction?

well, now the car parking sticker is suggested & passed in AGM, 1 parcel 1 sticker, which means only 1 car/parcel be allowed, this is good to make sure all the residents will hv their parking lot, also this will make sure residents to pay SC as the condition to issue the sticker is depend on their payment status.

idea is ideal, but implementation....? definitely tough! some1 told me better to hire few body guard to protect the security guard, worry that some residents will beat up the guard when refused the entry; also some say to place the CCTV to check if the guard will be bribed to let car without sticker to enter; also some say committee member will need to watch out their safety as these residents are angry.....

it takes all parties' cooperation to make this plan success! we hv told security guard not to quarrel with residents but just to stay firm, worst case they will need to call policemen. abt the bribe, we hv get the security company to agree with us that once we find a car without sticker in our compound, then deduction of RM20 will applied on the monthly fee, so if we find 10 cars, then deduction will be RM200! then abt the committee's safety, we only can look to God for protection.

i'm personally quite confident with the plan, simply bcoz i hv seen majority of residents do like to see the problem of car park, SC, facilities, etc to be solved, & they are agreeable to the plan, & at the moment we r sharing the vision to as many residents as we can, hope that they can see the points too.

tough, but exciting task, huh?
