2011 Accounts Update

As the year is coming to a close we are preparing for the annual Report which includes the independently audited accounts for 2011.

It has been some months since the last figures were published during the AGM and we would like to take the opportunity to share the current unaudited Cashflow, Balance Sheet and Income & Expenditure report.

Please note these figures are unaudited and maybe subject to corrections by the SPM Accounts Team if required.

At this present time the developer (Setapak Heights) has missed several deadlines and a subsequently the full accounts and building handover to the JMB has yet to take place. This is unacceptable and the COB has been been kept informed whilst the JMC evaluate their options.

Questions/clarifications can only be emailed to the JMC and you must state your name & unit number before any reply will be given

Update - Repair of Car Park Leaks

Further to the recent post of the rectification of the car park leaks we have been advised by subcontractor of the developer that owing to them being unable to complete their repair work last week, they will continue this week and into next week.

This will happen on Friday 30/12/2011, Saturday 31/12/2011 and Monday 2/1/2012. The time will be 9am to 5pm.

The spaces impacted remain the same as before

Access Card System Issue Update

We would like to update everybody on the current situation with the access card system.

Over the past 6-8 months we have experienced several faults with the system. Troubleshooting has been very difficult since no installation plan/wiring diagram was handed over from the developer. Despite several requests SHD have not co-operated in providing the necessary information to the Management Office.

We have engaged several companies to rectify the problems as they happen but the same problem keeps repeating which suggest something is wrong with the system itself.

Quite recently we purchased a stock of new access cards for residents with damaged/lost cards. However, after formatting and keying the new cards into the system it was found that they didn’t work in many parts of the condominium.

Over the past few weeks we have engaged P&A Concept to analyse and troubleshoot the system. So far we've found a missing controller box and some faulty components which is supposedly the root cause of the new cards not working.

The JMC has authorised the purchase of the required parts and currently we're waiting for the parts to arrive. In the meantime, we ask for your continued patience.

For residents with lost or damaged cards, please contact the management ASAP to get your replacement cards
