Water leakage above parking spaces

If any owners are still encountering issues with leaks above their parking space then please contact the management office to seek formal approval to park elsewhere whilst repairs take place.

The security company have been instructed to clamp any cars caught abusing visitor parking so its important that anybody impacted by leaks, urgently contacts the management office to prevent their vehicles from being clamped.

Roof tile repairs

The management office team recently purchased a scaffold set to allow our maintenance staff to perform jobs that would would otherwise require an external contractor and subsequently encounter greater cost.

A good example of its use was the recent rectification of a broken roof tile seen hanging precariously on the roof truss at Blk A/B covered walkway. It could have fallen down any moment and injured unsuspecting resident walking below it.  The broken tile was removed a new roof tile.

This was one of the many repair tasks that the staff are working on each and every day.

CCTV Update

We are pleased to announce that following the approval of the resolution to upgrade the CCTV at the recent AGM, the upgrade works have now commenced.

The work will be spread out in phases and progress will be subject to both available finances and priorities relative to issues at the time.

The scope of recent work was as follows:

• Guard house area including entry and exits
• Club house
• Swimming pool
• BBQ / playground areas
• Relocation of the CCTV infrastructure to allow for expansion and greater security.

The next phase is currently being planned and more details will be posted at a later date.

Lift Car Update

The JMC shares the frustrations of concerned and caring residents of VWM on the deplorable condition of the lifts in our condo.

Whilst we view the matter with great concern, it is indeed regretful to note that this condition is inflicted not by external parties but by some residents amongst us. On a number of occasions charges of residents have been caught committing these acts of vandalism right under the nose of the residents themselves, yet not a word of rebuke was uttered to stop the act. This apathy by the parent resident or guardian resident is indeed irresponsible, regretful and shameful.

As a result of this we residents now have to repair these vandalised lifts with our very own money. This money which could otherwise be used for other improvement or beautification works that could enhance the value of VWM. 

In view of the above, the recent AGM the JMB has authorised JMC to undertake lift repair and upgrading works that will also include the installation of CCTVs in the lift cubicles. As the cost is going to be substantial, JMC is currently finalising the scope of works to be done and the time frame to complete the job.

A tender exercise is targeted to be conducted sometime in December this year, and the awarding of a contract sometime late January next year. 

With a total of 27 lifts to be repaired and upgraded, works will be undertaken in stages, that will also take into consideration our financial position. 

As this is going to be costly, JMC calls upon all residents to stop all acts of vandalism and to photograph such acts, if any, and report them to us for our further action.

It is only through our joint and concerted efforts that can ensure us a better living condition. And an environment that we will love to belong and come home to.

NOTICE ON DENGUE CASES AT VILLA WANGSAMAS

Dear Residents,

There have been 2 reported cases of dengue at our condominium, at Tower H and Tower A, which resulted in the authorities declaring Villa Wangsamas as a dengue epidemic zone.

Despite repeated inspections, DBKL has not found any Aedes mosquito breeding grounds on our compound which leads them to believe that the breeding grounds could be inside the individual units.

As the next step, DBKL will be coming to Villa Wangsamas this Saturday 24 November 2012 between 8 am and 12 noon to conduct the following:

1) Briefing session at 9.00 am to promote awareness on dengue and its preventive and corrective measures. Residents are strongly encouraged to attend this briefing. It will be conducted at the Club House compound.

2) Fogging of each residential block from 8.00 am. The solution used is water-based which has been approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and is non hazardous to human beings. Unlike the conventional chemical-based solution, this chemical to be used is colourless, smokeless and almost odourless. We ask all residents to please open all doors and windows to allow the fog into your homes. 

NOTE: Residents with medical conditions e.g. asthma, who may not wish to be around during this time, may do so but please ensure someone is at home to do the required. 

3) Coordinating a "gotong royong" with residents after the briefing to clean up our compound of any possible Aedes mosquito breeding grounds. Residents are strongly encouraged to participate.

We would like to ask all residents to give their full cooperation and participation, in order to make Villa Wangsamas a safer place to live in. Those who require further clarification may approach the Management Office or email the JMC at vwm.jmc@gmail.com.

Thank you,
The JMC

UPDATE ON CLEANING SERVICES DISRUPTION

Dear Residents, We wish to update you on the situation with the cleaning services company (ABI Care).

Recently officials of the Immigration Department conducted a spot check of our condo and found ABI Care to have several workers without proper documentation. These workers were immeditaly removed and ABI Care was given a warning and due notice to rectify the irregularities failing which they will be fined.

To safeguard the best interest of the JMB, we demanded that ABI Care indemnify the JMB should this incident happen again. Unfortunately, ABI Care refused and instead chose to terminate their services at very short notice.


Due to the short notice period given, there was some delay in getting replacements. However, we are pleased to inform that starting today Sakura Services will take over the cleaning services on a short term basis effective 2nd November.

This is to ensure sufficient time to choose and appoint a cleaning contractor on a long term contract.

Owing to the short notice very limited manpower was available on Friday however this will be progressively increased over the coming days.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank you for your patience and continued support whilst the cleaning backlog is resolved.

Thank you,
The Management Office Team & JMC

Proposed Management Office Renovation

The Management Office team has recently requested for funds to renovate the office. The renovations are due to several reasons:

• The current office space is considered to be very cramped, poorly designed and not conducive to an efficient working environment.
• We now have more personnel based at site including Accounts processing.
• The existing CCTV panel/rack needs to be relocated to another location (centralised CCTV area).
• Existing wiring arrangement (power points and equipment cabling) is very messy and poses a hazard.
• There is a need for more seating for residents while waiting to be served

Whilst the JMC support this upgrade in principle, owing to the cost of the work and the imminent AGM we will submit this as a resolution at the AGM so that eligible JMB members can discuss and decide whether to support this proposal.

Based on the existing scope of work (which includes a new and extended frontage, a more open concept office and proper cabling) the cost is expected to be in the region of RM45-50K.


Although this request will be discussed at the next AGM in the meantime the JMC are interested to hear your views on the proposa.

Tower D Lift Vandalism

It’s disappointing to report that 2 lifts in Tower D were vandalised this week. One lift had the floor level digital indicator board reomoved and another one was found with the board half hanging out from the box control panel.

The issue of CCTV and lift interior refurbishments we will be discussed during next weekend’s AGM and your support is required to back the resolution that will be submitted.

Clubhouse toilet - sewer pipe clogged

After years of previous management taking a ‘tidak apa’ approach to many issues a huge backlog of maintenance has built up. Slowly but surely the JL team and the maintenance partners from Vodex are tackling the issues.

One recently issue was related to a one of the clubhouse male toilet sewer pipe that was clogged for many months. The team unsuccessfully tried to resolve the a few weeks ago by rodding the pipe and throwing acid in toilet but it failed to can't de-clogged the pipe.

A contractor was called in this week to rectify the matter permanently and root cause of the the actual problem was discovered. It seems that someone inserted in big sponge foam and male underwear into the sewer pipe which clogged up the whole sewer system and caused multiple issues.

Clubhouse male toilet sewer pipe clogged 

Blockage was above space 308/9

Sewer pipe cut into half to remove rubbish stuck inside 

Floors filled with sewer water – the smell is very pungent from far 

Big foam sponge & male underwear insert inside sewer pipe removed from the pipe 

Clamping Activities In Full Force

In order to further enforcing our security team to weed out unregistered permanent visitors without a parking bay and loitering strangers (non residents), we wish to inform all residents again that Visitors Parking bays are for genuine visitors only. Villa Wangsamas does not provide parking bay for residents with additional cars and residents cars are strictly not allowed to park in the Visitors Car Park.

Please be reminded that cars being clamped for unauthorized parking will have to pay a fine of RM 100.00 and RM 50.00 compound fine for each additional day if you choose to leave it clamped without any action.

Those with additional cars must be parked outside Villa Wangsamas to prevent getting clamped or towed away.

Please follow the House Rules and it is the wish of the majority voting residents during the last AGM that the JMC does not rent out parking bay and provide free parking for additional cars and in our part in the management, we will enforce it according to your wish thus any threatening and abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Repeated offenders will be blacklisted and their cars will be barred from coming in as well as named and shamed.

Thank you for your cooperation.

2012 AGM Update

Owing to the transition of management we tentatively scheduled the 2012 AGM for mid to late September.

Last March we appointed  Yee Choon Kong & Co Chartered Accountants to perform the 2011 financial audit.

Unfortunately the completion of the audit is delayed due to the developer owned management company Villa Wangsamas Sdn Bhd failing to grant access to view the fixed deposits which incidentally should have been handed over to the JMB by now.

We are hopeful that the auditor will meet with the Setapak Heights soon to close off this last point.

A draft copy of the report excluding the fixed deposits has been made available and in the interests of transparency we plan to publish this shortly.

In addition to the audit delay there are still some accounting issues to address following the handover from SPM to JL which are preventing a complete understanding of the 2012 financials.

Owing to the delay in completing the audit, the AGM we have contacted the COB and been granted an extension until the end of October.

We have now tentatively scheduled the 2012 AGM on Saturday 20 October 2012.

Once this is confirmed we will ensure that notices are posted and the management office team send the formal notification.

Lift Renovation Update - Septmeber 2012

Earlier this year an update on the lift renovation was published on the site here however several questions are still being asked about the renovation plans.

http://jmb-vw.blogspot.com/2012/02/lift-renovation-update.html

The upgrading of the lifts is a major project and requires substantial investment regardless of the materials used and CCTV solution installed.

The JMC’s preference is still to install stainless steel cladding with rubber stud flooring in the 2 passenger lifts with a different solution such as formica in the Bomba lift due to the more industrial use that it encounters. In addition CCTV will also be proposed for all lifts.

We are aware that not everybody is in agreement with the proposal for stainless steel and due the major expenditure required the final project solution will require a resolution to be passed at the next AGM.

As mentioned in the previous article funding will be either through an increase in sinking fund, a one off payment per person or funds permitting from the sinking fund reserves.

Access Card & Barrier System Update

The stability and reliability of the access card and barrier system has been a major concern and priority to resolve.

Since the JL management team took in July over several contractors have analysed the system and some tactical repairs have taken place to try and improve stability and reliability.

Access Cards
One of the controller boards was found to be missing and several were faulty. In addition to replacing these several  of the controller board backup batteries were found to have failed and due to the remaining batteries being life expired all 49 were changed as a precaution.

The initial results are encouraging and the system appears to be much more stable. If you are still encountering problems with your cards then please contact the management office.

Car Park Barrier
The reliability of the barrier motors is a concern. One motor from phase 1 was recently repaired under warranty and several from phase 2 entrance and exit posts will shortly be replaced.

An issue with the phase 1 barriers being unable to fully open due to the roof overhang is currently being investigated

Several sensor loops at the phase 2 entrance and exit have been found to be faulty which are causing the barriers to malfunction from time to time. The management office are currently arranging for these items to replaced asap.

Recent Maintenance

Maintenance has long been issue at Vila Wangsamas due to a neglect by the developer led management and multiple issues with the previous management’s in-house staff.

The current maintenance team have been extremely busy trying to tackle not only the many outstanding job, problems caused by previous teams but also sadly dealing with vandalism caused by residents here.

The following items are a sample of some of the work performed over the past week.

1. Plastic bottles pushed into the drain traps
Sadly empty plastic bottles have been pushed into the floor trap at many many areas which then clogged clogged up the drainage system and caused a small flood.

The technician had to remove the obstructing rubbish by cutting the pipes into two, removing the blockage and then re-joining the pipe.

Picture showing rain water stagnant on deck. The water outlet is clogged with rubbish due from vandalism

The 4 inch pipe located at car park area was cut open

Residents have inserted a lot of plastic bottles inside pipe outlet. They are impossible to retrieve from the top as it is too deep but to cut open the pipe below

Picture showing our technician rectifying the pipes after cutting open the clogged pipe

Our technician working at a high ceiling level to fix the problem

2. Flood at Blk A-20 Lift Lobby
A report was received that the riser was leaking water badly. The technician tried to turn off the 2 inch gate valve but it was not functioning and water was still gushing out.

The management office staff discussed the issue with our technician immediately quickly purchased the necessary items to resolve the problem.

Shortly after a similar incident occurred and was dealt with quickly by our maintenance team.

Following the repair/replacements to the leaking pipe and faulty gate valve, the locations are now working fine



Total material cost us about RM160/ compared to a plumber which would have cost would have cost 6-7 times that .

Please rest assured that the team are working flat out to try and resolve the many issues and we will try and share some more examples over the coming weeks.

New Pool Signage

The existing pool signage has recently been upgraded with a pictorial sign that most people should understand regardless of the language they speak. 

So far 2 signs have been installed with another one likely to follow soon.

The management office have reported that following the installation many kids/teenagers have complained about the rules despite them being existing house rules.

All residents are kindly requested to ensure that themselves, their children and their guests follow the house rules at all times to ensure a more harmonious environment for everybody.

After Office Hours On Call Service

This is to inform that for any after office hours emergency, a new on call service is available for residents who experience issues such as internal plumbing issues like (pipe burst), internal emergency electrical problem, black out, short circuit or other issue.

Please note that a flat rate call out fee of RM 80 is chargeable per visit to restore back the essential supply.

Please call upon our Chargeman, Encik Fauzi at 012-5655568 should you encounter an emergency and require this service.

Note that this service is optional and residents who do not wish use the service may contact their own contractor.

Appointment of Enforce Security Services

Despite a good start, the performance level of Asiaforce Security has dropped noticeably during the last few weeks. Many chances were given for them to improve but there's been no positive response and they have asked to be be released from the agreement.

As such, the services of Asiaforce has been terminated effective 16 August and they will be replaced by Enforce Security Services.

We ask that the residents continue to give feedback on the performance of Asiaforce until their last day.

Please remain vigilant at all times and report anything suspicious to  the management office immediately.

Regardless of which security company we employ, residents must ensure that their property is adequately secured all times. Some options to be considered are:

•    Changing the door locks from the original sets & installing a grille
•    Using of clamps ground the grille
•    Securing the 2nd door from inside so that it cannot be forced open
•    Fitting a good quality alarm system with a monitoring facility
•    Installation of CCTV at your front door (subject to agreement of neighbouring units & Management Office)

Keeping Of Domestic Pets In the Condo

The management has received complaints from residents that some owners are keeping pets inside their units. Please note that the Villa Wangsamas House Rules  prohibit the keeping of these animals in the unit.

Domestic pets need an environment to run about and wander freely. To cage them in the unit is definitely not conducive for the animals. We strongly recommend that owners with pets kindly make arrangement to have them kept in a proper and ideal environment and not in condo. The local authorities are also entrusted to enforce penalty to units, which houses these animals if reported.

Your kind cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

We seek your kind co-operations and understanding.

Thank you.
