Cafe Update & Menu

We are still awaiting confirmation of when the Cafe will open and will share any update on this site.

The operator has now provided a draft copy of the menu which contains a comprehensive selection of food.

Roof Top Leaks

Over the past few months several reports have been made regarding water ingress/leakage issues from the roof top on multiple towers which are affecting both units and common areas.

Owing to some units being empty and others having plaster ceilings the number of leaks may be higher than currently reported.

The management office have been asked to arrange a survey by several contractors to ascertain the current state of the roofs and the various repair options available.

Please can all residents on level 20 check their ceilings for any sign of ingress/leakage, especially behind service hatches and report any issues to the management office and cc the JMC email.

CCTV Update 9 Sep 2014

Following the update back in April regarding the installation of additional cameras we are pleased to announce that the installations works are almost completed.

The additional cameras which have good night vision performance, will help secure the perimeter and improve provide coverage of the driveways, car park ramps, pedestrian gates, clubhouse, motorbike lane and pool area.

The next phase of the project will be to create a security control centre however this will be subject to  available budget and relative prioritisation.

RM200 PENALTY FOR THROWING RUBBISH OUT OF UNITS

We have received numerous complaints that some Residents are inconsiderately and irresponsibly throwing all sorts of rubbish out of their units. On many occasions cigarette butts, drink cans, plastic bottles, used tissues, condoms and food wrappers have been found on the roofs of the main podium entrances, the driveways and pavements all over the premises and even on the balconies of units below.

These inconsiderate and irresponsible actions need to STOP IMMEDIATELY as they have incurred unnecessary inconvenience, anger and frustrations of Residents of units below, and could also pose danger to the safety of lives.

Section 13.1d of our House Rules states “Residents who are caught throwing rubbish from their units (either through the doors, windows, balconies or yards) will be held liable for any damage caused to neighbouring units or to units on the lower floors. A fine of RM200 will be imposed”. 

Kindly take note that henceforth the Management will impose the fine without any further notice on Residents who commit such actions. 

To further enhance our efforts to stop this uncivilised and intolerable behaviour, the Management have informed the Security and the Cleaners to inform us of any units that are breaking this House Rule. Moving forward, we would also like to seek the cooperation of all Residents to help us identify these culprits. Persons of such offensive nature need to be identified, reported and penalised. We will publish their particulars on all notice boards and the blog, and lodge a Police Report as their actions are tantamount to serious offences punishable by law if they result in anyone being injured, incapacitated or killed.

Your cooperation is vital in this effort. It is only with your commitment to assist that we can together make Villa Wangsamas an environmentally clean and safe haven to come home to and to live in. We encourage you to keep your cameras handy. Catch them in action; together, we can stop them!

Thank you.

Cafe Update

Following on from the recent update, the cafe operator has advised that there will be a 1-2 week delay in the opening date owing to renovation plan changes and equipment delays

Lobby Door/Linkbridge Gates Access Control Update

Its been some time since a formal update on the lobby doors/linkbridge gates project has been made although adhoc updates have been made via the Facebook group.

Following many unfortunate delays and some design modifications, the ironwork and access control system has been installed and is currently undergoing testing to iron out any issues.

Additional signage has been installed at all doors and gates with the Security team contact number listed should anybody require assistance.

Unfortunately we have found that in several blocks the lobby area plaster ceiling is sagging and interfering with the doors. As a result we will need to rectify this before the system can be switched on and we are hopeful to get this completed in the new few weeks.

Several residents have raised concerns over the lack safety markings on the doors and we can confirm that these will be fitted before the system goes live.

**Update 14/10**
Unfortunately the quotations presented to the JMC did not contain the required dimensions/quantity and delays have occurred in sourcing a quote from some other suggested contractors. The JMC are extremely frustrated with the situation and are pressing the Management Office team to get this resolved asap.

Additional Visitor Bays near Tower J

Dear Residents

Adjacent to Tower J is an unused section of the driveway that is closed off owing to there being a dead end with no turning circle at the end.

To better utilise the space, we are proposing to create 6-8 Visitor parking bays in that area to provide more space for Visitor parking.

However, due to space constraints in that area, Visitors wishing to park there will need to drive in and reverse out.
 




We seek your feedback on this proposal, and you may do so via vwm.jmc@gmail.com or the Management Office team before Saturday 6^th September 2014 following which a decision shall made.

Security Update 01/08/14

We regret to inform you that Guardhouse 1 was subjected to a robbery in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Several people entered the guardhouse and robbed the guards whilst a number of the gang were waiting outside in the road.

Following this serious incident the guardhouse security has been tightened and residents are reminded that they cannot enter the guardhouse.

A neighbouring condo also encountered a similar robbery last week and the police are investigating these cases.

Following the above incident as well as a recent burglary we wish to reassure all residents that all aspects of security are being reviewed and some pertinent points to highlight are:

• To improve visitor management all visitors requiring a car park space will be directed to enter and exit via Gate 1
• All blocks are now covered by working CCTV which provide good coverage of all entry and exit points 
• Additional cameras are currently being installed to further boost security
• Requirements for the new PABX based intercom system are almost finalised following which a tender process will be initiated
• Solutions to some of the language issues with guards are being investigated
• A security improvement plan will be produced by our security company
• Motorcycle access control is due to be implemented very soon via the dedicated lane at Gate 1

If anybody has any information regarding the guardhouse robbery or the recent burglary in Tower C  then please contact the police or the management office.

VEHICLE ENTRY AT GATE 1,2 & 3

Residents are reminded that visitors requiring parking must enter via our primary guardhouse at Gate 1.

All residents are required to use a vehicle access card to enter/exit our car park and those without a card will be treated as a visitor. Recently there have been several instances of both visitors and residents without valid access cards trying to gain access to the car park complex via Gate 2.

The system has been in place for some time however strict enforcement of this rule will be in effect from 15 August 2014

1. Residents found without vehicle access cards are no longer be permitted to enter via Gate 2 will be required to proceed to Gate 1 for entry
2. Gate 3 exit is strictly for residents with valid access cards. All other vehicles will need to exit via Gate 1
3. All Visitors requiring parking must enter via Gate 1 with the exception of drop off/pick up’s for Tower A,B,C,D, and Gate 2 will no longer allow entry to visitor parking
4. Pedestrian visitors may enter and exit at Gates 1 & 2

Gate 1 VW Tag Update

We are pleased to confirm that following an extended test with a number of residents, the VW Tag lane and transponder solution at Gate 1 was a success.

Unfortunately as the final preparations were being made to launch this several lightning strikes occurred over a period of a few weeks which damaged the system along with other items at Gate 1. The repairs to the circuit boards can take in excess of a week, with the system in-operable during this time.

Gate 1 seems to encounter a disproportionally high number of power surges and owing to the impact and that this would have to the operation of the VW Tag system and to prevent damage to the other electrical items we are currently working to fit a heavy duty surge protector to the main distribution box at the guardhouse.

We apologise for the delay in commissioning the system however we must ensure that post commissioning the system is reliable for residents.

The JMC are currently awaiting quotes from several electrical contractors and will endeavour to expedite the works so that VW Tag can be launched.

Updated House Rules

Please be advised that following the 5th AGM held last January the House Rules document has been updated to reflect the changes and can be downloaded here:

Villa Wangsamas House Rules v2

The JMC and Management Office are considering producing a residents information booklet containing the house rules and some other important information. Any feedback or ideas for content would be welcome and should be sent to the JMC via vwm.jmc@gmail.com

Audited Accounts Update

Several people have recently enquired as to the where they can get a copy of the yearly audited accounts which are submitted to the authorities.

Copies of the accounts are available on the blog site as follows as well as the management office.

Villa Wangsamas Management (Developer) 2009/10 Audited Accounts
Villa Wangsamas JMB 2011 Audited Accounts
Villa Wangsamas JMB 2012 Audited Accounts
Villa Wangsamas JMB 2013 Audited Accounts (in progress)

To again reiterate that owing to the AGM being held late Jan 2014 and the need for a auditor to be appointed for the previous year as well as the audit only commencing after the 2013 account period has closed (several months into 2014) and the audit process taking several more months the 2013 accounts the accounts were not available during the AGM.

The latest update is that the the JMC will receive a draft copy in the next few weeks and once approved a draft copy will be made available.

June 2014 Debtors Update

The latest debtors report is now available for download here: 30 June 2014 List of debtors by block 

We are pleased to highlight following continuous enforcement work over the past 6 months the debt level is decreasing and is now at the lowest level ever. Nevertheless there is still a lot of work to be done and we are determined resolve the issues with debtors.

All residents are reminded to check their statements and report any payments that may have been missed to the management office without delay.

We are also noticing some residents who request a payment plan to clear their debt become bad paymasters again after a 1-2 months and the Management Office will take swift enforcement action action against those who try to play the system.

Currently there are several major disputes owing to sub sale issues whereby an outstanding amount wasn’t settled during the sale process and they have now found that they are liable for any sums owed.

Any sums owed are attached to the unit and not an individual so it will not be possible for the JMB to either write it off or commence recovery proceedings from a previous owner. 

Recently a unit owner took a previous owner to the small claims court over the sub sale debt issue and won the case. Following this judgement the JMB understands that other owners in a similar situation are now considering this course of action.

Surau Expansion Update

We are pleased to share that the surau expansion works have commenced. The plan involves the joining of the adjacent meeting room by knocking down the wall partition and the relocation of the gym entrance door so that its opposite the café. It addition to the space in meeting room addition space is gained to using the space in the former corridor.

The works are expected to take another 1-2 weeks and whilst these are in progress a temporary surau has been created in the café.

The former library site is being converted into a meeting for the JMC and the Management Office

April 2014 Debtors Update

Service Charge Revision

Dear Neighbour & Parcel Owner

Owing to an increase in utility costs, contractors price rises, inflation and an increase in the amount of maintenance that our building requires the 2014 proposed budget would have resulted in a deficient each month even if the 100% of the collection was achieved. Whilst the JMC are continually working on ways to reduce costs the situation would have resulted in need to reduce services and delay maintenance to ensure that we could pay our contractors every month.

During our recent AGM held on 25 January 2014 the JMB members in attendance voted to revise the current Service Charge from RM 0.165 per sq ft to RM 0.181 per sq foot effective 1st April 2014 to meet this budget challenge as well as improve the level of maintenance.

We would like to thank those residents who pay on time or even pay months in advance.

The management office team are continuing to make good progress tackling the debtors with the latest figures showing a downward trend due to regular enforcement action being taken.

As a reminder you can now pay your charges by credit card along with the existing methods of internet transfer, cheque or cash.

Debtors Update - Feb 14

The latest debtors report is now available for download here: 28-02-14 List of debtors by block

We are pleased to highlight following a lot of enforcement work over the past 1-2 months the debt level is decreasing and is now at the lowest level ever. 

Over the past few weeks more enforcement work has taken place and we are hoping to see a further reduction next month as well.

All residents are reminded to check their statements and report any payments that may have been missed to the management office without delay.

Currently there are several major disputes owing to sub sale issues whereby an outstanding amount wasn’t settled during the sale process and they have now found that they are liable for any sums owed.

Any sums owed are attached to the unit and not an individual so it will not be possible for the JMB to either write it off or commence recovery proceedings from a previous owner.

Abandoned Car

Derelict Car – Registration no ‘Perodua Myvi’ WPY 4147
We have received a complaint  that this derelict vehicle has parked into unit owner car park bay no 295 level P3 and it appeared to be unmoved for very long.

The vehicle is enveloped in thick dust and the sight of the derelict vehicles is an eyesore to everyone.



We traced the car ownership to Encik Hazli bin Husin of Johor however if you or the person managing the car is at Villa Wangsamas then we urge you as owner of the abovementioned vehicle to come forward to the management office within 14 days from the date of this notice for arrangement to remove the said vehicles out from our car park bay immediately.

Failing which, the Management Office shall without any prejudice to you as vehicle owner, will arrange to tow the said derelict vehicles out of the condominium compound without making any further reference and all cost of removal shall be borne by you.

WATER RATIONING UPDATE

Further to our previous notice, please take note that our internal storage tank is sufficient to cover for the two days water when the supply is cut by SYABAS providing that residents mininise usage.

During the last cut Tower ran of of water a few hours before the supply was reconnected.

We ask that residents continue to give cooperation to minimize water usage during the water rationing period (2 March to 31 March 2014).

The full rationing schedule is attached for your reference and Villa Wangsamas falls under Zone 1 category. There will be no water supplies from Syabas listed on the following rationing date ;

Appointment of Proxies at the AGM

Unfortunately many people have misunderstood the law regarding the appointment of a proxy at the JMB AGM.

Under Act 663 only joint and corporate owners may appoint a proxy. For joint owners the proxy must be one of the joint owners whose name is listed on the S&P agreement.

Friends/relatives or spouses etc who are not registered owners are not classed as JMB members and therefore cannot be appointed as proxies.

Corporate owners must produce a resolution letter from the companies to confirm the appointment of proxy with the name and IC number stated therein

The AGM is for JMB members however subject to available space partners and other non JMB members may attend as observers only.

Please note that observers may only observe and cannot vote, raise issues or cause a nuisance and failure to adhere to the AGM rules will result in their ejection from the meeting.

Should any non JMB members wish to raise issues at the AGM then please ask your unit owner to attend the meeting to raise on your behalf.

All operational issues/complaints should be directed to the management office and please remember to include your name, unit number and contact details.


Thank you for your cooperation

Gate 1 Revised Traffic Flow Plan

Following the recent update on proposed traffic flow change at Gate 1 we received feedback that the plans were far from optimal. The number of options available are limited owing to bomba requirements stipulating a 6m wide entrance which means that we are unable to simply place a car reader in the middle between lane 1& 2.

Over the past few months several options were looked at and the wake of the feedback received the JMC have decided to amend the plan which will provide optimal traffic flow.

We will be installing a long range card reader in lane 1 which will require the use a transponder in the car to open the barrier. The concept will be similar to the SMART Tag system used at the tolls in Malaysia.


Residents wishing to use the lane will be required to purchase a transponder from the management office which will come with a different type of access card which is heat resistant and fully compatible with all card readers at Villa Wangsamas.

The final pricing is still being worked out however the transponder, card & card printing will available at cost price of less than RM100 per piece.

Residents who do not wish to use a transponder may continue to use lane 2 which will retain the existing card reader.

Subject to a successful implementation then installation at Gates 2 & 3 will be considered for later in the year.

Pool Emergency Life Buoy

Please be reminded that the swimming pool life buoys are for emergency use only and MUST NOT be used for swimming training or as a play accessory.

Unfortunately there are several foolish and inconsiderate residents who are misusing this vital piece of safety equipment.

The new guards have been asked to monitor this issue.

All parents are requested to ensure that their children comply with this requirement.
