Following the formation of the MC during the last AGM held on 4 April 2015, formalities to setup the Management Corporation (MC) including the new bank accounts are a time consuming process.
During this transition period the JMC members will handover all responsibility, assets and liabilities to the MC however until the new account is ready the service charge and payments are made to/from the JMB account which is managed by the JMC.
Once the new account is ready an audit will performed, assets handed over and the the account closed
During this transition period all expenditure is jointly approved by both the JMC and the MC.
Some previous JMC members are assisting with the above and working closely with the new MC as non-executive volunteers to ensure that there is no impact to the operation at Villa Wangsamas.
It is hoped that the new account will be ready in time of next Service Charge Invoice at the end of this month and further information will be available once the account is ready

Contacting the Management Office
All Residents are actively encouraged to demonstrate a sense of community spirit and directly report any problems that they find to the Management Office without delay.
In addition to visiting the office in person Residents can email the Management Office team or call either the fixed line or the Building Manager. The latest contact details and staff list can be found on the blog site.
It has been noted that some Residents are writing comments on the unofficial Facebook group addressed to the Management Office.
Please note that the Management Office are not on Facebook and the posting of such feedback on the group will likely lead to a delay in resolving issues or even reports getting missed.
Please be reminded that all feedback must include your name, unit number and contact details.
The feasibility of an online Residents portal is being looked into which would allow Residents to report and track issues, view their service charge account and other important information.
More information will be shared once the evaluation is complete and any feedback would be welcome.
Thank you for your cooperation.

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.

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
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.

Update on the issues encountered during the TNB maintenance works on 15 February
On the 15 February TNB performed some maintenance which required electricity interruption to several blocks. As a result of this work several serious problems were encountered and we would like to provide an update on the various items:
Towers Affected
The letter received from TNB listed only a few towers but the power cut was extended to other towers as well. We understand that this caused great inconvenience however the root cause was TNB making a mistake by failing to list all affected the towers correctly.
Lifts
The lifts and some common are lighting are backed up by generators which are maintained on a regular basis and worked correctly when the power was cut.
When power is cut there is a short period before the generators start and the service is resumed. Following this period the lifts in tower G failed to restart due to the electronics requiring a password which the previous lift company had implemented. The previous lift company (Kone) were contacted and a delay was incurred before their engineer arrived and the necessary information was given following which the service was resumed.
Access Cards
Unfortunately many people encountered problems following the power cut and the access card contractor was called to investigate. The initial finding ware that the local controllers which manage the various zones encountered a software corruption when the power the cut which resulted in many cards failing to work. The problem was resolved by the technician rending the database details to each controller.
The JMC are concerned about the stability of the system and will investigate the options available to add resilience to the system when power interruptions occur.
If any residents are still encountering issues with their access cards then please contact the management office and provide your card details.
Management Office
Several complaints were made about the poor response by the staff to issues raised by residents The JMC take these complaints very seriously and have relayed our discontent to the new building manager (En Habib) and the Operations Director (Mr. Kelvin Tan). We have been assured that these problems will not occur again and will be monitoring the standard of service.

Lift Renovation Update
The condition of the lifts has been an issue for some time and the JMC have been working on producing a plan address the issues.
Over the past few months the JMC performed a tender exercise for an upgrade to the lifts by renovating the car interiors as follows:
• Hairline Stainless Steel walls and doors
• Rubber stud flooring
• Full height door sensors for additional safety
• CCTV
The 9 bomba lifts would have a different interior to due to their use for movers and daily rubbish removal.
Villa Wangsamas has 27 lifts and owing to the scale of the project it requires major expenditure in the region of RM400k.
Unfortunately owing to the scale of the project and it’s expenditure it will have to wait until the AGM (tentatively in June) to get the JMB approval and funding either through an increase in sinking fund, a one off payment per person or funds permitting from the sinking fund reserves.
The income and expenditure reports have been published on the blog and from these it’s clear that the sums collected are inadequate for anything more than light maintenance. The 2008-2010 sinking fund has now been handed over to Villa Wangsamas JMB however they are in the form of debtors and will not be available until the debt recovery exercise is successfully carried out. The current sinking fund is also in the form of debtors due to insufficient cashflow each month.
During the previous AGM the proposal to revise the rates to a sufficient level was rejected by the JMB at last so we have to live with the funds we have and focus on reducing costs in order to balance the books.
It is planned to share the upgrade proposal well before the AGM to allow people to fully understand what is being proposed and provide feedback.
We hope each and every member off the JMB will attend the AGM and support the long overdue upgrade plans for the lifts are other projects.
