AGM Update and 2010 Accounts

Firstly many thanks to everybody who attended the AGM.

We are currently awaiting the completion of the minutes and other formalities and will endeavour to update this site asap.

Although the accounts handover has not yet been completed we are able to publish the 2009/10 audited accounts which Mr Philip from SPM presented last Saturday.

The 2010 accounts are available here: 2010_audited_accounts

Jan - May 2011 Income and Expenditure

Whilst the handover of the 2009 and 2010 accounts from the developer is still in progress we are currently unable to provide you with any real details from that period.

From January 1st the JMC have been able to track the income and expenditure of Villa Wangsamas and make decision accordingly.

The current income is not sufficient to cover our costs and this coupled with the delayed handover of the sinking fund prevents many of the desired improvements from taking place,

We are happy to share the income and expenditure for Jan 20011 to May 2011 which will provide you with a greater understanding of the challenges that we face.

In addition we have also detailed how any potential service charge increase would impact the income.

Please remember that these are non audited and are subject to change during the annual audit process.

The details are available here: 2011VWM_I&E

Termination of the Landscaping Contractor

Please note that the services of the current landscaping contractor have been terminated due to unsatisfactory performance.

Due to the need to increase the scope of the gardening work to cover phase 2 we are likely to encounter a significant increase in costs for landscaping.

Whilst the budgets for 2011/2 are unclear until decisions are made at the AGM, the JMC have requested further quotes and options however in the meantime a contractor has been engaged to perform grass cutting services only.

**Update** Handover of accounts and liabilities to JMB

Over the past 2 weeks there has been a flurry of activity regarding the overdue handover of the accounts, monies and liabilities from the developer to Villa Wangsamas.

The Villa Wangsamas team (JMC and SPM) have met with the COB (Commissioner of Buildings) and the Setapak Heights Sdn Bhd an agreed a way forward.

There are still a few questions and concerns however the targeted date for completion of the handover is today (22nd June) subject to everything being in order with both parties.

We will update you in due course following the meetings later today.

JMC / Volunteer Opportunities

Villa Wangsamas is a large development and as I’m sure you are aware there is much to be done by the JMC and our Management Office to bring about the desired improvements.

During the forthcoming AGM on the 25th June there is a strong possibility that some committee members may resign which may provide opportunities for enthusiastic parcel owners to join the committee.

We are aware that some people are unable to join the JMC for various reasons e.g. their partner is the registered parcel owner however the JMC are always willing to talk with residents who wish to volunteer their time to assist the JMC in making Villa Wangsamas a better place to live.

Pre requisites for either position are: 
  • Not a service charge defaulter
  • Team player
  • Aable to spend time for meetings and projects
  • High emotional intelligence (EQ).

We are particularly interested to hear from residents who have experience in the following areas:

  • Accountancy
  • Legal
  • Property management
  • Structural Engineering
  • Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing
  • Website/Blog design

If you are interested in helping in any way then please contact the JMC via: vwm.jmc@gmail.com
