Residents and owners are reminded to take proper precautions of their individual homes. Especially those who engaged contractors or repairmen to work within their houses. It is imperative that you have someone you trust or better yet, yourself monitoring their work.
Especially if you have valuables in your homes, never ever leave your keys to your household to these people. No one will be responsible to any loss except yourself.
There has been cases where contractors and repairmen have been given the keys to enter the premises. At the end of the day, all the works has been completed but the house is missing some furnitures and fixtures.
Let’s look at another perspective – You take your car to the car wash and left the keys to car washers. Later you came back asking for your car, the car washers said they’ve already given the keys to the “owner”. Subjectivity aside and look at the objectivity here, who is to blame?
Importance of awareness cannot be underestimated. It is the key ingredient to taking care of your property.

I received news earlier today that there are some armed fugitives on the run from the police hiding in our apartment complex. These suspects apparently just committed a robbery at a Karaoke Centre in Kepong. During their getaway, a police patrol car spotted them a gave chase.
After a police chase scene (hollywood style! no less) along the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) Highway, the suspects had to abandon their Proton Wira after ramming into several cars queuing at the Penchala Toll Plaza. Continued…

I skipped lunch and snuck out from work (Yeah! I have a full-time job!) late afternoon earlier today. Actually, I skipped lunch and used that time instead. Things in Flora has been a bother lately.
Actually, the waterfall is not underground, it’s underneath Block F by it’s base. The waterfall, as explained to me by our building manager, was caused by overflow of our sewerage. Due to circumstances made by previous management, instead of overflowing our manhole, it was diverted into the so called waterfall. The water from this waterfall goes into a drain at the bottom of block f. Continued…

There was this leakage at Block A. Was only told about it recently by the good folks JMCs of Block A & B. Strangely though, these guys are treating us like Big Brothers ;-) but I am digressing early on the article.
Anyway, the leak at Block A as I was told was caused by a burst in the main-pipe supplying water to our blocks (C, D, E, F & H). They told me this has been going on for almost a year. Shockingly, how come nobody inform anybody on this. Luckily, the newly formed JMB committees from Blocks A & B was thoughtfully enough to take initiative. Continued…

Apologies for the grand sounding title 
Anyway, please read-up the news article published by Sinar Harian on 29th July 2009, an online version can also be found here – http://floradamansara.com/2009/07/29/jmc-perjelaskan-masalah/
No offense intended to the Sinar Harian reporter but some details were a bit off in what I would say fairly accurate journalism.

Let’s talk about finance. If you scrutinize the notice board, you’ll notice that the financial statement put out by the management of the state of the financial affairs. Since the certification of the Flora Damansara (Medium) JMB last March and the appointment PAMA Services shortly after that, the monthly reports for April and May has been put out for public consumption. For the month of June should be out in a few days to satisfy the curious.
The first thing at the top of the statement will be it’s total income for the month. Mind you, this is total amount whether it is collected or not, but due to the JMB by it’s members – owners of each individual units of Flora Damansara.
Then we get serious with various expenses incurred for the maintenance of Flora Damansara as a whole. The first five figures are the fixed charges for the service providers (except for security, whose charges are based on 28 days, 29 days, 30 days or 31 days months). After that we have variable sums.

Flora Damansara have a Round-About. That’s right, not as famous as Rothmans’. Earlier today, I visited to Flora Damansara Management’s Office located at the Hall between Block F and Block H. Upon passing by Round About, I noticed that there are at least 5 cars which are parked there.
Stubborn Parkers 1
The problem with our Round-About, by virtue of its design flaw, it’s quite small. Although with those parked cars poses an inconvenience to other cars passing through, larger beasts will have trouble negotiating it.
If you noticed that we have a high number of student population. Previously, the management stopped school and college buses from entering the our Flora Damansara (1) altogether. Stop at the entrance and walk (exercise) your way up.
But no, everyone’s started cuckoo having eggs. There are those who do not want the buses, fine the management did that. Then there are those who cite that the management are being unreasonable towards students (babies!). Well we have parking issues here in Flora Damansara, then there’s this buses that “must” enter Flora Damansara due to humanitarian reasons (still, babies!).
Fine, the management tackle the those cars being parked hap-hazardously all over the place and create spaces for the buses to negotiate our narrow roadways. First few weeks, we have things going well. Now I noticed, stubborn people are back!
Stubborn Parkers
All I can say is, if any of those buses dent any of those cars, the car owners have themselves to blame!
Speaking to the Building Manager and the Security Lead about this, they told me action is in the works. I hope a stern one will be taken.

I was at the management office just now asking about the Block H burst pipes affecting specific households as per my previous posting. Those guys told me something even more surprising and even worse! At block D, they had to switch off the valve on at 23rd floor. Those lucky few from the 24th, 25th and 26th floors was not affected. But the rest?! That’s almost 50 households!!!
The culprit? A pipe burst due to tampering at the high-teens floor.
I am told that the guy broke the clamping device, but he broke his neighbour’s pipe-joint (is that the lingo?) it to the master pipe. See the picture above, clamping at the above but the culprit, in his despicable effort to break the clamp, damages his neighbours joining pipes instead!
I’m asking.. How low can you go?!
I say bravo! Breaking your neighbour’s pipe and the part that was on the main-pipe!
I’ve been informed that a police report has been lodged on this!
I’ve also been told that this one happened on the 24th June 09 and PAMA Services have since fixed this one.
