This year saw lesser owners register as voter. This could be due to government school holiday and Father's day celebration which ended on Sunday. Anyhow, those presence carried out their duty well and thanks to those volunteer who stands for the committee members.
Committee members for session 2010/2011, consists of owners from unit of block A, B , C and D which is the ideal distribution whereby each block was represented by the resident of the block. There're total of 10 members were choosen during the AGM but it is proposed that to have 12 members. This new team is lead by Mr Ajitpal Singh who was the previous treasurer on session 2009/2010. The selection of the treasurer and secretary will be further discussed internally and will be made public soon.
Last but not the least, let's wish them the best of luck and hope all residents work hand in hand and together we create a better environment to live in.
To all owners,

Be punctual and see you there!
Dear all,
Please be informed that effective 7th September 2009, all service charges and other charges should be payable to CHANGKAT VIEW CONDOMINIUM JMB as the new account under JMB have been opened.
If u guys notice, the debtor list is out. It is posted on the notice board at all block. If the debtor is your next door neighbour, maybe you give him a call. Let him know bout the debtor list. They're famous now.
And he wants to sell his unit, he can just forget about it. No property can transfer name unless the unit is free from any outstanding balance. You should be cautious too when buying a unit here. Remember to check the list or with management to ensure the unit you want is not from any of the debtor property.
Right after the last meeting, developer managed to clear all the debts. With that payment, i can confidently say that our account is very healthy. Soon, we'll open our own JMB account. With the right planning, i'm qute positive we can proceed with our initial plan.
We have not give up on all the request we put forward to developer. My gut feeling telling me that the little hope we have. By next week, we'll know whether it is a good or bad news.
In less than 1 hour, It is the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan. My malay friends will starting fasting for 1 whole month. And I think for the non muslim, we should also participate by doing more good deeds.
The minutes for 6th meeting is up for downloading. And this wednesday, another round of meeting with developer and team. They're presenting the audited account and the account will transfer to JMB account. Let's pray everything goes well.
We had a meeting earlier on with a group of ppl from developer. The meeting went on well and we're able to have a good discussion. As for the result, we still have to wait till next week. Especially on the account, a personnel from department was with us explaining on the status. Though is not as details as we requested, but she promised by 19th August 2009, the account will be handed over to JMB.
Myself still struggling writing the minutes. And again, there's meeting held next week. So meaning more time for work, less than for family. I have to get minutes done asap so that all relevant ppl can have the minutes to proceed. Hopefully all the work that had done worth all the effort i putting in.
Talking about account, next week is the judgement day to decide our future. At least we'll know whether we can proceed with the our initial plan. Money for Block C will be transferred and most importantly they will paid what they owned. Tentatively, the cut off point for the account is 1st Sept 09. You all pray for us...
We could not determine the availability of the exact empty car park lot. We had plan on the unsold lot. One of it, is to convert to motorbike parking lot if no other suitable location are found for the purpose. According to Mr B, initial plan for CV does not include motorbike parking as it is not a requirement by DBKL. At the moment, they're limited motorbike lot available and we understand its causes problem to biker.
Talking about broadband, 2 company currently dealing with us. One of the company was awarded with wimax license. They're proposing to use Cv as one of their base for their system. Good points are both affordable and quality service provided to us. Let me read the proposal in details and bring up for discussion with other committee members on next meeting.
Lastly if you plan to go abroad next year and don mind stay out late now, log on to airasia.com. They're giving cheap ticket for oversea destination starting from 1am. So, Good night and luck!
If you guys noticed, poles were erected at the entrance of the multistorey car park building replacing the bulky road divider. The purpose of the pole is to slow down the vehicle when entering the building.
And at the same time, poles were placed at the main entrance too. A pedestrian walkway can be seen now. Previously, there's no proper walkway for the pedestrian prompt me to think about this set up. Longer aluminium bar will replace the existing one.
Hopefully with this installation, guard can monitor better whoever walks in.If we have extra money later on, maybe a proper gate can replace the existing one.
Mr. Ajitpal our treasurer, managed to receive the account report dated up to 30 June 2009. It is quite shocking to find out our current status of the account balance. We're in deficit now. Details of our account will be posted by Suthagar soon on the notice board.
The only reason is that there're debtors who owned us alot of money. Many of the units are from our "dear" developer. I got the exact units number with me and i'm still contemplating whether to release the affected unit to public. But as usual, i wont discuss the details over here.
Yesterday, there's 1 resident from Block C joined us for the meeting. We're certainly welcome those interested and wish to be in the meeting. The feedback i got, not many of the resident go through the minutes. I encouraged all of concerned owner to go throught the minutes to obtain the latest developement updates on CV. You can obtain the previous minutes from management office.
For your information, the cost of installing the glass door and the access card system for all blocks requires money closed to RM90K. To be honest, at the moment we dont have that amount of money for all the major upgrades. Most of the plan for upgrading work will be put on hold untill we see surplus in our bank statement. It is estimated at least untill December or before Christmas.
If you wish to contribute ideas and infos on anything related to CV, kindly do so.
Not good and i think is totally unacceptable. This is how i described the reply from developer. Developer got back to us with a letter and rejecting all the request. They not even bothered to come for meeting. Indeed, is very demotivating. I'm depressed.
I cant imagine they're so particular on every dollar and cents. Not even think of subsidizing the partial cost on the upgrading works. I'm actually prepared for this to happen. But never thought of receiving 100% rejection. I know this task is almost impossible and we're actually trying our luck but we got to try even the probability closed to zero. We're talking big sum of money here.
So, if we failed what's next? We're in the midst of preparing and planning our next course of action. We'll think of a way to overcome all the problems.
We did not get hold the lastest financial account. And we have not officially take over the management of CV account. For the details of it, I cant comment much untill i come out with the minutes. And is not appropriate also to talk about it here since it is accessible by public.
But my advise to all owners, pls pay your maintenance fee on time. If you know your neighbour is not paying, remind them. This is only way you can maintain the value of your investment. Basically you just pay and other people will do what they supposed to do.
I'm taking half day off just for the sake of preparing the minutes. We need to get it done asap so that all others who attended the meeting know exactly what to do next.The meeting went on until 10.15 pm last night. We managed to discuss almost everything we had in our mind. At least there're 20 to-do list for Mr Ben, the Manager in charged for Changkat View.
Frankly, the chances of getting the developer to agree to all our request sound impossible. But at least we try our best to bring up to them. Fortunately, Mr Ben was willing to discuss it again with the management. If we failed to secure everything from them, anything of 10% will be considered a bonus for us.
We have decided to give chance to DU to perform. 2 months is the duration. If they failed, we have no choice to look for other company. From the interview we concluded that, one of the problem the guards had is lack of communication between them and those giving instruction. We hope they will improved on that and cherish the last chance given to them.
Laksa house cafetaria is coming to CV. We met up with the boss and chef yesterday. By right, they should start their operation in May. But due to some technical problem, it was delayed. Anyhow, we're looking forward to welcome them.
I'll upload the minutes after confirmation by Ellen, Chairperson. We had try to include all the issues we have either on going or pending. No major decision is made during the meeting especially when developer needs more time to consider. JMB and management will follow up closely with them. We have the due date so we hope by then, we can proceed with our plan.
We managed to discuss a whole lot of issues this morning. Indeed, a great start for us. All the issues, regardless small or huge matters are in the working paper now.
At the moment, we'll give more focus to the few urgent matters that required immediate attention to rectify asap. Namely a few regarding security, management and few others pending issues. I hope you guys understand all the problems we faced since the day we took the keys required not just days or weeks to rectify and solved.
Nevertheless, we have come up with simple yet effective suggestions and solving method to most of the issues. And now, just need to stream line and finalised the working paper before we subject it to the respective person.
Let's us work on it in details and have a round table talk with the management, security and developer. We definitely need times for things to move on. Please bear with us!
I guess it wont be long but slowly a better and more condusive home for us!
Labour day falls on 1st of May, which is the exact date for the committee members to have first ever meeting. Most of us agreed to do it on this special day as many of us do not need to get to work. We're more than willing to gather around to discuss any issues pertaining to Changkat View Condo.
Well, the plan to spend time with family, we'll do it after the meeting. For owners who had not pen down your complaint, kindly do it asap. I'll start collecting the complaint and suggestions by tomorrow noon. I hope u guys can spend more time thinking bout this. We'll discuss and later forward to relevant party for further action.
You may log on to changkatview.net and check out the issues raised by fellow owners.
Good day to everyone. Actually i'd plan to to post a write up right after the meeting yesterday. But, i was rushing back to work and cant accessed to internet the whole day. So were the delayed.
Something unexpected happening yesterday and it was totally surprised me. For those who cant make it to the meeting, i would like to inform that, the committee members of JMB for session 2009/2010 were elected. And, I was actually elected as the secretary of the JMB. Thanks to those voted for me and putting their confidence and trust in me. But, seriously a huge responsibility on my shoulder now.
I'm starting to work now. First let me compile all the members profile's information and post it here so you all will know who are the committee members. Please stay connected for the next few days.
During the meeting, we managed to bring up and discused few issues. Because due to time constraint, we cant addressed all the issues. Therefore, we had come out with the suggestion where, all the owners are encouraged to file the complaint. You can either do it by putting your complaint form to the suggestion box in front of the management office or you may email to me. Kindly do it before end of this month.
Last but not the least, again , thanks to those presence and putting their trust on us. We'll do our best to ensure Changkat View Condo always stay in tip top condition.

Since the meeting was already delayed for quite some time. And it was supposed to schedule in this month after the hand over of Block C. Myself do hope that this meeting can be materialized soon as we can see that more issues are either pending or no efforts are taken. Those fellow owners with experience in the resident committee are encouraged to be part of the committee or al least voice out your opinions and suggestion on proper ways of maintenance and management of our property.
Till the meeting, see ya...
Just obtained the update from management office. The meeting which was scheduled mid Feb was postponed untill end of the month or early March.
For those who are looking forward to this must be upset by the delayed. Anyhow, stay connected for the new date.
