The grilles to the lift lobbies and the stairs was approved by the Residents Association on 14 May 2011. The total cost was RM25,800. This was awarded to NP Iron Work by the management company. The sum is inclusive of Bomba approval, one-way lock to all the stair case grilles and door closer to all the grilles at the lift lobbies. Now, the management company, FFMS, is saying the sum of RM25.800 does not include the one-way lock, door closer and the metal sheet covering the side to make the one-way lock effective. Additional sum must be paid to the contractor to complete the job. The grille installation took more than six(6) months and still incomplete.
Now, FFMS is rushing to install the access card system to control the residents. The reason is due to 70% of the owners refused to pay maintenance fees. So, FFMS is using the RA to rush the installation so that they can co-erce the owners to pay up. They also proposed to engage bill collectors to knock on owners’ door. What a big joke is this?
This is unethical and unprofessional behavior of FFMS and the foolishness of the RA to approve the project
FFMS has no legal right to be there in the first place. After 12 months from the handover of vacant possession i.e .11 October 2011, developer must form JMB as stipulated under the statute law, and JMB shall decides who to manage Suria Kinrara.
Why rush this project now, instead of rushing for the formation of JMB in January 2012, as promised by the developer? Don’t this raise any suspicion on FFMS and the RA?
FFMS and RA should find out why owners are not paying maintenance fees instead of rushing into all these acts. This is unbecoming of the RA and FFMS.
Owners facing threats from bill collectors engaged by FFMS or otherwise, for outstanding maintenance fees must make a police report immediately.
Owners should refrain from paying monies to any person/s other than to the office and get an official receipt for each payment.
Owners should also not pay the access card fees of RM150.00 until the JMB is formed. The total cost of the system plus the grilles is about RM124,000. Divide this sum by 1,016 apartment units, the cost should be only RM123.00 per unit and not RM150.00. Only about 250 owners out of 1016 units have paid the RM150.00 so far.
FFMS should not be entrusted to handle this project.

| Can this grille be effectively using one-way lock? Only to open from inside out? Recently, the one-way lock was installed. But intruder can open from outside in. Doesn't this defeats the purpose of this stair case grilles? |
FFMS should not be entrusted to handle this project.

| How secure is the magnetic door lock on this grille? Without CCTV installed or guard at the lift lobby, the magnetic door lock and the battery can be easily dismantled and stolen.. Soon owners have to pay more mon y to keep replacing them. This is the mentality of FFMS, just to get more money form owners. |
FFMS even refused to produce the accounts, agreement with service providers and statutory document requested by the Vice Chairman of RA.
The shop owners do not contribute to the card access system. This is fair, as they are on the ground floor and first floor.
The Chairman of RA (a shop owner not apartment owner) is seems to be supporting FFMS in rushing the access card system. All owners will support the system for better security but not rushing now and handle by FFMS.
You have to ask yourselves this question, why?
