JMB is your Punching Bag

JMB is a punching bag for the angry and frustrated owners of Suria Kinrara.  Owners paying the maintenance fees to JMB have the right to behave in this manner. As an owner, I am equally angry and frustrated.  The JMB is not sleeping but instead  working extremely hard. One JMB meeting ended at 12.30 midnight.  The problem lies with the service provider, Subang Perdana Management Service Sdn. Bhd. (SP). SP has let down the JMB. 


In the eyes of the owners, the security and janitorial services are the two big problems with the most complaints.  With the endless telephone, email, SMS and facebook complaints, JMB committee members are demoralized. Two committee members have left the JMB.  The rest continue to shoulder this tough responsibility.

JMB members are all volunteers, spending their own money and time discharging their duties for the benefit of all owners.  I appeal to all owners to be patient and co-operate with the JMB. This is your JMB not some third parties.  The JMB is on a tough learning curve. You are welcome to join the sub-committee to offer your  contribution. Together, we can make Suria Kinrara a better and preferred place to live in.

 Below are some of the facebook comments on the JMB and management of Suria Kinrara.

Cleaners of Subang Perdana turned this Refuse Chamber behind Block D into
their private store for saleable & recycleable materials and dumped our garbage
bins into the open air near the ramp. The garbage bins rusted due to exposure to rain
and sun and some with missing wheels. Is this what the owners of Suria Kinrara
pay the cleaners to do?  I was shouted at when this photo was taken by
the Indian man in orange T-shirt. Two Subang Perdana cleaners wearing the
orange uniform were inside the chamber.

Sunday , saw many people swam in the pool, swimming pool is polluted and not maintained, management did not take action by putting up notice nor locking the gate to the swimming pool. Endangering the health of the residents, especially kids who have no idea about it. Irresponsible management indeed.

 Gaddafee Ismail Cuma membantu supaya mereka tidak terus down dan keadaan kawasan SK menjadi lebih teruk. Mereka juga dasyat cuma tiada update itu yg menampakan mereka tidak berfungsi.

Any JMB or Management here? Can we know:-
1.) Why the acess card no more in use around 2 month?
2.) Why the swimming poor so dirty but still have people go to swim even night time around 11pm .......
3.) Why no guard go to round parking & swimming poor?
4.) Why no more cleaner to clean the corridor, at the parvis area have a lot of rubbish (SK Resident, please lah, keep clean 2gether mah!)

It seems nothing good improvement after JMB was formed 1 1/2 months ago... Or should we have another meeting for us to highlight issues nor they suppose to update us? For now, i can only happy to see rubbish been cleared.

This Garbage bin should be inside the Refuse Chamber. But their corrugated boxes are more valuable than our Garbage bins. Many of these bins are thrown outside
the Refuse Chamber. Should Subang Perdana also be thrown out like this bin?

 

Another Garbage bin thrown oustide the Refuse Chamber. See the Rubbish strewed outside the
Refuse house in front of Block B. Do you accept this kind of cleanliness?

These two "VVIP" motorcycles can park at the lift lobby at Block D. Where are the guards?
What is the building manager doing? 
Soon, residents and owners have to squeeze between motorcycles to go into the lift lobby.

The corner workshop at block D encroached on the common property by removing all the plants
and cemented the area into work area for his workshop. So are the corner shops at Block A.
This coffee shop owner also encroached on the lift lobby mah.  What is wrong?
Soon all the common property in Suria Kinrara will be
encroached by all the shops? When is Subang Perdana going to stop all these?

All the comments are valid and reasonable. These are the problems visible to the owners. The bigger problems are not seen and probably not known to some opwners. JMB is almost bankrupt, with a debt of RM429,916.75 owing to Syabas, TNB and Pejabat Tanah (Quit rent) inherited from FFMS. The monthly maintenance fees collection can barely cover the management and maintenance cost.

 If the JMB does not resolve this utility bills problem, the water and electricity supply may be disconnected. What is the consequences of the utility disconnection? No water to your apartment units and all shops plus common areas. No lift running, no corridor, car park, staircase and compound lighting.  You may need to get your torch light ready. If electricity is disconnected, you have to walk up the staircase at night with a torchlight.


The biggest issue is to settle the arrears of utility bills by installments. JMB is finalizing this with all utility companies, subject to JMB ability to raise enough fund to pay the installments. Owners must pay the maintenance fees and water bill promptly. As for some hardcore defaulters, JMB may initiate legal action to recover the arrears. Under the law, apartment and shop in defaults can be auctioned off to pay for the arrears  of maintenance fees.

On the maintenance services, JMB has taken the inititative to appoint a security company to guard Suria Kinrara. I-Hawk Security was appointed with effect from 1 July 2012. Did you hear anymore car theft and car broken into at level 2 and 3 car park?  If yes, please report to Encik Idris or Suhairi. IF the services of SP is not improved, JMB committee will have to be directly involved with the day to day management by appointing more independent and professional service contractors.

During the JMB meeting on 7 July 2012, the functional sub-committees have been appointed.

Security – Idris

Mechanical and Electrical (M & E) –  Albert Lai

Why is this emergency telephone exposed?
This will go missing soon and
owners have to pay to replace this.

Common property maintenance – Wayne Chia

Publication & Communication – Pylim

Owners Liaison   - not appointed yet. Any volunteers?

Complex manager of SP is Encik Suhairi Yacob from SP. Owners should direct all complaints to him with a copy retained for reference and cc to JMB committee members concerned for follow up action..

JMB needs constant feedback from owners staying at Suria Kinrara to highlight the problems of SP. Do not just complian or post comments of the facebook. Please help the JMB by sending photograph of problems. Like some of the photographs posted on this blog came from other owners.

More evident of SP’s failure at Surai Kinrara (see pictures)

Why is this door to telephone cables room
opened? A TNB cable room is also
opened at Block D  Ground Floor.

Where is the guard? During my visit,  Block B has no guard
at both lobbies. One guard at Block D, 2 guards
at Block A and One at Block C . There should be
nine (9) guards on 24/7.

Wow!. This common area at level 4 Block B  is turned into someone's private
laundry area.  Where is the House rule enforcement by the building manager?

Where are the cleaners? This cleaners' trolley is abandoned behind Block D. During my visit
between 11am and 1pm and not a single SP cleaner is found in all the four blocks of the building. Many other trolleys are abandoned all over the places in Suria Kinrar insted of storing in the refuse chamber. 
Owners of Suria Kinrara may be paying for phantom cleaners. There should be 13 cleaners performing daily cleaning routines. Will owners please help to monitor them and 
take picture of any abuse by these cleaners. 
JMB requested these cleaners to be thrown since day one, but SP is still keeping them.

When is this workshop going to re-instate all the plants?
The owner of this shop does not own the area outside his shop.
He has no right to encroach on common property.
He has to pay to reinstate the common property destroyed by him.

Who gave the permission to install this cage? The same Motul Workshop
fitted this cage without permission.
The owner of this shop is a Bank Negara officer. He should knows the law
more than any other owners. Should he be shamed publicly by publishing his name?

TNB switch board room at Block D is opened.
Isn't SP giving opportunity for vandals and criminals to sabotage power supply?

Is this the shop's store room?
Hey! This is a driveway and loading area, not your private storage space.

Owners of Suria Kinara must help the JMB to keep a close 
watch on Subang Perdana and their workers. You cannot just depend on the JMB to do the job. Some JMB members are not staying at Suria Kinrara. This is your property. If you do not care, who would?


SP is paid by you to manage Suria Kinrara. You are the boss not them.

I am Angry.
