MEETING WITH SYABAS

2008-10-28T01:29:00.009+08:00

On 13Oct08 received a call from Rosman( ex-YDP, advisor for PPPEC ). Claiming that Syabas had called and informed him that water supply to estana court will be cut at anytime due to outstanding bill amounting to Rm38K.

Since JMB come into existence, MC had been delaying and not making prompt payments to Syabas and TNB, he left all of us with huge sum of unpaid bills. Its up to JMB to clear the mess left behind by MC.

Seem like JMB is not getting much help from Rinbun Capital.

Rosman together with Col Zaini had made appointment with Syabas to discuss and prevent the water interruption. I call JMB AJK members to follow, none wanted to follow or not free. So, at 7.30am 14Oct08, only Rosman, Col Zaini and myself run to Syabas Gombak/Selayang.

Two item were discussed

1) Billing individual water meter by Syabas to tenants directly. This issue been going on since May08. Syabas wants few thing need to be done before this "migration" can take place.

Briefly.. item discussed on..

Identify individual meters properly with tag.
Key to meter room to be hand over to Syabas.
No obstruction at meter area.
Roof top tank need to be clean every 6 months.
No outstanding bill.. RM38K must be cleared first.
All buyers need to submit agreement form to Syabas.
Syabas officer wiling to meet all buyers to explain the migration procedures.

MJB to inform and get the agreement from all buyers and settle all the issues. Only then can the individual meter will be done by syabas.. then we all can enjoy the benefit provided by PKR Selangor Government of free 20 cubic meter of water.

2) Item two was it the billing dept..

Requested the officer in charge to refrain from disconnecting the bulk meter.
Payment were to be made in stages.
To get Puan Rohaya of JMB to make payments asap.

Mr.Rosman making some suggestion to Syabas Officers on the payment method.

Syabas Officer..

.

...

The next day, Rosman had a meeting with JMB AKJ members.. He explain to the message from Syabas to them. Lots of finger pointing and blaming the ex-MC and PPPEC for the mess.

Bottom line, Rosman wants issues to be kept a side first and solve the water problem.

WATER

2008-09-22T01:38:00.002+08:00

Early this month Makcik Aminah came to my house and requested me to do the water meter reading.. long story short.. i agree to do for one month with Hj Bakar.

Hj Bakar delay daly for few days.. finally we did the reading but found many of the water meter doors were lock. Some locks broken. JMB got no key, they say the keys kept by MC.

I took the reading for the meter with open doors for WING 1 and WING 2. I gave the reading to Hj Bakar to follow up. Till today no further news about individual water bill

Resently, Sahfi says he gave the keys to Rimbun Capital. So whats up with JMB and Rimbun?

Sahfi also says he had talk to Syabas and individual meter reading will be done by Syabas soon. JMB also had talk to Syabas about the same matter.

Its good if Syabas can take over. It would be very good.

JMB 3 AJK name been replaced.

2008-09-22T00:32:00.004+08:00

Memo at the lift. The bloody stupid Promista Developers name is being used by this Rimbun Capital and JMB. Really muak la to see the Promista Developers name being used as Heading on the memo.

Kononya they will sue and take your house if you people dont pay them the money they want, that is the RM88. maintenance fee RM80 plus RM8 for sinking the condo.. hi hi

Anyhow, in the memo 3 new names appear as JMB AJK.. don't know what happen to TS Jeffrey and Shamsul, and Rohani.

In thier place, new names appear, Puan Zaiton A-3-5, Puan Rozie A-G-1 and Puan Aminah A-5-16.

From the buyers name list that i have, 2 of the AJKs are not the owners of the units here. Unless ownership been changed, i think they are not qualified to be in the AJK.. because Rimbun Capital guy said on 31Mei08 that only buyer who are staying here at estana court can be in the JMB.. but i guess thats a small matter.

The selected peoples name and phone number are displayed in the photo below..

MC quits and PPPEC forced to disband.

2008-09-06T17:08:00.009+08:00

Trouble at kandang kucing...

Rinbun Capital Sdn Bhd and the JMB ( Joint Management Body) had some kind of heated meeting resently with our MC and persatuan PPPEC.

News is that the JMB champion by makcik Rohaya and makcik Zainap had caused the MC to quit.

Since the Rimbun Capital had declared that our persatuan is no longer relevant, eventhough only thru PPPEC does estana court been operating.

As such PPPEC no longer active. Its a dead association. Rimbun Capital and JMB will handle all problems. They are the new Management Company..

Its sad to know that PPPEC been forced out, after all estana court is revived because of good people from PPPEC. Now it seem PPPEC is irrelevant.

Anyhow, water bill to SYABAS and electric bill to TNB must be made on time.

Maintenance fee and Individual water bills collections must go on.

With Mihrab Binaan Snd Bhd as MC, things were move at snail pace. So many things left undone but at least eventhough not perfect, the jobs like cleaning, gardening, security and collection of maintenance fee as well as water bill was carried out.

Hopefully, Rimbun and JMB don't screw up like Promista Developers did.

RE-PAINTING WORKS and CATS

2008-08-12T20:44:00.018+08:00

Looks like MC got active and started cleaning and painting some of the areas. The fungus growth and dirty marks on the paint at the ground floor and the wall at the security guard area were removed and repainted with darker brown colour.

I suppose the idea for choosing the dark brown color would be to make fungus/dirts be less visible in the future.

Dirty wall after the entrance of guard house.

Painting the walls at the security guard house.

(11Aug2008)

Cleaning and paint work done..

The area between SL3 and SL4. Painting done.

The place looks neat, except for the wet floor caused by the dripping water from the air condition of the lady who happens to be a hopeless AJK of the present persatuan(PPPEC).

After painting.. the nicer looking Wet Market/Mini Market/Kedai Runcit/Kedai Makan/Restaurant etc.. that belong to Sukri.

One problem with this shop.. it causes grass to die as ppl walk on the grass to go to the shop plus the makan-tables block the walkway.

It also encourages stray cat to enjoying life here with the left over foods from the makan area.

Here meow..

There meow...

Everywhere meow...

Meeting with all Buyers on 27July2008

2008-07-31T23:42:00.006+08:00

Meeting was held on the 27July2008 at estana court dewan at about 11am. Turn out, as usual was very very poor. Anyway the meeting did proceed. Followed by some light refreshment.

AJK and MC rep explaining issues to buyers.

Few points were raised.

1) Inquiries about the new JMT( joint management team). There was no news about the JMT or about Rimbun Capital. PPPEC will proceed to represent the buyers interest. According to YDP, there was no one from Rinbun Capital had approached him.

2) News is that Rimbun Capital is legally hv acquired the rights to develop the Block B area but... since the 5% StakeHolder money, abt RM550K been used up by MC without any care or saving for emergency use for estana court's maintenance, it would seem that Rinbun Capital may not have much interest in Block A.

3) MC will continue till the end of its contract.(2years).

5) Water issue.

MC rep said he paid with his own money for the bulk meter water bill as the collection from the individual water bill was not enough to pay to Syabas. Since this is a ridicules claim, some buyers demanded the names of those who have not been paying their water bill be made public by posting on the notice board. The individual water bill money collected by MC should be more that enough to pay for the bulk meter water bill as persatuan is charging 12cent more for each cubic meter used by the tenants. syabas charges only RM1.38 for each cubic meter shown in the bulk water meter. Persatuan charges RM1.50 for each cubic meter used by individual units.

Tenants suggested individual water meter reading be taken over by Syabas. So that the work scope of MC will be reduced, and also the benefit given by the new Selangor Government reaches all the citizens.e.g 20cubic meter free.

TYDP said talks with syabas already had taken place regarding the individual meter billing. YDP will meet syabas to talk over the matter with the relevant people. Issues regarding the maintenance of the water pump and the electricity usage will be discussed.

6) Maintenance Fee

Too much outstanding maintenance service fee to MC.
It was highlighted that it the MC fee is too high. The collection of maintenance fee is not enough to support the demand by MC. Some buyer suggested MC to withdraw their service as persatuan cannot afford to pay them.
TYDP, Col.Zaini informed that a deal with MC was reach that can help out the situation. a) All the rental from EZnet will be given to persatuan. abt RM2.5K. b) All the public telephone rental will be given to persatuan. abt RM60. c) Part of the JR agency renting collection will be given to persatuan, the sum was not revealed by MC.
All the rental income will go into persatuan sinking fund.
MC was asking RM7.5K for their service of maintaining the building such as cleaning.
Common area electric bill(est. abt rm6k), security guard(est. abt 3.5k), water bill(est. abt rm7k) will be paid by persatuan.
Individual maintenance fee was calculated again and it was decided to maintain the resent fee raise. RM110 (rm10 for sinking fund)for unit from level 1 to 10 and RM 150(rm10 for sinking fund) for shop lots and penthouse.

Irresponsible tenant at A-3-9

2008-07-30T00:29:00.004+08:00

The air con water from the unit 3-9 drops/falls to the ground below and causes slippery floor and hits people walking below. Informed the tenant who happens to be a AJK in our persatuan.

I even suggested to her how to divert the aircon water to the drainage pipe just beside the aircon but she refuse to do anything. Instead of correcting the fault she bombasted the MC/Sahfi for not doing proper cleaning of the walls. Totally irrelevant subject. What does MC's lack of ability to keep the walls clean got to do with the dripping water from this makcik's aircon?

Nothing, but to this looneytoon thinks its relevant. She refuses to do anything to correct the problem. Another typical "Hak Aku" type of character, who is not bothered abt other people's safety. She wants a cool room but not bothered if someone gets hurt from slipping on the wet floor.

Aircon at A-3-9 with the Aircon water falling all the way down.

This is the mess the A-3-9 aircon water does. Slippery and wet with fungus growing.

I have requested MC to help out to modify the aircon water to divert it to the drainage pipe near the Air Con. Lets see what happens.

MotorBike Parking Area

2008-07-28T22:00:00.009+08:00

After much delay, finally the motorbike area was extended to accomodate the increasing motorbikes at estana court. The 2 car park slots at the entrance were converted into motorbike parking slots. Now hopefully tenants can park thier bikes at the parking area only.. but what to do with those hopelessly lost in setinggan attitude and refuse to park their bikes in the parking area? Let see if the guards can enforce the no parking rules.

This white elephant been removed and the area is now used to park motorbikes.

New additional motorbike parking area with yellow parking slots.

Some people are just not bothered to park in proper place even after informing them. Lets see if they will park at the proper place now.

Used Car

2008-07-12T02:00:00.002+08:00

Finally this old worn-out car thats been parked just after the entrance to estana court, been removed. Its been more than 5 month the car been parked here without moving an inch.

Its all "hak aku" punya pasal.

Abandoned n Lonesome MT22

BURGER STALL

2008-07-12T00:43:00.012+08:00

Finally, after 8 months of "tidak-apa", "peduli apa" and "hak-aku" attitude, the illegal BURGER STALL thats been obstructing the passageway in front of SL3 been removed.

Hopefully in future they do there business inside the existing shops.

MPAJ makan cukai pintu from us but tidur when comes to illegal business like this.

MC Office at Dewan

2008-06-12T02:09:00.004+08:00

LOL...

MC office been shifted to the small room in the dewan. Previously this room was used by the PPPEC of the late 2007. It was closed forcefully by MC. Since then the bendahari of PPPEC Md Aris had resign.

The location is very good for MC to opearate. Don't know the reason why they transfer the office from secound floor.. and i am not bothered to know any crappy reasons either.

Rimbun Capital Sdn Bhd & meeting on 31May08

2008-05-31T23:15:00.013+08:00

Out of the blue, on 7thMay08, some joker from a company called Rimbun Capital Sdn Bhd send me an email. The email was requesting me to post a memo announcing a meeting on 31May08. I asked back few simple question and the joker didn't even bother to reply back. What a professional company.

Mr. Nadzri too receive a similar email and he post it in the yahoo group.

How good is this Rimbun Capital Sdn Bhd...

First, not bothering to explain or reply emails.
Second, not doing proper reseach. They refer Estana Court as an apartment which is wrong according to my S&P. My S&P states Estana Court as a condominium. Syabas was insisting estana court is a condo and they are charging PPPEC, condo rate for the water bill.
Third, they state wrong road in the estana court address.
Fourth, they disrespect our persatuan by not discussing with our persatuan PPPEC before having a meeting.

Ok now about the meeting on 31May08

At about 1030am..

the girls at the reception didn't have my name on their stupid list claiming that i didn't pay my maintenance fee. I mean WTF, i had been paying my maintenance fee since the begining. I was like, to hell with the stupid meeting and i was off to catch some show on Astro in my home. Receive a call from Dato' Sahfi, I came back and took a seat totally ignoring the stupidity at the reception. The dewan was nearly empty. There couldn't be more that 20 buyer attending the stupid meeting. Including 3 ordinary AJK of PPPEC. No PPPEC TDP, TYDP, Bendahari or Setiausaha..

A buyer, Mr Tahar was very upset that the meeting was not informed properly to the buyers and he was also upset that the persatuan's( PPPEC) role was not respected. My feelings exactly.

Rimbun Capital rep said that a registered letter was send to YDP, Mj Redzuan, informing about the meeting but he didn't receive the letter. How difficult is it to make a phone call and inform him. Can't Rimbun Capital get the phone numbers from Sahfi and call all the buyers imforming about the meeting. Persatuan did it so many times before, when we had meeting.

Anyway Rimbun Capital reps claims that they were legally acting in place of developer, Promista Developers ( the useless developer who cheated the buyers and went bankrupt). Rimbun Capital was claiming that they were appointed by JI(jabatan insolensi). They also claim they had meeting with MPAJ and persatuan was never present during any of the meetings and that the persatuan was informed. Which was a total hogwash, the 3 persatuan member(AJK) who attend this meeting deny any knowledge of calling for any meeting with MPAJ or with Rimbun Capital Sdn Bhd.

Rimbun Capital was not in favour to postpone the meeting even with such a poor show of buyers. They were insisted on selecting 5 buyer to represent the buyer in the Join Management Body, and to set the maintenance fee.

Rimbun Capital was stating that they will refer back to MPAJ if no one was elected.

I and few others disagree with the way Rimbun Capital insisting on selecting buyers to represent all buyers when PPPEC key people are not present, on top of that only few buyers were present. I prefer they refer back to MPAJ or whoever hired them.

Some other ex-PPPEC member like my dear old friend Mr Saleem wanted the election to go on, with those who are staying in estana court to become the member of the new committee. How nice of him.

Thanks but no thanks, i had enough.

Anyway, the 3 odinary AJK( off PPPEC) who were present there plus 2 more buyers was chosen. These people reserve the right to resign and another person may take their place..

With this, according to Rimbun Capital, the persatuan PPPEC no longer have any power, but only these 5 people have the power to hire or fire the MC.

The maintenence fee was reverted back to RM80. Proposed by Puan Rohaya and seconded by Puan Zainab. Overturning the recent increase in maintenance fee by PPPEC.

The interest for late payment was was set at 5% (per annum). Proposed by Zainap to be 1%. Later the interest was set to 5%. Standard rate at other places was said to be from 8 to 10%.

According to Rimbun Capital, the new committee will have to open a new account to collect the maintenence fee etc.

Good Luck ( ahem )

These are some of the guys from Rimbun Capital.. in a nearly empty dewan.

This is the list of newly Joint Management Team is as below..

Jefri (A-8-18)
Rohaya ( A-11-5)
Zainab (A-3-9)
Rohani ( A-11-10)
Shamsul (A-5-7)

MAINTENANCE FEE AND SINKING FUND

2008-04-17T08:17:00.002+08:00

There is a memo in the notice board and in the eccbcgroup in our yahoogroup regarding the maintenance fee.

Starting from 1st May 2008, the Maintenance Fee had been increased.

The raise coming from PPPEC and MC. I guess the raise was discussed during the AGM in February2008. I didn't attend the meeting as i was in, China.

For the units in 1st to 11floor, the maintenance fee was raised from RM80 to RM100. In addition to a new Sinking Fund of Rm10 each month. So a total of RM30 hike in monthy payments to maintain the building.

For Ground Floor(shoplots) and 12thfloor(penthouse) units the maintenance fee been raised to Rm140 plus Rm10 for sinking fund. A huge raise of RM70.

With limited facilities can the raise justify the services provided?

We do have basic facilities to occupy our units savely and comfortably.. like the following

1) Security

2) Lift - ( one lift is down since like "dinosaurs roamed the earth")

3) Garbage collection

4) Common Area Cleaning and Landscape maintenance

5) Common Area Lighting Maintenance.

6) Managing common water and electric bills.

Facilities like the playground, carpark, motorbike park, dewan etc require no maintenance or require minimum maintenance. There is no gym or swimming pool to maintain either.

NetBall and SepakTakraw n Badminton Court

2008-02-08T03:34:00.000+08:00

The Car Park beside the Childrend Playground had been turn into adult PlayGround by MC.

A NetBall court and a Sepak Takraw cum Badminton Court been allocated in the car park.

Public Telephone # 2

2008-01-16T02:32:00.000+08:00

Public phone number two was installed in at the ground floor lift lobby on the 5th January 2008.

Second public telephone been installed at Lift Lobby.

Condominium konon.

2008-01-16T00:16:00.000+08:00

What a joke.. 15jan08. Removed stalled are back in action with more dirty look.

Early January the stalls were moved back to the shop lot and the place looked cleaner. Then, few days ago the MC forcefully took over control from PPPEC and the first thing that come back is the crappy stalls.

I don't think anyone is stopping anyone from doing business legally but why can't they do it in proper place. So many people are using the passage way to get to the lift. Why can't people understand that intensionally obstructing other peoples walking path is uncivilsed. DON'T BLOCK THE PASSAGE WAY TO THE LIFT LOBBY.. with tables, chairs, pot, pans, dustbins. etc.

This is how it looked last year, November/December 2007, before the stalls were removed. This picture shows how the stall operator block the passage way.

Back in November2007

Who is allowing them to erect the stalls and to operate in the main walking areas? Whose "bright" idea is this... MC or PPPEC or MPAJ or OA.

Now the stall is back. January2008.

Ada kedai tapi mau menjaja di tepi jalan juga. Bukan saje buruk dipandang tapi menyusahkan org berlalu.

Chow Kit Road habits just don't go away.

This picture was taken yesterday before the stall is open for business. Imagine during operation hours.

MPAJ already send "cukai pintu" kononya estana court is a condominium. Condo with Chow Kit Road stalls ha ha ha.

FIRE AT ESTANA COURT

2008-01-15T00:06:00.000+08:00

On the 5th of January 2008 about 1pm, there was an incident involving fire to one of the units in the 9 floor. One room was affected but the fire destroyed nearly everything in the room.

Myself, a security guy and some other residents, manage to put out the fire with water before it got worse and spread to other units. MANY THANKS TO THOSE WHO HELP TO PUT OUT THE FIRE, probably saving estana court itself.

Someone had called the BOMBA. By the time the BOMBA ENGINE arrive, the fire was already put out. The BOMBA guys come and took detail from our treasurer, Hj Aris and the unit owner.

Hj Aris hilighted on the notice board that our building is in questionable state and few precaution residents must take to prevent fire.

Is the fire fighting Hose Reels in every floor really tested and ready for emergency use? One thing for sure, I found out on 5thJanuary2008 that the 9th floor hose reel was not working.. no water coming out of the Hose Reel. My RM5 pail was more useful on that day than the Hose Reels in Estana Court.

Bomba Lift running since November2006, is the Lift insured? Nope

One Lift(Even floor lift) down since October 2007.. nobody repair it.

Another Lift(Odd floor lift) up/down selector switch not working on 9th floor since November.. nobody repair it.

Lifgtning Arrestor copper strips stolen during Hari Raya Puasa 2007.. still no replacement.

Peoples lives are involve here and yet people are playing "Taichi"

PEJABAT URUSAN PPPEC

2007-12-02T12:23:00.000+08:00

Our new persatuan AJK have opened a new office for managing the collections of maintenance bills and water bills and other

I was told that MC will not collect the maintenance and water bills. So any future payments shall be made at the new PPPEC office. The office is situated inside a room in the DEWAN serbaguna. The PPPEC office is close to the lift lobby. The office is located in a much better place than the MC office.

I was told that from 9am till 9 pm payments can be made. AJK person to receive the payments are Hj Aris (unit A-G-3) and Puan Zinap (A-3-9).I will post if there is any changes.

Frankly i dunno whats going on with MC.

Treasurer Md Aris in action.

Future maintenance and water bill payments can be made here..

LETTER BOXES

2007-11-29T20:58:00.000+08:00

The letter box for every unit was finally already fabricated and installed inside WING1. The old common letter box provided( FOC) by Simon was removed. The individual letter box comes with personal lock hooks. Locks are not necessary but if the owners/tenants want to safe-guard their letters then they can buy a small lock to lock the letter box. Common sense will tell, not to put big pad-locks so as not to block the letters to the letter boxes below.

Already can see the damage to the swinging flipper where the letter is suppose to enter.. i.e AGSL-1 and AGSL-02

More bad stuff... Major screw-up in unit identification.

In August, when i draw the overall plan and the letter box size, i also gave simple instruction to identify the letter boxes according to the unit numbering in front of each unit... i.e ..
A-SL-1, A-SL-2 .. etc
A-G-1 , A-G-2 .. etc
A-1-1 , A-1-2 .. etc
A-2-1 , A-1-2 .. etc

Don't know which "Smart Alex" chose to change and rearrange the unit identifications. Already informed MC.. last month.. no action taken.

Hope the postman can identify and place the letter in correct letter boxes.

Fire Extinguisher

2007-11-09T02:48:00.001+08:00

The Fire Extinguisher that was installed late September at everyfloor near the lift, had been removed by MC before raya holiday and its being kept by them, locked up in their store room.

Obviously defeating the purpose of fire extinguisher.

Missing Fire Extinguisher .. removed by MC

Bilik Bomba

2007-10-31T03:36:00.000+08:00

I was informed that the equipments in the Bilik Bomba in each floor had been restored. The missing Hose Reel were replaced. The stationary black hose reel was intact/not stolen, but the white fabric Fire Hose Reel along with the Nozzle were stolen some few years back. Now replaced.

The pipe were also repaired.

Not clear wherther test been done or not. I suppose it not been done, because as far as i know MC did not restore the Bomba Tank at the roof top. The water supply for these hose reels comes from the domistic water supply in the roof top water tank. All the tanks at the roof top are connected in parallel and the level is only maintain at 4 feet. The Bomba Tank leakage need to be serviced and Hose reel preasure test need to be done. I suppose MC knows this.

Upswung Manual Barrier Gate repaired

2007-10-04T03:36:00.000+08:00

The broken gate "palang" looks like its been repaired. Looks like spot type of arc welding again. Looks weak welding.. but the welder should know better.

Public Telephone

2007-09-30T22:46:00.000+08:00

Looks like Sahfi/MC recently hv installed Public Phone at the ground floor Lift Lobby. Maybe the new AJK might hv requested for the public telephone.

Children enjoy playing with it. Let see how long it will last before getting vandalised.

Upswung Manual Barrier Gate got busted

2007-09-30T21:33:00.000+08:00

The Manual Barrier Gate is broken... AGAIN ... 30-09-07

Its been only 2 months since MC installed the lever gate and its already broken twice.

Extremely dangerous to vichecles and people.

Was it knocked down or broken and fell like the first time??

Hope no one got hurt during the mishap.

2007-09-24T16:21:00.000+08:00

Just got to know that blogspot.com had upgraded their features and now video clips can be posted.

This is my first try at posting video clip. The video clip was taken during the recent 4th AGM. Took the short video clip with my handphone camera.

Click the play button then wait for the video to load. Time taken to load the video depends on your internet speed. If your internet speed is slow then wait for the buffering to complete then play again. I am using maxis wireless broadband at estana court, at 9th floor the internet speed varies, sometime fast and sometimes slow.

If TS Jeffrey gives me a copy of the video that his "camera girl" took during the AGM then i will try to post that video here.

4th AGM

2007-09-19T22:29:00.000+08:00

Annual General Meeting, AGM ke-4 was held at our dewan serbaguna on the 9Sept07.

Finally we had a AGM in a better looking Dewan than the previous years.

Speech from our chairman, Rosman.

Speech from our MC, Mr.Sahfi.

Saleem doing multitasking.. listening to Sahfi and reading news paper... hahaha

And another view..

Finally after all the Q&A session, It was time for the old AJK to step down and a new AJK to take over. Most of the old AJK members had enough and refuse to be selected again (myself included).

Mj Mohd Ridzuan was selected to be our new chairman with Mj.Zaini, AJK Hj Aris, En.Hairani, etc as AJK. I am not sure who holds what post now.

Our ex-chairman, Rosman will be holding the advisor post to guide the new committee. He is volenteering to take over from Hj Lamang who is unfortunately, is still not well.

Hopefully, the new committee member names will be available soon.

Headache for Mj Zaini, Mj Zainal and Rosman.. for selecting new AJK. Many post are not filled on the 4th AGM but Rosman will arrange for some new member to hold certain important post.. like secretary, treasurer etc which are still vacant.

Childrens Play Ground

2007-09-19T21:21:00.000+08:00

PPPEC and MC decided to build the children playground as per the requirement from MPAJ.

Early this month a Taman Permainan Kanak-Kanak was constructed at the empty space near the TNB rooms between Wing 1 and Wing 2. All this projects are controlled by our MC, if i am not mistaken this project was given to MPAJ, the cost for the construction was covered by the Stake Holder Money. Not cheap but still one of the low cost. Estimated to be over RM30K.

MotorBike Parking Shade

2007-08-16T21:34:00.000+08:00

Presently we hv one temporary motorbike parking area below Wing3 near the Bilik Air and Bilik TNB. The area is insufficient as there are more Motorbikes than the shade can offer. Some tenents keep parking their motorbikes in the walkways to the Lift even when there is enough space at the parking area. Some tenents are just plain inconsiderate to others. We have decide to build a motorbike area near the entrace to estana court. The area takes about 8 car park place. Pic below.

Once complete, all motorbike must be parked under the shade provided. MC/security will lock any bikes parked in other areas.

13May07 Meeting with All Buyers

2007-05-19T12:00:00.000+08:00

On the 13May07 a meeting was called by persatuan to inform all buyers about the selection of MC (maintenance cooperation/company). Starting from 1st of June 2007.

It was informed that the previously selected MC, HITMAT MUARA had withdrawn from being MC for Estana Court. There was 2 options, either OA selects a new MC or persatuan will select the MC. The new MC will do neccesary works to maintain and upkeep the condo. The 5% STAKE HOLDER money will be kept in a FUND that will be controlled by persatuan, MC and OA for the benefit of Estana Court.

With permission from OA, Persatuan had selected the new MC to replace HITMAT MUARA. One of the condition put by OA is that MC cannot be a buyer or owner from Estana Court.

PEMBINAAN MIHRAB SDN BHD owned by Mr.Sahfi was selected by Persatuan, since Mr. Sahfi was involve in the revival issues of Estana Court and having experince of being an MC. His company is in best position to maintain and manage Estana Court. PEMBINAAN MIHRAB was proposed as the new MC to OA and OA had accepted the proposal.

Ketua Kampung Tuan Razi Ayob (Setiausaha Mukim Ulu KelangPengurusi JKKK) was invited to brief the buyers on certain rules by Sahfi. The ketua kampung told us during his speech that estana court residence are allowed to use the present access road until alterative access road is builded. He also informed that from time to time there will be some security check will be done on vechicles entering Estana Court.

Meeting at the dewan. Meeting suppose to starts at 10am but due to poor turn up and late turn-ups the meeting starts around 10.45am

Speech by Chairman, Rosman.

The guy in orange shirt is the ketua kampung from kampung pasir. He is representing the kampung.

Answers from Rosman and Saleem.

Question about the STAKEHOLDER FUND from En.Aris. He was also informed that STAKEHOLDER FUND does not come from lelong units or from Contra buyers.

Questions were raised again regarding STAKEHOLDER FUND. This time fm En Hairani who wants the money refund back to buyer. He was representing Jamilah. Saleem again explain that the StakeHolder money does not belong to buyer. The money was suppose to go to Promista. Persatuan is seeking the money from OA to revive estana court.

Again more questions about the STAKEHOLDER FUND

Meeting with buyers - 25-02-07

2007-02-27T23:32:00.000+08:00

Chairman called for meeting with all buyers. I and some other AJK members help to call/sms other buyer to inform abt the meeting on sunday morning 10am on 25-02-07 at estana court dewan. As usual we wasted our personal money calling/sms buyer who never bother attending meetings. Hj Bakar rented the chairs( to paid by persatuan). No food or drinks were prepared this time around. Many of our usual AJK's didn't turn up as they were busy elsewhere.

The meeting was suppose to be hand-over of our unit keys officially when we produce our prove of full payment. Many buyer didn't bring any prove of payment. Rosman too had only incomplete keys to the units.

Water bill was issued for the first time. Not very organised as many AJK's didn't attend to help out.

Some of the buyers listening to Rosman.

Rosman giving explaining to those who attend, the estana court progress and requirement by OA abt handing over the keys. It was disapointing to note that OA did not give all the keys to Rosman.

Water Works 19 - Water Tank Leakage - 3

2007-02-27T23:30:00.000+08:00

It took abt 3 rounds of sealing job for Simon to seal the internal parts where the water was leaking in the Main Tank.

The sequence went like this...

Identify the leaking area. Inform Simon, who was given the task to seal the leaking area in the Main Tank.
Wait till water in the tank is used up then call Simon to inform that the tank is ready for sealing job. Simon comes and seals the identified leaky area with tank sealants. After the seal dries up, I manually activate the water pump and fill the tank with water. Then i check for any leakage. Identify the leaky area then call Simon and inform about the leakage.
Wait till the water in the tank is used up by tenants then call Simon to inform that the Tank is ready for sealing again. Simon and his worker comes and does the sealing job again. After the seal dries up, I again fill the tank with water, check for leak. Identify the leaky area. Call Simon and infom him abt the leakage.
Wait till the water in the tank is used up by tenants then call Simon to inform that the Tank is ready for sealing. Simon comes and does the sealing job again. After the seal dries up, I again fill the tank with water, check for leak. Identify the leaky area. Call Simon and infom him abt the leakage.
Wait till the water in the tank is used up by tenants then call Simon to inform that the Tank is ready for sealing. Simon comes and does the sealing job again. After sealing had dried up, fill the tank with water, check for leak. I sealed up the last leaky area from outside by myself with sealant gave by Simon.
The Main Tank is confirm good. No more leakage. Persatuan Paid to Simon for the labour cost for his worker and the sealant cost.

There still was some minor leakage. With the tank sealant that Simon gave me, i helped to seal the minor leakage. The payments for Simon's workers labour cost and the sealing materials was issued by persatuan.

Water Works 18 - Water Tank Leakage - 2

2007-02-18T13:57:00.000+08:00

Following the advice from Bakti Suci, two weeks ago(14-02-07), AJK decide to repair the leaking Tank if the price was reasonable. Simon said the leakage can be repaired with tank sealing componds. Contractor/AJK Simon was requested by Chairman to give a quotation for repairing the Tank at a minimum charge. It was decided during the committee meeting to allow Simon to repair only the roof top Main Tank( A and B). Simon says he will charge only for the material cost and the labour cost for the workers.

Example of leaking area. There were many such areas that need to be

Water Works 17 - Water Tank Leakage - 1

2007-02-15T10:35:00.000+08:00

delayed update..

Water leakage from the MAIN TANK-A.

The roof top main tank(TANK A) leaks when the water level exceeds 4 feet height. So we could not switch the water control system in Auto Mode. For sometime the water pump motor was operated in Manual Mode.

In December we requested Hj Ramlan of Bakti Suci to help solve the leakage problem. Hj Ramlan send his man to check the problem. They looked and tried to tighten the nuts and bolts where the water leakage was apparent, but the leakage could not be stopped.

Bakti Suci workers checking the Main Tank leakage problem.

Hj Ramlan told me to call him when the Tank is going to be empty, so that his worker can seal the leakage area from inside. When i called him few days later, he said it would be better if we get another contractor to do the repair work thoroughly.

Since the PPPEC bank account balance was pathetic, we postpone the Tank repair work till some other time.

It was hectic and troublesome for me, to run and ON the water pump motor manually whenever the water level drops. Sometimes, some units use up more water since they want to wash their unit or for whatever reason, the water level drop fast and the tank goes empty, then someone will calls me and inform that there is no more water in the tank. I had to run and ON the water pump motor.

Then about a month back, i made a temporary modification to the water level sensor rods in the main TANK A and switched to Auto mode. If the water level drops below 1 feet the water pump motor will operate and pump up the water from the "ground floor water tank" to the Tanks in the roof until the water in the Main Tank A reaches abt 3.5 feet then the water pump motor wili stop operating. The cycle will repeat again when the water level drops below 1 feet.

The picture show the water level sensor rods in Main Tank A.

A simple extension of the water level sensor rods using metal cables with green sleeves.

Water Works 16 - Water Level Sensor Problem

2007-02-14T14:36:00.000+08:00

delayed update...

Problem: The Water Pump Motor cannot stop in Auto mode.

The Water control system has 2 mode. Manual and Auto.
1) Manual mode: where manually we have to switch ON the water pump motor to send water to the roof top tanks and manually OFF the water pump motor to stop the water to the roof top tank.

2) Auto mode, where the water pump is control by the sensors in the Main Tank A. If the water level drops below the "low level" sensor, control system will ON the water pump motor. When the water level reach the "high level" sensor in the tank, the control system will OFF the water pump motor.

The Tukang Paip was unable to solve the problem. The Tukang Paip consulted another contractor to help them solve the problem, but the other contractor wanted to charge RM6000 for rectifying the problem. It was too expansive, so Mr.Sahfi and myself decided to hold on the repair work until a solution was found. Until then we decide to operate manually... meaning i have to ON the water pump to supply water to the roof tanks whenever the water runs low.

Fortunately, the electrical schematic diagram for the control system was available. Electrician Abu gave me the schematic diagram. Abu also was not able to understand the circuit. Spend few days reading and understanding the water control system from the schematic diagram. Finally i was able to located the root cause of the problem which happen to be a short circuit at the input to the water level sensor amplifier A1, causing the water pump motor to always ON when switch to Auto mode.

After rectifying the level sensor system, the Auto Mode was checked and was confirm working. In the Auto mode, when the water reach high level sensor the water pump motor was automatically stops and restarts back when the water level drops below the low level sensor.

This is the Water control system's electrical and electronic components. This control system is stationed in the water tank room at ground floor.

The test pen points to the sensor emplifier known as floatless sensor amplifier. The signal to this emplifier was short circuit causing the water pump to always ON when put in Auto mode.

Water Works 15 - Roof Top Water Tanks

2007-02-14T13:42:00.000+08:00

Delayed update...

By the beginning of November 2006 the roof top water tanks were cleaned. It was very very dirty.
1) Water Tanks on Wing 1 and Wing 3 was cleaned by me... F.O.C

Tukang paip was on Raya Leave.FOC
2) Tank on Wing 2 and the Centre Main Tank cleanned by Tukang Paip workers.

Roof Top Main Tank Overflows.
1) Informed Tukang paip about the posibility of overflow problem due to water level feedback design problem. Main Tank is split into 2, (Main Tank A and Main Tank B). Incoming water pours into both tanks but only Tank A have feedback sensors. The capacity of Tank A is much greater than Tank B due to the way the tanks were connected to each other. Main TANK A linked to tanks on WING1 and WING 3. Main TANK B is linked to WING2 tank only. So the water will overflow from Tank B until Tank A water sensor is activated.

Tukang Paip guy Zarkhan did not believe me. So he wanted to fully fill-up the tanks and see for himself. As i suspected the TANK B did overflow long before TANK A fills up.

We solve the problem by installing a Balancing Pipe between Tank A and Tank B.

This is the newly installed paip called Balancing Paip. The paip connects TANK A with TANK B. Therefore, the gravity will balance and maintains the water levels in both tanks at same level.

The main tank on roof top.

Water Works 14 - Water sub-meter readings 2

2006-12-31T02:14:00.000+08:00

On 30-12-06, i got to know that Hj Bakar did not complete the water meter recording for Wing2 as aspected on the 20-10-06. 10days later he is telling me that he did not complete the task. What he had done was tagging only i.e recording of the unit numbers to the respective water meter pipes. He said Amir left him alone, so he couldn't do the meter readings.

Took the meter reading again for Wing2 with HjBakar. Recorded the serial numbers of the sub meter and the water reading.

Also re-recorded the sub water meter reading for the Wing 1 & 3 as well.

Water Works 13 - Water sub meter readings

2006-12-24T15:00:00.000+08:00

Last Tuesday(19-12-06) few buyers gathered to identify the water sub-meters and record down in a note book the sub-water meter reading along with the meter's serial number. These reading will be regarded as initial meter reading. Any additional reading will be charged at a rate which is yet to be set by Persatuan.

Those present for the job was myself(A-9-8),HjDollah(A-3-05, Rosman(A-4-01), HjAbu Bakar(A-12-6), ), Amir(A-6-05), HjRamlan and 2 more workers from BaktiSuci(SL-1,SL-2,SL-6,A-6-14&A-6-15), EnFaizal( ex-promista site supervisor).

Estana court Block A have 3 wings called Wing 1, Wing 2 and Wing 3. The Wing 1 faces Block B.

Recording of the sub meter in the water meter riser room for Wing 1 was done by myself and Hj Dollah.

Recording of the sub meter in the water meter riser room for Wing 2 was done by Hj Bakar and Amir (went back early)

Recording of the sub meter in the water meter riser room for Wing 3 was done by Hj Ramlan and En.Faizal.

The collection of additional revival contribution was decided on 17 sept 06 during the AGM meeting. After 3months, only 58 buyers have made the payment. Electrician Abu will only install the missing/stolen cable to the units from the electrical RISER ROOM once payment is made to him.

3 months and only 58people hv responded. and people wonder why persatuan is moving so slow.

It would benefit the owners if they do their part and pay the agreed amount of RM2000.

Anyway, following are the name of buyers who have paid the additional reivval contribution of RM500 as agreed on the 17Sept06.

Security Issue

2006-10-29T23:49:00.000+08:00

Security issue.

Hj Basiron who was in-charge of security, had already fired the Rela night guard (En.Din) and the Rela Day guard( EN.Ramli). Reasons given was that the night guard was gambling and missing in action. The day guard was fired because he was absent attending Rela calls.

Hj.Basiron took over as security guard during daytime and he hired Pakcik Yani from the neighboring setinggan house as night time guard for Rm20 per night. Unfortunately Pakcik Yani resign after few days.

There was a break in on the 19Oct06 when Hj Basiron was away. Newly installed cables to 6 units from the Riser to the unit on the8(1 unit),9(4unit)&10(1 unit) floors were stolen again. The robberies took place a day after the electric suppy was energised to the common area by TNB.

To company Hj.Basiron n his wife, i have moved into my unit (A-9-8) on the 20Oct06. Cable to my unit was re-installed on the night of 20Oct06 by Electrician Abu so that i can put up there during this raya period. Mr.Anthony of A-5-10 and myself have requested police patrol from Melawati station. Police man in charge of the patrolling is Inspector Ng. On behalf of persatuan, we(Anthony, Sahfi n myself) have also hired an Indian security guard named Chandra to guard Estana Court at night, tentatively for 2 weeks at a rate of RM30 per/night during this raya holidays. Starting from 22Oct06 till 4Nov06.

2006-10-23T20:46:00.000+08:00

Now, the electric power supply to the Lift Bomba is coming from TNB sorce and not Get-Set. The Lift bomba is tuned to the new power sorce and it is in operating condition. The electric power supply is supplied to the Lift Bomba since 19/10/06. The Lift is test run daily, so far the Lift operation is stable.

The Lift repair guys have checked the PassengerLifts and will give a details of the damage after raya holidays.

Electrical Works 8 - Re-Energizing MSB room

2006-10-19T02:09:00.000+08:00

TNB power is in...

Monday 16/10/06, the TNB guys from Selayang Branch came but they were unable to re-energize the TNB room because the capacity of the power was too high for them to handle. As such, they contacted engineers from another brach to energize the MSB room.

Tuesday 17/10/06, 2 TNB engineers came and re-energised the electric supply to MSB room. Electrician Abu together with 2TNB contractor, checked the supply and activated the common area lighting.

Electrical Works 7 - Cables from Riser to Units

2006-10-13T23:17:00.000+08:00

Replacement and re-installation of cables from the Riser Room to individual units are in progress. The Riser room is where the TNB individual electric meter will be stationed.

As we all know, most of the cable from the Riser to individual units were stolen by unknown scumbags. The electric cables inside our units are still okay, but the cables from the unit to the meter are mostly missing. Some cables were simply damaged/vandalized by cutting it in many places making it unusable.

Since cash in-flow is low, the cable replacement will be done, only to selected units. So that at least some of the units will be occupied for the time being. The priority will be given to those who have paid the revival contribution RM2000 plus the TNB meter deposite of RM120.( paid long ago to Shazwan @Sam).

The stolen/missing Common area supply cables in the ground floor from MSB room and Gen-Set already been replaced( last month). The cables in the ground floor is the easiest to steal or sabotage and yet the cable from the Riser to individual Units were not stolen. Thats weird.

New rolls of cable purchased. The lenght of each roll is 100meter and the size(area) is 10mm(2) . Each unit requires 3 cables:- Live, Neutral and Earth.

These are standard cable connector, made of cast copper with tin plated.

2006-10-09T09:33:00.000+08:00

Electricity deposite of RM10000 was already paid about 2 months back at Melawati TNB branch.

Re-energizing the TNB supply is taking time as there are 3 separate departments from 3 different area are involve. Electrician Abu is doing the communication with all the 3 branches to re-energize electricity to the MSB room.

1. TNB Melawati: For account registration and meter.
2. TNB Kepong : For meter panel, meter and fuse seal checking.
3. TNB Selayang: For energizing meter electric supply.

The meter panel have to be sealed with TNB seal to prevent tempering. A penalty will be charged if any broken seal was detected by TNB people after the electric was activated and meter start working. So the seal was important to be in place first before electric is energized.

On 3/10/06, the TNB guys from Kepong branch came and checked and sealed the meter panel.
Now we are waiting for the TNB guys from Selayang to come and energize the electric meter. Our electric contractor, Abu is communicating with the TNB guys.

Inspection of internal piping by Syabas officers.

The inspection was the result of PPPEC asking Syabas to the waive of consultant acknowledgment and stamp for the "as build drawing". Old consultant appointed by promistar developers are no longer interested as they did not receive payment from promista. Hiring new consultant fee is very high, estimated cost would be more than RM20000. The process for this consultant issue been going on for months. Already, PPPEC had send letters and document to Syabas requesting the Syabas to waive the consultant acknowlegdment.

Tn Hj Yusof bin Saroji, pengurus besar syabas gombak, came to estana court at 4.30pm on 29/08/06 and witness the piping condition at estana court. Finally he agreed to waive consultant acknowledgment plus the stamping, provided Tukang Paip confirms the piping is in good condition and another letter from PPPEC to Syabas stating that MC and PPPEC would take responsibilities for the piping.

Roof top water tank.

2006-08-23T13:37:00.000+08:00

Next stage in the water issue is to check for any water leakage in the water tanks and internal piping. To do this we need water from syabas to fill up the 5 water tanks in the roof top. 3 tanks for consumer/domistic use and 2 tanks for bomba water tanks. Payments for the water was already made last month.

Based on the water tank measurement, the water quantity of 388.6m3 at the rate of 1.92 per m3 for the sum of RM746.11 was paid to syabas on the 4/7/06. This water will be pumped up to the roof top tank then leakage testing will be done.

To pump up the water, electricity is needed to supply current to the water pump motor. Generator(gen-set) in the Gen-Set room will be serviced and it will provide the electric to the water pump motor. Servicing of the get-set is in progress.

Hot tapping will be done by Tukang paip with Syabas's knowlendge. This involves the main pipe at the main road. I guess a portion of the road from the main road will be excavated.

This is the generator set in the gen-set room. A very high powered generator. This gen-set is being serviced and will be set up soon.

Another view of the gen-set.
