Proposals for PV10

The JMC feels that the area around the guardhouse is very dark in the night. We wish to brighten up the area with some decorative lights to reflect the image of the condo and for safety
reason.


We wish to make a request to DBKL to turn this road into one way which will greatly ease the congestion at the guardhouse. With one way , cars which are going out will not cross into cars which are coming in.
Before we do that, we need to get the some feedback from the residents with regards to our proposals. If you are travelling to the city, you will not be incovenienced but if you are travelling
to Teratai mewah aparments, you may need to circle around our condo before you reach the Indian temple heading towards teratai mewah. There shall be pros and cons. Therefore, your views on the matter are important for us to make a decision.
Goodnight and have a nice day.

  1. Yes. I agree that we should put some decorative lights infront of the guardhouse. However, we must work out the cost and must budget it carefully. Announce the proposal with the budget to all residents for consideration. I think no one resident wishes to pay more maintenance fee.

  2. dear jack,

    You can rest assured that such a small project will not result in the increase in the maintenance fees. On the contrary, it will enhance the image of the our condo besides providing safety to the residents.
    The JMC will not do anything that causes the budget to run at a deficit.

  3. Dear See,

    i don't understand why only the length of condo perimeter alongside the guard-house is without decorative light whereas other stretches of the perimeter are well-ligted. Who installed the existing decorative lights? Developer or management? Oversighted? who should bear the cost of installing new decorative lights?
    Plis advise.
    Be reminded that every cent that we saved is saved.
    The primary objective for our future spending should be on safety and security enhancement.
    Image creation is secondary for which we shouldn't over-indulged in unless we hv excess money to spare. In short, do not misspend the fund for unnecessary and impractical projects/activities and save enough for raining days.

    To turn the road fronting our gurad-house is an excellent idea. Plis follow thru to hv it implemented asap.

  4. Dear raymond,

    There are decorative lights all along the perimeter wall. I am referring to the area behind the guardhouse. it is rather dark in the night. we just want to brighten up the area since it is the point of entry and exit. Human traffic at this area is also heavy. With cars moving in and out, an accident may occur if the place is too dark.

    The reason why we use decorative lights is because these lights fit the image of our condo. If our properties are flats, I would have suggested spot lights or normal lights like those in the car parks.

  5. Dear See,

    as long as we don't opt for high-end decorative lights, the intended spending on safety ground is justifiable. The intention of my previous post is to remind JMC to bear in mind our hierachy of needs when we spend, prioritising safety and security b4 proceeding towards self-actualisation by image creation. We hv to spend within our means.

  6. Dear owners,

    before we carry out any projects, our main concern is the cost. is it within the budget to do so? is it nacessasary? are there any objections from majority of the owners? is it an added value project?
    as for the lights, should the JMC agree to do it, we shall go for something practical, serves its purpose and fit into the surrounding.

  7. I totally agree if the road in front of the entrance to be one way road.

  8. Dear See,

    observed at 8.15am today some ceiling lights in the car parks and corridors of the ground floor were still on. Need justification for doing so as the day was already being brightened up by the sunlight. Cost saved from cutting down power wastage will increase our maintenance fund size.
    Mgt to take note.

  9. I will always agree to any idea to brighten up dark areas. Be it decoratively as long as it doesn't cost much. About placing some stools behind the guard house, i object to it. Students will loiter at that place and create a nuisance.

    Also being uncovered, people who are sitting at those stools are exposed to danger from irresponsible idiots who throw stuffs from their balcony.

  10. Refer to the proposal of changing the road infront of the guardhouse to 1-way, I see no difference at all. We all know Malaysians' attitude. Who cares it is a 1-way or 2-way? After all, police officers are not coming to station here in residential area.

    Not only unable to ease the traffic congestion, it might create danger to some minority so called "obedient" road users who do not expect a car comes out from the junction there in opposite way.

  11. If we go around the ground floor, we can observe that the walls are very dirty. Esp around the area outside the lift lobby. This is really a bad image to all the residents here. It is like sort of low cost flat of bad-management condo. And I see this is very disgusting!

    We owners of course will not do that to our own premise. But we also difficult to stop those "aliens" doing so. This has badly hit the image of our property and the quality of our management. We must bear in mind that the ultimate value of the condo is very much dependant on the quality of the management.

    Any idea or suggestion to improve this situation? How much will it cost us to paint the wall in the ground floor? Is this another financial burden to us? Any better solution?

    ReplyDelete
  12. dear jack,

    giving it a new coat of paint will not cost much but it not resolve the problem. they will kick the wall and stain it again. the only solution is to tile up the wall but this will incur a big amount of our money.
    we shall try to get a sponsor to it block by block. this will take time.

  13. Dear See,

    good to conduct a cause & effect analysis, brainstorm with your members for the most cost-effective solutions. As i mentioned earlier in my previous post, one of the main culprit is motor-bike owners who allow their bike tyres to create black and untidy imprint on the walls while parking their vehicles. Proposed solution is to put gurad-rails at strategical parts of the walls to prevent the tyres from accidentally kissing the walls. Meanwhile, put up some effective visual control system to
    educate and guide the vehicle owners to improvise their behaviours. We can prescribe different solutions for each and every true causes to stay effective in tackling the problems.

  14. Dear See,

    i agree with Block A Owner on brightening up the dark zones but attempt to brighten up the bright zones (esp those at close proximity to the perimeter of our building) in the day time is termed as power wastage. As such, mgt should conduct a thorough investigation on the latter to reduce power wastage and thus saving cost.

  15. Hi, this is not related to this post but a suggestion on another matter.

    The parking lots for motorbikes is very limited inside the compound. Is it possible to add motorbike parking lots on the ground floor? Not many will park on the first floor because it is quite deserted and items such as helmets and mirrors can be stolen.

    I also would like to know why a certain part of the motorbike parking lot near block B has been cordoned off? Granted that those areas do not have parking lots painted on the ground but as it is the space is not being used for any other purpose. Then why block motorbikers from using the space?

    ReplyDelete
  16. one way? NO please...it will be very inconvenient for us to drive around the condo. the reason for it to be congested is because, one row is occupied by the taxi stand, and the second row is occupied by the cars parking there and situation is worsen by the chain you guys place in front of the condo to avoid people from parking.
    just clear 1 row and it is enough for us to pass through and flow. dont have to prepare any paper work asking DBKL to turn it into one way...

  17. Dear Jack / Anonymous,

    JMC did explore ways and means, inclusive the one proposed by Anonymous, to resolve the traffic woes but to no avail thus far if u mind to go thru the chronological events of the issue of concern. Unless u hv a better solution than turning the road one way, we should be supportive of JMC's effort in nipping the problem at its bud. The problem will definitely persist if nothing is done due to excessive worries. Plis bear in mind that anything in excess, be it music, food, assumption or worry, is poisonous.

  18. Dear Raymond57,

    You really think that people will stick to one way, do you? Think about the one way road near Steven's corner and the low cost flat there.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Dear Jack,

    b4 Mr See made the proposal, he should hv conducted some surveys in the surrounding areas. The following factors are amongst the attributes for the success of the one way road system :
    1. simplicity of the road network. Our road network is not as complex as Steven Corners.
    2. light traffic volume.
    3. proper and effective traffic signages being put up.
    4. promotion of the system by educating and sensitising the road users, esp our residents.
    5. Our guards can double up as traffic policemen to oversee compliance to the system at its infant phase. Steven Corner's does not hv such privilege.

    We don't hv to look far and beyond for the successful one way road system. Platinum Walk and our internal one way road system are amongst the exemplary models.

  20. Dear See and Raymond57,

    I disagree to change the road into 1 way.

  21. It's a nice job being done here. I just sold my unit here 4 rooms in block B, 280k due to the cleaniess & better management. Thanks Mr.See for improving a lot in PV10, as my buyer who bought my unit & comparing with other condo they said it's well maintain in PV10.

    Hopefully once Parkson & Tesco coming up here will be getting a more higher price if the JMB keeps improving as they are doing it now.

  22. True mr liew, I checked with platinum victory developer office the current price Rm230 per square feet which you need to multiply with your square feet of your unit.So the market value for 4 rooms 1272sf should be around RM292,000 current value. It will raised up once parkson and others completed.

    Since Mr.See are doing a good job I think the value should raise if we keep maintaining well here.Well done Mr See.

    Since I'm talking about the value of our condo, I would like to take this opportunity to say that hope all the owners beware of the agent they appoint & make sure the Property Agent company are registered & well establish. As they are many many cases of fraud & scam being done by property agent not all of them but some of them. Before signing anything make sure read the S&P draft or appoint your own lawyer & ask them to read it the S&P draft before signing anything. As clause on the S&P are very very important. Taking Extra Precautious are better then ever.

    The tricks of the Agent :

    They will publish lower price on their advertisment just to make people call them & ask bout the property & from then they will proceed.....Please please make sure you visit their Office and make sure they are licence property agent company. Sometimes they just operates with their hand phone.

    Why I'm selling this as my sister was 1 of this victim & I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

  23. Good Topic, Agent! full with dirty tricks...

    Haaaa...Im looking for another unit here for my cousin brother, I saw an advertisment outside of our condo near the lamp post stated 240k, i called him up and he told me sold already....but he can find another unit for me lor....Funny about this is that I saw the advertisment the day he put it but already sold!! as my car always park outside near the lamp post.

    This happen many times when I look for PV10 advertisment that has shocking price!I been looking for another unit, the lowest I can get is 270k 4 rooms student tenanted unit.....

    At last then i realised this a trick and a way to attract potential buyer to call them then use their service to get a unit here with different price...then automatically we use them as our agent!! SMART & CROOK :))))

    But they are agent out there which are reliable & honest which can be trusted.

  24. Mr Liew Chin Tong,

    Since you have made a quickbuck from of PV10, why not you give something back for the JMC's effort? Say like 2 ping pong table which might cost less than 1 percent of what you have earned. On it will be written it was donated by you and PV10 will forever remember you as long as it still exists.

  25. Once the Parkson,tesco and also specialist center are build surely the price will be higher. I was told that Parkson is confirm but im not sure bout the others.

    My neighbour sold her unit for 270k 4 months back.

    I think I will just keep my unit till all this are completed hehehehhee

    I have a question to Mr.See :

    - How does the Property agent smsing to all the owners? how do they get all of the owners numbers? What happen to the privacy of the owners?? Does the management office takes $$$ to leak out all the owners information to the property agent???

    As I always do received sms from property agent & also my neighbours do, we were wondering how do they get our info details.

    This is quite a dangerous thing as information of owners being leak to outsiders especially property agent. Even 4 days back I received a call from agent asking if I want to rent or sell my house.

    Sometimes get irritated with calls & sms from agent. The main point is that how do the agents get our contact information?

    Mr.See you have done a good job managing PV10. Keep it Up.....

  26. Dear CT Liew,

    Block A Owner's request is fair and square. It's just like thinking of the source of water when u start quenching yr thirst. Morever, yr name is engraved on the sponsored items for happy remembrance of yr token contribution. This is certainly a case of well-spent money on worthy cause.

  27. Mr.Liew that would be a great contribution! as for what Mr.Siva is highlighting is correct, I do received sms and calls from the property agents. I tought the owners information should be private and confidential.

    On the agent matters if you are thinking of selling or buying you should go for a reputable & well known real estate company's, they are more professionals. worry less....

    I had a friend who have sold his unit June last year for 250k and now he's regretting....he should waited or rent out his unit.

  28. I'm an agent and also consultant for property management.I would like to give my 2 cents on this topic

    * Platinum Development Sdn Bhd - Clean record & reputable developer.

    * Upcoming Project around Setapak PV's - tesco, parkson & hospital

    * Distance to KL town & also located under Kuala Lumpur not Selangor.

    * Public Transport, Schools, Shops etc etc

    * Located near to TAR, UIA & etc etc

    This are few of the points that need to look which makes PV10 are booming.

    I could easily say once the main project have completed this location would be happening.

    It's easy to know if the location are good or not, look at phase 2 that are under construction, FULLY SOLD.

    For example Seri Maya condominium in Setiawangsa in fornt of LRT station, when bought in the range of 220 - 250k, I mean the 1st phase, but now it's 400k & above. Just it's near to Jalan Ampang & exactly in front of LRT station. Does PV's around setapak could.....? Depends how you manage your condo too.

    They are also owners just let their unit empty and waiting for tesco & others to be completed and sell it off.

    Keep your Condo Clean, Secured & Well Maintain. Main Price Factor.

    Just my 2 cents on this.

  29. I saja call semalam 1 agent dia advertise 245k dekat tiang lampu luar condo. Dia terus cakap unit tu sudah di jual hahahahahaa Kalau you mau nanti saya tolong cari dekat sini.....tapi itu harga 245k tak bole dapat sebab itu owner desperate mau jual itu pasal murah...hehehehehe

    Memang trick hebat betoi. hehehehehe Agent Busted!!!

  30. I call the developer office, they said here the current value 275k - 280k for 4 rooms. You can call them and ask too, wasting time asking agent the price, better call the developer though.

  31. Dear owners,
    as far we are concerned, we have no whatever dealings with any of the property agents. Selling and buying of properties here are out of our control. The JMC main duty to focus on maintenance of Platinum properties.

    We had also given strict instructions to the management company not to dessiminate any details of owners to the anybody.

  32. dear owners,
    if the JMC has done a good job, credit should go to all the committee members and not only me.
    it takes collective effort and co-operation among the committee members to bring PV10 to a higher level

    ReplyDelete
  33. Dear See and buddies,

    we hv enough update on market price for our properties. Lets cut the topic off for good and refocus on our priorities. Excessive and prolonged distractions will hinder our effort to achieve our primary objectives, i.e to convert PV10 into the most beautiful, wonderful, safest & cleanest place with highest security to reside.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I will look into sponsoring something for PV10 in the near future. I will drop by one of this day to PV10.

    Credit should be given to the committee members for their performance on keeping PV10 clean & secure.

    My last advise to owners here make sure you check the value here from the developer office before selling it as thats the practice that I did before I sell my unit.

    Hope for the best for PV10.

    Best Regards,

  35. Mr Liew I don't agree with you when you say it's clean.

    Example: The maintenance guy change the glass door at L1 (Level 1) parking. Till today the broken glass are at the wall, even though the door have been change but the broken glass are still there, why not the cleaner or maintenance guy who change it to throw the glass? It's still there till today after 2 weeks of changing the door glass.

    The wall at the lift L1 Block C dirty they never re paint back. The floor also dirty. How could you say that this committee perform? Even my mother who comes and visit me asking me why it's dirty at your lobby parking. I tell her our committee are doing their best.

    Sometimes we do feel the committee sleeping. Don't tell me that there are no committee member in block C that don't realise this. If I'm wrong the committee are not sleeping on this matter.

    If any owner can view the L2 parking (open parking) roof top from their balcony, you can see a lot of rubbish, shirts,pants on top of the roof of the parkings. No one clean it up!
    So how can Mr.Liew you say it's clean.

    No need to go that far, just look at the Lift sometimes you see a rubbish in the morning then at night you will see the same rubbish are still there.

    Sorry if my words are too deep but I'm paying for the maintenance too, so I feel it.

  36. Dear Anonymous,

    u should address the issues of concern to the right persons/committee instead of barking at a wrong tree. CT Liew is no more our resident. Going after him will not hv yr issues solved.
    We need people like u who is eyeful to details to provide our JMC hilites and lolites for immediate actions to be taken. Going forward, lets work as an effective team to get things done the soonest possible.

  37. Dear anonymous,
    we take note of your concerns over cleaniness at your block. PV10 is a vast place. Committee matters are wage earners like you. they have a family to support and they are also volunteers. we don't spend a single sen of the maintenance fund for ourselves except for plain water during our regular meetings.we don't have the time to be everywhere.
    As residents, you serve as our eyes. you have every right to make a complaint to the management if you see something is not right.Do exercise that right. If the problem is not resolved, refer the issue back to us and we shall follow up on the matter.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi, let me introduce myself I'm Dr.Aminah just bought a unit in PV10 & I came across this blog at your notice board.

    Frankly speaking what anonymous said about the cleaniness problem at L1 parking lobby & the glass which are still there at block C which I also came across this as I bought a unit in this block recently.

    He got a point there, even I came few times there to see my unit, I think the broken glass are still there.

    The fact is that that no action being taken or ignorance of it clearly.

    It's no a matter of who should complaint or ... it's a matter does the worker of this condo don't realise it? or this issue not being brought up in this blog? Since this matter have been brought up here why not the committee let the management knows about it.

    As my opinion I think that this blog are for communication between the resident here & issues..etc etc.

    Since this have being brought up why not Mr.See you do something rather then waiting....

    plis update us on the feasibilty of the following proposals :
    1. mgt to reduce power wastage by conducting regular audit on ceiling lighting.

    2. Dirty walls/pillars. Janitors to take care of the cleanliness of the walls/pillars/doors
    on FOC basis. Erect guard-rails at strategical
    portion of the walls to prevent bike tyres from accidentally imposing dirty imprint on them.
