grin, do you realise that the maintenance fees you pay right now covers all maintenance and utilities charges? The rest of unused funds go into profit for SLF. Do you seriously think that when our own Managegement Committee is formed, SLF will come out and say, "here, take back these unused funds"? The points highlighted are obviously bothering resident enough, that these issues are brought up over and over again in this forum and in all resident's meeting. Do you seriously think your approval is required here? Just because you have no problem driving in, does it mean all cars come in with the same ease. Have you seen the size of some of the cars here? Yes, somke and oil dirties the pits. But, if the pits are constructed of surfaces that are easier to maintain, wouldn't that prolong the life of the pits, rather than re-painting the pits every 6 months? In the first place, using painted cement top is totally unhygenic! And to think you are concerned with the use of maintenance fee!! In the long run, this is going to cost our MC a lot of money to upkeep. Do the math.
On the issue of landscaping. No one mentioned that the landscaping is bad. It's just cheap! there are also many bald patches in some areas of the project. Is that good?
Keeping the fountain switched off is a good way of conserving energy. Why not just switch off the air-con in the guard house as well? Or the spotlights shining on the "Park Green" signs? Or eben dim the car park lights further, just because you are already home?
You probably also don't have kids for you to worry about the close proximity of the reflexology rocks and the playground. I think residents with kids in the family are concerned with this issue.
I do not think we have a lot of time arguing amongst ourselves about these issues. They are real and require immediate attention. If you think these issues do not bother you or your family, don't sign the petitions when they come by. But just don't come to the forum and complain about issues that only affect you! I think that's a little selfish and totally goes against the code of conduct of communal living.
