Not an issue anymore. It was just a temporary case of an employment agency taking up a short term lease in one of the shop lots. The people concerned have since vacated the premises and relocated elsewhere. Just a hiccup!

Every house owner/resident has a right to voice your views.
Granted that all comments and remarks are taken into account and discussed to find an acceptable solution to all parties concerned.
Securing and appointing a qualified and reputable property management company in Selangor is not a simple
matter.
Before we can embark on this exercise, how many owners as members are prepared to offer their personal time and knowledge in the committee and as office bearers, for a period of a year (365 days)?
The above positions require responsibilities and accountability to oversee the management team.
Added to that, monitoring the accounts is another major issue for the committee members.
Costs are expected to further increase, what not with the implementation of GST in April 2015.
Then, there are the legal framework to consider in the formation of the RA or Home owners company.

pre-owner can attend?

i will attend in this meeting. yesterday just landed KLIA and received a call from management chasing for maintenance fee, my lawyer ask me to hold first as my bank yet to release money. and management informed me to attend for today meeting. if u have time, pls attend too in order to know what is happening over that area.

This is a cat and mouse game. Given my personal experience where I stayed in a G & G community in Ampang and Kajang, these happenings are common in housing areas where colleges and universities are located throughout the country.
Such characters deem it as "fun" or for whatever personal reasons they have.
The guards have other specific duties to perform in their daily tasks and within their limited capacity under the law.
It is a challenge for any property management executive to handle the above issues without causing further aggression from the delinquent students.
There are no easy answers. The real culprits are the owners who rent out their property to students without any due care or concern for the affected residents like us.
The property management will have to address the existing excess vehicles entry & haphazard parking and deal with the offending students and their landlords appropriately.
Let's us move forward towards helping each other for the benefit of resident owners in Ken Rimba.

Hi EnjiLai,

Thanks for all the input and now i know that it is not easy to manage G&G community. Anyway, I will see you in today afternoon meeting.

Cheers,
- Felix

I am sure as registered pre-owner(s) in Ken Rimba, you are more than welcomed to today's open house event.
Being Father's day today, the other resident owners will have to find time to attend this happy occasion. I believe
light refreshments are being served.

Everyone are encouraged to attend. Nothing like meeting and learning from other experienced house purchasers.

Hi all Legian owner
Me and my wife are looking to buy a unit there for own stay.
We may be getting two units together as for my father in law also.
Anyone of you intend to let go especially those who bought two units side by side?
please pm me or contact me at 012-9609 806

Anything happening at 16/22? Seems like there's a gathering with a guard

huh... how come you dont know? there is a new management team from Genesis and today meeting purpose was get to know each other.

Any summary from the discussion of the meeting? I not manage to join it today

i really don't mind students staying next door as long as they follow the rules and regulations like every other residents and keep the peace and cleanliness of the place.
i don't have much time to stop by the management's office to write a complaint letter so i usually email them.
format is always: ongoing problem, explanation, then solution.
i think it is best that we still have management to settle these issues for us, even though it is a lot on their plate.
getting a house RA is not such a good idea as there is a lot to do and not many pensioners are around.
the security guards should be stricter and firm when it comes to letting people in.

Solution:
1. Limit the number of access card per house (eg max 8).

2. All vehicles with sticker should be registered and a copy be placed at the guard house. Any car coming in with sticker should be cross referenced to the list.

3. Any house expecting visitor vehicle staying overnight should register with management and obtain a visitor slip with duration of visit written on it. A copy should be given to guards and when cross referenced when visitor vehicle comes in. Once duration is over, visitor vehicle is to leave. Vehicle without sticker or visitor slip should be clamped and fined (this is how management can earn money), thus reducing number of unwanted vehicles.

This may be a lot of work but once done repetitively, it will become a norm. This is a successful method when dealing with a situation where there is alot of vehicles but not enough parking.
Guards must be more vigilant at night after midnight, inspect all vehicles outside house compound and clamp those who are not abiding the rules.

Once vehicles are dealt with, there will be less nuisance to residents. Creating a disciplined living environment will deter pesky humans with lack intelligence from entering as it seems troublesome to live in such an environment.

Well, i guess we know who's working for Ken Rimba social media then. Very well written by the way. Except for the part about residence taking blame for the indifferent attitude towards personal safety. I wouldn't have gone there buddy. It is a dangerous road to go down.

Hey there Felix. Any word on what went on during the meeting? I too was not able to join as i was out of the country. What with Father's Day and all. Do keep us posted yeah? Thanks mate.

following this thread very keenly as I think Jimbaran would probably face similar challenges once we are on board next year.

Your positive feedback counts. Property management and security company should carry out an evaluation. Any improvement to the safety and security will definitely be a plus for every resident.

It was a very hot afternoon. Met two of my neighbors. We don"t meet each other at all as our working hours differ.
With more group activities in future, we can have the opportunity to meet other residents.

like that roughly how much.....

We are a group of concerned residents living in this gated community.

If at all, despite our private & busy lifestyle and background, we as Malaysians are not prepared to act and care for our neighbors in an emergency or watching out for intruders and other undesirable elements around us, I can't say anything else over the above remarks.

The introduction of security measures by the management company are but a deterrent to criminal activities.
Personal safety for our loved ones and oneself is still the individual responsibility.

Like other individuals who have their personal views and concern, you can make your own conclusion and decide on your options where you want to stay.

We will do our best to achieve our objective.

Managing people staying in a neighborhood in this country does pose serious problems to the management company.

However, good governance is achievable when interested house owners care for their properties and value their investments.

Only too happy to share my "limited complimentary knowledge" in housing issues with concerned house owners.

Good day, mate!
