You are correct, the Property Mgmt Company(MA) is rotating the committee to enable his people are in the MC.

We did manage to get an EGM last year via COB; But the MA using the proxy still got the better of us. The MA has been in this condo for around a decade. Their office staff knows most of the parcel owners (old and new owners) and this enables them to Canvass for Proxy from a number of the parcel owners. Especially those living in Singapore. Many of these owners rarely come to the condo and am guessing for no better person to turn to, they trust the building manager, office staff and MC wholeheartedly. We have tried various ways to obtain their contact details but have not been totally successful. So far out of the 500 plus parcel owner's, we currently have around 80 in our group.

One of the owner took them to Tribunal Strata on the Proxy Manipulation but the court said only the "wronged" parcel owner can log a case. Based on the proxy forms which the MC & MA had to surrender to this owner; this owner found a number of manipulation from non-signed proxy forms to forms which was not written by the owner but by the office staff (based on handwriting). The MA with their canvassed proxy; passes resolution which benefit them such as:-

1) Contract extension for the MA (Contract is worth RM30k per month)
2) Resolution to bank in the sinking fund portion into account 2 once they have sufficient collection.
3) Prevent other owners from becoming an MC. 

The MC intends to do a capital call for repainting and we are against it as this will put us into more debt. The MA states that we have RM5 Million in debt but has not done anything constructive to retrieve the payment from the defaulters.

Any suggestions or ideas will be of great help as we need to stop this group.

Thank you in advace.

Hi, I am just sharing my experience, we did face almost the same issue as u when I was in Klang. And managed to take over the MC.

We spent 2 to 3 yrs time to do it. Maybe I can share much in PM, as I am not sure it will be appropriate to share here.

Cheers

Exactly, yeah it's quite rare to find info about landed strata titles...

The insurance policy normally covers the structure of the building, common facilities and common property. Thus, you can see the sum insured of the building which is normally the cost of the building advised by the surveyorr in your certificate of insurance.

If your jmb/MC is wise enough, policy shld also cover flooding(many jmb/MC didn't not include this coverage as it requires separated policy aka. More money). Often, cases happened due to heavy rain, flooding due to clogged sewarage paip, this policy can cover the owner's lost and wise versa.

As for house content such as lose furniture, jewellery or appliances, owners need to purchase another policy at their own cost.

I would like to enquire, if a condo developer has submitted its application for the subdivision of the strata title on 21 Aug 2019 , when should the estimated date of the issuance be ?

Hi, seeking some info.

Understand that under SMA 2013 maintenance charges based on share unit. For properties prior to 1 June 2015 when the SMA first enacted, they must convert to share unit calculation instead of by sq ft.

However, my condo only revised to share unit calculation last year after getting the share unit allocations approvals from the Land dept. Can they backdate the charges to 1 June 2015, or they have to only start with the new charges once they get approval?

Thanks.

Hi all got a question.

1) My property is using share unit calculation for maintenance fee calculation.

However the calculated of share units is not calculated in accordance to the new strata scheme (this is an old condo).

For example, the accessory parcel is still weighed at 1 and not 0.5. We are charged maintenance on the full share units (on the title). What can we do?

2) Currently the management is not run by a professional management company.

Rather by the chairman and a hired building manager. They have not audited the accounts and they don't plan to. Where can we lodge a report?

Hi, if the piping leaking from meter in riser room to unit (piping is still at common area corridor wall), the cost should bear by owner or management?

It's the management cost. There were few cases like this while I was in the MC for my apartment.

It will be the owner above the unit if I am not mistaken. But if the owner refuse, you can complain to JMB. JMB got full power to investigate

Hi, I do not understand your question, do you mean you bought the unit before strata title, now strata title is ready? Just contact the developer for MOT.

If you want to sell now even without the strata title, you can just engage the lawyer and settle for you. Once the strata title is ready, the lawyer know what to do to transfer the name to new owner.

Anyway, I am not a lawyer, so I advise you to engage a professional S&P lawyer.

SMA is strict with criminalising for offences.

Strata unit owners are advised to get acquainted with the SMA, its rules and by-laws governing sub-divided buildings.

In fact, many property developers don't fully understand to comply with SMA. If you got time, go attend the tribunal hearing at Housing Ministry. You will be amazed with the excuses and reasons for no following the Strata Act

it's not that they don't know but more to the cost to pay if challenge is far less than the cost of them to comply.
saja pretend dunno.
