Dear Sifu's,

Need help to take down the MC and Property Management Company(MA) at my condo. The MC & MA have been in this place for over a decade and have wisely used the ACT 757 to hold on to power. The MA is in control of who comes into the MC and prevents outsiders to become an MC. MA canvasses for proxy from owners and places their employees as proxy to vote for their agenda and benefit. This condo is located in PD and majority of the owners are not resident. They are only about 50 concerned residents and the balance are either Singaporean or Malaysian owners who come here once in a while. The MA staff is the front end facing owners and have built a good relationship with many of the owners. Thus making it easier to get their proxies. The concerned owners are unable to get access to the parcel owner's list from the Mgmt Office thus its quite a task to build up the opposition camp.

What can I do to overthrow this tyrant? Any feedback will be appreciated and hopefully its a constructive feedback.

Admin, please delete and advice if this post is irrelevant.

Thank you in Advance.

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.
