My condo there seem to have very heated competition by few to take up committee and alot drama la last year. Finally with the current chairman kick out previous chairman and the apparently current chairman is related the treasurer or something.
If this the case is it very easy for the chairman to just pocket the maintenance fund and all into own account or is it very well regulated?
Seem like very long time already and they should have called for agm few months ago but conveniently forgot. Even people complain the committee just ignore and all. Do you think there is personal gain?

QUOTE(alucard_my @ Jul 7 2015, 09:06 AM) Very easy. The chairman has two votes. So if he gets any members or especially office bearers to side him, he could put in all his contacts for the various jobs required in the condo. Some of the sure things that will happen when a change of committee occurs, for bad, new management company, new security, new landscaping, new janitor etc, each one collect a few % commission. If the committee is honest one, they'll so the same, but only to flush out old 'koncos' of the previous 'bad' committee. But they are answerable if they were to utilise the sinking funds. If I'm you, I'll propose myself as a committee member to safeguard the condo. My place already change committee 3 times since move in. Everytime change committee will change management company. QUOTE(Kevin Chan @ Jul 7 2015, 09:49 AM) President/Chairman can only sit 2 years and other position can only sit 3 years. Just make sure that there is a healthy change of people from time to time. I thought is only 1 yr but seems like this time the committee no news at all like bisu and pretend nothing happen din call agm. I just scared they slowly put money on pocket without anyone know and we bodoh bodoh pay maintenance every month. No audit or anything 1?

QUOTE(cherroy @ Jul 7 2015, 04:37 PM) Account needs to audited every year, you can't just take the money out without any reason, or transfer to any individual account. It is a CBT offence if simply take a public money (management fund) into personal use. Auditor will easily find out when audit the account time. But only buying engage with a specific contractor/company or cronyism, buying expensive etc is the grey area which should be aware of. Adopting open tender process, openness during committee meeting etc are several good way to reduce such a grey area. Who will be the responsible to audit the condo account? The is committee liable to some regulation? Cos from current situation the committee can just ignore and not do any audit
