I can answer ur questions. I used to be in such committee before.
Bunch of residents will form the committee on volunteer basis. If u can, join it. It's not troublesome, yes take abit of ur time periodically but not really a full time thing.
For non paying owners, committee will make things difficult for them don't worry.
Can block any construction work or stuff until they clear the outstanding fees. They have to register as visitor to enter in.
No, cannot stop owner from accessing the house, just make it troublesome.
When u buy into gng, there is a binding guideline policy to follow. Every owner agreed to it.
Yes not fair for paying members but we follow law and order. Just because ppl steal but u work hard doesn't mean u should follow bad practices.
Paying maintenance per quarter upfront is commonly practised so that the sub committee cash collector no need to keep approaching owners to collect money monthly. The collector usually is a resident.
Likely when committee members start to quit, committee may opt to outsource it to management company to ease committee from spending too much of their time to run the gng.
Your money goes to maintaining the gng, other misc rubbish, grass cutting, security, other expenses like utitles or improvement. Yes technically gov will deploy contractors to cut grass or collect your housing rubbish but they won't do a fantastic job. Committee hire more contractors to help make gng more cleaner. Just think it as tuition for ur kids.
90% of all newly formed committee are usually new at managing committee. So understandable if certain things seem abit weird, slow or lacking. Hard to get ex committee members who moved to your new gng, and get them to join because it's a volunteer job. Not everyone likes it.
New committee group have to learn slowly how run the gng successfully.
As for money, don't be too worried. Committee are residents, owners. They are also worried about their own house.
As for maintenance fee, between 50rm to 300rm for non facility gng. Facilities mean pool, gym room etc.
How committee calculate is based on how many houses in gng, what are the possible expenses, how much to save surplus for future improvements, sinking fee. Also dependable on number of guards
Rm100 is cheap.
Mine is rm150 and rm200. Two houses in two different gng.
U be surprised how many rich owners complain their fee of rm150 damn expensive but also complain guards not enough to safeguard. (Rm150 u probably can get max 4 guards per shift 12hours)
Committee is new. Need abit of time to let them handle.
thx for the info. yes they take times to do their job. guess i hv no choice as to follow for the 1st 2 mths.
The things that i dont like my current committee is they dont like question. when you ask, is like you challenge them...
