bye bye money 

I need advice as now my family a bit upset. They inform  me one of our condo have implement face recognition system to replace the current normal access card system without getting views from residents. System already installed and going to be implemented.  This a a new condo of only less than 3 years. No other condo has done this or change a system in such a new condo... so must be some $$$ involved.

I also think they cannot simply install or change the current system given by developer right? And they cannot use maintenance money for this kind of implementation. If they want to use sinking fund, need resident approval and meeting. So i suspect they break laws. What action can take?
Further more we will have a lot of problem if use the new system. As this is a family home/holiday home, we often have different family members frequent the place. Sometimes friends stay there too. Don't expect all to register face. And they are old and kids too. Even to walk in need scan face which currently we just use access card.

Mom also mentions a lot of money spending after new committee formed and new chairperson. Spend money like water. Doing extra wiring, add unnecessary items ... everything is about spending money and not saving. Whom/which authority can i write in to? I am based in Spore but do fly back often.

Need some opinion before ask my family to consult our developer lawyers on what actions can be taken.

Value valuable advise.

Residents who are not owners have no right to attend general meetings. Only owners (who may not necessarily be residents) can attend general meetings.

And many ignorantly thought that many matters need approval in general meetings when in fact there are not many things that require their approvals.

What sort of things that require owners' approvals? Examples: raising maintenance and sinking fund rates, changing or adding new by-laws and electing committee members.

Im renting. But the owner me to go. Since im staying. So i think depends

Who knows, ts say his family and all neighbors also don't know.

But ts now cannot post because limit reached

newfags got quota post?

normally before implementing certain things, like security, residents will definitely received a letter from the management. owners should attend jmb meetings if meeting is held for the residents. it is where, yes and no sokongan will be agreed upon when making a decision to implement whatever is needed. if tak attend, it is not the management fault...

Prev president even worse. Songlap away 500 plus k. Until now cannot catch bec no concrete proof. Managed to drove her away.

Committee members are often target of malicious rumours, whether true or false, no thanks to people like you. It's a thankless job.

Even receive report from town council (DBKL), MACC and lawyer letter

My colleague been through that stage just because the resident not happy with the new calculation of maintenance fee (change to share unit). Basically DBKL don't give a fcuk if they receive this kind of complain letter as long JMC/MC committee comply with it.

Did your said family member, actively join the official MC / JMB meeting. ?

Like many have said here, JMB/ MC / RA is a tireless,  thankless job.....

My advice to your said Family member.... join n be a Committee lah...
I've been in 1 JMB/ MC for 3 terms for my condo.

Now I'm  chairman for RA of my landed strata, 2nd term d. B4 that 2 terms being the Secretary.

And yes we are a very successful RA. 80% active payments monthly. We are a 250 landed property housing estate. Very small in size. have a 4 acres Clubhouse,  a swimming pool, gymnasium, a 2 acres Surau

With half a million RM in FD. Targeting to up to rm1m in 2 years time.

Wrong. The majority approval that is needed is during a committee meeting. Not every matter is required to be approved in a general meeting. Or else change security firm or lifts also must wait for AGM or EGM.
