I'm in JMB for 8 months. I can tell you this.

It is a thankless job.
because of one simple fact. "Can't please everyone"


Residents complain security lacking. We upped the security to ban any non working access cards cannot enter the condo.
Then the same group complain aiya why so strict, we sometimes forget cards.

Residents complain leaking facility. Proceed to engage contractor and fix. Then the same group complain aiya why take so long one, cannot use the sauna.

As a committee.. I get to see first hand how people always take anything they can to complain. one issue solved, they'll move to complain another thing. its never ending. I've learnt to keep an eye shut and as long as the place is up to my own standard of upkeep, I'll backoff from the management company.

I will love my condo to implement this lol.

Not sure why TS object to it; unless TS is doing airbnb business which is an absurd to residents lol

Nope. I think I am pioneer use fingerprint to destroy homestay. They don’t know what hits them.

sorry halfway join this thread because someone quoted me

why is facial recognition destroying airbnb?

Good for residents. If not thieves may rent the Airnnb and then have a stealing spree once inside the compound. I think TS is doing the " unofficial Airbnb. "

lel, TS hilang liao

agreed with you

the worst part is it's always the same group of noisy ppl. They might not be the ones who bring the subject up but they will be the ones who pour oil over the fire. Like to act like they are the towkay but when ask them to take responsibility and work in JMB committee then suddenly shut up, say too old, retiree no need to do all these things.

Sorry but ur comment remind me of some things i had dealt with in the past.

tu la, next time be more involved with the community.

what is cob? we are looking to complain soon after some discussion with developer

i am attached in spore so need to get someone to sort it out.

to answer some doubts: - discussed with other residents... some owners are my own cousins and uncles.

1. No. Not discussed in AGM and only in monthly committee meeting which they decided on their own without resident knowing or consent. This all happen after new chairperson take over. Spending a lot of money out of a sudden and never think of saving. Afraid like 1mdb style.

2. We support if it was resident approved but NOT for the sake of someone else benefit (could be commission received or own grudge against air bnb)

3. Yes...good security but for a big family like us, having bought this unit as family home will limit access for some relatives and even friends. Keep in mind, many condos in penang is bought as a unit by investors or family or even company to use for their own when they need it instead renting hotel. Even some company have units or rent on long term to use for their employees stay when there is an event or meeting in penang.

4. We will face a lot of problems during cny when we go back to penang when we want to access this condo if we are not face registered and management office closed.

5. Conclusion: Resident not consulted and decision made by chairperson without thinking or respecting residents. So uneducated guy.

Other resident already contacted developer office. Not their work but the new committee and chairperson They say we need wait until the implementation to see what action to take.

Checked and they cannot simply change the access to our condo as this is not what it was originally built for. Our original snp signed back in 2012 already stated regarding the access using access card and terms and condition which we accepted before buying it. So cannot simply change it.
Any reliable lawyer to recommend? Or can i use a lawyer from Spore?

Was there any written black and white that the Management office are allowed to do changes without any consent?

any way to prevent those committee or president to siphon out the money by awarding those repair & maintenance to their friend or family? then they earn commission them self?

Normally this type of expenses is endorsed in AGM.
Did the AGM minutes stated the activity approved by residents to be carried out?

The changes that u mentioned cost a lot. Where do they get the money from???

Most prob got do AGM and majority voted. Maybe TS n neighbour didnt go

Get multiple quotation. However, after a while, those not selected won't bother to give you quotation. Haha.

got la...TS got mention why he object this

question is, u got read and try to see things from TS view or not? or you only concern with ur own view being valid?
