1. i have no problem with the new car access system. this is to protect the residence. even when having valid car sticker, the guard did the right thing to stop you from doing so. it shows, there is no favoritism. you make a mistake, and wanna blame others. notice were given to inform residence regarding the access system. just because you left the access card at home, this not give you the right to go in or out as you please. there are rules to follow. you're at fault!
2. the 50 buck are refundable when you no longer stay there. anyway, nothing comes free in this world.
3. facilities are well managed after new management took over. it need time and money to start implementing things that was left out. water? i do not have any problem with it.
4. burglary happens everywhere. not only in one place. anyway, newly camera system have been installed at the entrance, exit and inside the lifts. ppl need to work together to solve this problem by informing the guard if seeing something suspicious.
5. i pay extra to get another parking lot inside. i have no qualms over it. it is the management rule. you want convenience, pay for it. if wanna complaint, park outside. it is as easy as it is. no one is forcing anyone to park outside. as ppl use to say, park at ur own risk.
i have been staying here for 16 years. yes, during the early years, there are hiccups! it happen everywhere, not just only this condo. now, have seen much improvement. it is getting better each day as long as residence pay their maintenance fees for the management to start improving the place. this is my experience. the condo have chinese, indian and arab makan stores, mini markets, sundry shops, laundry services, piano classes, cyber cafe, gym and so on. i have morning "nescafe" most of the time downstairs, and have a walk in the garden every morning or late evening.
Well, in all fairness, giantdan's comments (or complaints) are a year old. Even if it seems harsh then, I am very sure things have improved by leaps and bounds today.
It's good that residents of OUG speak out and share his experience. The naysayer and yeasayer can say all they want, but nothing beats the testimony of an actual resident.
Thanks burn22 for your comments.
