GOSSIP ON THE AIRWAVES

I heard it from a little bird that the meeting held on 18 Sep 2016 did not go as smoothly as hoped.

Apparently, the MA implied that the lifts in the estate were not safe. That the recent $1million upgrade didn't change the main cables ... or something

Management Committee members who happened to be present took umbrage at this outrageous claim and words such as 'SUE YOU' were liberally bandied about. 

The ancient lifts and the imminent danger they posed were a potent signing tool in Rd1 and Rd2. Alas, in Rd3 they had been renewed/refurbished and were good to go for another 20 yrs. The chairman of the SC (being an engineer) was instrumental in getting them replaced and sat on the Management Committee for just that cause. He oversaw the works carried out and can attest to any matter concerning the lifts.

Is he now going to sit back and let the MA rubbish his project? Is he going to turn around and tell SPs that he allowed $1,000,000 of the estate's sinking fund to be wasted on lifts that STILL pose a danger?

Surely not. If the MA did indeed imply that the lifts were unsafe, I hope the SC chairman will come out strongly in their defence and shoot down any such malicious rumour to the contrary.

The signing has flatlined and so we shall no doubt be inundated with all kinds of crazy scare tactics to get people to sign. 

Let's remind ourselves of the ridiculous 'Tilting staircase' claim from Rd 2.

MA Monologue & Broken Promises Sep 18 2016

I was not at the Monologue/signing session on 18 Sep 2016 as I had an urgent engagement with divine providence. Be that as it may, there could not have been much 'dialogue' or discussion as the SPs were handicapped by not having access to the relevant material beforehand. When figures are being thrown out or statements made, who can counter-argue effectively on the spot (save one Senior Counsel I can attest to)? One eye-witness account said the meeting was poorly attended with the usual already-signed brigade warming the seats. Others stood around but said nothing. I hope the MA/SC does NOT see this as a sign of approval of their low RP! The opposite is the case; no show means no interest.

Explosive Letter from SC V.Chairman Mr. VASAN

 THE RESERVE PRICE –LACK OF CONVICTION AND 14TH S.C.MEETING MINUTES 

(I HAVE EDITED OUT THE FULL NAMES EXCEPT FOR VASAN)

Some members of SC wanted me badly out of the SC in the 14th SC meeting on the grounds that I broke the code of “ their “conduct by addressing some concerns on the issue of current RP to SPs on their “sacrosanct” RP. They did not hesitate to break the law, or claim authority more than what the law of the land confers on SC, to expel me, instead of addressing some concerns of some SPs ,be it few or many . I was troubled when they said in the last SC meeting that sharing some thoughts on RP to the Sps is almost an unpardonable crime, when “SC” has fixed it. I have all along assumed SPs are the ultimate authority in collective sale .Prior to that, some bedlam was created in SC ,while the issue was keenly discussed with a receptive MA . I was sent taunting emails ( which I do not wish to publicise for sake of maintaining the dignity of TC SPs) ,perhaps expecting me to resign on my own. When I stood my ground , they did not mind disgracing themselves with an unlawful act which they were bound to withdraw. I am not surprised that they that they have chosen not to put up the minutes of the 14TH SC meeting on the notice boards to notify the nullification of their illegal decision, even after two weeks ,though Strata Title Act requires that the Minutes must be put up within seven days, as it would expose their folly to SPs at large. But I bear no personal grudge as I have to bear my cross . 

As I have received several calls for many SPs on above issue , I owe it to SPs to explain the background and circumstances to clarify the matter from the proceedings/correspondence of SC itself. 

Will you walk into my parlour...

 ...said the spider to the fly. Looks like they are fishing for SPs.

It doesn't seem to be a proper meeting at all but an all day event aimed at collecting a few more signatures. There is a 'flip-side' to the flyer ( flew in my door with the breeze...) which is just a rehash of the same old retarded questions found on the FAQ. Also, you have to bring along your IC ... just in case they manage to persuade you to sign there and then.

The flip side:

Drama on the Sale Committee

It had to come to this, the only thinking member on the Sale Committee - the Vice Chairman - has been ordered to leave the sale committee by the Chairman et al. The VC will not toe the line with regard to the Reserve Price and has a lot to say about the slapdash way in which business is being done.

What order of events has led to this shabby state of affairs?
