All committee members are volunteering themselves. That's a great improvement! The first meeting is currently scheduled on 9 Apr 2010. Announcement to be sent out.

The turn out was not that satisfactory. It is partly due to Ching Ming and many members had to travel outstation. However we did meet the quorum to run AGM. All attendants signed up and obtain a ballot paper for voting.

All resolutions had been passed unanimously.

Both our invited guests came around 11:45pm while we still do the election.

Mr. Steven Chin introduced himself as our local council in charge of Puchong Hartamas area. He promised to take up all issue we brought up to him.

Mr. Chang Kim Loong explained there is currently no laws on Gated and Guarded Community. This GnG thing is a marketing tactic by housing developer to attract house buyers because of rising crime around populated area such as Selangor. Many developers usually abodon the management of GnG after some years.

For Puchong Hartamas, while we don't have any existing laws to protect us, we need to take up the job which is running this Residents Association to manage the security services.

Furthermore, our current GnG standard is endorsed by Selangor Government. The Federal Government has yet to come out any general law on GnG.

The Federal Government need to make a lot of changes to existing laws in order to come out GnG law. This may take a few years. Meanwhile we are one of the existing samples that our government can study.

Mr. Chang also gave us some reading material and printout to read. There are actually many things around GnG!

We have video tape the entire session. The video will be available online soon.

Meanwhile have a look for some photos.

Resolutions

The Committee has identified some resolutions requiring the attention of the PHRA members. They are:

Resolution 1: Correct typo in existing PHRA Constitution at Fasal 7(8)

A typo at Fasal 7(8) has a reference to point 8(1) and 8(2). The correct one should be 7(1) and 7(2). This error is confirmed by cross comparison with the template provided by Registrar of Society, which is the sample used when applying for our association. You can download the Constitution freely online at http://puchonghartamas.com/.

Resolution 2: The RM50 monthly Security Fees should include amounts for other PH related expenditure

While the Supplement Agreement mentions the use of RM50 is for Security Fees, it does not specifically say the excess to be used for Sinking Fund. For the time being RM50 is sufficient to cover existing Security Fees with some surplus. There is a need to authorize other PH related expenditure apart from Security Fees from surpluses. Hence, there is no need for additional fees to be collected from residents for the time being.

Resolution 3: Change of bank signatory authorization limit for paying Security Services Fees and to ratify payments that was made on Nov '09, Dec '09, Jan '10, and Feb '10

The current authorized limit of RM500 is obviously insufficient.

Resolution 4: Change of authorization limit for other PHRA expenses

The current limit is the same RM500. This is deemed not practical and it is suggested that the limit be increased to RM3,000.

Resolution 5: Second bank account

It has been advised by Registrar of Society to maintain a separate account for PHRA membership contributions only. As such a second bank account needs to be opened for PHRA membership contributions only.

Resolution 6: Appointment of independent licensed audit firm to audit PHRA account

 

Thank you. 

Yeak Nai Siew
Asst. Secretary
