Is our Gen-Set working? Its very important coz at least during the period of "black-out" our lifts and corridors' lights can still functioning.
The most important question to ask is.Is the gen-set still there or not ?
Dear En Jamal,
It is sad to say that even with one week of advance notice, our generator still failed to function. People were trapped in the lift due to this and the bomba has to be called.
The explanation given by our building manager did not make sense.
What are we going to do about this? Is our building manager qualified to manage our building? Is it safe to put our lives in his hands? Is he "Crisis Management" trained? What are the counter-measures taken to prevent such things from happening?
Thanks Anonymous & Mr. Lee,
Yesterday was a real disaster and it really proofed incompetencies in many areas. After what happened, I dread to think of the consequences if other calamities eg. fire occurs. I was with the Building Manager soon after the power cut as I wanted to ensure the gen-set works as assured a day earlier. But as soon as we realiesd this was not to be (the boom gate not working, the lifts stopped etc), we immediately went to the gen set room and it was confirmed it failed to auto start. The BM tried to manually run it but still it failed. By this time I knew we are facing a major crisis and the BM was frantically contacting the relevant people and trying do start the gen set with instructions over the phone. After all efforts then only it was ascertained that the batteries failed. Asked why it was tested ok earlier, the BM replied that the earlier test was done when there was normal electric supply thus enabling the batteries to recharge??!
While this was going on I enquired what the guards were doing to tackle those trapped in the lifts and were told that there is only one guard available that morning (in fact the BM was the standby guard that night !!!)
After this, I totally gave up as there's nothing much I could do and had to leave for an appointment.
The JMB has requested the Management to give a detailed report on this matter upon which we will make the necessary decisions after deliberating futher.
I was not home to experience it but I was shocked as hell to hear that the gen set & the lifts were not working. A lot of people had to walk up/down the pitch black staircases, including my daughter who had to go to school.
This is a major blunder in a long list of blunders happening in our place ie:
- The pool was out of commission for a very long time.
-People playing football INSIDE the tennis court, even when the whole pool/gym/court area was supposed to be out of bounds.
- Lifts at Blk B breaks down almost every other day, one after the other. This has been an issue since Mr Gan's time, and is still not rectified. Just last week, a few feet away from me, I witnessed a very furious resident almost whacking the lift technician becos one of the lift was out & everybody had to crowd the sole working lift. People do get angry!
I'm sure there are more, but lets prioritize & get things in order.
All this begs the question: Are we paying the Mgmt Fee to "enjoy" all these? Should we the residents get some rebate for 'services not rendered'?
Clearly somebody is not doing they job, and something must be done about it quickly. Patience has it limits.
Hi,
Everybody was warned about this power black-out, including the Building Manager (BM). Although they checked the gen-set (according to En. Jamal) but I guess that they (BM) did not do a good job about it.
Asking for rebate will not solve our problem with regards to the maintenance issue. What the residents/owners should do is to get together and have a heart to heart talk with ISJMB. Don't let ISJMB shoulder all the problems by themselves. Although they are appointed by us and act as our reps, but they are also residents/owners of Idaman Sutera. And as residents, I believe that everyone of them share all the problems that we faced.
Let discuss the issues/problems and find the solution together with ISJMB.
One of the important issue to discuss is how to ensure that everybody pay the maintenance fee (it was mentioned that only 60% owners pay) and how to fully utilized what ever money remained in Idaman Sutera fund.
Lets work together hand in hand and "clean up" our condominium for our own betterment.
Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your support. If all Idaman Sutera residents have the same thoughts like you, working hand in hand with ISJMB, will definitely make our home a better place to live.
