Neighbourhood's First Get Together

Hi there, we have just had our first neighbourhood gathering, the usual suspects were all there, as usual. Except for a few new faces, mostly are the ones who parties the latest and the noisiest, hahaha.

We hope to rectify the situation by getting the road-rep going door to door and collecting information and introducing ourselves and get them to join in the community so we can always speak with one voice and protect our interest collectively. Otherwise, if everyone only care for themselves, then the community will deteroriates and we become like just another normal taman in Malaysia, let's strive to avoid that. As it is, I think we have known each other names, more than from where we were originally from, where neighbours just practically do not see nor know each other. Let's not become like that, again.

Alright, some head up on the gathering. Let me just list down the people who were there, in order of their self introduction.

1) Tony and Mary Wee
2) Ng Ber Toon and wife, sorry, I didn't get the name.
3) Saran - the new face, who is a few doors away from Mr Ng
4) Patmanathan and Sheila - our pro-tem penghulu
5) Mr Teh and Ms Pat - I hope I got the name right
6) Joe and Stella - who is the second to move in after Patma
7) Thomas and Penny Mok - that is me and my other half.
8) Jeff and Cathy - their house is right opposite the host's
9) Azlan and Badriah (Bard) - whose house is my siamese twin
10) Albert and Agnes Mok - not related (to me, that is), Agnes is the events chairperson
11) Nasir and Jem - hope I got the name right, they are next to Nicky
12) Mary - everybody knows Mary, no need introduction
13) Ken and Mei Ng - they are the coming soon neighbours, Nicky's siamese twin
14) Nicky - another one who don't need introduction

Just a quick recap on things mentioned, of which Mary will give the minutes, she is such a good secretary, thank you very much.

a) There is no security manning the second guardhouse for certain hours, it doesn't seemed to be a good idea but we will see how it goes
b) There will be one key contact person from GC to attend to any grouses we might have, Patma will let us know who once he have more information.
b) There will be a change of landscaping contractor, we were reminded to monitor the situation and do not allow for any slackening of the maintenance, for our own benefits.
c) Cleanliness is an issue and I strongly felt that the guard who do the rounding will have to monitor the contractors and workers because rubbish are definitely not created by residents.
d) Visitor passes shouldn't be allowed to be given to contractor, they have to get their own special passes.
e) Everyone will list down the defects they faced for other's to study and look out for in their own unit, meantime, all unattended defects will be complied and highlighted to the developer, so, please do compile your list and send them either to me, Mary Wee or Nicky.

Overall, the gathering / meeting was a success and we hope the momentum has been set to have more this type of gathering so we can share information and tips for our mutual benefits.

Lastly, photos will be posted once our cameraman (Tony) and camerawoman (Mary, not Wee) send or pass to me.
