Gutter pipe incident, residents fuming over repair delays...

With the gutter pipe crashing down at Block B, residents of PG are fuming mad over the delays in getting the problem rectified. A resident had informed the management office about the problem weeks before it came crashing down yesterday.

Here are a few of the many comments received :-

Resident # 1

"The disaster finally happened, the rain gutter at Block B finally fallen. Hope that it has not caused any injury to any of the residents.

I would like to express my disappointment to management office again.

LT, you know, I did purposely took picture from my bedroom windows on Sep 20 (one of the Sunday morning, if not mistaken) about the damaged of rain gutter from 14 floor, showed to Mr Choo (our management officer), download to management office PC and explain to him my concern of the rain gutter at Block B which potential will collapse one day.

He recorded the information and since then I didn’t follow up further... unfortunately, the rain gutter collapsed today, and another one that mentioned keep swing right & left during strong wind also going to collapse soon."

"Mitigation of clear and present problems is what management should take care of (especially when it could cause injury), it definitely doesn't bode well for them if they act only after something has happened, and it could've been worse for all they know. This is very lackadaisical on their part, I'd imagine that the safety of the residents should be of utmost importance. Management can't be that incompetent, I really hope this doesn't happen again."

Resident # 3

"can management staff know what is containment action? corrective action? preventive action? maybe they are well know of 'no action'.

Is there any other pipe also been affected?
Is there any other plant or tree almost collapse?
Is there any branches almost falling?
Is there any other findings?

If management staff is so 'BUSY' at their work, maybe we, as PG residents should show our concern to where we live.

One suggestion, how about one day after work, we form a group, gather at one place and we start to go around and monitor any findings surrounding PG. Look high, look low, look left, look right, and take any necessary picture and show all to management staff... place a real stack of complaints at once and see how they react?

If they still 'no action', then i think maybe we as resident should do something liao... unity is power!"

"this morning 6.20am i passed through Block B and surprise to see pipe & pieces on the floor. Glad nobody injury.

Need immediate action to looking on this matter.

outside PG guard house, 1 tree has fallen. Hope another serious. Need to monitor other plant too, hope no more plant fallen."

Attitude Problem, Nothing Else

Not sure if you wanna cry or laugh....After so many times of complains, still residents with attitude problem still throw their rubbish in this rubbish bin.

Why do you guys stuff in your old matteress into this bin too and see if it fits !

Non-Slip Flooring

Wet, wet, wet! During heavy rain, the floor at the ground floor leading to the lift is always wet and SLIPPERY! Can we find a way to make the flooring non slip type? I have seen children running across the floor and slipped. The non slip flooring can also help senior citizens too.

Think about it, it is not expensive to do this, safety first, always.

Washing Bay Is Not A Parking Lot

So now the washing area is another parking lot, is it? Several times, I noticed cars are parked there for several hours. This has caused inconveniences to those car owners who wanted to wash their cars. Already the washing bay is small, still residents park their cars there.

The security guards should also stick the "No Parking" stickers on these cars too.

On another note, I also noticed that car owners take their own sweet time to wipe dry their cars even though many cars are queuing up. Be considerate la, after washing your car, drive your cars back to your parking lot to wipe dry or park somewhere to do it.

Transparent Filth - Bad Fung Shui

This is another easy task, just find and clean. Not difficult I promise.

As much as the transparent roofing is good to get the lights in along the pathway, it also has a horrible side to it.

Look at the filth and rubbish trapped on the roofing. Not only you have those, you can also find cloth clips, tissue paper, clothes, chewing gum wrappers, cigarette butts and the list continues. When ii rains, all these will be on the floor.

Can GE Tan instruct the cleaners to remove those rubbish from the transparent roof? It is a bad fung shui, you know, to have rubbish above your head.

Light Cover

So, since making an official feed back to the management office using the official form does not bring any good, I am posting a few findings which require some attention from GE Tan or the MC.

This one is quite simple, just find and replace. The light cover is damaged and believe me almost all of these covers were replaced. I believe the quality of the cover is lousy and I would advise the management to change to a better quality type.

And I am sure readers from all floors agree to my suggestion.

This defect is located at Block A, 2nd Floor. Can you guys out there check for the similar problems and report back here. This can make the handyman's life easier. Thanks.
