Mkl22 Twincharged September 14, 2017 Share September 14, 2017 Have been asking the MA to replace a fire-rated door at the common area as it is rotten. But despite numerous reminders to him and even going to the annual meeting, door still not changed. What else can I do? Report to BCA? Thanks. then prepared to get a fine from SCDF as they will likely check other areas to make sure the estate complies with fire safety. in the end the fine will come from your MCST funds and ultimately its your money lor. your management council bo chap? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoongf 4th Gear September 15, 2017 Author Share September 15, 2017 (edited) The decision to replace lies with the council. If item is not on the approved budget, the MA also cant act on it. Report to authorities.. confirm end up more $$ spent by the mcst as authorities will demand that a registered inspector be appointed to carry out the inspection. U guys must love paying consultant fees. Edited September 15, 2017 by Yoongf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U guys must love paying consultant fees. I think there are some things which the MC and MA has to act upon whether or not there is a budget allocated (assuming the account has money la). Safety is one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not true, the approved budget is usually not so granular but there are certain types of expenditure which requires approval by SPs during an AGM or EOGM.

Pocy Hypersonic September 15, 2017 Share September 15, 2017 Replacing a rotten door, the council may decide no need general meeting lah. Have been asking the MA to replace a fire-rated door at the common area as it is rotten. But despite numerous reminders to him and even going to the annual meeting, door still not changed. What else can I do? Report to BCA? Thanks. Can share which MA ...... so chialat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoongf 4th Gear September 15, 2017 Author Share September 15, 2017 The approved budget i was refering to is between the MC and the MA. Typically, changing a blown bulb .. the MA does not need to seek MC approval, but non recurring high cost items like a fire door typically requires a MC decision. The point i am trying to make.. usually is the MC who is dragging their feet, not the MA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surpize 1st Gear September 17, 2017 Share September 17, 2017 Much depend on the SOP, Spending Matrix and empowerment given to the MA. In most cases, such expenses are within spending limit and authority of MA. However, do come across some cases where Council intervene and stop the work on pretext of cost saving, does not warrant a replacement yet or even some cases request 4/5 quotes... However, there are also some MAs who really sit on things. Suggust you engage with the HQ or Management Team of the MA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
