Neither Here Nor There

The last thing we want is to be in a cowboy town where neither bordering factions like to implement the law. Let's ponder these facts

• We are not under the sole & absolute discretion of Dataran Mantin because they are under receivership.
• The receivers & managers appointed said they are only responsible for the Platinum Damansara Project.
• All except Sri Palma Villa Blocl 1, 2, 3 & 6 are left without management because the JMB was not formed.
• Dataran Mantin has written to all that they are pulling out of the management of the place due to a lack of funds (or misappropriating, which ever you choose to believe..)
• MPN is not going to take over the management of the place.
• Neither is PwC, as they even place a sticker on DM's envelope stating that they are only the receivers & managers appointed for the Platinum Damansara Project (how convenient).

So while we are waiting for the JMB First Meeting, that is where we are currently at:

Borderless Zone

The last meeting with MPN was 22 Jul 2008 but until now, we are still waiting for DM's next move. That move is to provide a second round of JMB First Meeting which will start with 4 sites first. It should happen in the 2nd week of August but we are still waiting for their reply.

Now just because the 2nd Round of the JMB First Meeting is coming soon does not mean that the JMB will be formed! Yes, that is correct, correct, correct. Some had 3 rounds of the JMB First Meeting but the JMB still failed to form. So you can imagine how things are like in a borderless zone. Even if the 4 JMBs are formed next month, what about the rest of the 9 or so?

But in the mean time, we can't just sit there & wait for worse things to happen to BUTL. So to give the group a bit more bite, we are setting up a Residence Association (RA). That's right, we are taking up the fight with authority & with gusto. And you can be sure that you can have your say when this association is open for membership once it is registered.

The few things on top of the list to tackle are

• Water - we need to sort out & make sure that all the sites have water.
• Common Area lighting - right now, once the moonlight takes over, it's free for all, so if you are there at night, better be in a group, so we need to sort out the electricity issue.
• Security - how ever we say that security in Malaysia is just a wave of a hand, we still need it. Without this, it is quite pointless to install flourescent lamp all over the common areas again.

So ladies & gentlemen, we know most of you don't want the property. Most of you are already fed up with this DM and all the briefings. But MOST of you are just waiting for a miracle to happen. So now is the time to rise up and be a select few. Be a representative for your site.

We are still open for registration. Those who have registered will be the first invited to be members of this RA. While that is on-going, we hope that every site will have some representatives. Write to us, forabetterbutl@gmail.com because whether you like it or not, we are in the same boat.

For A Better BUTL !
