Finally, a good reason to kick out one of our non-contributing self important member of our committee in the Perbadanan Pengurusan Taman Lone Pine.
The reason this person was KICKED out was due to the reason that he refused to pay maintenance fees due to some disputed method of derivation of payment formula.
Finally, we all voted and it was decided that he will not be invited to join in future meetings or have any say in the committee until he pays up his maintenance in full and he re-applies to join.
On top of that, this selfish person will be subject to Vehicle Access Card blockage as well as be highlighted in the public list of debtors on notice boards.
Rubbish do not belong in our committee, rubbish should be in the rubbish bin.

Two Sides of the Coin
You know only what you know and how true that is. Limited knowledge is dangerous. Knowledge from hear say even more dangerous. Perception which is often one sided can be easilty distorted and manipulated at will.
On last Saturday, we retuend home to see that three large trees in fron of our apartment block had been chopped down. My two children were furious, "Daddy, It takes ten years for the tree to grow so big and how come you don't know the trees are to be chopped down. Do you know it is bad for the environment that the trees are chopped down. The plane will become hotter and hotter."
Wow! I was dumb founded by the questions. I was a little ashamed. I was in the Committee and I did not know why. I promised that I would find out and let them know when we had our committee meeting the coming Monday.
Our Chairman finally explained to us how urgently the trees needed to be chopped down.
Due to poor planning by the developer, the trees, planted too close to the apartment blocks had now threatened the foundatin structure and was about to rupture our piping and septic tanks beneath. (I will update with photos soon) WHat surprised me even more was when we were walking home after the meeting, I was shown how bad some parts of the retaining walls were already cracking under the presssure of the surrounding trees growing roots.
Well in this case, I guess we have no choice but to destroy the trees before they destroy our homes and property.
