Letter to Taman Ratu Sdn Bhd
Attention
Mr Maharis Ong – Managing Director
Subject: URGENT – Traffics Obstructions infront of Coastal Tower
First and foremost, we would like to thank you in advance for your kind consideration of our sincere request as stated below:
As you might aware of, to reach Straits Regency, the residents have to drive through Coastal Tower. Both side of the road were parked with vehicles presumably from Coastal Tower’s residents. Though, it is yellow line as gazette but there is nothing much that can be done at the moment as there are shortage of parking facilities in Coastal Tower as understood.
Lately, there were many complaints by the residents that it creates a discomfort to drive along the stretch of the road especially in the morning (to office), at night or weekend where it was fully parked with vehicles.
It was made worse recently as the road was used heavily by heavy vehicles due to the ongoing constructions of Beverly Hills. This morning, residents were held up for more than 20 minutes due to a bull dozer plying through the narrow road. It is just a matter of time that we expect untoward incidents to occur.
Therefore, we would like to suggest a win-win solutions for Straits Regency ,Coastal Tower, Beverly Hills and perhaps for other Taman Ratu’s projects surrounding in future provided that Taman Ratu see the viability of it .
We had noticed that the “walking pavement along the road” (near the hill slope) is about 4 feets in width. It is seldom used by pedestrians. If they do, they can always use the inner side. We suggest that this pavement be reconstructed so that the road could be widening up. It will certainly solve the woes of the residents around this area as the widen road will ease off the congestion.
We certainly look forward to your responsibility as the Developer of Coastal Tower, Straits Regency, Beverly Hills and etc to come up with amicable solutions for your entire “Customer” living in this wonderful piece of land. The current scenarios faced had indeed become a “talk” to most potential purchasers and investors and this will not make the assets value grows as it should be.
We look forward to your soonest response, Thanks

Fenomena Rumah Setinggan di sekitar Straits Regency
Dengan lebih terperinci lagi, kemiskinan mempunyai dimensi seperti di bawah:
Penggambaran situasi kekurangan bahan keperluan asasi seperti kekurangan makanan, pakaian dan kediaman.
Penggambaran keadaan ekonomi di mana seseorang itu tidak mempunyai modal ataupun daya pengeluaran yang dapat menjana kekayaan.
Menurut kriteria bank dunia, kemisikinan itu ditakrifkan sebagai penghidupan dengan perbelanjaan kurang daripada US$(PPP) 2 sehari. Manakala bagi mereka yang hidup dengan perbelanjaan kurang daripada US$(PPP) 1 sehari, mereka dianggap menghadapi kemisikinan yang berketerlaluan.
Adakah Taman Ratu Sdn. Bhd. tidak mampu menyewa rumah untuk pekerja-pekerjanya?
Adakah tempat pekerja Taman Ratu Sdn. Bhd. yang merupai Rumah Setinggan akan menjejaskan Harga Rumah Straits Regency?
Adakah Pekerja Luar Negeri Taman Ratu Sdn. Bhd. akan menjejaskan keselamatan penduduk Straits Regency?

Matter to be Addressed

The past few weeks we had met up with 3 Property Management Companies namely BHL, CLC and GE Tan. We had gathered some important informations pertaining to the "Cost Components" which we need to address to all residents for their knowledge.
Below appended are the "Cost Component" and estimation Budget based on the experiences of the said Property Managers :
A) Fixed Cost that will be incurred (Estimation per month)
- Professional or Consultant Fees Charged by the Property Management Company(including accounting, billing & admin) = RM2,500.00
- Staff salary that include a full time clerk and shared Full Time Supervisor(with Coaster) = RM2,300.00
- Security Services based on 3 on the day and 3 on the night (12 hours per shift) = RM7,500.00
- Cleaners - all areas covered based on 3 to 4 workers = RM3,200.00
- Lifts Maintenance basing on the current with Toshiba = RM2,300.00
- Pool Maintenance (based on daily wash basis) = RM700.00
- Pump Maintenance on schedule basis = RM200.00
- Other Maintenance includes electrical, supervising engineer, pest control & etc = RM600.00
Sub Total : RM19,300.00
B) Variable Cost
- Electricity and Indah Water (not taking into account of possibility hike in tariff if Oil Price increase) = RM5,500.00
- Office Accessories such as printing, stationery, envelope, postage & etc. = RM50.00
- Site telephone line and expenses = RM100.00
- Festive decorations = RM50.00
- Audit Fees and other legal Fees = RM250.00
- Plumbing and sanitation = RM200.00
- Purchase of electrical items = RM200.00
- Bank Charges and Meeting Expenses = RM50.00
- Others inclusive painting the wall, lifts repairs and incidental repairs = RM200.00
- Landscaping and Gardening of the building (any volunteers) = RM250.00
- Insurance for the building - propotionate to each resident (different billing)
- The above do not include any structural repairs
Sub Total : RM6,850.00
Grand Total : RM19,300.00 + RM6,850.00 = RM26,150.00
Estimate Total Collection based on RM0.20 per square feet = 1600sqft X RM0.20cents = RM32,000.00
Estimate Balance will be RM32,000.00 - RM26,150.00 = RM5,850.00
The above are merely an estimation and from the above we could able to identify the costing structures and perhaps you might think of others which have not been included as yet. If there is a sharp increase in the electricity tariff then we will see a huge increase in elecricity bills. The rest of the expenses will follow suit as well.
C) Other matters
1) Gate and walls
Had been painted up but please assist to look around for other areas that need to be touched up.
2) Toilet doors - Ladies Toilet at the Sauna Room
The locking device had been changed so that it could be locked up during night time. The guys not necessary at the moment.
3) Chairs and Tables
Had been bought by the management so that we could able to gather and have meetings.
4) Meeting Room
5) Joint Management Commitee
We will write in to request for the set up of the above. The deadline is April 12th 2008.
6) Requesting for Stone Benches from Assemblyman in Tanjung Bungah - Tan Sri Koh Hsu Koon
We will write a letter to Terry Khoo (Reprsentative for Tan Sri) and pass over to the Gerakan Branch Office along the main road requesting for 2 sets of such bench to be placed near the Guard House (both ends) to block the path leading to the drain (quite dangerous for childrens).
7) A get together to celebrate the New Season 2008
Will propose a Get Together (Buffet Dinner) to usher the 2008 "Season Greeting" in January 2008
Thanks
