History of Pelangi Damansara-def

As one of the first buyer of a medium cost apartment - Pelangi Damansara-def ; our Sales & Purchase Agreement was signed on 22nd September 2001.

On 20th May 2004 we got our keys from the developer - Cekap Corporation Berhad (a subsidiary of MetroKajang Bhd.) and Hokawai & Associates(Pelangi D'sara 1 - Block def ) was our first property  manager.Our maintenance fees was RM55/- and sinking fund was RM11/- totalling RM66 per month.

On 17th July 2008 we were notify by our first Chairman Cik Sharinan Yahaya; JMB-Pelangi Damansara D-F that Hokawai & Associates was retained as our property manager with effect from 1st Oct 2008. About one year after the formation of our JMB; the Chairman in the 1st AGM appeal for an increase of maintenance charges from RM55 to RM67 per month that is additional1.5sen per sq ft. The new rate begins with effect from 1st July 2009.      

Six months later, we notify by our Chairman that Clement & Co and Advelsoft Solutions(M) Sdn Bhd has taken over the property management and accounting functions with effect from 1st January 2010.

During the Fourth AGM (26th January 2013) increase maintenance charge was again raise and this time the request is even bolder. The JMC members asking for a 4 sen increment as our Maintenance Account like our National Budget is running at a deficit for the past few years. To avoid a stalemate situation and to show our appreciation and support to the JMC members; compromised and decided to approve 2 sen per sq ft increment.

Referring to the recent concluded 4th AGM and the approval of the majority of unit owners for the revision of monthly maintenance fee, the rates will be revised as follows:

a) 0.09 sen (psf) to 0.11 sen. 


The increase will be used to cover areas like up-keeping in common areas and to top up the insufficient existing fund.

On the Management side, we wish to thank those that attended the recent AGM meeting by sharing with us their very helpful suggestions for the betterment of our existing condition and concerned in increasing costs.
