Analysis

There were plenty of disappointments and complaints heard from residents of Flora Damansara over the years. They always face water shortage and the water supply is not very clean. They also claimed that the water shortage sometimes occurred 2 to 3 times in a day. It always happened at least once a week. The problem was reported due to the management did not pay water bill from mid-2006 to mid-2007.

Besides that, cleanliness in the surround area is not very good. This can be evidenced right in front of the lift as irresponsible resident throws their thrash in front of the lift because there is no disposal room on each floor. You can also see cat’s poop all over the place. Designated car parks available are insufficient to cater the residents’ need. Long line of cars parked on the roadsides in front of the entrance can be seen every single day.

Beginning 1st April 2009, PAMA Services was appointed as the new property management company after much deliberation and recommendation from the Chairman of Sub-Committee for Tender for Property Management Company. PAMA Services is a well-known property management company for several residential properties such as Puncak Seri Kelana which located in Lembah Subang.
