2. The Chairman assigned the first task of the day to establish contact numbers and email addresses of the committee members. All members agreed.
3. After much deliberation, the members agreed that all handphone numbers will be for contact within the committee only and that email addresses are to be displayed so that Subsidiary Proprietors could correspond if necessary.
4. The Chairman opened the discussion to the floor so as to have interaction and transparency in all matters.
5. Philip Mah of 295 #08-03 suggested that Ms Cheng Ah Lain and Paul Lim should also be in line with the majority of the sale committee as they have voted against the en-bloc in the EOGM. Ms Cheng agreed.
6. Ms Cheng emphasized that she will go with the majority of the votes for the en-bloc and wanted to represent the minority as in penthouse owners and not for the minority voting against the en-bloc. She claimed that we have misunderstood her wish.
7. One SP David Ng B295 #11–05 also a MC member reiterated the point noted by the Chairman and discouraged wearing two hats.
8. The Chairman than asked Ms Cheng to give this a thought and urged her to resign from the MC and devote herself to the Sales Committee.
9. Paul Lim felt that we are pressuring Ms Cheng out of Sales Committee but Freddy Khoo clarified that the Sales Committee just wanted to have a clear stand so that we could do the job without any hindrance. Paul Lim also stated his stand that he is for the en-bloc provided that the price is right. The members re-emphasized, that is exactly what committee is here for.
10. To Allen Walters query whether he is for the common interest of the SPs since he voted against, Paul Lim said that he is going to share all his expertise from his job to work for the best interest of the Committee, and confirmed that he is for en-bloc.
11. SP Ricky Yap 295 #16-06 voiced that there cannot be two camps in the Sales Committee.
12. Ms Cheng suggested that as a trained accountant she could contribute effectively even though she would resign.
13. The committee welcomed her decision to serve and encouraged her to reconsider joining the Sales Committee instead of the MC.
14. The Chairman in closing the meeting said that ample notice would be given to SPs so that they could also participate in the meetings.
15. The meeting ended at 2100hrs.
