Mandarin Gardens' Management Panel Steps Down Over Enbloc Disputes

Source : Channel NewsAsia, 02 May 2008

Enbloc sales woes and unhappiness at Mandarin Gardens have left the condominium without a management committee for the past week.

The previous committee refused to be re-nominated for elections at its Annual General Meeting last Sunday.

Since then, no one is taking charge of the day-to-day management at the condominium on Siglap Road.

Channel NewsAsia understands that the entire management committee stepped down because of disputes with the estate's enbloc sales committee.

Apparently, the enbloc sales committee pushed through resolutions which are unfavourable to the entire estate, through its control of proxy votes.

When contacted, the Strata Titles Board said such cases are rare, but it is unable to do anything at this point.

Under the law, all residents are jointly responsible for any liabilities incurred by the condominium during this period. - CNA/ms
