PDPI before 2008

First of all, I would like to explain what the initial "PDPI" stands for.It stands for Pangsapuri Desa Permai Indah, which can be translated as "The gorgeous, beautiful apartment". Well, it may be very true. Our beautiful and gorgeous garden comprises of 528 units.

Since the year 1996, I have witnessed the gradual development of our garden from a hostile and barren environment turned into a peaceful and cosy living environment. The most precious pride of our community is the beautiful and well maintained garden which stands out as the main attraction as soon as any visitor steps inside our compound.

The people are friendly, we exchange greetings and well wishes. We have a very well established organisation which we generally refer to as the RA (Residents' Association). The RA took over the task of managing and maintenance of the PDPI. After 10 years, we managed to saved up about RM500K. When the unit owners obtained their strata title, they were able to form the MC (Management Corporation) which takes over the managing and maintenance of the PDPI. RA then moved backstage, it has become a "happy club" which acts as organiser of social events like pot-luck, festive celebration and so on.

In 2007, the first batch of 14 council members were elected. This MC inheritted the mangement fund of RM500K. The council members were very cautious and careful about the spending because this is the community money.

By the year 2007, there were new comers who moved into the PDPI. With the influx of this group of new comers, the scenario in PDPI changed drastically. Things were never be the same any more.
