Do you...
- Care about your place of living and want to improve or maintains the current standard?
- Think something you can do better or faster or more efficient?
- Know who stay at your apartment or condominium?
- Make friends from different background of life?
Sparing an hour a week or so can help to do all that.. So, why not?

Next question, how do I get myself involve in this meaningful, non profit, volunteer work?
1. You can approach the Management at your condominium and offer your help
2. Volunteer yourself at an Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is held every year.
Roles:
There are up to 12 committee members are allowed. Top three post like any other club or society are Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. Other 9 members are general members.
Once you start, believe me that you will learn a lot of things, skill, knowledge for yourselves.
What is the different between JMB and MC?
JMB stands for Joint management Body. It is 12 members from residences and 1 seat from the developer. They jointly working hand in hand to regulate and manage the condominium.
MC stands for Management Committee. This Is form from JMB after getting the condominium's or apartment's strata title. MC are fully run by residence only. Developer are not involve anymore.
Others
From my experience of one year basic committee at MC and one year as a JMB Treasurer at another condominium, I can tell you that, being part of the team that make changes that can immediately seen, the feeling is great. Lots of things in life, we contribute a lot, but you might not see result from it. Like work, you might be building a product for years and it might be canceled and your work will never be realized. However, as a member, we make decision monthly, weekly, daily, for the good of the community. Barrier gate broke down, residents can't go in and out normally, and our security of our community is at risk. We as the committee can take the appropriate action, go through all the quotations and talk to the vendors and finally make decision on which vendor to use and how to fix it.
