Thank you for the response and your definition of democracy. And thank you for using the word "delusional". Very professional.

Extract from strata files show that payments were made from common funds for individual remote controls to various owners. Once the strata fund are spent on something, it becomes common property. And when common property is out of order, it gets replaced. same applies to smoke detectors that were replaced from common funds for 22 years.

Let legal entities decide who and who is a financial EC member. One vote for Lot 158 is more valid as it is based on who is ELIGIBLE to be on the committee.

The SMS from Uniqueco Property Services is enclosed herewith.

• At AGM 2019, Lot 147 (Mr. Moses Levitt) specifically asked to allow vote on Motion 14 BEFORE Motion 4:

        Motion 14 ADDITIONAL GAS POINT CHARGES

        Motion 4 STRATA COMMITTEE

        This was NOT recorded in the Minutes of the general meeting.

        For any owner to be eligible to vote, they had to settle the overdue levies before the meeting. That applies to FY 2017, 2018, and 2019 (and before when BCS Strata Management was in charge). In all those years, Lot 158 was/is valid EC member.
