Po Lam Village, Tseung Kwan O, held a corporate re-election meeting last Sunday (29th). It was also the first time in many years that Po Lam Village had a challenger to compete with the current corporation.
However, in the end the challenger failed to win as he wished, and the candidates of the current OC camp won by a large margin, and all members were elected.
It is reported that there are four major unfair situations in the election conference, including the code name suspected to be the last district councilor written on the upper right corner of the ballot, a large number of blank title votes entered the venue, and the process has begun when more than 100 owners have not entered the venue. Voting, and the information of the candidate members is incorrect and published late.
The concern group of the Baolin Village Corporation stated that it will not recognize the results of this re-election and will follow up in other ways to try to restart the election.

The suspect code is written in the upper right corner of the ballot, and the corporate lawyer is still valid
Earlier on, the Wong Tai Sin Pan Lung Court held an OC re-election meeting and successfully "kicked away" the current OC. The residents embraced more excitedly and chanted "Thank you for driving away the garbage."
However, not every re-election meeting can overthrow the current election. Po Lam Village in Tseung Kwan O also held a re-election meeting last Sunday. However, the current OC was elected with a high number of votes. However, it was suspected that the election was unfair that day, and some members of the concern group admitted that they would not admit it. This election will be followed up in other ways to try to restart the election.
First, some owners stated that the words "fa" and "bamboo" were written in the upper right corner of their ballot.
At that time, the owners did not follow up because they did not understand their rights and interests, and it was doubtful whether the relevant ballots were consistent with the choices made by the owners.
In addition, during the scrutiny of the "Renewal Service Contract" agenda, it was discovered that there were questionable votes (mainly large household votes), and the words "Fa" and "Bamboo" were also written, which made the audience question the previous district councilor Nengfa is related, and the word "bamboo" is related to Tan Zhujun, who was regarded as the successor of the district in the previous district council.
At that time, there were two scrutineers, one of whom said he accepted the questionable ballot, and the other said he did not accept it. Ultimately, the decision of the corporate lawyer was required.
When the district councillor Feng Junan pointed out that at that time, the corporate lawyers accepted the questionable votes on the grounds of "not affecting the whole intention." He also pointed out that because the words were written outside the boundaries, they thought that the problem was not big.
Feng Junan thought the situation was very strange and questioned the fairness of votes.
Enter the venue next time without receiving a good ticket
In addition, there have been problems with the large-scale votes (ie authorized votes) of the re-election meeting.
Feng Junan recalled that the management office was on the spot to calculate the number of ownership shares he held. The process actually took 45 minutes.
Feng was puzzled by this, "Isn’t the job of calculating the number of ownership shares done beforehand? Why is it calculated on the spot?" When he could finally sign for the receipt, suddenly there were two unknown individuals who were not in uniform. Walk into the venue, check with the staff and get two stacks of blank "ownership shares" ballots.
Feng then asked the staff whether the practice was appropriate, and asked why they could hand over two stacks of blank ballots to an unknown person without signing.
After some confusion, the management office replied that the ticket holder was a colleague of the management office, and the blank ticket was for showing to the residents.
Although at Feng's request, the staff took the two stacks of blank ballots to the venue again, but they were still not sure whether other blank ballots flowed into the venue.
Feng Junan believes that this action lacks fair supervision, "The owners originally held the relevant votes, and they didn't need to show them."
At the same time, he also questioned the role of the blank ballots involved.
Mr. Tan from the Baolin Village Concern Group also pointed out that ballots need to be handwritten. If blank ballots flow into the venue, it is not ruled out that other people fill in the ballots, and the authenticity cannot be verified.
He pointedly pointed out that the handling of blank ballots is not transparent, and that it is more likely to be black box operations.
Over a hundred owners have been blocked from entering the venue, but not all have begun to vote
The re-election meeting was originally scheduled to enter the venue at 1 pm and hold a meeting at 2 pm, but when the owners arrived at the venue, they found that the door to the venue was locked.
While waiting to enter, some unknown people actually entered.
Feng Junan recalled that there were hundreds of owners waiting outside the venue, but no one had arranged for them to enter the venue. Feng suspected that some of them were outsiders of the village and people with organizational background.
About 20 minutes later, some residents couldn't hold back and planned to rush into the venue.
Only then will there be staff to register for them, but the registration speed is quite slow.
The meeting was finally postponed to 3 o'clock. At that time, all the residents had not yet entered the venue, but the meeting had already begun, and some agenda items had been voted and voted on.
The re-election meeting was originally scheduled to enter the venue at 1 pm and hold a meeting at 2 pm. However, when the owners arrived at the venue, they found that the entrance to the venue was locked and more than 100 owners were waiting outside.

At that time, some owners reported to the representatives of the Civil Affairs Department present that other residents had not entered the venue, and they were ignored.
After a round of enthusiasm, the representatives of the Civil Affairs Department finally accepted their opinions. The meeting was temporarily suspended and decided to continue the meeting after all the residents outside the venue registered and entered. The residents were also dissatisfied with the arrangements of the meeting.
The list of candidate members was published late and was incorrect
Feng Junan pointed out that the neighbourhood was disappointed with the conference, and some even pointed out that the results were unacceptable.
Some neighbours told Feng that the election members did not provide any information about the candidates before the election, such as names, numbers, and brief introductions. The list did not appear until the 28th (the day before the election meeting).
Feng Junan believes that the arrangement is unreasonable and unjust, and the information on the list and the political platform of the challenger (the Baolin Village Concern Group) are also wrong.
After inquiring about this matter, they received a response that it was a mistake by the hands and the people, and the management office subsequently corrected the information.
However, residents are very dissatisfied with the work attitude of the management office. "Why can the documents and information be wrong?" The poor service quality of the management office has also prompted residents to hope that they can vote through the general assembly, reopen tenders, and find other management companies to replace them.
Mr. Tan from the Baolin Village Concern Group believes that the arrangement of the conference is chaotic and lacks acceptance.
At that time, the owners felt that the meeting was unfair, so when the chairman of the corporation was elected, 90% of the residents left the scene immediately to show their dissatisfaction.

Mr. Tan from the Baolin Village Concern Group believed that the arrangements for the meeting were chaotic and lacking in recognition. He also revealed the lack of government regulation over these owners’ meetings.
This time, the civil affairs office representatives did not play a monitoring role. There is currently no way to know and investigate the authenticity of the votes. There was no notary in the entire election process, and the management office hosted and counted the votes.
He described that some owners felt that the meeting was unfair, so when the chairman of the corporation was elected, 90% of the residents left the scene immediately to show their dissatisfaction.
He also mentioned that in the past, corporations were also opaque.
In the management committee meeting held in the housing estate in September this year, the contract was renewed by the management company without a vote by the general meeting of owners.
At that time, Mr. Tan and a group of owners expressed their desire to observe and express their opinions, but they were obstructed by the administrator. Eventually, the matter was ended by the police.
In the past 16 years, OCs rarely open tenders, suspected of perpetual contract issues
After checking the information, Mr. Tan found that in the past 16 years, large and small contracts have rarely been publicly tendered. He questioned the issue of perpetual contracts. "The corporate does not open tenders and continues to renew contracts with other service companies. , Every time the contract is renewed, the price will be increased.”
He was very dissatisfied with this. He believed that the current housing estates were already at a loss in terms of capital and the practice of the corporation was extremely unreasonable. Therefore, the "Po Lam Village Concern Group" was established and began to collect 5% of owners’ signatures to challenge the current corporation. Hope Can successfully change term.
However, the results of the general election were not satisfactory.
The concern group believes that the election is unfair. After defeat, it stated that it would not recognize the result and will follow up in other ways to try to restart the election.
Mr. Tan stated that they would recruit another 5% of the property rights and reopen the owners' meeting for re-election.
He pointed out that in the future, there will be more communications with residents, especially the elderly in the housing estate, to help them understand more about housing estate affairs.
