GENERAL
MANAGERS MESSAGE

Dear
Residents,
A warm Welcome to the new members of The Pakubuwono Residence family!
We hope that you have a wonderful time here, meeting new friends and
neighbors, and simply enjoying the good life in a truly splendid setting.
Let us know how we can make your move and transition to your new home
more pleasant and smooth. Our staff and Tenant Relations Officer are
on hand to serve you .
I
would like to also reflect on the recent earthquake which affected
Jakarta. Indeed, the strong undersea earthquake off Java which jolted
the city just shortly after midnight of August 8th reminds us to be
always prepared in an event of an emergency. Do refer to the special
section on Emergency Procedures in the House Rules and Regulations
for guidance. Most importantly, stay calm at all times and do not
panic. We are here to ensure your safety and rest assured that yours
and your family's well being is our first and foremost concern. Thank
you for your trust in us.
I
also take this opportunity to once more reassure you and your family,
as in our previous announcements after the quake, that our structural
engineering consultants have completed a check of all buildings and
structures and have declared “The Pakubuwono Residence, Apartment
Complex” safe and sound.
As
you may also know, we continually reassess and review security procedures
and implement improvement measures regularly bearing in mind our residents'
added protection. Therefore, due to security reasons, the entrance
gate at Jalan Ophir (at the north side of The Pakubuwono Residence)
will be closed between 2300 hrs to 0600 hrs to all vehicular and pedestrian
traffic. Moreover, we have also installed 2 additional fire extinguishers
at the service corridors on each floor in all towers as an added fire
safety feature.
A
reminder…in case you have not done so already, we would like to advise
owners to insure the contents of their respective units. Insurance
coverage offers us peace of mind and protection in the event of any
unforeseen circumstances or setback.
Another
significant development is happening in our complex. Excavation and
piling works will commence behind the southern part of our complex,
commencing in mid September. Please bear with us and we apologize
for the inconvenience caused. We will keep you updated on the work
schedule. Thank you for your understanding.
Inside,
we feature the Flower of the Month, which is the “Butter Cup Tree”,
also known as “Cochlospermum Vitifolium”. It can be found at the south
and north side of the garden. Warmest Congratulations to our Employee
of the Month, Mr. Basirun our civil technician. You have done a great
job in maintaining the buildings good looking, through continuous
painting and touch up work, we are proud to have you in our team!
The
Holy Month of Ramadhan starts on September 13th. This marks the most
important and a very meaningful event in the life of our friends as
they prepare themselves in prayer and sacrifice during the Ramadan.
Selamat Berbuka Puasa!

FIRE
EXTINGUISHER REMINDER!

are connected to the central fire alarm system. As per the House Rules
& Regulations ( Paragraph 1.4) residents must at all times keep
at least one 4.5 kg fire extinguisher in their unit, and must be responsible
for keeping the fire extinguisher in good working order.
Please make sure that you have a fire extinguisher inside your unit.
Please be informed, that we have installed 2 additional fire extinguishers,
at the service corridors of all buildings. The only can be used in
case of a fire, and cannot be removed otherwise. Kindly instruct your
domestic staff accordingly. Thank you for your help and understanding.
BUTTERCUP
TREE
Once
a year in the dry season, this medium-sized tree from tropical America
sheds its deeply lobed leaves and puts forth a splendid display of
large flowers, which resemble a camellia in shape and have bright
gold petals and orange stamens. The flowers, either single or double,
continue to appear for several months and fall to create a dazzling
carpet around the base of the tree.
NOTE:
IN CASE OF POWER INTERRUPTIONS:
REMINDER!
Although Building Management ensures that the buildings are adequately
covered by insurance, please be reminded that it is the owner’s responsibility,
at his own expense, to insure his unit, all contents in the unit,
including fixtures and fittings, floor materials, carpets and any
other personal valuables.
HEALTH
TIP: THE IMPORTANCE OF CALCIUM
Calcium is a necessary mineral to build and preserve strong bones,
strong and healthy teeth, and healthy muscles and tissues.
Plenty of calcium at a young age -- particularly in adolescence --
is very important to protecting bones later in life and preventing
osteoporosis.
Bone mass continues to grow until about age 30 or 35. Calcium in milk,
cheese, yogurt and other dairy products will help build bone mass.
The mineral can also be found in leafy green vegetables, dried beans
and fruits, and nuts like almonds.
Because the cells in bones are constantly being destroyed and reproduced,
the body needs to take in more calcium than what it processes. If
enough calcium isn't consumed, more bone tissue is destroyed than
is created and bones are weakened.
The Harvard School of Public Health recommends about 550 milligrams
of calcium per day, but that quantity can vary by age. The recommendation
is 1000 milligrams a day for people between the ages of 19-50, and
1,200 milligrams a day for people aged 50 and older.
