my england so good !

This is what we have

This is what I've become

It is not my intention to be mean or disrespectful. Sometimes talking to our security guards is no different than talking to yourself or to the wall. Their blank looks tell me more than their replies. Their most common words are "Yes Madam". Oh yes...I don't deny my age but they really DO make me feel OLD ! This morning, when I realized that we were experiencing our 3rd blackout day, I decided to ask the guard stationed at Block B. I struggled to make sense of half of what he said and the other half was something to the effect that the electrical trip had been re-set more than 10 times ! He made it sound sooooooo serious and I decided that I'd best sent an SMS to our JMC Chairman. So far....the silence has been somewhat elegant ! I'm pretty certain that if this had happened at the block where out JMC Chairman resides, all hell would have broken loose. No ?

our guards have forgotten

Not even a month has passed and our security guards have forgotten ! They have forgotten that because of their negligence and their "tidak apa" attitude, 2 residents became victims of theft. Last Friday, I asked my colleague to pick me up from home. I never mentioned anything to the guards about the arrangment. When my colleague arrived, I asked if he registered and I was shocked when he told me that he only mentioned my first name and unit number and he was let through ! OK so I am passed shocked but am feeling very frustrated because if a visitor is allowed to make such references without registering, could any of us be suspects of thefts ?

I am busy !

Doing what you may ask and who am I referring to ? The guards ! So many of them has been pissing residents of for so long. These are some of their bad habits and mind you, we have been paying for these habits.....

• Sleeping on duty
• Allowing visitors to enter without registering
• Talking non-stop on handphone
• Socializing with cleaners and other guards (talking)
• Mysteriously disappearing from their post

I am certain that many of you could keep the list going on and on but does it matter even if we do ? How many times have we complained to the management and how many times has management brought this issue up with the security company ? Need I say more ?

registration not required !

Our security guards will never learn ! Yes, it has happened. Yesterday morning, just before 9am, my colleague came over to pick me up. When I got into the car, I asked him if he was required to register and he said NO ! Everything seems to be a joke to our security guards. It doesn't mean that if a visitor is able to mention my name and unit number, he's a legitimate visitor does it ? It just reduces the probability that he is a robber. What's the point of employing security guards that allow every Dick, Tom & Jane to pass through ? I did not question the guards when I left yesterday morning. I was late, in a hurry and super pissed !

what security ?

This is what we have

This is what we've become And this is what happened yesterday

Yesterday evening, I received and email from a friend and neighbour asking if I may inform the JMC and residents that his brother's home was broken into. Here we go again, I thought to myself. Just when we were beginning to feel safe once more. I was swearing to no end ! I am so darn pissed off that we are paying for security guards that are useless. I recall the security company told me once that we were paying peanuts so I guess we got the monkeys ! If what we could afford to pay was not an amount acceptable to the security company, then they should have just told us NO, right ? There have been times when I noticed guards that we either old enough to be my grandfather or young enough to be my son ! What's the point of having the guards clocking in really. They will walk with their eye on their shoes as if they were expecting to see their own reflection. Otherwise, I suspect that they are doing it for the sake of doing it and without reason. It's a 5 minute race between clocking points. What shocked me even more this morning was news that another unit was also broken into. What are you doing lah security guards ? And in the night, the night guards will be fast asleep !

And what did our JMC chairman reply when I informed him about the 1st break-in ? Politely, he thanked me and went on to mention that he will discuss with JMC when he returns on Saturday ! Hellooooo chairman, your elevator lights not on or what ? Do lah something... call security and management to make sure that the investigation is conducted properly. No need to act so "cool" wan ! So unlike the RA (Residents Association) who almost immediately called for a meeting. Chairman, if you continue like this ah, residents will be spitting at you when the pass you lor ! Better be careful because too many residents getting fed-up.

confused

This is a follow-up to my earlier post and I wonder this morning, as I am typing this post who's the more confused party; me, the JMC of the management. On Tuesday, I reported that my personal particulars (name, mobile number and car registration number) was released to a disgruntled and obnoxious owner. That was the nature of my complaint...a breach in the security of owner information resulting from an observation that an owner had put up a signage to reserve a parking lot assigned to a unit that did not belong to them. Is it soooooo complicated ? Now the issue has taken a turn and now it is about who is allowed to park where. Geez...which is more important ? Our personal information floating freely amongst everyone or parking ? Common guys and gals. Please see clearly where the priority and urgency is lah !!!
