Security

We had a committee meeting last night. I told the committee members about the break-ins that were still happening despite the enhanced security measures taken by the security personnel. These break-ins could be inside jobs. They seemed to know the movements of the security guards. I told the committee members that for long term measure, we should consider cctv as one of the options. All the committe members agreed on my proposal for the installation of cctv. Since we need to utilize the sinking fund, it's only proper that we obtain the consent of the members. We shall put forward this proposal to the members for their consideration on the day of A.G.M. If the members unanimously support our proposal, we shall then propose it to Dats Management Sdn Bhd. Please note that the final decision still lies with the management.

I promised to write about the outcome of our meeting with the chief of Security of UOA. The chief of security for UOA is retired Lieutenant Colonel En Nasir. He is quite a pleasant guy without any air. He briefed us on the extra security measures they are taking to prevent these break-ins. I shall not elaborate on this. Then, I told him about our proposal for cctv. He was very supportive. I told him to try his best to convince his boss over the need for our place to have cctv due to the high density of tenants. I also told him that should the mangement agrees to our proposal, the R.A would like to be part of the decision making team. We also want a system which is effective and of good quality. Since we are going to inherit the system in the future, we do not wish to be bogged by high maintenance cost and frequent breakdowns.

Since their security chief is with us, I think half the battle is already won . I have reason to be optimistic. There is no basis for UOA to reject our proposal as the sinking fund that will be utilized belongs to the owners. To date, I guess we have about RM 800,000 in the fund. This is money well spent. We are talking about the safety of the residents which is our number one priorty. We are fortunate in the sense that so far, none of these break-ins have led to any tragedies. It may one day and we would not when.

Good night and have a nice day!
