The card access
The committee had a dialogue session with the card access company recommended by the management. The committe members turned up in full force to find out more about the system. The equipments that the recommended company would use are supplied by Borch which we think is an established brand. Many questions were put forward by the committe members and I think the explanations given by rep of the company were very clear and thorough. Many details were presented but I would like to highlight only the common ones.
It would be just like the touch and go card but it also comes with buttons. Each card is given a pin and when the situation warranted, you need to touch and press the buttons as well using the pin given before the door would open. . It is quite flexible. The system can be set according to the security need and situation at Prima. Another feature is that you need to touch in and out , meaning that if you do not touch the reader when you go out, you would not be able to come in. The card can also be barred for those residents who misuse the card. CCTV would also be installed at the points where all the readers are located. It would be monitored by the security personnels. For the system to work more effectively, the residents themselves play a very important role. They must see that the doors are shut after leaving or going into the lift lobbies. The most important rule that they must practise at all times is that they must not allow and I repeat they must not allow people without cards to tailgate them into the lift lobbies.
The management has agreed in principle to install the system. They are in in the process of sourcing a few more quoations in order to get the best price. Once the system is installed, the committee would have to discuss with the management matters pertaining to implementation. What are the procedures to be used? How many cards would be issued to the tenants? One thing good about the system is that we can limit the number of tenants per unit. Right now, we really don't know how many tenants there are staying in a unit. Some owners had created partitions to maximise their investments . The number of cards to be issued to the tenants will be based on the number of rooms in the original plan of the house. For example we may issue only two cards for each room. For the tenants, we may have to charge a deposit for the card because they are not permanent residents here.
Good news for the table tennis lovers. The table tennis table had finally been deliverd. It is in the hall now. Just imagine, it took the management about four months to make a decision on the table tennis table. I really don't know how long it will take the management to make a decision and to start work on the the card access system. I have told them that this card access system is urgent and they should do something to speed up the process.
Good night and have a nice day!

it is somehow glad to know that security measures had been taken to improve and maintain the conditions in prima setapak. as a student and tenant in one of the unit, there are still some mixed feelings towards all these implementations. no doubt, i appreciated the efforts by the committees and even the security guards for their efforts and all, where i can see they carried their responsibilities and commitments sincerely. but then, there ar some conditions where it could not be solved instantly even when a solution rises.
i'm quite surprised with the card system that had been propised and will most likely be implemented soon. but please bear in mind that different units have different amount of tenants, especialy for the penthouse with a much larger space for the rooms and all. limiting the amount of cards means limiting the amount of tenants here and there. well i dont blame the committee to come up with an idea like this, since it is their resident for their families and security issues are can not be compromised. but the card system will sure further bring more issues that must be solved in the near future.
i personaly think that in prima setapak, anything wont work well, even with the best solution that lies ahead. people still vandalize and theft is always an issue. no matter how smart the solution is, it will not stay long. honestly, i pity the residents in prima setapak who had to bear with the students and tenants who are like savages at times. it is your home for a rest, but devils are all around.
here,as a tenant, i have not much to complaint but to support whatever necessary steps taken by the committee to improve the quality of living in prima setapak. and please, there are student tenants in prima setapak who really cares about the condition and wanted to help in whatever effort they can to offer.
here for the first time, i would like to thank and pay my gratitude to the committee members, and especialy the guards for their efforts in protecting prima setapak. all the best =)
p/s: to the fella who had vandalized the C-block lift's buttons by spraying and carving on the plastick button plates, may u get ur punishment soon enough no matter where u go next time.
When we proposed for the card access system, our main objective is to enhance the security at Prima. Limiting the number of tenants is never one of our objectives. We are considerate too. We look at the number of rooms in the unit. If there are three, we may allocate seven cards to them and if there are five, we may allocate ten cards to them. We would not take partitions into consideration.
I do agree that the card access may not solve all the security problems here. Nothing is fool proof.People can even break into the bank if they want to. It does not mean that we don't have to do anything. The card access is only a preventive measure. It can enhance the security measures already taken by the security personnels.
I understand your position as a tenant. You are worried that you may be deprived of a card. You can rest assured that we have nothing against the tenants. We welcome all tenants like youself who cares and has a sense of belonging to Prima like we, owners do.
As to the vandalism at Block C, there is nothing much we can do. People like them are never happy. Let God take care of them.
