Update on the card access

It looks like the implementation of the card access system at Prima has become a reality. I was invited to attend an interview with two short listed companies which are going to supply the security system but I attended the interview with only one of the companies. The two companies involved in the tender exercise are YL Systems Sdn Bhd and Transync Telecommunications Engeneering Sdn Bhd. One is using the Bosch system and the other the Entrypass system. Both the companies have projects with some public listed companies. I would say they are not those fly by night companies. I told them that the cost is not the main factor but a system that can last and with the least maintenance. I told them that we are going to inherit the system in the future and supporting services are important.

After the interview, I can conclude that the system that is going to be installed at Prima can be considered as a high tech one. All transactions will be recorded and any acts of vandalism in the lifts or at the lift lobbies will be captured by the cameras . The culprits will be made to pay and their photos would be displayed on the notice board. As for the visitors, they may have to swipe their Mycards through the cardreader at the guardhouse. Their open data like the names, the I.C. numbers and their addresses would be stored in the computer .

By involving the R.A. in the tender exercise showed that the management is transparent. I should compliment UOA on this basis. I shall leave the appointment of the company to carry out the project to the management. I feel that they know better. We were given copies of the quotations. Before I left, I told them to make detailed preparation for the implementation. Ample notice must be given. Proper procedures must be worked out and this should involve the R.A. because we are the affected parties.

Thank you and have a nice day!
