Activation of the card access system

There was a little confusion over the use of the cards. I went down to the ground floor at Block A to carry out an observation. Before that, I carried a test on all the cards that I possess. All seemed to be working well. I noticed that some residents were still not aware that the system will be activated today. How ignorant can some residents be although notice had been pasted on all the doors and individual notice had been distributed too. A guard was stationed at the ground floor ( hopefully they will be there permanently ) to facilitate the implementation.

On the part of the management, I felt that the preparation made before the implementation was insufficient. The functions of the cards are not clearly spelt out. For example, the residents were not told that they must touch the cards when they go out and when they come in, failing which they may not be able to go out or come in. There isn't any signs on the doors to indicate whether you have to pull or push the doors. Colour strips are not pasted on the glass to serve as a warning. People may knock into the glass. It may take some time for the residents to adapt to the new system. Hopefully, there shall be no more hiccups in time to come.

Goodnight and have a nice day!

This is the second since activation of card access system . Apart from what you mentioned , the following need to look into :
1.The guard is not doing their job . He might be standing there just a while , without doing much contorls and giving directions !
2.A lot of residents (mostly students ) are not following the rule . One card might be shared by all of them since they come in groups !
3.A lot of them not bother to close the door back . To leave the door opend is really defeat the purpose of the system .
