Replacement of the security guards


My suspicion was confirmed, the security guards are going to be replaced. The notice was already pasted on the notice board. There was no indication on the date of the replacement. I really don't know whether the change is for the better or the worse. It was a known fact that the quality of the security companies in Malaysia is very bad. Their main objective is to maximise their profit margin and they have the reputation of providing bad security services for the simple reason that their guards are underpaid compare to the in-house guards provided by UOA. I really don't know what to expect from the new security guards. It's quite easy to tell whether the new guards are able to perform or not. You just have to look at the way they are dressed. If they are shabbily dressed, it would only mean that we are throwing our money into the drain. The image of the guards will tell whether they are from a good security company or a mediocre one. Another factor that determines the quality of the guards is how much we are paying for the guards. Security company usually charges by the hourly rate. If we pay about RM 7.00 per hour, we expect to get to get some good quality guards but the total cost incurred would be very high. But, if we pay about RM 4.50 per hour, we expect to get guards similar to those from Sri Pelangi or Genting Court. Eventually, we need to have our own guards, we can't rely on UOA guards forever. The change may bring some improvement to the security services. We just have to hope for the best.

By Monday, the card access security system will be fully enforced. The notice was already out. Our movement may be restricted. Many residents will curse me for causing them the inconveniences. We just have to get use to the new security system. We need to carry our cards at all time. We don't have much choice. Any enhanced security system will cause some kind of inconveniences. As for Prima, we have to live with it. Hopefully, it will act as an effective preventive measure for break-ins.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
