The nepalnese guards



I just don't understand why some securty companies like to engage nepalnese guards. Are they really good? They may be good as soldiers. They may be good when they are at war.The gurkhas have given them a good reputation but then gurkhas are soldiers and they are not security guards. They come from a country where there are hardly any condos around. They may not have seen a condo before. They may have culture shock when they see no reason why we need to have rules and regulations at the place we live. This is what is happening to Prima right now. The foreign guards at Prima look like they have been just plucked out of the valleys and the mountains.



I had a very bad encounter with one of them. I was at level three. I saw some boys whom I suspect to be outsiders playing basketball so I asked the new guard whether these boys registered themselves or not. I showed him my card access and asked him whether they possess one. He was blinking at me not knowing what I wanted him to do. I gave up. Another was caught napping at 4.00 in the morning and this is only the second day he is on duty.

Only foreign guards are working tonight. The problem that you may encounter is you may have problem getting your message across if you wish to complain about your noisy neighbour after midnight. If you someone park his car at your parking lot, you may have problem complaining to the guard. If your house is broken into, it will be a nightmare for you. I am sure these guys will not know how to handle the situation. In another scenario, if there is a fire, will they be able to handle the fire fighting equipments. The UOA guards do carry out fire drill from time to time. . The card access system and the CCTV are alien to them . I was at the guardhouse observing the them on duty. They just pressed the button to allow three cars without access cards to come in. All you have to do is to press the horn and the guard will press the button. These guards need someone to guide them The cannot stand on their own. The ratio should be 1:1 , one nepalnese and one local. Right now, there are eight nepalnese and two locals. I am really concerned. I guess I need to have a talk with my chairman before the situation deteriorates further.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
