Security guard in deep sleep

[MischeleM]

I have been reading all the posts in this forum about security and there seems to be a lingering problem. I live at jalan 2/2 and I have noticed some inconsistencies with the guards.

The day shift I feel is rather good as they are quite alert and will check vehicles with no sticker. They will open the gate only after they check or if they are familiar with the car.

The night shift on the other hand just leave the gate open and let anyone pass without checking. Shouldn't security be even tighter at night?

Also a few days ago, my mother had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night. She came back first just before 1 am and said there was NO GUARD AT ALL there and the gate was just left OPEN.

She later had to make another trip to the hospital (same night) and came back at around 4am and the guard was asleep.
She horned once and he didn't wake up. Then horned again really long, then only he woke up.

If the guard is so 'tidur mati' surely anyone can just slip in and out.

I know there are a lot of holes in the security especially the lake side as outsiders can just climb the fence or wade through the shallow water to get in. Because of this we should have guards that are vigilant.

My family moved here from a previous gated community. The security fees was only half of what we are paying now but the security was really good and we felt safe.

We do not mind paying the current high fees IF the guards will really do their job and keep us safe.

Right now I worry every night.

Hi MischeleM,

Do you guys have community ? If 'Yes' then need to talk to person i charge to look into this matter. Else need to get person in charge of the security company and complain to them about your issue. Thanks.

I Agree with you MischeleM, is there anything that we can do to improve the situation? I don understand why they don want to install an auto gate system in the guard house? Since We are paying such a high amount of fees every month, the management should have enough of funds to do so. Any comments?

There's an issue of the current security of our Taman. I noticed that
most of the time, they did not fulfill their duties ie :

1) Checking of cars and bikes, take down necessary personal
details of driver not staying in Taman Tasik Prima but entering
our housing area whether or not visiting friends or relatives.

2) At least block the entrance and questions outsiders ie : bikes,
cars, lorries and etc...

3) Most of them sleeps at nite, chatting with their partner & assume
they they did not see us entering through our guard post.

4) Guard in deep sleep!! I guess they are having sweet dreams!

5) No Guard at post!!?? especially during midnite where everyone
in our taman is asleep!!??

I realised that the security company appointed for our phase was
different from the semi-d's and bungalows (they are good).

I'm a prompt payer to the quarterly security fees as well as the
maintenance charges before the developer handover to MPSJ.

I think the best solution for the above issues is to change our
current security company to better ones.

Some personal experience : A guard borrowed RM 20-00 from me
and promised to pay-back but when I checked, the day he had the
cash from me was his last day with Dell Securities (our current
security company). no doubt the cash was a small amount but
don't get conned as I pity him by telling his sad side of story..

There's all for now and I can be contacted at 012 - 3200 221.
Cheers!!
