The past few weeks I have been having a lot of visitors. My observation are as follows :-
- If you come in through Puteri 12 then the guards stop every car and ask for the driving licience and give them a visitor pass. Usually they arent asked to register as per the board.
- If you come in through the Puteri 11 enterance (Next to Bayu Puteri) the guards just ask where are you going and you can drive through.
- Puteri 12 guards by the RA(white uniform) handle the registration and the driving licience collection. IOI guards purple and in our case light brown uniform.
- We can be more stringent when the Puteri 11 RA takes over the guards from IOI. We have to wait for the Primrose handover process to complete.
- We have guards that come calling as soon as you leave your main door open. And if your car alarm goes off at night they come and ring your door bell to wake you. They also come running when your house alarm goes off. A few of this incidence actually happend on Jln Puteri 11/11 and even in my house last weekend I left gate open to let my visitors drive in and park the guards on the round came by.
Mr Khaw
I agreed with Lee on what he mentioned on his friend's observation. The guards at no time try to stop any vehicle from getting into the housing area. It is as if the guards are meant to prevent straying cows and goats from getting into our are housing area. Puteri 6 (Ixora) has one of the best guards around. Judiously stopping every vehicle without sticker and registering every vehicle and driver. Of course the guards need some basic education in order to do that. I think our payment for guards are being fully utilised and maybe we can check with IOI and the status. If there is going to be another collection of RM50/month per household, then we can actually tell IOI we will vet through the guards.

To form a good security team to guard Puteri 11, RM50/house is not enough. From the info I got from few of my frens from USJ, Bandar Puteri, Kota Kemuning n Desa Parkcity, we need at least RM 80 - RM 100 / house to get a decent guard service. Also, we also need to considered some houses which not willing to pay the security fees unless we managed to register Puteri 11 under full guarded and gated community.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Lim,
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we suggest RM500/house?
With that amount of collection, we could be so much ascertained to get a "Super Guard Team".
I admit I'm little bit upset when the monetary issue come into this. It seems we are not insisting to get what we pay for, instead we are just admitting we didnt pay enough for the expected value.
Next time if your worker doesn't perform as what you pay for, please give him an increment immediately.
i think our very own Puteri 11 RA should organise day/nite watch rounds too, some can be dispatched over to help out and supervise the guard house operations , its our very own 11, if we just fold up our hands n with the thought of paying some money irregardless 50, 500 or 5000, crimes will still happen......try to understand the physcology part of a thieve/burglar, who would you be more wary of, some Bangla/indian guards ? or will it be some really attentive and warm hearted united bunch of residents....our 11 is having a good landscape advantage, being on top of a hill, and having only supposedly 2 accessible points, if we also could not make good on these 2 points, what else can be expected on other areas of security ?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous on Puteri 11 RA to organise day/nite watch rounds. It not only builds bonds between residents but residents and guards. Will deter anyone from thinking its easy to commit crime in Puteri 11.
ReplyDeleteGood Suggestion. I'm all for it.
To Anonymous who said: how about $500/house
ReplyDeleteWould like to appologies for not describing clearly. I meant higher fees to get more guards not higher salary/fees for guards. Normally for $50/house, there will be not enough guards deploy to go for rounding. Of course, the guards must be educate as what Mr. Khaw mentioned.
