No U Turn Sign...Good or Bad?

I was thinking the other day about getting the authorities to put up the No U Turn sign to deter or at least reduce the accident rate in front of Pearl Garden entrance. Recently, there was accident between a bus and a Honda Civic owned by the SASA Security boss. The bus driver had to pay RM 300.00 after being "harassed" by our security guards. Any way, I personally think that both drivers are in the wrong, one parked at the side of the main road (illegal) and the other made a U Turn at a restricted area (also illegal).

By getting the No U Turn sign, it will also create another big issue like prohibiting car owners from parking at the side main road (99.99% car owners from Pearl Garden).

If the "No U Turn" signage is up, I am sure it will also attract policemen to issue summon to those Pearl Garden car owners. But I guess, if we want to see less accidents, such policing method will have a toll on the residents. What do you guys think?

Should I pursue this further to get the No U Turn sign from the state government?

Another Breach Of Security

While everyone (sub committee, SASA security and GE Tan) was busy discussing about the current security hot issues, there was another breach of security this evening.

Two unknown motorists were stopped by security near block A entrance at approx 9:30 ~ 9:45pm and based on their explanation, they came to distribute leaflets and I overheard that they knew the previous guards and was allowed into the premises to distribute their flyers "all the time". And who were these previous guards who have been allowing these people in at this time of the night? I smell a rat here!

I hope the security guards who stopped them took down their details and motorcycle registration number for further clarification. By the way, how could two strangers pass thru security gate at the first place? For all you know, these two strangers could be thieves or burglars, maybe they have been surveying some units for their next move....I am worried, aren't you?

I would like to have a report on this incident from SASA Security or GE Tan and I would like this incident to be reported to the police if necessary. And please come up with some proposals to eliminate reoccurence of such incidents.

A dialogue with the MC, security sub committee, SASA Security and GE Tan to trash out security issues is appropiate. Anyone want to join me?

Security Guards Are Foreigners?

I saw sitting by the poolside yesterday morning and for the first time, I did not recognise the faces of our security guards. Usually, it was the usual faces but there were these 3 guards with uniform who are strangers to me, well at least for me...

I think it would be helpful if the management could put up the security guards' faces on the notice boards like before. When I checked with a MC, he told me that all security guards at Pearl Garden are Malaysians, but yesterday morning, I was quite sure some of them were foreigners.

Maybe I should get in touch with Roland Yeoh who also saw them as he was walking to his car yesterday morning, just to be sure.

Still on the security matter, one of our resident (codename ET) took this photo of a guard sleeping, but I do not know the exact date the photo was taken. Sleeping on duty is a big offense and such incident should not happen. Before the appropriate "authorities" take the necessary steps to eliminate such recurrence, kindly check in detail the cause of this problem. Root cause is important.

Shifts are too long? Overtime? Working conditions? Sick?

This morning (Sept 7, 2009) at about 06:48 hours, I noticed that 2 security guards were doing their rounds at the multi-storey car park which is very good and at the same time, I saw a security guard patrolling the service road. Good job and keep it up!

Just a note, can the guards wear proper shoes rather than slippers?
