No Entry



What is that No Entry sign doing there, flat on the ground? Anyone cares? I have been back for a couple of days now, and yet I have not seen any action. I am just wondering how long that sign has been lying there. Has the management decided what to do with that sign?

Worsening security services.

I don't know why we keep paying our RM150.00 (USD 1.0 = RM 3.30) a month in Maintenance Fees. But if I do not pay, then my water supply gets cut off. Its a damming situation. So I pay religiously. But the Management seems not to keep their end of the bargain. The security services is getting worse.

Firstly the intercom system between the apartment to the Guard booth is under the state of disrepair for the last couple of weeks. Forget about CCTV (the Management have not installed and will not install CCTV until the cows come home), even the intercom the Management has not been able to maintain it in a satisfactory working condition. So if we need to talk to the Guard (in any state plus in an emergency) we have to walk all the way to the gate booth where the Guard/s is stationed. What primitive means.

And I have also observed that at time the Management have placed a Bangladeshi at the Guard booth at the gate. Bangladeshi? Is it not against the rule (Malaysia rules on security guard) to employ a Bangladeshi as a Guard? Nepalese can be employed, ex-servicemen can be employed but Bangladeshi is not in the list (to be employed as a Guard, as far as I know).

Somehow I feel that I have been had by the Management. Who do I complain to?
