some precaution steps taken now...

recently few incidents happened in some apartments in Penang & other northern region, make us even more alert & taking extra precaution steps.

just last week a project in Penang hit by a fire incident, more than 35 bikes were in total damage in the said incident, it also affected another abt 30 bikes, more than this, the heat & the smoke also caused other damages to residents unit & common facilities, police still investigating the cause of fire, their residents also urged their management to install CCTV to prevent similar incidents from happening again, as for Vista Condo, even though we do hv CCTV to cover most of the bikes parking & the bikes barrier to prevent outsider (biker) to come in without reason, we did instruct the guard & supervisor to keep their eyes on those peoples who claim to come in to visit our residents or doing renovation.

last month it also been reported in the nearby apartment, a biker went to apartment lift & molested a lady resident, and in fact it was captured in their lift CCTV, but somehow the culprit managed to escape & now police are looking for him. According to the report before he drive his bike into the apartment compound he cheated the guard that he was looking for unit there for rent, and the guard didn't suspect him & allow him to go in without record his identity...., our management & guard company were informed of this case & urged to tighten up the security, which they did but it also resulted a resident went to confront the guard because his relative's bike was denied an entry so he got upset, see, we do have residents among us still caused hindrance to the measure which bring benefit to most of residents.

another accident was abt a kid (should be a boy) drown in the apartment swimming pool, also last month, outside Pg island, well, this is something i think Vista Condo parents need to be more careful, we still see many kids swimming in the pool without adult around, yes no doubt these kids are already (or almost) reached their teenage & make it difficult for the guard to chase them home as they claimed that they know how to swim, so what the guard did is only chase those smaller kids to go home & only allowed to swim if their parents accompany them, for the bigger kids we only can advice them & make it clear to them that they have to swim on their own risk, hopefully nothing unfortunate will happen.

we welcome residents to inform us for incidents like this although it happened in other places, so that we can take prevention step, as we always believe prevention is better than cures.

thanks.
