touch card for lifts? what u say...?

received an email from resident, he got some suggestion which we also heard from others as well, so like to share here & find out from our residents are they agreeable to this suggestion or not?

is concerning the touch card for using lifts.

(at the moment the parts for blk K lift upgrading still in kastam, our lift vendor's agent is doing the clearance, hope it won't take long)

few benefits we can get from installing the touch card system in the lifts, the most important one is for security, for which only our own residents can access to their floor by touching the scanner in the lift with their card, so other peoples (especially outsiders or visitors) must accompanied by own residents or else they will need to use staircase, through this the security will be greatly tightened.

another benefit is it's good for collecting the service charge, for some other apartments in Penang have already implemented it, the feedback so far are mixed one, no doubt it can increase the collection rate, but at the same time cause inconvenience like card malfunction, forget to bring the card, emergency situation, etc.....

earlier on we dare not to consider to install the touch card system due the lifts in blk K are in the real bad shape & blk J lifts are just in acceptable condition (can't say very good), we worried that after install the system, more problems will be caused to blk k residents, so those days we were thinking if blk K lifts can be in more stable condition then we should consider to install the system....

so now as we will upgrade the blk K lifts soon, and perhaps the blk J lifts will get improved as well because we can use some of existing parts from blk K lifts to replace the faulty parts of blk J lifts, by this all the blk J & K lifts will be fit enough for the touch card system, and, now is the better time to consider this question, should we install the lifts touch card system in Vista Condo?

so our beloved Vista Condo residents, can you give your opinion on this, thanks.

not agree if we need to pay extra service charge.

hi,

of course we are not going to increase the service charge.

what we mean is by having this system, it will force defaulters to pay their overdue outstanding service charge, something like the main entrance touch & go system, if the person refuse to pay service charge, then the lift touch card will be barred.

thanks.

Yes. That would improve our security and those poor pay master.

There are many successful stories too like Villa Emas, Taman Bukit Jambul etc. We can learn from them how they manage it.

There is also one more idea to improve security which is to install a small LCD TV at the group floor lift. This is maintenance free.
