Some Q&A

Q: Why we having female guards? some guards looks young age too.
A: Due to the short notice given to security company, we are actually having some local guards temporarily. Some guards will be replaced once the right guards are recruited. We are planning a mixed of 3 foreign: 1 local mix initially. The local guards are more experienced and will guide the new guards.

Q: When will we have car stickers?
A: Due to the machine breakdown of original printer, we have changed the printer company. The car stckers will be available starting end of this week. For those members that have not submitting your car plate numbers, please contact your representatives or committee members.

Q: Why RADA haven't come to collect our fees?
A: Due to initial difficulties and more time spent to explain Security system, most of our representatives are short of manpower to cover every house. As most representatives have full time work and only can allocate some spare time to help our Taman community, please be initiative and help them by calling them to collect, instead of ask them to knock every house at evening or weekend.

Q: What happened to Jalan 9's gate?
A: It was knocked down by a careless lorry driver. Compensation has been made to us, but repair work would take longer time as we are redesigning the gate.

Q: How was the response of collection so far?
A: Out of about 280 occupied houses, we have collected 80% (220 houses).  (Note: total houses in our Taman = 350 but many are unoccupied or rented). As we still collecting the remaining few, the final figure would be available by end of the month.

Q: Why some are paying less?
A: We classified the full paying houses as "member", while those paying below full fee, as "contributor". Those paying less mainly due to poor financial status, or contributions from tenants/outsiders. Only member will be given House Plate, where the security guards will pay attention to their house. No obligation for the guards to check the non-member house even it could be a break-in or rob case.

Q: Would it be possible to reduce monthly fee of RM70?
A: Yes it is possible. Currently the fees collected are used to pay security company (90%), gates and guard houses (30%), car stickers and house plates (20%) and stationery, still a bit short of fund. If we could collect all full fee from at least 250 houses, the fee could be reduced in January 2011 onwards.
