Fire Fire and the Residents are fast asleep

A red dot in the history of Taman Lone Pine. Can you imagine a tenant renting a unit on the fifth floor of Block 1, was boiling water and went back to sleep. Thank God, someone saw smoke and thank God we had a brave security guard who climbed over the railings, broke the glass and woke up the sleeping residents. I could think of worst to happen. Total fire break out, gas explosion, total electrical failure, lift failure,panic and pandemonium at Taman Lone Pine.
Once again who were around? Not superman, not spiderman nor batman, its teh unpaid, pro bono volunteers of the Perbadanan Pengurusan Taman Lone Pine Chairman, Vice chairman and several committee members.
You want to know what is the greatest joke or absurdity was? While our hero security guard came to rescue the 5th floor resident, the fire brigade came and guess what - our other security guard from Guardian Security Services decided to play truant as usual. The fire engine could not come in. Currently we have a 25-50% effectiveness level in terms of security services from the present company. We hope to meet and put into place some commitment and measures to ensure value for money equity is put into place. We hope to have our wheel clamps up soon after the EGM and hopefully Guardian will stop "cheating" us or we have to ship them out and find some other company whoa re sincere in providing real services.
Back to the fire issue, we have to start our resident education campaign and set up our own Emergency Response Team or we stand to have an extra insurance loading of 10% and worst, we might get into bigger trouble if another fire happens again. (Choi, Tai ke lai si - Touch Wood - God Forbid)
Anyway it is about time that our selfish residents with all their garbage blocking the aisle and the selfish Developer of Taman Lone Pine office start rethinking how their chains, bars and cars can pose a danger on where it is supposed to be exit zone for emergency.
Enough said. I am going to sleep early.
