Letter from Peggy on behalf of the guards

Dear Residents,

I have an email from Peggy (of which I am posting below) who has expressed gratefulness, on behalf our security guards who have worked very hard to keep us safe - 24/7. It is these little gestures by these kind residents that make them feel appreciated thus making them more committed to us and to our safety. So, to these kind residents, thank you and please do continue with your kind gestures. Not like some residents who does the exact opposite!

You know, standing in the searing heat, in their smart uniforms, beating thunder storms and heavy rain are nothing compared to being shouted at, abused verbally with flowery words that only the morons who uses it, only understands it themselves while at the same time, threatening bodily harm by idiotic drivers who lives in this area. And it does not only confine to men! You will be surprised to know that even some women drivers are doing it as well! Shame on all of you!

These people are so rude and unreasonable. They do not want to pay or participate in our security scheme but would throw their weight and would not hesitate to bully these poor guards who are only doing their job for us, the more than 500+ households who have employed them.

Well, a friendly advice to all these people. If you are not happy, please come and talk to their bosses, that is, the 500+ households or the committee members. You do not have the right to verbally abuse the guards as it is us, the 500+ households who had put them there! So, if you have a problem come see us. We will be most 'happy' to meet with you. So, the next time you intend on shouting at the guards, we would like to let you know that we are watching you, so be nice!

Anyway, we are making an appeal for donation of bicycles. So anyone who has a spare bike at home and is not using it, can you please donate it to us? If it needs repair, we will fix it. With that, at least these guys can move around more easily. In case you do not know, they are not allowed on motorcycles as they do not hold Malaysian Driving License.


Anyway, here is the mail from Peggy. Check it out...!

Dear Jeff,

Please be informed that the security guards would like to express their appreciation and thanks to the residents of USJ 11/3 that have given them food and drinks while they were on duty. This meant a lot to them as they've been receiving many unkind remarks and gestures from uncouth drivers.

There is a need for bicycles to enable the guards to move around quickly, especially in the daytime at Gate 4. This will aid in informing drivers of the illegal parking that is just opposite taipan.

May I suggest that you include this in our blog to enable our residents to be generous and donate some bicycles for them.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks & Regards,
Peggy

I'm a blogger who lives in USJ11/3L, I'm Jason. I would like to say thanks in advance for the guards who did a nice job on their duty. I personally thanks to the committee who works so hard on the gated community.

Jeff,

I'd suggest you post in this blog a list of cars (vehicle make, color & registration, updated weekly) that are rude and cause potential harm to both the guards as well as others.

I personally saw a resident (not participating in security) who drove/sped off on the exit side of the road to elude the guards screening. I can only hope they understand how dangerous this is!.

I am sure there is only a handful doing this, let's address this before it gets worse.

The guards gotta be extra careful when receiving food/drinks, they have to make sure that it's from a genuine 11/3 resident that they can trust.. Almost anything can happen in this world today, so everyone gotta be extra careful and alert at all time. Thank you to the kind thoughtful residents, and also BIG Thank You to The Committee!

Dear Chin & all,

Thank you for your comments.

Actually publicising all these bad behaviour will not be a bad option at all! We hope by constantly reminding them, they will change.

But if they do not, we will definitely do what you have suggested. We will post all their details and even their pictures here on the blog.

Then, these people will have to face the 500+ residents and explain why they are behaving like hooligans.

Jeff,
First of all, thank you to all the committee members for their hard work n times contributed towards our 11 trees gated community.
As for the need of the bicycles for our guards to move around our area easily, I would like to sponsor some bicycles for them. I'm thinking of putting the bicycles with our 11 trees logo on it as a mark of those bicycles belonged to our 11 trees community.
Please let me know how many bicycles do we need? Indeed, i can get some second hand motorcycles, but as u said, the guards don't have Malaysia driving license. Anyhow, just let me know if there is a need of motorcycles as well.
Thanks....

Dear Mrs Ong,

This is fantastic!

On behalf of the committee and the community, thank you for your big heart and kind generosity.

Yes, old bicycles are fine as long as they function. There will be no need for motorcylces as the guards can't use them anyway. The ones who are presently patrolling our area are locals so it is not really a problem.

Putting that logo is also a great idea. I would like to put you in touch with Mr. Leong our Committee member who is in charge of the operations. He will be most greatful to hear about this.

Once again, thank you.

Best Regards,

Jeff
