Card Access System for Carpark Ready.

After a few rounds of meeting with senior managers of Sentosa Restu (TALAM) and a few shouting matches, the Auto Car Park Access System is finally in place to commence operation by 1 June 2011.  All owners are kindly requested to collect the access card from the management office at 4th Floor, Block A ( beside the Swimming Pool). 

There will be a guard stationed at the entry point of the car park,  at the card reader areas, during the first week of operation. In the event of faulty cards, the guards will open the arm-barrier manually.  After the one week of test run  the  system will be on automatic mode.

Tenants are not permitted to collect the access card. Owners must come personally,  and produce their IC for identification purposes, to collect their  access cards. If the unit is rented to a tenant, it is the owners’ responsibility to hand over the card to the tenant.  Each car park is allotted one card only.

The committee members of the Owners & Residents Association have received and reviewed the tender for the card access system to the lift lobbies. There are eight lift lobbies each, on the ground floor, 2nd Floor and 3rd Floor car park.  Steel grille will be fixed at all the lift lobbies. So are the staircases. A total of 48 door controllers and proximity card readers are required for the lift access control  system.


We have narrowed the selection to one supplier’ pending the finalization of the terms of payment. The entire cost of this project is estimated to be RM140,000. 

This is an added security system to be implemented by the owners/residents themselves.  The developer did not provide this.  Each apartment owner will have to contribute RM150.00 towards this project. This is a one-time cost. Details of this will be furnished later.

With both the systems in place, residents can have some peace of mind. But, please do not be complacent. Always secure your own unit properly. Replace the exiting plywood flush door of the main entrance to a solid door. Install good quality lock set  and add a dead-bolt lock.  For the steel grille,  secured it with a good padlock, such as Yale, Solex and Viro.  Do not keep valuables or too much cash in your apartment.



Malaysia is a very unsafe place to  live in. Burglary, theft and snatching is a common occurrence in Malaysia. No place is spare of crime. The high end Damansara Height, Mont Kiara and Bukit Jalil Golf Resort are also not free from burglary and theft.  With the high quality guards and security systems, including CCTV, lift access card, door and gate access card, burglary still occurs frequently. 


The thieves are getting smarter. They are also using electronic surveillance system and they rented an expensive unit in the high end condominium. They can monitor and rob the residents without leaving the condo at all.




No place is safe. Just be alert and cautious of your surrounding at all time.

Who paking my carpark . L2-237. WLD6136

Today I went to the management office to get the car sticker. Then I ask for the car park rental in block B & D. Before this, my friend went there to request the same and the management told her that the car park in level 3 cost RM40 and the level below with roof is RM80.

At first, the Indian lady told me that all the car park with is RM80. Then I ask how about the level 3 car park and she give me the same price. Then I explain that my friend is here before and someone told her that is different. To my surprise, she says that RM40 car park is for SPECIAL PEOPLE who their boss gave SPECIAL PRICE. Then I start asking what do you mean by SPECIAL PEOPLE? How come somebody can get special price and not us? Is this fair to us who are paying the management fee every month like those you so call SPECIAL PEOPLE?

The Indian lady was scare and start calling somebody (I think is her boss). Later she change her story by telling me that the RM40 is for the car park without excess card which is the car park at the behind block C & D. As we all know, those car park is for the visitor to park and free of charge. She want to charge me RM40 every month for that.

I am so frustrated and leave the management office. I start thinking that do I still continue to pay the management fee every month after hearing the SPECIAL PRICE GIVEN TO SPECIAL PEOPLE BY THE MANAGEMENT BOSS? Is the management of Suria Kinrara we trust until now doing their job fairly? Today they can tell you a story which will be a totally different version tomorrow.

I also would like to know how can I lodge a complaint of the management which somebody can take action of. I don't want the complain falls to the wrong person and no action taken. Please help.

From,

Tenant of Suria Kinrara
