Activation of Lift Lobby Access Card System

The lift lobby access card system at all the lift lobbies of Komplek Suria Kinrara will be activated on the 1 March 2012.

This is a directive from the management office and hope this will be done as advised.

Owners who have not collected the card are advised to do so in order to avoid any inconvenience. Each apartment unit owner is required to pay RM150.00 for two cards. Additional cards, limited to two cards per apartment unit, will be charged at RM4.00 per card.  Any request for more than four cards will be subjected to an application with proof of the need. The application will be processed at the discretion of the management office.

This is the card reader.
Just tap the card at the reader to open the
magnetic lock.

Lost or damaged card will cost RM50.00 per card replacement.

Many owners have yet to collect the cards. Some tenants are encountering problems getting the cards from their landlords. Some owners not staying at the complex, are not aware of the implementation date of the lift lobby access card system. 

This is the Notice put up by the
Management company at the lift lobby.

Management company only put up the notice at the notice board of each lift lobby one month ago. Some tenants took the initiative to notify their landlords.  However, some landlords are not reachable due to overseas trips or out of the town.

According to the management office, each and every owners not staying at the complex will be notified by telephone.  But this may not be true. Some owners have emailed and called after reading this blog.

Despite of some issues of legitimacy and reliability of the system,  this is one system that will enhance the security of the apartment owners and tenants. Therefore, all owners are encouraged to ensure that the system is activated and function properly by 1 March 2012.

You can open this one-way lock from outside,
until the side of the grille is sealed.

For owners and tenants who are yet to collect the cards, the guards will be on duty at one of the lift lobby in each block to assist owners/tenants during this transition period. After this transition period of two weeks, owners without the access card may face the inconvenience of using the lift. The staircase is available during this interim period until the one-way lock is effective by sealing up the exposed side to prevent intruders from opening the grille door from outside.

Some owners have arrears in management fees and facing financial difficulties in settling all the outstanding charges plus the RM150.00. I have spoken to the management to give due consideration to those financially disadvantaged owners on a case to case basis.

With this lift lobby access card system plus the guards on duty, the management must endeavor to eliminate unwanted visitors, vandalism of common properties and crime in the complex. The performance of the management company is being monitored and watched  closely by all owners and tenants.
