was gated and guard really that good? My friend worked in hospital told me that most guard especially young one were drug addict because they simply have nothing to do. And for most guard also so old that they can't even fight the crime. What is the point of having that at the first place? I just don't understand you guys.
I think there is a need to have a shift in our understanding of guarded and gated (G&G) concept. A fully G&G means that only residence are allowed to enter/exit. It is a restricted area and all non-residence will have to be vet through at the entrance. In the case of Anggun 2 and Anggun 3, there are perimeters fencing and perimeter CCTVs. The quality of the guards will always be the responsibility of management company and later the residence association and they will have to ensure that the guards are fit for the job.
G&G is different from hospital guard or any guarded (G) projects because the concept is different. In those cases, you will see that the guards will allow any Tom, d*** and Harry in so long the non-residence just wave at them. The barrier is man by the guards where else the G&G barriers are using access card system or transponder.
Security is all about access and movement control. CCTVs, access cards/barriers, perimeter fencing are all part and parcel of methods use to control. Security will have inconvenience and there is no two things about it. You want security, then you have to bear with inconvenience.
Having said that, these are added security to our homes but the first line of defense will still be the home owners to ensure that their homes are secured.
