Salute our Avillian Guards.

Hi, this is my 1st blogging. wants to share my views. my apology if anyone read this and find it offending.
Last week, i witness 2 incidents happening at Avilla, a happy and a sad one and prompt me to write to all.
It all happens at Block B. 1st the happy one, on saturday around 3 pm, a guard came and press the door bell of my sister apartment.She opens the door and saw one indian guard asking if her car no was so and so and she said yes. He told her some one hit her car. We both went down immediately and saw another indian guard standing with a couple at the guard house.He told us the driver have accidentally knock into my sister car while reversing her car. We then ask if she was a resident here and she said that she is visting her friends at Avilla at Block B. They admitted their mistake and prepare to pay for the repainting job. They came to our apartment and pay us the money after my sister have check with the mechanic the cost also apologise profusely. Very civic minded and considerate visitors. Good job the guard went through their address registration book and find out the car owner and informed the accident. Our million thanks to the AVILLA GUARDS. To their employer, please give them a good review.

2nd was a very sad one. It happened on Sunday at 7.16am. My youngest sis and family came to visit me that day. We went out for dinner. It was drizzling. she went down the lift first and waited at the lobby for her husband to get the car from the visitor car park. i came down with my family a few mins later. When i came out, i witnessed a man getting into his car and driving off in a very angry manner. i saw a Malay guard pulling a car clamping machine with his clothes wet under the drizzling rain. He was mumbling to himself and being curious i ask him what happen. He told me that the man park his car beside the lobby entrance for a long time. His car was then clamped. The man came down hours later and ask him to open up the clamp. Instead of saying sorry and paying the RM50.00 fine, he start scolding the guard harsely. Mys sis who stands there witness the whole incident but dare not speak up cos she fears the man will scold her for being a buzy body. The guard says that now he has to pay for the RM50.00 cos the man refuse to pay.Since my sis and i witness the incident and the guard was not paid the RM50.00, will the management or his employer, kindly please do not deduct his pay. I really pity all these guards. Rain or shine, they are still peforming their duties.Not only that, some very unkind and brainless ppl will yell and bully them when they are doing their duties. May this man who read this please put yourself in his shoe. Will you want ppl to treat you, your brother, your father, your son in this manner! If you have made a mistake, admit it and don't let others pay for you. Even if they are guards, they are still human beings like you and me. I did not check with the guard if he is a resident here or just a visitor. I don't think he is a resident or he should be aware of the rules.To all Avillians out there, let me tell you. My vote for the avilla guards are VERY GOOD and they are an excellent lot !

  1. Hi Florence,

    First of all, welcome to the BLOG. We hope that you will able to find some of your social/networking activities of AA in this BLOG.

    Now, we think you have done the right thing to post up your comments here. Also, we definitely agree with you that we are not being sympathizers for any of the guards because of their earning power, race, or what not, but merely pointing out to everyone out there that we respect them for who they are in carrying out their duties as security guards.

    In instances reported above, there are many security guards who are discouraged easily due to low self esteem and also due to the perception of unfair treatment. Many tend to wonder why now there are some rotten apples in the basket now? Worse is, there are some security guards who are competent out there, trying to do their best to earn a living and do their job to safeguard our safety and the residence's well being, yet all their hopes are dashed when they cross paths with the "arrogant" ones (visitor(s)/owner(s)). The same goes with the corporate world, where often, a dissatisfied and disgruntled employee leaves the organisation not because of the company's non condusive working environment, but mostly due to the bad human interrelationship skills of the managers/superiors themselves. Moving back to the situation mentioned by Florence, if there is anything to be blamed, it would be the irresponsible owners themselves to be blamed for not reading the house rules or adhere to the basic common regulations generally agreed by the residents.

  3. I respect the guard! Bravo! The guard shouldn't pay him. Worst case is to call the police. The employer should give them credits for this.
