They suggested that we should go back to the existing supplier as the system is an old system and it would be much more economical to go back to the same supplier. Mr. Rajendren suggested that we should get his quotation for 3,000 pcs. Grace has pointed out that the CCTV is still in black and white and we should change to colour TV.

e) Mr. Gary thanked Mr. Chong Mun Choon for helping to check out the lifts' condition and to do some minor repairs. It was found that the stickers in the lifts were gone.

So far we have received two complaints from the residents.
The first one was from the tenant of Block 106-10-03 regarding the manners of the guard on duty. The guard on duty was doing his duty as he wanted the resident to prove his status. The resident was trying to open the door of a car parked at a parking lot with a wire. When the guard approached him and he was unable to prove himself to be the owner of the car.

The second complaint letter bear no name and no address and so it was ignored.
