There were three fire incidents last Friday night, crawling its way towards the wee hours of Saturday.
And on Saturday, I was held up by meetings with investigators, security agency, other Board members, the Admin... I wanted to sleep.
This is not a complain but, seriously, those three fire incidents just made a total of six fires already, since January 2011. We are expected to receive citation now from the Bureau of Fire. On top of which, we have yet to receive the insurance claim from the last fire that occurred about three weeks ago.
It makes me want to shut down the garbage chute. There are suggestions to follow the way Hong Kong Building does it.
For residents to leave their trash in the chutes, while housekeeping personnel will be the one to dispose of dispose of them floor-per-floor. We should all consider this.
However, in light of the recent findings, and the details that are available in the grapevine, I presumed you will all have realized this, too, could be ineffective.
I am open for suggestions. Really.
While you're at, try to be patient with the telephone installations. This took us one-week to close, in addition to the months of meeting PABX Group had done. Let's not dwell on these difficulties. We should just all be thankful that we were able to keep the four telephone lines for the guards and Admin. These made the calls to the fire department possible.
In the meantime, hang in there.
Be vigilant, and assist the additional security guards. There are currently nine of them guarding our lobbies and roving within their immediate perimeter. Anything suspicious, report. If they ask for your name and unit, respond with understanding.
The security of our compound is our responsibility as a community.
Let us also thank the men who gave their energies that night of the fire...
For other security issues, matters and visitor check, please refer to the following:
a) 110/ 131 - Admin Office
b) 1353/ 133 - Security Office
Thank you very much!
I will give an official statement within the next few days, both about the telephone lines and the fire incidents... I just need to resume my work that was halted since the telephone matters had taken over my schedule.
Again, I implore on your patience...
