As in any form of security, a guarded scheme or even a gated and guarded scheme is not foolproof. “At least we know that those not staying in the scheme cannot come in and go out without any form of control.
“The guards will ask for their particulars like name and IC,” Lam said. He said there was one break-in, recently.
It happened in a house where the owner refused to pay maintenance fees.
And what was most annoying was that the victim complained on the security and demanded to view the closed CCTV, Lam said. And certainly there are people who take opportunity, over the people’s concern for security.
In Bandar Sri Damansara, a resident, only known as MY Shu said there was a spate of break ins and petty theft in the neighbourhood before a few men who claimed to be from a security firm, approached the residents to offer their services.
“Some of us suspected these so-called guards were either the robbers, thieves or their accomplices.
“They purposely frighthened us so that we would take up their offer,” she said, adding that the “guards” quoted RM30 monthly fees.
The “guards” would put up a little signboard on the gate for those who paid for their service. She said she did not take up the offer.
A similar type of patrolling service was also offered to residents in Taman Rasa Sayang, Ipoh, some time ago. A housewife said the “guards” had asked for RM20 a month. “They put up a little signboard on my gate, saying this house is being patrolled.
“But I do not know whether they actually did the patrolling,” she said, adding that the “guards” came and collected the fees for a few months and disappeared after that.

Corrupt RA will coerce residents to pay "security fees in a makeshift illegal GnG setup". They put up illegal barb wires, install access card system and guards unlawfully asking people for ID. But are you sure outsiders cannot get in? Just take a look at the surrounding perimeter - anyone can just walk in. Motorbikes can still go through - criminals on bikes can access anytime. So is this a GnG scheme or scam?
