If you want me to grade my security guards, I surely will raise my hat to security guards of University Malaya, they are the most honest gang of brothers in this country. Thay are responsible to guard assets worth millions of dollars especially after working hours and during public holidays.
University Malaya is the oldest university in Malaysia. Being old; we have many old buildings and few of them are gazetted as historical buldings. UM is also green lungs to Kuala Lumpur. We cannot cut trees. We have to develope upwards and so far 2 high rise buildings are in the map. High rise building need different approach as far security is concern.
Back to my main point, since security consciousnes among citizens of UM is not to be proud of, bad security guards may at any time help other culprit to remove our assets. This does not happen very rampant, and I suppose those loses are work of individuals and not an organised crime group.
I hope this will remain so, and I will train my security guards to report all carelessness immediately. But honestly, I hope academicians and staff will give more emphasis to security too.
