Overnight Security Experts

I have been someone of an expert in the fields of security, working in a private agency, and yes, we work hand in hand with various governments. Yet, I have been extremely cautious in making recommendations. Things could o wrong so easily, when intentions are noble. That's why they say all roads to hell are paved with good intentions. How true.

One of my idiotic neighbours have decided that our area should be a gated community. Currently, it is public accessible, no common fence to separate our little community from the rest of the world. Each house have our own fence and gates, typical of most Malaysian house.

For gated community, the entire neighbourhood will have to form a residence's association, or RA for short. This must be registered with the government. Just paperwork, nothing too serious. Then, we, as neighbours will have to pay for the private security guards, plus the boom gates, plus whatever operating cost.

The worrying part is, this idiot, woke up one morning and appointed himself to be the champion of this. Suddenly, he becomes an expert in security for community. I mean, eff, he probably has not even done a day of law enforcement work. In any case, nothing has stopped this idiot. Let's call him Jeff.

Jeff manage to get some fools to form a committee. Well, we could all agree to that. RA is good. It's more or less free after all. Then, Jeff sends out a form to survey, to see how many supported the idea of a privately gated community. Then, the started pushing for support, really hard. Started collecting money. Some paid up. Jeff even started a blog for the community, but once again, Jeff appointed himself to censor the blog. Opposition to his fancy project were deleted, or not published. More propaganda on the blog.

In short, this Jeff of an idiot has been exactly like the good old BN government. RA has not been registered. So, we now have nothing short of an illegal association. He has started collecting money from the residence. Those not paying up will not get a car sticker. Guards will supposedly block access for those without stickers. He has illegally put up barriers on public road. Heck, this bloody mess is nothing less than gangsterism and collecting 'protection money'.

Anyway, more on Jeff and his idiotic ideas later.
