School Security
On 4th May 2010, while I brought Clara to school, I saw at the Gate (B) a notice that read: Dear Visitor, Please proceed to the security post and produce your NRIC or Passport to the Security Guard for the purpose of recording your particulars in order to gain entry into the school. The Guard will not retain your NRIC or Passport but will issue you a security pass instead. Please co-operate for the security and safety of our school. OM Mr Ting Lan Inn, dated 4th May 2010.
This should be the right way — copied the NRIC and verified that it is correct… Previously when I went into the school, all I have to do was just write down my own NRIC. Anybody could have just written down any NRIC that are not theirs. Also, the security guard should not retain our NRIC (Just like what Boon Lay Secondary School did to me…I will write about it when I am free) How am I suppose to know what the security guard will do to my NRIC while I am not around? I agreed totally with what this OM (operation manager) had done.
Lets take a look at the security guard post. This was done not long ago. Look at what the security guard are doing. And look at how big is the gate. It is so big that it can allow many parents to go in, many children to come in and out of the school. Can the guard(s) control the crowds if anything happen?

How many security guard(s) is safe for the school?
This car has been parked here for so long. The Chinese Security Guard came to ask her to move. She seemed to refuse. I saw her car still parked there for so long, and after a long long time then she drove to another direction.
This could be a terror plot to lure away the security guard, leaving away only one security guard at the security guard post. And look at the Malay security guard, he was talking to another person…
The security guard did not bother about students leaving the school or entering the school. Students carrying a school bag leaving the school might be going home. What about students leaving the school gate and they are not carrying any school bags? Where are these children going? Aren’t they supposed to be in school during school hours? How are the school going to answer to parents if anything happen to their children outside the school? Are we going to ask the General office or are we going to ask the police for an answer then?
Just how safe is the school and how safe can the children be in such kind of ‘security system’?
