Guard Checks at MMU: Efficiency or Deficiency?

All cars going out from Multimedia University are checked (you will be asked to open your car’s boot). This is not something new, it can be traced all the way back to the year 1999. If this is a good policy, I would say it will be good for just one day! Why you ask me? Here’s why:

1. You have 100 more ways to hide it somewhere, not just in the boot.

2. Size of PCs and other lab equipments get smaller every year.

3. Guards are bored from doing repeating & meaningless processes. It is a conversion zero job. It’s quite certain that you will never find anything in the boot!

4. Even if there is anything you want to smuggle, I bet you can still put it in your boot without any problem. The moment your car boot was opened, guards closed it almost instantly. Yes, it a process of open-close, not open-check-close.

5. Do it during rainy days or school opening days.

Why do they continue to allow this process? MMU is just setting a best example of how most instruction is taken blindly. Guards are ‘designed’ to carry instructions. Top management are ‘designed’ to give instruction. I will not tell you how this can be solved because it is the simplest to answer if:

a. Ask top management to work as guard and open & close the boot under the hot sun for one day.

b. Listen to the guards. Let them be the one who decide what is the best way to prevent this.

Either way will do it, and it is just a matter of change!

How many times have you been asked to write your information on a book by a guard when entering a private property/premise? This is just another step to have more work for guards (top management believed that guards’ time are less important than them)
