<\/div>

If you’re new to Singapore’s condos, you’re in for an adventure. The condo security guards are some of the most fascinating people you’ll meet. Guarding entire residential blocks with nothing more than a walkie-talkie and a rolled up copy of Wanbao, condo security guards can range from everyday heroes to everyday annoyances. Whether you have a love or hate relationship with them, they are part and parcel of living in a private property. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the seven typical types of condo security guards you’ll meet:<\/span><\/p>\n

Condo security guard 1: the control freak<\/h2>\n

There are plenty of rules that come with living in a condo, some of which may even make sense. Rules like wiping down gym equipment, allowing only swimwear in the pool, and picking up after your dog are perfectly reasonable.<\/p>\n

Most security guards enforce all the rules evenly. But there’s always one guard who will zero in on <\/span>one<\/span><\/i> specific rule, and enforces it like a prison warden.<\/span><\/p>\n

If he likes the rule about picking up your dog’s poop, this guard will review 100 hours of CCTV footage to find one irresponsible pet owner.<\/p>\n

If he likes the rule about signing in to use the pool, this guard will demand that you print your name in CLEAR BLOCK LETTERS and present your resident’s card — along with three different DNA samples.<\/p>\n

Even if you do follow the rule, his hobby is reminding you about it. Preferably six to seven times in the span of two minutes. Why else do you think so many helpers are on their phone (and earphones) while walking their dogs in the condo?<\/p>\n

Condo security guard 2: the human Facebook<\/h2>\n

\"condo<\/p>\n

This guard knows everything about every resident, and wants you to be equally updated. Just stand next to them for 10 minutes at the shuttle bus zone; you’ll find out the children in unit #10-91 have chickenpox, the maid in block 36 hates the maid in block 41, and that you have three fewer hairs on your head compared to yesterday.<\/p>\n

The human Facebook is everyone’s favourite at the guard post. They know all the faces, so there’s no need for your Grab driver to wind down the window and shout “drop-off!”<\/p>\n

Just be aware that, if you have a quarrel with any other resident, you might see the guard being interviewed about it on Channel NewsAsia before the night is out. And if you make an unpleasant remark about your neighbour, they’ll relay it faster than fibre optic broadband.<\/p>\n

Condo Security Guard 3: bitterness personified<\/h2>\n

This is the polar opposite of the human Facebook. This is the guard who never talks, always stands with arms crossed, and is a godsend to advertisers who need a face to sell constipation medicine.<\/p>\n

This guard is so non-communicative, we can only guess if it’s due to an innate sense of bitterness, or resentment at something. You begin to wonder if maybe he or she is actually a nice guy but chooses to appear gruff because he or she doesn’t speak your language, or has an unspeakable secret about your condo that weighs heavily on your mind, such as how no developer wants to en bloc your condo<\/a> because of an ancient curse.<\/p>\n

Either way, they’ll maybe grunt three words at you over the next decade, so don’t worry too much about them.<\/p>\n

Condo security guard 4: the rebellious one<\/h2>\n

This is the guard who’s not really a guard, they\u2019re your buddy. When it comes to rules, their only response is <\/span>wink, wink, nudge, nudge<\/span><\/i>. Go ahead and leave your old sofa in the carpark, instead of carrying it to the communal dump. Go on and use that BBQ pit which you didn’t pay to reserve — they won’t tell.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re always on your side you see, unlike those <\/span>ngeow (read: petty) <\/span><\/i>management committee types. And you’ll think they\u2019re awesome, like an uncle you’ve never had. When New Year comes around, they’ll probably get a personal <\/span>ang bao <\/span><\/i>from you.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’ll be great… until the day a neighbour flicks a lit cigarette onto your balcony, or blasts Nicky Minaj at two in the morning. That’s when you’ll realise they\u2019re not enforcing the rules on <\/span>them <\/span><\/i>either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Condo security guard5: the village storyteller<\/h2>\n

This is the guard who has a range of anecdotes, all of which require between 30 minutes and infinity to tell. The first time you meet him, you will be entertained by a two hour prologue to his life story – starting from the time he was born in a fishing village in country X, to his stint as an exotic bird catcher in the Amazon.<\/p>\n

Every time you meet him, you’ll develop new techniques to abruptly end conversations – because he will <\/span>never<\/span><\/i> stop. His story keeps going, minute after minute, hour after hour. And if you have the image of a wizened old man, think again. Some security guards who fit this role seem to be about 22 years old. <\/span><\/p>\n

Condo security guard 6: the political dissident<\/h2>\n

This is the security guard who constantly rails to the cleaners, management council, other guards, and any willing ear about the terrible state of today’s society. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you can name an issue, be it your expensive mortgage or a pain in your left toe, they\u2019ll proudly proclaim they know what\u2019s causing it. <\/span><\/p>\n

They know who to blame too: it’s the government. And that doesn’t mean they favour any particular replacement – they hate all the opposition parties too. Just nod and go along with it.\u00a0<\/span>A fair warning: Do not, under any circumstance, approach these guards during periods such as the General Elections or by-elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Condo security guard 7: the noob<\/h2>\n

This is the default state of every new condo security guard. They don’t recognise the residents, don’t know how to direct movers\/visitors\/cabs within the condo compound, and generally look like they have a literal question mark hanging over their heads all the time.<\/p>\n

They will vastly over-complicate any request you make of them. If you tell them to inform you when the pizza man arrives, it’s the equivalent of asking them to crack the Da Vinci code. If you tell them to contact maintenance because the function room air-con is down, it’s like asking them to build a sentient robot out of garbage cans and one sock.<\/p>\n

Whatever it is you need, ask someone else. But don’t worry, they\u2019ll get the hang of it and, in time, turn into one of the types of security guard we know so well!<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

There you have it, folks! The wild and wonderful world of Singapore’s condo security guards, laid bare for all to see! Whichever one’s your favourite, remember that they are doing their best. Living in Singapore comfortably should also include safety and security and what better representation is there for the condominium lifestyle than the ever-there security guards!<\/p>\n
