MAJOR RENOVATION WORKS IN MALACCA COMPLETED
Finally on 20th. December 2017, our Malacca renovation works have been completed.
It has practically took us 9 months to complete this project. Originally, it was supposed to be completed in 2 months.
The main contractor was unable to meet his dateline and the main air well gutter job was not correctly mounted.
Water flowed down the air well gutter until we have to buy a plastic sheeting to prevent water seepage.
We then organise our own Malacca gutter workers to change the gutters.
With at least 4 workers and their boss around, the job was completed in 1 day.
We also installed a new Panasonic 1 HP split aircond in the senior room as well.
A single metal bed, mattress and 2 single mattresses were bought for parents single beds.
Now, the room is livable and ready for occupancy.

ANOTHER WAY TO UTILISE WIFI ROUTER FOR SECURITY SURVEILLANCE
We have used the wireless router connected to a webcam for remote surveillance system.
The wireless router provides Internet access while the webcam is pointed at the TV monitor that has 10 CCTV cameras placed at different floors of a Commercial building.
Remote viewing of the premises can be done by smart phones from different places.

TESTING DIGITAL LIBRARY
We are currently testing our digital library by connecting the wireless router to the intranet/Internet router.
As we have a Public and Private network, we can allow the public to access our digital library content.
Besides our digital library content, children can use our XOs to learn computing, simple programming skills.
The Private network only allows authorised personnel to access the digital library and Internet access via our wireless router.

RETENTION POND WORKS ACCORDING TO DESIGN
Our retention pond is working to its function.
Storm water came down after the morning downpour, and after sometime, it flows into the retention pond.
In no time, the retention pond is full and water overflows into the open drain cavity.
