i-City promotes secure zone

SHAH ALAM: The Shah Alam police is planning a new police station at the western boundary of i-City which will enable them to respond to calls within a minute and offer 24-hour patrol, i-Bhd said in a statement yesterday.

It said other safety services such as the ambulance and fire brigade will respond within 15 minutes of any call from i-City.

i-Bhd said in the interim, the security measures planned by the police included linking the current CCTV surveillance in i-City to the Shah Alam police station. It added that the police also planned to train i-City in-house security staff.

"In today's competitive environment, a safe and secure zone is an additional competitive edge for i-City and the strategic alliance with the Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) is an important milestone in ensuring i-City can compete to attract the international investors to Malaysia.

"i-City has been designed to be managed as one large complex with a controlled tenant mix. There is CCTV surveillance as well as patrolling guards.

The concierge in i-City serves both as a meeting point as well as a one-stop centre," it said.

i-Bhd said more importantly, for i-City Data Centre Park, the operations required not only restricted access but had also to be secured against info-security risks.
