An interview with my security guard!


Paramanivam is the security guard who guards the security in my neighbourhood. He looks everybit as menacing as an ex-green beret on a diet, but was surprisingly rather soft spoken when I approached him.

Like most (if not all) other security guards, Paramanivam has two specialised skills - waving to everyone that passes by and sleeping at night.

Below is the recorded interview of our little conversation. I mean like, where the hell else would you find anyone interviewing their security guard? Yeah, that's what I thought.



Bolehland: Ini abang punya kerja tetap atau ada kerja lain?
Mr. Para: Oh, mestilah ada kerja lain. Kerja ni tak cukup makan lah.

Bolehland: Jadi biasanya pada waktu pagi...?
Mr. Para: Pagi saya potong rumput lah...ikut kawan. Kami semua pergi potong rumput sama-sama lah. (Ed: Wow, I didn't know my guard was a grasscutter!)

Bolehland: Kerja abang ini ada pakai 'weapon' tak?
Mr. Para: Tak lah.

Bolehland: Pistol ke? Baton? Semua tak ada?
Mr. Para: Tak ada. Tapi selalunya adalah. (Ed: Huh??)

Bolehland: Jadi you pakai apa kalau ada perompak?
Mr. Para: Saya tak masuk rumah punya. Saya tengok dari jauh dan tunggu polis datang atau tunggu arahan dari 'call centre' saya.

Bolehland: Kalau begitu, apa gunanya nak 'hire' security guard?
Mr. Para: Saya tak tau lah...cuma kerja saja lah. Gaji rendah, tak semestinya perlu bahayakan nyawa saya.

Bolehland: Apakah kaedah yang diguna untuk mengendalikan orang yang disyaki?
Mr. Para: Kalau kita ada dua orang, boleh 'settle' dialah, tapi kalau satu orang...kasi repot polis. Kita inform dia punya jiran atau apa lah.

We then paused a moment for Mr. Para to catch his breath, because he wasn't used to speaking to people in the middle of the night. I asked him to posed and he happily obliged.

Then, we proceeded to the second half of the interview!



Bolehland: Maksudnya kalau ada apa-apa...?
Mr. Para: Kira suspeklah dia tu. Kita tengok dulu.

Bolehland: Kalau abang nampak macam wanita cantik kena ugut oleh perompak, apa abang akan buat?
Mr. Para: Macam mana tu?

Bolehland: Abang akan membahayakan nyawa untuk selamatkan dia tak? Atau tunggu dan lihat?
Mr. Para: Oh, tak lah. Kita repot polis dan tunggu orang datang lah. (Ed: Okay, so this is no gentleman...)

Bolehland: Apakah pengalaman yang paling bahaya?
Mr. Para: Sini tak adalah. Kita tak boleh gaduh dengan dia, tak boleh terus tangkap lah. Kita kena 'confirm' suspek itu dulu, nanti kalau-kalau dia bawa senapang atau parang ke, mampuslah saya.

Bolehland: Macam mana nak 'confirm'?
Mr. Para: Kita tengok dia, kalau suspek...kita repot polis dan tunggu lah. (Ed: This is a man of patience.)

Bolehland: Apakah yang paling tak suka tentang kerja ini?
Mr. Para: Erm (pauses)...kita kerja mestilah suka.

Bolehland: Apa rasanya kena berjaga sepanjang malam? Abang rasa bosan tak?
Mr. Para: (Chuckles) Bosan, mestilah bosan.

Bolehland: Tak ada 'entertainment' ke atau apa?
Mr. Para: Kadang-kadang saya tulis atau baca buku lah. Tak ada benda lain untuk buat lah.

Bolehland: Buku lucah ke?
Mr. Para: (Chuckles) Mana ada lah buku lucah!

Bolehland: Abang ada 'shift' tak?
Mr. Para: Saya kerja setiap malam dari 11 malam hingga 7 pagi. Sebulan saya cuma cuti dua kali lah, masa tu ada orang lain ambil 'shift' saya.

And that brings us to the end because I didn't want to bother the man anymore. I reckon he needed to go back to sleep because I can see that he was a little tired. Hey good right this job? People pay you to sleep!
