A DIFFERENT ENDING... | Modernized Sigma Elevator - Gedung Veteran RI, Jakarta

Previously we know that the mall scenic elevators are getting replaced with TKE. Different than that, the office elevator is receiving the not-so good news. One of six office elevators are modernized by Pillar right after they did the cab refurbishment. The result is so-so, which I felt that the elevator is getting slower than previous one. The brake is relatively harsh especially when going down.

What's unusual is that the elevator is still uses 2010s "fake KDS" buttons despite most of the Pillar elevators from the 2020s uses DMG-NBSL buttons. The famous 12A and 12B floor numbering is still retained hence the mall's floor numbering is changed to reduce suffixes.

In this video, a random people (most likely from the mall's management) tested out the alarm and intercom, which means that in case of emergency, it's still connected with the intercom.

Do you think this modernization is good, or not?
