Dear Committee,

Can we request to postphone this until we have at least 5 working days notice for the meet ? From the comment posted, many concern residents are keen to attend. They will be disapointed if they can't attend due to short notice (could this be the ploy by the opposition ?).

We should turn up in droves if not all, jam up the hall!

For better communication, suggest the following options in one go tentatively;

[1] Distribute leaflets at all our exit/entry points.
[2] Put up a big enough clearly visible impromptu notice/bunting/banner whatever, for all.
[3] SMS whatever mobile available and get all to forward.
[4] Blast the emails even at the last minute doesnt matter read/unread; set all residents' mail contacts ever ready.
[5] Go "word-of-mouth" too.

Thanks

If the committee is not in an appropriate vocal position out of diplomacy, please hand out a copy of the earlier published comment to the complainants and the panelist on my behalf, have them all answered.

"With due respect, I choose to believe that those complainants are educated people who do have a very dear home and beloved family and fully understood security is needed to protect themselves too. I choose to believe that those complainants do know very well at this time of economic crisis, crime rate shall and will shoot up and on top of that, USJ11/3 has been notoriously targeted by sinister thieves in the past. I also choose to believe that those complainants are fully aware and understood why the security is put up in USJ11/3 purely for safety purpose because the residents were hurt many times and living in fear.

Dear complainants, you know and yet you want them, the security out and open our gates to allow a free flow of the robbers to come in. May I know why? I do hope you very dear complainants do have conscience and do believe in God of your faith. Wanting other people being exposing to potential harm and danger is very cruel and is even more so despicable when encouraging it. Why must you fight so hard to make sure we are no longer protected so that the robbers could harm us; not that we do not have any cases to substantiate, proven time and again? Why! Why must you choose to do such thing in your life knowing very well once the gates are out, all the USJ11/3 residents are immediately put in a very precarious situation? How do you or would you like to choose to feel when someone gets hurt in the aftermath caused by your complaints? How do you want to say it in your prayers if ever you do embrace a faith?

I don’t understand why you complainants are feeling so frustrated and complained against us wanting to stay safely in USJ11, or why are you questioning the safety of our lives. Am I supposed to begin to suspect by tearing down the security, knowing very well, the robbers will have an old "market (USJ11/3)" revive who would be applauding, are in anyway connected. I hope this is definitely not the case. I don’t mean to be offending but I just couldn't reconcile the facts from beneficial point of view. What is your stake when the robbers begin their jobs in USJ11/3 once the gates are out?
The residents are seeking sincerely for safety benefit but the complainants are talking about monetary benefit. Which is more important? The lives of the residents/customers being threatened or the money/profit you want to make in the vicinity of your USJ11/3 neighborhood that you now wish to turn them into potential robbery victims?

What we, the majority residents of USJ11/3 whom had paid for the services gracefully and yet not complaining about those who didn’t, patiently waiting for these educated derelicts to come around and share the responsibility, are looking for some peaceful sleeps and avoid being harm by removing the potential danger having ourselves guarded.

Did the residents who put up the security seek to expose you complainants to the risk of being robbed or on the contrary provided you safety instead? Are you suggesting that allowing USJ11/3 to be crime infested shall increase your business? Or are you suggesting we should not cooperate with the police force to help reduce crime in our areas but instead invite more crime to put the police to test and waste more of the Government fund or taxpayers' money?

For the business entrepreneurs, I believe you are in business because you choose to sell your services, products, rapports and friendship but definitely not your conscience! Why don’t we learn to live together and deal with crime together appropriately, intelligently and maturely? I still am until today patronizing all the USJ11 shops and not disturbed by your complaints but allow me to say that "please don’t push your luck too far" just because I still choose to maintain my sentiments for you and remain impartial.

I have been in business long enough and I have never come across a case like this one, where the businessmen are trying so hard to separate themselves from the customers already in hand. Where is your entrepreneurship after all these years? What have you learned? This is definitely a mockery in your profession. Do more instead to attract more people to your shops and make more friends instead of enemies. The hot pursuit would only further drive a wedge deeper between the resident customers since they are in your neighborhood; why not make amend to the situation? If finally the complainants won, think seriously and carefully, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE RESIDENTS WHO WANTS SAFETY SHOULD FEEL ABOUT YOU? DO YOU WANT THEM TO LOVE YOU DEARLY FOR BETRAYAL OUT OF YOUR VERY OWN AGENDA AND PERSONAL GREED?

We are merely residents of our property, taking care of our livelihood decently, seeking for some very basic safe environment, nothing done selfishly, nothing done out of greed, nothing done to harm other people but please do not with ill-intent make our lives miserable.

You want to make good money but not make bad your good name. You want to make good customers over your neighborhood through friendliness but not make animosity over your neighborhood to build walls and wars. You want to live a good life making good money and doing no harm to the people around you but not sleep with a heavy heart every night carrying with you a betrayal of conscience.

Things aren’t that bad as it seems. Allow the majority who choose to have security, appeased and the majority allow yourselves to continue patronizing the businesses. Just bury the hatchet and let live happily as one whole good community.
