August 2009 Newsletter

Dear Residents,

We are pleased to inform you that the event for the residents “Malam Famili Ceria” which was held recently to commemorate our first anniversary, went very well. The attendance was beyond our expectations and was overwhelming. We believe we have also had visitors from our neighbouring areas which we were very happy about. However, this has caused some shortfalls such as the food which had run out faster than we anticipated. In fact, we were worried about the excess food and had prepared plastic bags for takeaways!

But we thank you, our dear residents for your support and it has motivated us to work harder for you. We will make sure we are better prepared next time when we organize such events again in the future.

Now back to some more local and pressing issues. In case you are not aware of, the crime rate has gone up significantly for the last month or so. This was posted on our website and is reproduced for your information:

While we are sleeping easier these days with our G&G that our 24x7 security services provide, please do pause spare a thought that we actually did not resolve any problems. We merely shifted it to our unfortunate neighbours in our surrounding areas.

Here are some of the reported cases in the last few days:

i) Sat, July 11, house at USJ 11/4N broken into;
ii) Tue, July 14, house at USJ 11/4M broken into;
iii) Wed, July 15 morning, break in reported at house in USJ 11/4B.
iv) Sun, July 12, 2 cars reported stolen from USJ 11/2
v) Wed, July 15 - dawn/morning 300 newspapers stolen from vendor in front of 7-11
vi) Sat, July 11 - car stolen by Indian man in USJ 6/3A at 1:30 pm
vii) Tue, July 14 at USJ 6/3B a man got robbed in front of his house at noon

A few weeks ago,a family in USJ 11/5 got robbed, 2 cars stolen and victims driven to ATM to withdraw cash.


Fencing:

The fencing project has been successfully carried out despite the many threats and complaints made by unknown people (apart from Gilbert and gang), especially to the MPSJ. The fence has no doubt enhanced our security capabilities.

But since the installation of the fence, there were some people who had vandalized it. They have used the drums as ladders to climb over the fence while there were also some who deliberately bent the fence, damaging it along the way. The drums are not removed because it provides additional safety, as it will then be visible to drivers at night.

We seek your cooperation by snapping pictures of people who vandalized our fence and submit it to us. We will use that to lodge police reports so that action can be taken against these irresponsible people.


Rubbish Disposal:

It has also been reported that some people, maids included has started to pile rubbish in front of the fence. This is not only unsightly; it also shows that we have irresponsible people living in our midst. What you can do as a resident, do not confront them. Just take pictures of them in their act and find out where they live. We will publish them in our website and newsletter for all to see.

There is a schedule printed on a signboard near the playground on when the rubbish disposal people will come around. You can use that to plan and ensure that the accumulated rubbish such as garden refuse can be collected in front of your homes rather than having rubbish strewn everywhere.


CCTV:

The next project the committee would like to carry out (on a urgent basis) is the CCTV project. CCTVs will be installed at strategic entrances and will be monitored on a regular basis. For this project to take off, we will require additional funding.

As many people have donated generously for the fencing, we do not intend to run anymore fund raising campaigns but instead would like to appeal to the people who had not subscribed to the security services or new residents to do so. We would like to appeal and seek your kind cooperation to pay the RM50 monthly subscription so that we can use the additional funds to improve our security. Reminder notice will be sent to your home just in case you have overlooked to pay.

So, if your neighbour has not paid, please do encourage them to do so. We hope to install the CCTV system latest by end of September 2009. For your information, evaluations are already taking place to choose the best system available, given our limited budget.


Suggestions and Ideas:

Again, the committee would like invite you to give us your feedback, ideas and suggestions on how we can improve further and the types of programs that you would like us to carry out for you. Our goal remains the same, to ensure our kampong is a safe and happy place to live in.

The Committee wishes to recruit more street leaders to better serve the community. If you have the time and enjoy contributing your services to the community, please do contact our Chairman, Mr. Ng Peng Hin at +6019 333 1859 or any of the Committee members.
