October 2010 Newsletter

Dear Residents,


1. SELAMAT HARI RAYA!

The Committee members of the USJ 11/3 Resident’s Association would like to wish all our Muslim residents and friends “Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri”. In following the practice of the Muslim community, we would also like to say “Maaf, Zahir dan Batin” to al our residents for any unintentional wrong doings in carrying our duties as your Committee members.

The following is an update on all the recent activities that have carried out to date and also up and coming activities.

2. Subscription for October 2010 to March 2011:

It is now time for us to start the collection for the next six months. Please pay your next 6 months subscription to your Street Leaders as soon as possible. Without your support; we will not be able to sustain our security services. We also encourage you to make payment for the next twelve months as it will make our tasks easier. The amount for six months is RM300 or RM50 per month. The Committee members would also like to inform you that they will be doing a ‘walk-about’ in the coming weekends so please extend your cooperation, residents are welcome to join the walk about. Check issue in favor of Persatuan Penduduk USJ11/3 Subang Jaya Selangor

Due to the increase break-ins in USJ a few months ago, we had to take some drastic measures to overcome that problem. This included issuing stickers to non paying residents to conduct stringent checks on vehicle without sticker at our entry/exit points, closed some of our gates, increased our supervision of the security company and changing some of the schedules of the guards on duty.

As usual, there were many resistances to change and there were some criticism as well from the residents. But we had no other choice if we are to ensure that our security is not compromised given our limited resources. Guards are instructed to get motorists to fill up the entry form, while doing so their image will be captured on CCTV footage. The good news is that the incidences of break-ins have dropped drastically after these drastic measures were implemented

However, there was one incident of robbery reported three weeks ago at a hair salon operating in USJ 11/3. Two men and one woman confronted the proprietors and the people in the shop and robbed them of their valuables and cash. The criminals are now getting bolder and are turning to confrontation and robbery so be careful and take precaution of your personal belongings. A new Camry parked in MPSJ compound was also stolen 3 weeks ago.

As for the Committee, we are constantly monitoring and reviewing the security measures that are already in place to ensure maximum effectiveness.

3. Insurance Scheme:

The burglary insurance coverage of RM10,000 per house hold with terms and conditions applied is now in force for paying residents with official receipt issued effective from 1 September 2010 until 31 August 2011. In incidences of claims, please ensure you have the current receipt. Hence, it is imperative that when you make payment, please insist for your receipt and keep it in a safe place.New subscribers will be added onto the list as it grows. Please make sure you pay your subscription if you have not done so. Your coverage will be automatic from that point on.

4. Lighting the Streets:

It has been our intention to light up the streets within USJ 11/3. The progress has been agonizingly slow and the application is now moving between MPSJ and TNB. The Committee is determined to ensure we succeed in this. We will be following up on this matter and will report the progress as and when there are updates.

5. Improvements to the infrastructure, Security system and others:

• CCTV cameras are being repositioned to ensure optimum coverage
• Pedestrian walkway at Gate 4 to be improved for safety purposes
• Drain cover to be replaced at Gate 6 as the original cover was stolen
• Small gates at 11/3A and Padang facing shops to be closed at midnight daily
• Small steps to be build at pedestrian gate in USJ11/3A replacing the damaged ones.
• Small gates at 11/3P and 11/3 to be closed at 10 p.m. daily
• Lighting at Gate 6 to be rectified and improved
• Committee will be writing to MPSJ to lodge complain on Futsal court surface, Telco towers installed at shops and removing the yellow lines painted along Jalan Perpaduan.

6. Car Stickers and Entry Passes:

All residents in USJ 11/3 are now issued with stickers to facilitate and reduce the checks done by our guards on duty at the exit and entry points. With this measure, the guards can focus on conducting the checks on outsiders. So, please ensure you put up the stickers onto the windscreens of your cars to avoid inconveniences.

As for the many tuition centers and kindergarten operating in our area, please ensure you ask the parents coming into our area to apply for the entry passes (through our street leaders) to avoid being stopped unnecessarily) at the entry and exit points.
