Newletter August-September



Dear Residents,

As we have mentioned in our last update, in view of the escalating crime in and around our area, we are planning on stepping up our security measures to ensure we curb potential crimes and deter criminals from coming into our area.

All entries and exit into our area via the 3 existing entries will be beefed up. Beginning end August (before the Raya holidays), all vehicles entering into USJ 11/3 without valid car stickers will be subjected to more stringent checks. If you are operating a home tuition centre or kindergarten in our area, kindly make sure that your clients apply for the vehicle passes. More details follows.

More cases reported:

Two recent cases were reported involving robbers breaking into houses with parangs. There were cases reported in USJ 11/2 last week and in USJ 11/1 only on Wednesday, August 17 at around 8:30am. Four masked Chinese speaking robbers armed with parangs climbed over the fence into the semi-D home and robbed the tenants of notebooks, cash and other valuables.

The robbers are getting more daring by the day. This means they will attack at any time and at any day. And the pattern suggests that they are actively operating in and our surrounding areas. 

There was also a break-in reported at the Thai restaurant in USJ 11/3 last week in the middle of the night.

Heightened security measures:

Because of these incidences and with the long Raya holidays around the corner, we will strengthen the security in our areas.

We are attaching the forms for car stickers and passes for you to fill in and have it filled up and send it to your Street Leaders. All cars without cars stickers will be stopped and screened as such please be advised as we need your cooperation. If you have friends and relatives coming to visit, please inform them that they will need to register at the entrances.

All home tuition centers and kindergarten will be required to have their clients vehicles applying for passes. Again, the forms are incorporated in this newsletter. Kindly fill it up and send it back to your Street Leaders.

All other vehicles like contractors will also be registered.

Car stickers:

The attached form can be used to apply for car stickers if you have not done so. All residents in USJ 11/3 will be issued car stickers upon completion of the forms. You will have until end of September 2011 to apply for the new cars stickers if you have not done so.

With the issuance of stickers to all paying and non paying members alike, it will allow for better enforcement as residents in our area can easily be identified.  Please return the old stickers/passes when you apply for the new ones. For more information, please check with your Street Leaders, for example, limited car stickers will be issued out.

Kamal from No. 10 USJ 11/3K:

This particular resident who has been harassing the Committee since we started the G&G is at it again. This time he complained to the MPSJ and as a result, our Chairman was summoned to attend a meeting in the middle of the day on Friday, 19 August 2011 this week.

His complaint now is focused on opening up USJ 11/3K. His reason – we are blocking emergency vehicles. We are sure a lot of residents will be against that but did not make their stand known to MPSJ and the relevant authorities.

Because of this continued situation, we would like to invite this resident for a dialogue with the Committee and the residents. We will be writing to him officially to come and have a dialogue with the Committee and residents.

The targeted date is 10 September 2011 @ 10 am – USJ 11/3K. You are all invited to meet with this resident to understand the nature of his complaint.

Police Dialogue:

We are also making arrangement with the Police to come to our area for a dialogue with the residents. It will also be held at the same place, date and time. Please do make time for this event.

We have also been advised by the Police, that residents going away for long periods of time especially during the holidays to register with them so that they know which house they will need to pay more attention to when they come and do their rounds.

The Committee is extremely grateful to the Police for they have been very cooperative and is ever willing to work with us, the Resident’s Association to minimize crime.


Thank you.

The Committee
11 Trees @ USJ
