SEASONS GREETINGS!

Dear Residents,

The Committee would like to thank all the residents who have supported our cause for the whole of 2010. We hope that through our joint efforts, we have indeed made our kampung a much safer place to live in.

And during this time of the year, we would like to wish all Malaysians within and outside our kampung a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - all the best for 2011"!

Nov-Dec 2010 Newsletter

Dear Residents,


2010 has been a challenging year for most of us in the Committee members. Quite frankly most of us were struggling to find time to meet and cope with the additional responsibilities in running the Resident Association and to look into the matters that affect our community.

However, it is our responsibilities and hence we have to find the will and time to cope somehow. Some of the Committee members have opted out or have not shown up for meetings hence hampering our progress and effectiveness in some ways. For the rest of us who are still pro-active, we will try our very best to cope with the added responsibilities that we have to shoulder. Otherwise, all the hard work will come to an eventual halt – something which we would very much like to avoid.

Collection:

The collection for the month of September 2010 has been very discouraging for certain streets. The following streets are showing a decline in collection:

USJ 11/3A, B, C and K. The rest of the streets, the collection have been very consistent. The Committee would be focusing on these few streets to try and improve our collection. This is crucial as without collection, our security services will come to a naught.

If you have not yet paid your subscription, kindly issue the cheques for RM300 for six months to “PERSATUAN PENDUDUK USJ11/3, SUBANG JAYA, SELANGOR”.

There has been suggestion that if this trend continues, the security focused will be disintegrated and manned by individual streets. The worse case scenario is, we will do away the security system in entirety due to the drop in subscription as we feel that it is not fair that you have to subscribe to your neighbour’s share. This is not the responsibility of the Committee alone and so if you feel that the security is important, kindly do the right thing and pay up your subscription.

Insurance Policies:

The insurance cover has been purchased for all the residents that have paid up the subscription. This covers any break-ins, thefts that have occurred. Please keep the original receipt as proof of payment in case you need to claim in an event of a break-in or theft.

The insurance coverage is for the period 1 September 2010 until 31 August 2011.

Infrastructure:

Improvement works will be carried out in the next few weeks for the following:

• Guard House at Gate no. 4, the area surrounding it will be covered with concrete as currently the rain has made the area soggy most of the time.
• At the same gate (Gate no. 4), there will be an opening and installation of a metal pipe handrail for facilitate pedestrian going in and out of our area.
• A small gate will be installed at Gate no. 6 near the Pizza and Satay Restaurant for convenience of our residents to gain access to the shops nearby.
• Replacement of the wooden bridge with a metal/handrail bridge at USJ 11/3A for access to the padang in USJ 11/2.
• Lighting at Gate no.6 will be rectified.

Car Stickers:

We would like to remind all residents to collect their car stickers if you have not done so. In the continual quest to improve on the security in our area, we intend to conduct more stringent checks into our area.

This will apply to parents who are sending their children to the tuition centre, etc. As long as there are no valid stickers on the car, the guards will be instructed to stop the vehicle. To avoid unnecessary inconvenience, kindly apply for your stickers if you are a resident in USJ 11/3. We also hope that all residents will cooperate and support the 100% checks on vehicles coming in to increase our security effectiveness.

As for all kindergarten and tuition operators, they are requested to apply for services passes for the parents coming into our area. This is to give them convenience to the entry and exit into our area without being stopped at the gates.

Attempted Break-ins:

For your information, there has been attempted break-ins and car thefts reported over the past months. There was an attempted to break into a house at No. 46, 11/3E on 15 November 2010 which happened around 12pm. There was also a attempted break-in/theft of a car just before Deepavali at 11/3L also at around about the same time.

We are far from being safe. Even with our heightened security measures, such incidences continue to happen. We can only be vigilant and constantly be on guard against such menace. For your information, there were a few houses that were broken into in the daytime over at USJ 11/4 some months back. This situation can only be reduced if we all cooperate and continue to help each other circumvent such incidences.

New Year Party:

The Committee plans to hold a New Year party at our playground sometime in early 2011. We would like to reiterate that the security subscription will not be used to fund any event organized for the community. Do watch out for more information in upcoming newsletter.

Thank you.

Subject: Kes Pecah Rumah Semasa Majlis Kahwin

Saya ingin kongsi bersama cerita malang yang berlaku semasa majlis perkahwinan adik saya semalam (28/11/2010). Kami sekeluarga mengadakan majlis kahwin semalam di USJ 22. Majlis semuanya berjalan lancer sehinggalah selepas tamat majlis jam 4 petang.

Kami sekeluarga mula mengesan beberapa kehilangan dompet, duit, kad kredit dan duit mas kahwin. Sehingga malam dianggarkan kami sekeluarga kehilangan dalam RM 2500 tunai. Selain itu beberapa dokumen-dokumen penting seperti kad kredit, IC, lesen memandu dan kad bank turut hilang. 

Kami mengesyaki 2 orang wanita melayu dewasa berumur sekitar 38-42 bersama 2 orang kanak-kanak iaitu seorang budak perempuan berumur antara 12-15 tahun dan seorang budak lelaki berumur antara 7-9 tahun terlibat dalam kegiatan mencuri ini. Mereka amat mesra dan beroperasi semasa pengantin sedang makan beradap. Mereka minta untuk solat dalam bilik dan mengunci pintu dari dalam sebelum menyelongkar bilik mencari barang berharga. Mereka memasuki semua bilik berdasarkan lokasi barangan yang hilang.

Mereka berpakaian baju kurung meron dan purple pada hari tersebut. Beberapa kes sebelum ini juga dilaporkan mereka menggunakan baju yang sama. Bertudung dan kulit hitam manis.  

Berdasarkan maklumat polis, ini adalah kes keempat  yang dilakukan oleh org yg sama yang berlaku di sekitar USJ dan Putra Height. Kami sedang cuba membantu pihak polis mengesan suspek dengan mengumpulkan gambar-gambar yang diambil semasa majlis tersebut.

Sehubungan itu, kepada sesiapa yang ingin mengadakan majlis perkahwinan di rumah diharap dapat berhati-hati.

BREAK-IN ALERT!!!

Dear Residents,

We would like to inform you that there were a series of break-ins reported on Wednesday, 20 October 2010 in neighbouring USJ 11/4. This happened around 2:10 pm. Three houses were broken into with much of their valuables stolen.

Please be vigilant and do not let your guard down. You can do so by making sure that your properties are properly secured, alarms armed and if you are away for a longer period of time, do inform your neighbours and the guards so that they can keep an eye on your property.

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.

7. Emergency Numbers:

Here are the numbers again to keep handy in case you need help but please only call in cases of emergency:

Vandalism along USJ 11/3K

There were incidences of vandalism reported earlier this week. It happened in the wee hours of Monday morning, 27 September 2010.  Four cars which were parked along USJ 11/3 K were sprayed with black paint. It most likely happened when the residents were sound asleep.

In view of this, you are advised to monitor and report any suspicious people loitering around your area. They may be up to some mischief. At the same time, we have alerted our guards to be on the lookout for such people.

Do not let your guard down and be alert at all times.
