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.

The Committee
