What happens when support for G&G starts to dwindle?

Dear Residents,

Happy Wesak Day to the Buddhist Community!

Here is an extract from SJ Alert. Although you have been having a relative peaceful sleep and no reports of crime, there were indeed crimes happening around us. It is just that our G&G is keeping us safe and that we are now beginning to take this for granted.

This happened in USJ26 from a resident called Akil. He lamented that crime has returned to his neighborhood since the G&G stopped due to the non-cooperation of the residents there.

The subscription collection are now due. We hope we will not suffer this fate and that all the residents in USJ 11/3 will come forward to keep the G&G going to safeguard our neighborhood from crime.

Please read the following:

We had a break-in at our neighborhood yesterday between 4pm and 6pm during the heavy thunderstorm. The owner left the house at 4pm and returned around 6pm to find gate and door ajar. A suspicious silver MPV was seen leaving in a hurry when the owner returned with some tools used for breaking into the house, left behind. The owner reported the incident to the Police.

This is the THIRD (3) case since GnG stopped due to some residents apathy. And the thieves knows this and are targeting USJ 26. They being "professional", will always choose a time when we are most vulnerable for example:

1) Heavy rain, so even if the alarm sounds, no one will take notice.
2) Weekdays when no one is at home
3) Power failure (when CCTV and alarm not working)

Looking at the pattern…the guard can only serve as a deterrent….
And this was the case for the 2+ years crime free neighbourhood (while we had GnG implemented)
For those who don’t believe in GnG, IT WORKS……..

Hopefully, with these incidents, the residents at USJ26 can start to cooperate again.

Regards,

Akil
