January 2012 Newsletter

Dear Residents,

Happy 2012 everyone!

An eventful year has passed us – it all seemed so surreal as if 2011 just began. How fast time flew past us all!

One thing is for sure. Climate changes have become more evident with heavy storms, including hailstones a few months ago hitting USJ 11/3. And now, we are all experiencing very hot weather. We are not spared as far as climate change is concern – hence do spare a thought when we start to generate carbon with our insatiable appetite for energy. Learn to switch off lights or electrical appliances should you not be using them.

One other important issue, we would like to highlight is the collection which has seemed to have dwindled drastically in the last few months. As we have mentioned so many times before, the security services in our area are from contributions of the residents here. Without your continual support, we may have to compromise our safety and the safety of our families as this service may eventually grind to a halt should we run out of funds.

For your information, the fee is capped still at RM50 a month, payable every six months, for a 24 hour non-stop security services. We do not intend to increase the fees as we would like to make sure it is an affordable service for all of us.

Please make your payment to your respective Street Leaders if you have not done so. All checks should be made payable to “Persatuan Penduduk USJ 11/3, Subang Jaya, Selangor”. Please do remember to ask for your receipts.

Annual General Meeting:

Our annual AGM for our Resident’s Association is confirmed on Saturday, 18 February 2012 at the USJ 11/3 playground at 4:00pm to 6:00pm.

For your information, your present committee has been serving you diligently for the last 3 years. The time has come to hand the reins over to a new committee who can carry on the task of overseeing the operations of the security services, etc.

Hence, we would like to invite all our paying residents to nominate potential candidates to the new committee. Please note - nominations and voting will be restricted to paying members only. Elections for the new Committee will be carried out during the AGM. Please do come forward if you think you can contribute to the well being of our “kampong”.

Also, at the AGM, we will be presenting paying and non-paying residents list and the accounts for 2011. You can scrutinize the accounts in more detail then.

Family Day Party:

Right after the AGM at the same location, we will be having a family day party where you can also get to know your new Committee for 2012. Our ADUN who has generously provided some funds will be joining us for this event. There will be free food and drinks including light entertainment. So come and join in for a night of fun in our ‘kampung”. All are welcomed.

Maintenance:

Maintenance work such as repairs and painting will be carried out on our infrastructure for our security such as our guard house, the chain link fence, the drums, etc. We apologize if there may be inconvenienced caused.

We will also be requesting MPSJ to build a high fence behind the new bungalows just next to the Futsal court in our USJ 11/3 playground, to prevent balls from being kicked into the compound of the two bungalows.

Security Services:

The committee has already met with the Police recently to look into illegal workers working in our area. With the assistance from the police, we can take preventive measures and ensure the that our area is free from potential threats from criminals.

As per our last Newsletter, compact cameras for guards manning the entrance will be issued soon. This is to capture drivers coming into our area who may refuse to sign on the forms provided or if they appear suspicious. The guards will be trained to use the camera. We hope with this additional measure, we will be able to enhance our security and will act as an effective deterrent against potential criminals.

And finally, with Chinese New Year just a couple of weeks away, the Committee would like to wish all our Chinese friends, “Gong Xi Fa Cai” and may the year of the Dragon brings you good health and prosperity!


Thank you.

The Committee
