Dear Residents,
It has been a memorable month for us in USJ 11/3 for the months of May/June. It started with the Family Day on May 19, 2012, celebrating 4 years since the formation of our Resident Association. It was then followed by the approval for the relocation of the Futsal Court by MPSJ which to be fully sponsored by the owner of the new bungalow. There was also a walk-about for the new committee members which quite literally turned into an ‘eye-opener’ on the types of neighbors we had – more on that later.
Security Fees:
The company that provides us the security services has not raised their rates since they started offering their services to us more than three years ago. Recently, they have requested that their fees be raised by some 10% to cover rising costs. The Committee felt that it was a reasonable request and have since approved the hike in their fees. Despite that, their rates are considered to be reasonable and are much lower on the average as compared to most of other security company’s fees offering similar services around our area.
This has obvious impact on the ability for us to carry on with the security services. It has increased our cost of operations. So, how are we going to manage this increase in cost?
We, the Committee has made a conscious effort NOT to raise the monthly fee of RM50.00. We will do our level best to cover the cost by working harder to convince the many residents who have yet to pay to do so. However, we will only be successful if all of us were to chip in and do our bit for our own benefit. So, we are turning to you for help. Please do pay if you have not done so and if you did, you can help by speaking to your neighbors to get those who have not paid to start contributing.
Family Day Celebrations May 19, 2012:
A lot of residents came out to celebrate a day of togetherness at our kampong at our recent Family Day celebration on the USJ 11/3 padang. Several VIPS including our ADUN, YB Hanna Yeoh and MP for Kelana Jaya, YB Loh Gwo Burne joined in the day of fun.
The firefighting squad from the local BOMBA fire station in Subang Jaya, brought in their fire engine for demonstration. Throughout the night, entertainment was provided ex-Radio 4 DJ, Joey. A clown was seen entertaining the children and when the food were served, many joined in the lines to have their share of the local fare which included Mee Goreng, Kueh Teow goreng, Satay, Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai and much more.
The successful event was generously sponsored by our ADUN’s office, MP for Kelana Jaya, RHB Bank and many others. The Committee wish to record their appreciation for their generosity.
Futsal Court:
With the approval from MPSJ, work on the Fustal court has commenced on June 18. It is expected to take about 8 weeks for the completion of the construction of the new court. It is a full size Futsal court as compared to the existing one, fully fenced and fully lighted.
It is being funded by the owners of the bungalow to avoid misunderstanding between the futsal players and the owner as the present court is just next to the bungalows. Once completed, it will be officially handed back to MPSJ for their maintenance and for the benefit of the residents especially the teenagers who use the court regularly.
As for the existing court, it will be demolished and that area fully landscaped with trees and plants.
Collection:
There was a walk-about focusing on Streets 3A, 3B and 3C by the Committee menbers, where collection was recorded as the lowest in our area. After our recent walkabout sessions over the past weekend, we are happy to inform you that the collection has improved. However, we feel there is still room for improvement.
It is worth to let you know that there are still some residents while obviously benefiting from the security services are still very much reluctant to pay for reasons only known to them. To this we say, please do thank your generous neighbors for paying on your behalf and giving you that peace of mind. That is the least you can do!
During the walkabout, it was a revelation to many of our new Committee members. They were surprised with some of these resident's reaction towards them. Some of the residents who did not pay, claimed that there is no difference as crime is still rampant in our area. Really?
We do admit that crime still persists in our area and there were a few cases of house break-ins reported throughout the last few years since we implemented the security services. This is a far cry from the almost weekly reports of break-ins before we had this service. And there are ZERO cases of snatch thief cases since we started and virtually no more car thefts.
That speaks volumes of the success in our security services which has made our area a much safer place to live in. It undoubtedly, contributed to the decline in the crime rate although we never did get the official acknowledgement. We sincerely hope that those residents who did not contribute or who has just stopped as “my neighbor also do not pay so why should I?”, please be considerate to your paying neighbors and do your part. It is after all, also for your safety and the safety of your family too.
Having said that, there were also very good neighbors who did not hesitate to pay when we met with them, some complaining that no one came to see them or they simply did not know who to pay to. Well, to you – we say thank you as it made our voluntary job appreciated. And the good news is, there are quite a number of you.
Publication of payment list:
We would to, for the first time, publish the list of names that has paid and all the related details. This is done for a few reasons:
1. To promote transparency
2. To provide a channel for verification
3. To keep you informed
Since this is the first time we are doing this, we would like to seek your help in letting us know if you spot an error. Please do let us know if you do detect errors as we can rectify it as soon as possible. With the updated list we will also work on the new stickers that we will use on the plaque outside your gatepost at a later stage.
The publication of the names will be done on a 3 month basis. And if you have any suggestion, kindly drop us an e-mail or simply give any of us a call.
Thank you.
