Newletter August-September

Dear Residents,

As we have mentioned in our last update, in view of the escalating crime in and around our area, we are planning on stepping up our security measures to ensure we curb potential crimes and deter criminals from coming into our area.

All entries and exit into our area via the 3 existing entries will be beefed up. Beginning end August (before the Raya holidays), all vehicles entering into USJ 11/3 without valid car stickers will be subjected to more stringent checks. If you are operating a home tuition centre or kindergarten in our area, kindly make sure that your clients apply for the vehicle passes. More details follows.

More cases reported:

Two recent cases were reported involving robbers breaking into houses with parangs. There were cases reported in USJ 11/2 last week and in USJ 11/1 only on Wednesday, August 17 at around 8:30am. Four masked Chinese speaking robbers armed with parangs climbed over the fence into the semi-D home and robbed the tenants of notebooks, cash and other valuables.

The robbers are getting more daring by the day. This means they will attack at any time and at any day. And the pattern suggests that they are actively operating in and our surrounding areas. 

There was also a break-in reported at the Thai restaurant in USJ 11/3 last week in the middle of the night.

Heightened security measures:

Because of these incidences and with the long Raya holidays around the corner, we will strengthen the security in our areas.

We are attaching the forms for car stickers and passes for you to fill in and have it filled up and send it to your Street Leaders. All cars without cars stickers will be stopped and screened as such please be advised as we need your cooperation. If you have friends and relatives coming to visit, please inform them that they will need to register at the entrances.

All home tuition centers and kindergarten will be required to have their clients vehicles applying for passes. Again, the forms are incorporated in this newsletter. Kindly fill it up and send it back to your Street Leaders.

All other vehicles like contractors will also be registered.

Car stickers:

The attached form can be used to apply for car stickers if you have not done so. All residents in USJ 11/3 will be issued car stickers upon completion of the forms. You will have until end of September 2011 to apply for the new cars stickers if you have not done so.

With the issuance of stickers to all paying and non paying members alike, it will allow for better enforcement as residents in our area can easily be identified.  Please return the old stickers/passes when you apply for the new ones. For more information, please check with your Street Leaders, for example, limited car stickers will be issued out.

Kamal from No. 10 USJ 11/3K:

This particular resident who has been harassing the Committee since we started the G&G is at it again. This time he complained to the MPSJ and as a result, our Chairman was summoned to attend a meeting in the middle of the day on Friday, 19 August 2011 this week.

His complaint now is focused on opening up USJ 11/3K. His reason – we are blocking emergency vehicles. We are sure a lot of residents will be against that but did not make their stand known to MPSJ and the relevant authorities.

Because of this continued situation, we would like to invite this resident for a dialogue with the Committee and the residents. We will be writing to him officially to come and have a dialogue with the Committee and residents.

The targeted date is 10 September 2011 @ 10 am – USJ 11/3K. You are all invited to meet with this resident to understand the nature of his complaint.

Police Dialogue:

We are also making arrangement with the Police to come to our area for a dialogue with the residents. It will also be held at the same place, date and time. Please do make time for this event.

We have also been advised by the Police, that residents going away for long periods of time especially during the holidays to register with them so that they know which house they will need to pay more attention to when they come and do their rounds.

The Committee is extremely grateful to the Police for they have been very cooperative and is ever willing to work with us, the Resident’s Association to minimize crime.

Thank you.

August Newsletter - Updated

Dear Residents,

After our RED ALERT notice which was sent to all residents in USJ 11/3 last week, more cases were reported with regards to this suspected gang and other incidents

In view of the many incidents in and around our area, we are going to take steps to ensure we curb potential crimes and criminals coming into our area. We plan to implement and strengthen our security checks at all our 3 entry and exits.  

Incidents reported:

We would like to highlight a few recent cases which took place. There were two robbery cases reported in USJ 18 and USJ 20 a few weeks ago.

And just last week, the infamous masked gang armed with parang also strucked USJ 18 twice. In the first incident, 3 men came in a Toyota Avanza and robbed the tenants of a house while in another incident, 2 men came on a motorcycle.

In another incident in USJ 17, a resident had parked his car in front of the Seven-Eleven and entered the shop to buy something while his wife was still in the car. A couple of men then entered the car and drove off with her in it. They then brought her to a secluded area, raped and abandoned her and drove away the car.

These are just cases that we know of and are highlighting it to you.

 

Beefing up our security measures:

Because of this incident, we are not taking any chances but to put everyone on high alert and we will beef up the security.

For a start, all tuition centers operating in our area are advised to get the visitor passes. Likewise all contractors & renovators will be registered and issued with work passes.

Paying and non paying members alike WILL ALL be issued with car stickers. This will allow for better enforcement as residents in our area can easily be identified.  Please check with the respective Street Leaders if you have not been issued any car stickers as soon as possible.

Once this is exercise is done, strict checks on entry and exist on cars without valid stickers will be carried out. We hope to get the full co-operation from all residents.

Police Dialogue:

We are making arrangement with Tuan Basil of USJ8 Police Station to come to our area for a dialogue with the residents. Once we have established the date, we will inform all the residents of the venue, date and time. This is also in preparation for the Raya holidays getaway.

According to the Police, they also suspect that some of the robbers may be residents within the communities who knows have been observing our every movement. They could also be the ones who are objecting to the G&G program, in ensuring that it fails.

The Police have been very cooperative and is willing to work with the Resident’s Association to minimize crime.

We would like to advise all residents to be busy bodies especially when we noticed strangers in our community and be united in the interest of our family safety.

Thank you.

August Newsletter

Dear Residents,

Firstly, to our entire Muslim residents, we would like to wish you “Selamat Berpuasa”!

We have sent a RED ALERT to all residents in USJ 11/3 a few weeks ago due to two recent incidents which happened days apart in our neighboring USJ 11/4.

Unfortunately, one of our residents became a victim to this very gang last Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at around 8:30pm despite the warning sent out by the Committee days earlier. There were 5 cases also reported on the same day in our area USJ 11. This was informed by the police who were investigating the case that day. This gang is still very active targeting mostly corner or end-lot houses with high fences and blocked out gates. They strike at around 8 pm or early in the morning at around 6 am.  So, be warned. They may strike again in this area.

Change of security measures:

Because of this incident, we are not taking any chances but to put everyone on high alert. The security will be beefed up. Despite the poor response in collection, we have decided to change the security process.

From 8am to 8pm, 6 guards will be on duty. We will revert to the previous system whereby we will station 3 guards at the entrance during these times. The other 3 guards will patrol the streets assigned to them but they will only look after the houses and vehicles parked along the streets with valid stickers. Three gates will remain open during these times

From 8pm to 8am, there will be 4 guards and the procedure will be maintained as what it is now. Only two gates will be opened during these times.

This system will take effect this Wednesday, August 3, 2011.

Car stickers:

Cars with expired yellow stickers will be asked to return it at the entrance with immediate effect. Please return your old stickers and ask the new ones from your street leaders. Your cars will not be looked after if they are still using the old stickers. You may also be stopped for details so please avoid this and make sure you ask for your new stickers.

For non-paying residents, the Committee is issuing a different colored sticker for you. If you have not collected your stickers, kindly look for your street leaders. If you do not display any stickers, we will assume that you are a non-resident and you will be stopped by our guards. To avoid any inconvenience, please apply for your stickers.

All residents are encouraged to abide by these simple rules. We want to keep strangers out of our area so your cooperation is very much appreciated.

Cooperation from Police:

We plan to have a dialog with the police again soon. We are looking engaging with the police to heighten the patrols needed in our area especially during the coming Raya holidays. This is also to ensure that besides our guards, the police will be coming into our area to enhance the security. Their presence is important to deter crime in our area.

Passes for Contractors, Private tutors and Kindergarten operators:

The Committee is looking into issuing passes to these categories of people coming into our area to ease their entry and exit. This way, the checks at the entry will be speeded up. Please look out for more information on this matter in weeks to come.

Collection:

This topic has been highlighted many times but it seems some residents have not paid for reasons only known to them.

Please make your payment to the respective street leaders. If you have problems getting to them, kindly call any of the other Committee members.

The Committee has come up with certain ideas and suggestions on how to improve the collection. One of it is to look for retirees who can spare their time to help collect the money for a small token in return. We hope to recruit at least 2 persons, one for rows A-J and one more for rows K-P. Please contact any of the Committee members if you are keen or if you know of someone in our area who is able to help us do the job.

Increased patrolling:

The Committee will help patrol the area. They will be in their cars in different times with their beacon on. If you would like to play a part, please do purchase a beacon or get in touch with the Committee and we will let you know where to purchase one. For your information, most of the Committee members own and paid for one unit to be used in our area.

You can also play an active role by boosting the morale of the guards such as spending some of your time with them at the guard house. You can also help to be the eyes and ears and watch out for suspecting cars moving in and around our area. Please do alert our guards should you see anything which need immediate attention. Just to remind you, the number to call is:

+6012 – 636-HELP or +6012 – 636-4357

Further improvements:

We will be looking at ways to improve on the security services. A discussion with the security company is on the works. This includes filtering out and removing non-performing guards. We have had some feedback on their services from you and we do agree that there is room for improvement especially with relations to the newer guards. We will definitely take this up with the security company. We would like to thank you for your feedback. Please do continue to do give us such feedback as it will allow us to address these and other issues with the security company.

And finally, please be alert at all times! The criminals are still very active in USJ. Let us not take our safety and the safety of our families for granted.

Thank you.
