12 security guards (6 guards @ 2 entrance x 12 hrs shifts) at RM1,700/mth x 12 guards = RM20,400. This will be the monthly salary cost, inclusive petrol allowance to the guards.
Walkie talkies hopefully to be provided by the security firm.
Estimated cost to construct each boom gate = RM2,000 x 2 = RM4,000
Estimated cost to purchase clocking machine for committee to track that the guards have made their rounds (RM1,400) + 5 additional points (RM40/point) = RM1,600
Estimated cost of buying a table, chair, big umbrella, torchlight, baton, plus misc = RM3,000
Estimated cost of ang pow / duit raya for the 12 guards and 1 supervisor = RM1,500
Estimated cost to produce 1,200pcs car stickers at RM2,400
Other misc operating cost = RM10,000
Construction of guardhouse = Mr Paul Lim (64, Jalan SS22/27) has very kindly offered to sponsor the cost of constructing this. Thank you very much Paul.
We will eventually need two guard houses for 2 entrances/exit points.
Annual salary cost for 12 guards = RM20,400 x 12 mths = RM244,800
One time fixed cost = RM22,500
Total first year operation expenses = RM244,800 + RM22,500 = RM267,300
Estimated cost per house scenarios depending on number of houses who joins in:
200 houses = RM1,337 / 12 mths = RM112 / mth
400 houses = RM669 / 12 mths = RM56 / mth
500 houses = RM535 / 12 mths = RM45 / mth
600 houses = RM446 / 12 mths = RM38 / mth
With the increasing cost of living and inflation, expect the cost to go up rather than down.
Inform the residents the following:
· Our targeted estimated cost per house is between RM60 – RM70 per month.
· Final cost estimation will be worked out at the next committee meeting and everyone will be kept informed.

Boom Gate Project in Damansara Jaya
To Fellow Residents of Damansara Jaya
In Support of Gating and Guarding Our Neighborhood
Crime rate in Damansara Jaya has gotten from bad to worst. We attended the DJROA–Police dialogue (with ASP Ranjit) held on 17th June 2008 and we walked away disappointed at the lack of solution and direction. The police know exactly how bad the situation is; however, they are unable to do any more than what they are currently doing, which is grossly insufficient. We heard more excuses than positive reassurances from them.
Just last month, my father-in-law’s 2 year old Toyota Altis was car jacked right in front of my house (145, Jalan SS 22/27) on a Sunday morning at 9.30am by 3 robbers with parang and pistol. In the melee, my right wrist was slashed. We lost our car to the robbers. It was a very traumatic experience for me and my family that I would not wish to happen to any one else. Many other residents here too have experienced violent crimes right at their doorsteps.
It is time we, the residents take security into our own hands to protect ourselves, our families and our properties.
We have now formed a security committee just for this section of our neighborhood. It is headed by me and my neighbor John Chen (House #143) together with 10 other residents. We now seek the support from ALL the residents of this section of Damansara Jaya to come forward and help share the cost of installing two boom gates and maintain the hiring of full time security guards to turn our section into a gated and guarded neighborhood. This can only succeed if ALL of you join in and support this initiative.
We are proposing to place two boom gates at the junction of Jalan SS22/35 & Jalan SS22/48 and the junction of Jalan SS22/31 & Jalan SS22/41. We plan to also close up permanently the junction between small lane of Jalan SS22/33 & Jalan SS22/48. There are 700+ houses in this section. We hope ALL will participate.
The estimated cost per house can range from RM60 to RM70 per month depending on number of houses participating. Costs will include hiring of 12 or more security guards, setting up 2 permanent boom gates to monitor all traffic, and guards to patrol only our neighborhood. More details will be provided once we gauge the level of interest from the residents to participate in this idea. Remember, with a gated and guarded neighborhood it will increase the value of our property.
Do send us your comment or idea on this project. You may also share with us any experience that you have faced that you won't want it to happen to anyone else.
