Another Snatch Thief Case on road 27

This afternoon around 2:30pm I was in my master bedroom and suddently heard a scream of a lady from outside of the road. My instinct told me it must another snatch thief. Immediately I looked out of the window and not to my surprise I saw a Malay guy carrying a handbag running to his accomplice on a bike and speed away. I tried to note down the plate number unfortunately it was too far. How I wish the boom gate is up already so that all these snatch thieve will be blocked at the entrance.

Another Membership Drive Coming Saturday!!

Hi all, there will be another membership drive this saturday (Nov 8) from 10am-12n at the park. For those of you who have yet to sign up and pay, kindly bring along your cheque book that day.

Security Update (31 October 2008)

Dear All,

Here's more progress. Attached is the form from Homeguards for you to fill up. They need your details for their database and I need you to fill in and signed form as proof to MBPJ that we have 85% of residents supporting us on the security scheme. The forms will also be available tomorrow at the meet-the-resident forum. Please bring along your check books as we are starting the collections from now.

Remember, we are starting this from ground zero so please have patience while we work out all the kinks. Our target is to kick off the security on 1st December.

For those of you who can make tomorrow (Saturday) and want to find out more information, please come to the field along Jalan SS22/31. We'll be there from 10.00am to 12.00pm to answer whatever questions you may have and to hear feedback and suggestions from you.

For those of you who can't make it tomorrow but would like to pay up, you can do the following:

• Fill up the form and sign it.
• Prepare the check of RM150.00 to Sri Lara Joint Security Services Sdn Bhd.
• Drop it off to my house: 143, Jalan SS22/27. My wife is home most of the time, otherwise leave it in my mail box.
• Alternatively you can also drop it off to Lim Ann Liang's house, which is next to mine: 145, Jalan SS22/27.

Mr Yew have confirmed that Mr Thomas, the head of police for DJ will also be there so good time for you to meet him. In case of emergency he's the best person to call, other than ASP Ranjit so be there to get his number. Our MP Mr Tony Pua have not confirmed if he can come but will be good PR for him if he shows up.

Below are more incidents that happened around us while we wait for the security scheme to kick off. We just have to get this going for everyone's sake!

FYI, I will be away for 2 weeks from next week so you will not hear from me. I will be worried and thinking of my house when I'm gone!

I look forward to meeting you tomorrow. Let's make this a reality to better protect our neighborhood.

Thank you.John Chen

(1) Happened today 31 October 2008 - It has happened again just ten minutes ago (10.30am Friday 31st Oct). An Indonesian maid was walking back home alone from a clinic, passing along jalan SS22/27 towards the playground. As she passed in front of my house 40 SS22/27 she was stopped by 2 young Malay boys in a white small car ( possibly a Kancil), one of them came down on the pretext of asking for direction. He grabbed her necklace and her shouting for help was too late for nearby residents to do anything as by then the car had sped away towards the main road near the primary school (22/33). We therefore need this road to be closed completely and have just 2 entry and exit roads for this area.

(2) Happened on 24 October 2008 - I would like to share this with you and alert all in our neighborhood. At 7.40pm on Friday 24 Oct 08 as I got out of my car in front my house in SS 22/35 two Malay/Indonesian guys in a motorcycle rode past me and suddenly the pillion rider in a faded pink T-shirt jumped out of the motorcycle and dashed towards me carrying a knife. I threw my handbag away and he grabbed it and they sped off towards the field. All was over in less than one minute! I hope we can speed up the boomgate before someone else falls prey.

(3) Week of 13 October 2008 - Narrated by John Chen. I was walking along Jalan 22/27A dropping off the DJROA leaflet circular to the houses last Sunday with my wife when I met a gentleman about to leave his house. He told me just a few days ago, his car a Renault MPV which was parked in front of his house was vandalized. In a matter of minutes, the thieves took off with some parts of his car, probably to sell to workshops. What more can I say??!! If we had the security guards 24/7 the thieves would have thought twice before coming into this neighborhood.
