What is more IMPORTANT than our family welfare and security !!

Quote from a resident who stay on road SS22/27A:
".....I fully support the proposal of having a gated community in our neighborhood. Our family's welfare and security which is now under threat, is DEFINITELY worth more than RM70.00 per month. With this in mind,It is my fervent hope that other residents can come out strongly to support this scheme"

More House Broke In Cases !!

Story from a resident who stay on road SS22/31:
"Security in DJ has turned very bad. My house was broken into in May. Despite having a car in the house, dog and alarm, that did not deter the burglars from tearing/ripping down my window and grill. Lucky no one was at home.I was told by the police, during that day, 3 other houses were broken into. In the past week, there were about 15 -20 cases.

Date of incident: 13 May 2008
Time of incident: 12.00pm (Once my alarm is activated, a call will be patched to my mobile phone)
Items taken: Watches, notebooks, ipod, ipod speakers, back up drives.
Interesting observation: They did not take my passport, loose cash amounting to 20-40 Ringgit and liquor"

Another Car is gone !!

When is this going to end?? What happen to our society now? This morning another CRV went missing from the car porch of a house on Jalan SS22/39. Owner woke up and found her CRV gone and her gates wide open and the control box near the gates was dismantled. I was advised to put a pad lock on the auto gate before sleep every night since the crime is very rampant thesedays!!

Two more roberries again in our neighborhood !!

A resident of Jalan SS22/32 was robbed of her hand bag yesterday right outside her house by to 2 men on a motorbike during the day time. She had just returned from the bank. In the scuffle she sustained some injuries and still lost her handbag, money, mobile phone, etc to the robbers. She is one of the supporters of this security idea of ours.

Another case also happened on SS22/32. A resident woke up this morning to find one of their Honda CRV stolen. It is sad to hear that all these nasty incidence happening in our neighborhood. How can we get our peaceful neighborhood back? We need more poeple to come and support our gated security project. Only with more support from the residence can this project be carried out as soon as possible. PLEASE talk to your neighbors to see if they have signed up or not. If not please do so by e-mail us at lim.jmpr@gmail.com.

Peace of mind comes at a price

An article from NST, Friday, 27 June 2008

PETALING JAYA: Concerned over rising crime rates, residents of many housing estates are taking security into their own hands and installing security gates and hiring guards to patrol the streets.

But it does not come cheap, and the worse part is they are actually breaking the law. Under the Street, Drainage and Building Act they are not allowed to obstruct public roads.And for the moment, the authorities are allowing the gates to remain while councils and state government discuss whether or not to legalise the gated community system. Bandar Sri Damansara residents association paid about RM15,000 for boom gates and to hire security six years ago.

Association president Ravindran Raman Kutty said: "Residents have to pay about RM50 a month. The problem is that not all are paying for the security coverage. If everyone paid we could reduce the charge to RM30."He said the housing estate, with a population of 60,000, is divided into two sectors. Those in the higher density areas pay less. "Some residents have their own private security guards as well," he said.

Guards at Bandar Utama checking motorists entering and leaving the neighbourhood.
He said MBPJ has issued a notice to remove the boom gates, "but the ruling is not being enforced yet because our local assemblyman and MPs are looking at the situation. We hope MBPJ will introduce by-laws on the gated community system soon."Bandar Utama residents' association chairman Datuk Manpal Singh said about RM50,000 was spent to install 15 boom gates. A close-circuit television system was also been set up. Residents pay about RM40 a month."We do not want to be a gated community, but this is the only way we can deal with the increase in crime. The system is not foolproof, but it acts as a filter," he said.

PJ mayor Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman said the council is looking at the feasibility of setting up a gated community system in non-gated neighbourhoods.The council needs to discuss the technicalities with the newly appointed councillors, he said.He and Subang Jaya council president Datuk Adnan Md Ikhsan said the issue of gated communities had been discussed at the state level, and the councils were awaiting further instructions. "For the time being we will allow the gates to remain," Mohd Roslan said.Nine areas in USJ have adopted the gated community system. Residents' association president P.C. Yeoh said the ranges from RM30 to RM100 a month depending on the area. He said the Municipal Council issued guidelines on the system. "At least 80 per cent of the residents have to agree." Adnan said: "We will see in the next two to three months what the state government decides."
