More than 85% of USJ 3/1 residents; 87%, in fact - want their neighbourhood to be gated and guarded.
In a recent briefing attended by Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) officers and USJ8 police station officer-in-charge chief inspector Loi Yew Lik, the residents gave their consent to the pro tem residents association to set up the scheme.
At the beginning of the meeting, the residents were reminded that they still needed another 44 households to sign up in order to achieve the 85% agreement to implement the plan. As the meeting progressed, more were convinced that the gated and guarded concept is needed for their safety and security.
Association chairman Andy Lam shared a few crime incidents that had happened in the neighbourhood.
“On April 27 at 2.50pm, a woman and her son were held up by some robbers, who threatened to kill the family if any police report was made,” he said
Lam said there were 387 houses in USJ 3/1 and part of Jalan USJ 3/2 (which is located in the same neighbourhood).
There are three entry points into the area and the association’s initial plan was to employ five guards — three to be stationed at the entrances and two to patrol the roads.
There is also a pedestrian bridge linking USJ 3/1 and SS19. We will perhaps request the bridge owner to let us close the bridge from midnight to 6am,” Lam said.
Loi said the scheme would be effective in curbing crime such as break-ins, snatch thefts and robberies
“Once you put up the barriers, the crime rate will drop dramatically. But this interim measure does not guarantee zero crime,” he said.
He added that he now had 65 men in blue serving USJ and the figure would increase to 140 in the future
“If you set up the gated and guarded community, we will focus on areas without such schemes. I hope the residents will be more vigilant and call us if they spot any suspicious characters,” Loi said.
Yeoh, on the other hand, reminded the residents that they needed to get their residents association registered with the Registrar of Society before applying for the scheme.

Its good to see someone taking the initiative to do something about the crime in our area. Keep up the good work!
Get a good fencing (USJ11's too fragile). The fencing at SMK USJ4 and the main road is definitely STRONG enough.
Hello Committe memnbers.
Bravo for your invaluable effort and time spent on this G & G matter.All the residents must be grateful to you because you are not only providing security for families but also protecting our loved ones. Although some might have financial constraints, but remember SECURITY for Family comes first, that takes priority on other matters such as convenience and finance.
If you are spending money on other unnecessary matters,can't you allocate a small sum for the love of your family.
I heard thru my frens and some of my neighbours that some jerks do not want to join in. *** Comment Moderated ***. These people may sacrifice the loved ones for money. They must be ASHAMED to benefit the security service from other paying members.
*** Comment Moderated *** ITS VERY UNFAIR if this people enjoy the security at other people's expense. *** Comment Moderated ***.DONT BE STINGY, after all one day all of us are going to DIE BUT don't DIE in the robber's hands. PLS CHANGE AND SUPPORT THE GOOD CAuse. *** Comment Moderated ***
