Meeting updates at the USJ 3/1 Padang

The 3 Greens' Pro-tem committee would like to extend a big THANK YOU to our neighbours who came out for the Residents' meeting held at our USJ3/1 Padang on November 22, 2009.

Here are the highlights of what transpired during the meeting for those who could not attend:-

Recycling Day will be held on even months and 2nd Sunday of the month while the Health-walk will be held on monthly basis on Sunday morning. The dates will be posted on the blog. One further proposal was to organize a get-together for all residents.

Mr Rajiv Rishyakaran, our MPSJ ( Zon 3 ) Councillor was present and spoke on a number of issues pertaining to GnG concept. He explained that some of the guidelines are being tabled in the Parliament so that the implementation will be standardized and legalized.

Rajiv also encouraged us to organise Gotong-Royong, Recycling and suggested that we make a request with MPSJ to provide us with Composting Bins so that all waste greens can be recycled and the compost sold for income.

Some of the issues highlighted to him by our residents include:

a. The facilities in the Padang to be repaired. Some of the children’s facilities are damaged and are dangerous as some children have injured themselves. Also the basketball court has been badly worn-out - Dr.Kok ( USJ3/1E )

b. Mentality of some residents who leave rubbish outside the house. She mentioned that some residents leave the rubbish in their neighbour’s area and at time the Rubbish collector do not pick them up - Rashidah ( USJ 3/1G )

c. Excessive stray cats resulting in them becoming a nuisance and excreting in the house compound. Some enter the open window or door and feed on the food etc.

d. Foreign grass cutters – are they legal or registered with MPSJ. Many of them go around daily - KK Low

Mr Rajiv also highlighted on the pending extension of the LRT to Subang Jaya and thereon to Putra Heights.

The 3 Greens' pro-tem Committee thank Mr Rajiv for his attendance and contribution to our community.

Further suggestions put forth to the committee include:-

1. Frequent visitors (non-residents) to make laminated card with details of the name, car number and number of house being visited. The user to be charged so that we know they are valid visitor.

2. Pedestrian bridge over KESAS – to install gate and lock up the bridge. Proposed time to close was 1.00am to 6.00am. (To review the time).

3 Ms Pat of USJ 3/1D requested the closing of the gate near the padang to be locked at 10.30pm instead of 10.00pm due to her son coming back after tuition which finishes at 10.00pm. Also there were near accidents when she drove out of 3/1D into 3/1.
