Termination or Continuation of our Guarded & Gated Scheme

Dear Members/Residents

Following the meeting held yesterday, 16th Sept 2010 which was attended by 120 residents (out of a total of 390 residents in our USJ 3/1 community), the committee and street reps have further deliberated and have decided as follows:-

a) To continue the scheme for another one month and if collection is inadequate, to terminate the scheme.

b) As unanimously agreed by the residents at the meeting, collection will be for a 6 months payment basis (i.e. RM 60.00 X 6 months = RM360.00). All outstanding arrears if any must also be paid up.

c) By 16th October 2010, if the overall collection is sufficient the committee will continue with the scheme. Otherwise, the scheme will be terminated.

The committee reached the above decision after considering the following

• Residents at the above meeting expressed their support for the continuation of the scheme. However, the committee and street reps in volunteering their time & efforts have been facing difficulties in collection and lack of funds to pay the security company.

• In the event of termination, any reinstatement (if it would ever happen) will be subjected to new governmental regulations which require all the fences and the boom gates to be dismantled. This will severely undermine the physical effectiveness of the scheme.

In this regard, the committee has resolved that members/residents must also co-operate by delivering their cheques to their street reps (please drop envelope into their mail box). To facilitate payment, we will be enclosing your accounts statement/payment slip for you to submit together with your cheque.

We sincerely hope all members and residents will standby with one another to collectively help in sustaining this worthy initiative for the safety and security of our community at USJ 3/1.


Thank you & regards

Below is an article extracted from the Star ( today )

A gated neighbourhood can only be set up with the approval of 51% of the residents, said Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung.

He said perimeter fencing and guard houses would not be allowed to be built under the new guidelines for gated and guarded neighbourhood schemes.

He said the local authorities have the right to tear down the fencing and guard houses which caused inconvenience to residents.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin recently said the guidelines - which were approved and endorsed by the National Council for Local Government - would be imposed with immediate effect on new applications.

Existing gated communities and guarded neighbourhood schemes are exempted.

Safer Crossing

OWNERS of advertising signboards on pedestrian bridges will be instructed to relocate their signboards to the rooftops of bridges, a measure the Subang Jaya Municipal Council is taking to make pedestrian bridges safer.

MPSJ president Dato’ Adnan Md Ikshan said the council will write to all the owners of pedestrian bridges across major highways such as Kesas Highway and the New Pantai Expressway to have their signboards which presently sit parallel to the railings relocated to the rooftop.

“The pedestrian bridges were built by the highway concessionaires and are owned by them. Because of public safety, we want to cooperate with us to relocate the signboards and also install proper lighting along the bridges.”

“MPSJ will look into having CCTVs installed on the pedestrian bridges after we discuss this with the police,” he said, when asked to comment on immediate measures to be taken following the tragic death of kindergarten teacher Leong Lai Yoong at the hands of a snatch thief along an overhead bridge in Sungei Way last week.

Selangor Police Chief, Deputy Commissioner, Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said the police will recommend increasing CCTVs in crime prone areas in the State including on pedestrian bridges.

“Lighting along pedestrian bridges needs to be looked at. Signboards which block the walkway of the bridge need to be removed.”

“We will monitor pedestrian bridges closely to deter any incidences,” he said.

ADUN Subang Jaya Hannah Yeoh who received a briefing on the incident from Bandar Sunway officer in charge of station Inspector Muniandy Rethiah said MPSJ should look at installing CCTVs and enhancing the lighting at bridges.

“MPSJ must relook its policy on advertising billboards on bridges and also get the highway concessionaires to comply with its decision,” she said.

Hannah said more police presence and successful prosecution of snatch theft cases need to be highlighted.

“Snatch theft cases must not be treated as petty crime,” she added.

Eyes and Voice from Above

IF you hear a voice from “above” the next time you are at SS15 in Subang Jaya or Bandar Puteri in Puchong, chances are there’s a crime, immoral activities, illegal motor races or even littering being committed nearby.

Twenty four hotspots in SS15 and Bandar Puteri have been equipped with CCTV cameras and loudspeakers, according to Subang Jaya Municipal Council president Dato Adnan Md Ikshan.

He said the camera project was allocated by the Housing and Local Government Ministry while the police selected the spot for the cameras.

The loudspeakers can be used to set off a siren or the voice of the officer manning the operations centre at either the USJ8 police station or at MPSJ itself.

Besides recording criminal activities, Adnan said the cameras would also pick on litter-bugs where an officer’s voice would be blared out from the loud speakers to tick off the culprits.

So the next time you think of doing something that flouts the law, think again! You might hear THAT voice.

Important Announcement

Dear Members of the Persatuan Penduduk USJ 3/1, & fellow residents of USJ 3/1,

We commenced our Gated & Guarded Scheme at our area (USJ 3/1) in September 2009 and have been successful in the prevention of crimes to a great extent. Syabas, to all the members who have contributed for the infrastructure and the services of the guards. We have made this area safe, not only the members but also the non-paying residents who have been enjoying this service free of charge (FOC) so far.

We, the committee, are sad to announce that we will have to terminate the services of the guards. However we will do our best to maintain the guards at least until after Hari Raya Puasa holidays so that our Muslim friends can have a peaceful “balik kampong”.

Reasons for the termination of Guarded Scheme:

1. We noticed that the number of contributors for the scheme have dropped and some members have not made their payment despite the Street Representative visiting them on many occasions and also making telephone calls. Members/Residents must take the initiative to approach their Street Representative and make payments promptly. Without sufficient funds we cannot pay for the Guards services.

2. The Security Guards Company has given us notice that they want to increase the monthly charges. They have indicated an increase of approximately 18%.

The Committee Members have spoken to the Company to reconsider the increase in the charges however our major concern is the dropping numbers of contributors. Pertaining to this we would like to hold a meeting with all members and residents.

The details are as below:

Date : 16th September 2010 (Thursday) – Public Holiday – Malaysia Day
Time : 5.00 pm
Venue : USJ 3/1 Padang.
Agenda:

1. Collection status and decision to terminate the Guarded Services.
2. New Guard Company – pending the rates & set-up agreeable.
3. Other Matters Arising.

The Committee will like to reiterate that this meeting is important so that we can make the final decision and thus want all members to attend. By this notice we will assume that members who not attend will be deemed as agreeable to the decision made in the meeting as a group.

Thank You and “Selamat Hari Raya Puasa to all our Muslims friends”

The Committee Members of the Persatuan Penduduk USJ 3/1, Subang Jaya, Selangor.

Rules on gated schemes will be imposed with immediate effect

PUTRAJAYA: Gated and guarded neighbourhood schemes will have to follow new guidelines, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the guidelines - which were approved and endorsed by the National Council for Local Government - would be imposed with immediate effect on new applications.

Existing gated communities and guarded neighbourhood schemes are exempted.

He said the guidelines include specific height for fences and ensuring a permanent guardhouse with security personnel manning the area around the clock for the establishment of a gated community.

Guarded neighbourhoods must ensure the boom gate and guard posts are temporary structures which can be removed if local authorities found them unsuitable.

“The guidelines however, do not involve pricing as it is for the concerned parties to decide,” he told reporters after chairing the meeting.

Also present was Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that a by-law would later be formulated to allow local authorities to take action against those who fail to abide by the guidelines.

Gated communities and guarded neighbourhoods have sprung up in recent years as residents sought to protect themselves and their properties by employing private security firms.

Muhyiddin said residents of guarded neighbourhoods have no right to prevent others from going to schools or playgrounds, for instance, through their areas.
