3 Greens Bicycle Geng

A great ride this morning with lots of new faces to our 3 Greens Bicycle Geng outing… at the MPSJ Kayuhan Mesra 2011( 3rd and Final series ) to which all managed to successfully complete the 13km route round USJ.

As the next USJ ride will only be back in November, several months away, we will try to organized some longer distance cycle rides of our own to which our Committee President, Andy who is also our USJ 3 JKP representative will try to get support from local council possibly in terms of motorcycle outrider assistance.

Note that this will probably only be possible if our group is large enough; so do invite your neighbours, friends and relatives to also join in our activities.

PS : 3 Greens Bicycle Geng consist of a group of residents and friends who enjoys cycling at an easy and leisure pace on most nights as well as doubles up for patrol duty around our GnG neighbourhood. If you are interested to join us and know more, please drop an email to nyghtsky@gmail.com. Cheers

USJ Family Day - June 11, 2011

Dear Residents,

bring your family and friends out to the MPSJ Sports Complex for the USJ Family this coming Saturday, 11 June 2011 from 5 pm onwards.

There will be performances, games, food and many more events planned. Early birds will get goodie-bags. There are limited numbers so it will be given out on a first-come-first serve basis. See you there!

What happens when a G&G fails

Our collection is slow and while we may be having relative serenity within our area with almost no reports of criminal activities, all other areas ( non GnG )around us have been reporting theft and break-in cases. I remember the time before our GnG was up when we were experiencing almost 10 criminal cases a month. Our GnG keeps us safe but let's not take it for granted.

Here is an extract from SJ Alert:-

This happened in USJ26 from a resident called Akil. He lamented that crime has returned to his neighborhood since the G&G stopped due to the non-cooperation of the residents there.

Akil's remark

We had a break-in at our neighborhood yesterday between 4pm and 6pm during the heavy thunderstorm. The owner left the house at 4pm and returned around 6pm to find gate and door ajar. A suspicious silver MPV was seen leaving in a hurry when the owner returned with some tools used for breaking into the house, left behind. The owner reported the incident to the Police.

This is the THIRD (3) case since GnG stopped due to some residents apathy. And the thieves knows this and are targeting USJ 26. They being "professional", will always choose a time when we are most vulnerable for example:

1) Heavy rain, so even if the alarm sounds, no one will take notice.
2) Weekdays when no one is at home
3) Power failure (when CCTV and alarm not working)

Looking at the pattern…the guard can only serve as a deterrent….

And this was the case for the 2+ years crime free neighbourhood (while we had GnG implemented)

For those who don’t believe in GnG, IT WORKS……..

Hopefully, with these incidents, the residents at USJ26 can start to cooperate again.

Regards,

Akil

Beware! Serial Acid Splasher strikes

Copies of the above suspect picture will be distributed to our Security Guards!

Here are some preventive guidelines was posted on another website which you may want to read about.

Always walk facing against the traffic: So that the serial acid splasher will not attack you from the back. Besides that by walking against the traffic you will have a better chance of avoiding anyone who looks suspicious to you.

Avoid walking by the side of the road: If possible don't walk at the side of the road at all if it is unnecessary. You will be exposed and make yourself easy target for this serial acid splasher. Walk near the building where there are crowded people.

Always bring along an umbrella: This might sound crazy...but I suggest that you bring along a huge umbrella with you. So whenever you see someone suspicious approaching you, immediately open that umbrella to shield yourself from any possible attack. Yes! Just open it even though it is not raining. Best of all use the umbrella all the time. Moreover your umbrella can be a potent weapon for you to defend yourself in dangerous situations.

Inform the police of any suspicious motorcyclist: Banking on our lazy and inefficient Malaysian police alone is not enough. So the moment you see anyone riding a bike with dark complexion and looks suspicious...immediately take down the number plate and inform the police to come over as soon as possible. Who knows? Your information might lead to the nabbing of this serial acid splasher!

Put on more clothes: I know the weather is scorching hot right now. But putting on an extra jacket or vest might buy you some time to escape the devastating acid if *touch wood* you are being splashed!

Don't go out at all: No matter where you go, try not to walk...at all. If possible don't even go out if you don't have any transport, preferably car. It doesn't matter if the sundry shop is only 50 metres away from your home...you don't want to risk being splashed with acid right? So ask your parents, husband or other family members to ferry you around if you can.

Use as much water as possible: Water is the best remedy to counter the corrosive acid. The moment someone is being splashed with acid (either it is you or other victims), pour as much water as possible onto the affected body parts especially the eyes. Keep on pouring a large amount of water to dilute the acid. Keep on doing this until the acid has been diluted and washed away. So I suggest all of us to bring a water bottle all the time.

Haze is BACK!!!!!!!!!

Gotong Royong 2011 Pictures

The Gotong Royong last weekend was a success, nevertheless it would have been super if more committee members and street representatives had participated. Thanks to some of our residents who came with their family to participate in the G.R.



Also thanks to our Chairman, Mr Andy Lam, who managed to get some funds from the MPSJ and also MPSJ provided disposal services of the rubbish and branches which were trimmed off from some of the trees.

We also managed to erect back part of the damaged fences along USJ 3/1. If any of you drive along USJ 3/1 you will notice the place and the drains are much cleaner.
We could not cover more area due to lack of manpower.

Once again a big thank you to all members and residents who volunteered to participate in the G.R. To all committee members & street reps who did not turn up you missed an opportunity to participate in a wonderful community activity. Hope we do better the next time or in the next event.

Happy Wesak Day

Wishing all our Buddhist residents a Happy Wesak Day. May you be well and happy on this auspicious day.

JKP3 USJ Family Day - June 11, 2011

JKP3’s Family Day is back - June 11. It will be held from 5pm to 10pm with the theme “Loving Our Community, Caring for Our Environment”.

This year’s main attraction will be Hot Air Balloon rides, right at our very own MPSJ’s Stadium in USJ5. Just like the first family day, we will be offering 500 goodie bags to the first 500 families. Last year it was all snatched up in one hour, so make sure you get there early this year.

Among the attractions on the cards this year is a Bouncy Castle for kids (free of charge), face painting, sand art, fun fair, tele-matches for kids, free football clinic by Brazil Football Club, demonstration by Bomba, Free Health Screening, lots of interesting food stalls and a flea market. Many more plans are in the works for more activities.

We are looking for the community to participate in a few ways:

1) Run a stall in our “marketplace” – be it selling food, drinks, clothing, craft, services or just about anything legal you can think of;

2) Perform on stage – we will be running local performances from 7:30pm right up to 10pm, and will be getting a good sound system in place for this. If you’d like to showcase your talent, this is your chance;

3) Sponsor – This family day’s budget is approximately RM50k, and is being raised mostly from sponsorship in cash and kind;

4) Help out in running the show – one of our greatest achievements in last year’s family day was nearly 100 volunteers from all over USJ (and some Subang Jaya) pitched in to make it possible. Great teamwork, great results, great satisfaction.

FYI: Our 3/1 Resident Committee will be looking after the Prize Giving and Lucky Draw event; If you want to assist, please contact me at nyghtsky@gmail.com.

Upcoming Plans for Zone 3

For those of you who read Sarawakian’s column in this paper (if you’re not, I’m doing free advertisement for him), a constant complaint of his are the problems in Taipan – broken drain covers, filthy drains, restaurant food preparation, etc –I, as your representative to MPSJ, totally agree and share your sentiment. As I push in council meetings for improvements on this, I hope we can join hands together in making a difference.

Firstly, please do your part and don’t litter. Next, join me in voicing this to the Yang DiPertua (Council President) who is the head of the administration of MPSJ, as he heads the respective departments responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and infrastructure in our beloved Subang Jaya. You can also make complaints (it’s easy to do this online or via the hotline) to MPSJ, that gives a show of strength of our desire for improvement of service and concern for hygiene.

While I’ve talked about plans for zone 3 in my column in January’s edition of SJ Echo, the latest and biggest plan in the pipeline today for zone 3, is to convert the last remaining piece of vacant public land into an urban forest. This would entail a walking/jogging path, forest trees, possibly an exhibition farm and complimentary facilities. I’m glad the Town Planning and Landscape departments are working towards this, and we aim to do a public presentation before moving towards its development (possibly early next year). The design works in underway now.

Break in at USJ 3/3

Dear All,

My friend's house was broken into last night at around 10.20 pm in
the USJ 3/3 area. 4 Indian guys dressed totally in black and wearing masks
and gloves scaled her wall and prised up her inner grille gate. Shocking!

She and her husband were upstairs while her 12 yr old son and maid were
downstairs. Her son heard the sound of the robbers breaking in and ran
upstairs but the robbers were so fast. One held a parang to my friend's neck
while another held a sword to her husband's neck. Fortunately, after taking
their jewellery, money, laptop and handphones, they left. No one was
injured.

Please be on the alert.

Regards,

Loretta

OPS PAYUNG ii Launched

SUBANG JAYA police will now be noticeably present even in the night with the debut of Ops Payung II, with our men in blue spotting new umbrellas equipped with beacon lights and night lamps manning their static stations.

The introduction of the new equipment will allow the police to operate into the night at hot spots in Subang Jaya, creating omnipresence in the community, according to Subang Jaya OCPD ACP Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar.

“The umbrellas with a blue beacon light and night lamp will operate until midnight when called upon. It will complement our existing 20 umbrellas used during the day.”

“Seven sets which include a table and a chair each will be mobilised immediately. It will also be used for manning road blocks,” Zainal said at the launch of the new umbrellas and also the meet-the-community session in front of Restoran Man Selera in SS15 recently.

He said the umbrella units will be used as one of the platforms for the public to interact with the police wherever they may be stationed.

The first phase of Ops Payung, the brainchild of Selangor Police Chief DCP Dato Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah, was launched in November last year. The umbrellas from the first phase were provided by Sime Darby Property Berhad.

“The crime rate in Subang Jaya has dropped tremendously thanks to the cooperation and assistance from the public.”

“This success would have been impossible without the community’s help,” Zainal said, adding that even the restaurant owner came forward to sponsor the refreshments for the launch when he was told the launch would be in front of his shop.

He paid tribute to members of the Voluntary Patrol Unit of Subang Jaya, comprising mostly senior citizens who diligently patrolled Subang Jaya and USJ during the day, creating a presence which helped deter attempts to perpetrate crime.

Local authorities to take over Alam Flora’s cleaning work

THE cleaning work that has been carried out by Alam Flora Sdn Bhd will now be taken over by the nine local authorities in Selan-gor. Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said the state government had decided that Alam Flora would only be in charge of garbage collection, while local authorities would do the cleaning work. The local authorities will now clean drains, fields and roads, said Khalid after the Selangor state monthly meeting yesterday. He said this was important because local authorities had been receiving many complaints on cleanliness. Khalid said the state government was planning to spend about RM200mil for cleaning work. “The local authorities will have their own workers and if need be they will give out contracts for cleaning projects,” he said. Khalid said the decision was not due to Alam Flora’s failure to deliver, but he felt that they could not handle everything by themselves. “If they only focus on garbage collection then it will be easier for us to know what their job specialisation is,” he said. Khalid said Alam Flora’s role as coordinators by using contractors must be reduced and they had to be directly involved with the tasks given. “About 10 years ago, all these tasks were done by the local authorities. Now we are reverting to the old way. Alam Flora’s initial role was only to deal with garbage collection and disposal,” he said.

MPSJ to promote cycling for health

AS PART of an initiative to promote a healthy lifestyle, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) will be organising the Cycle for a Healthy Life MPSJ 2011 programme.

“Cycling is becoming popular these days, but most people do not have a chance to cycle properly as traffic on roads can be dangerous,” said MPSJ acting president Abdullah Marjunid at a press conference recently.

“This has made most people limit their cycling to housing areas or parks. “By having this programme, we’re giving an opportunity to participants to experience riding on the streets, with proper safety measures implemented,” he said. Ready to ride: Abdullah (in red, on mountain bike) and cycling team members all geared up for their first ride.

He added that apart from promoting a healthy lifestyle, it would also help foster unity and raise awareness on pollution caused by motorised vehicles. The activity will be held on every last Sunday of the month, incorporating a 10 to 15km route, and is open to participants aged 12 and above. The first event will take off from the MPSJ Sports Complex in USJ 5 at 7.30am.

“For the first three months from April to June, we will be having the activities at Subang Jaya constituency, followed by Kinrara, Seri Kembangan and Serdang,” said Abdullah. Interested participants need only show up with their bikes at the venue as no registration is required. Currently only roadbikes and mountain bikes are allowed.

Participants must also wear safety helmets and proper attire. “Staff will be stationed along the cycling route to direct traffic and lend assistance to cyclists. “If participants get tired halfway, there will also be a patrol vehicle to fetch the riders and their bikes to the starting point,” said Abdullah.

Lending their support to the programme are former national cyclists M.Kumaresan and Musairi Musa, who will be joining the event along with members from cycling clubs around Selangor, including the MPSJ Cycling Club, Ciclista Cycling and Bukit Jelutong Cycling Club.
