The first notice we received was on March 22 last year to stop fencing work and we did that. However, two days before Ramadan last year, on May 25, they removed the fence poles and confiscated our security items. On Nov 21 and 22, without any warning whatsoever, MPSJ removed our road humps which were meant to slow down vehicles so the guards could vet passers-by as found in the LPHS 6.
On Dec 21, we received a letter from MPSJ asking us to remove the barriers and guardhouses ourselves, but on Dec 28, they forcibly removed it by themselves. Last year, the MPSJ deputy president brought up some startling points when he visited the bazaar and spoke to the media. He reportedly said that no guards in the entire Subang Jaya area were allowed to use barriers or vet visitors that wanted to come through.
He said that guards are only allowed to vet visitors in the area from 12am to 6am. This is in complete contradiction, however, with what is stated in our letter for the guard scheme, and the guidelines to the LPHS, which allows barriers and boom gates to be used in my community, so long as there are guards there. In fact, LPHS guidelines 4. It further states that guards can open these gates at any given time. MPSJ councillor Pooi Weng Keong has previously stated that problems faced by our community are 'short-term' and because when residents are objecting, gating a community 'can't work'.
But surely it is the law to follow through with all of these guidelines, Mr Pooi? Boom gates are supposed to go up and down and only then guards can vet the passers-by without them trashing our cones. As with every other residential area, however, we too also face a handful of disgruntled people i.
We had a 'Dialogue on Guard Scheme Implementation' with the residents and authorities and with the MP and assemblyperson Hannah Yeoh on April 22 last year where clearly it was seen there was only one resident objected to the fencing.
Others complain of inconvenience as they have to wait for the guards to vet them and many who are used to going through our area only to access the shops complained about their having to change their route it's about the same distance.
However, it is just a matter of time before they get used to it. But if MPSJ keeps supporting them, they will never come out of their comfort zone and make that change to make our area safer. For residents we have issued car stickers to most of them so that problem should cease. And we are more than happy to assist the other residents who require the car stickers. So why is my association being sidelined and treated like this, when many RAs are allowed to have maximum security?
If it is just because of a few disgruntled residents, then democracy is not being practiced here. The federal government has also allocated RM10, to each RA and 'chain link fence' is one of the security measures that can be taken by a residential area which we have also obtained. In conclusion, RAs come into being with due teamwork and support from residents. Each RA is a registered body with the registrar of societies. Most of us serve on a voluntary basis, and receive no remuneration whatsoever.
In spite of this, we spend our time keeping the neighbourhood clean and safe. We try to do the best, and hope that authorities like MPSJ will help do their part to assist us. Sadly, this has not been the case for my community and I.
It is not fair that we are being treated like this. We want answers. And we want them now. Kini Lens. Kini Morning Brief.
