Access cards for residents' security

By NOEL ACHARIAM 18 December 2012

THE Taman Desa Phase 1 Residents Association (TDP1RA) has gone "hi-tech" with the security system in its neighbourhood. The TDP1RA has now installed a wave card system for the convenience of residents. The access card will allow the residents the luxury of entering and exiting their neighbourhood while in their vehicles.

KUALA LUMPUR: The system is similar to the Smart Tag system.

TDP1RA spokesman Philip Phang said the access card project was implemented in April.

"The idea for the access card came about while we were brainstorming on how to increase the level of security and at the same make it convenient for the residents to enter and exit the neighbourhood.

"After months of visiting other gated and guarded communities, we came across the idea of an access card. We then made the proposal to the committee and they agreed to implement it," he said.

The access card system is located at Jalan Desa Permai, Jalan Desa Ria and Jalan Desa Setia. However, those who do not have the access card can still use the road as the TDP1RA has installed an electronic button to open the boom gates. 

Phang said the TDP1RA had raised the monthly security fees from RM30 to RM80 for a terrace house, RM40 to RM120 for a semi-D and RM50 to RM150 for bungalow.

Phang said the hike in security fees was necessary to sustain the security measures in the neighbourhood.

"Before this the residents were only paying for the guards to patrol the area. Now, we have boom gates, CCTVs, guard house and access card system for their convenience. The moment we started the new scheme, the subscription rate went up to more than 90 per cent," he said.

The TDP1RA has got the support of the Safety and Fire Department, Police and City Hall.

Phang also said that one of the main reasons of increasing the level of security in their neighbourhood, was because of the high crime rate.

"In a span of five months, there were more than seven break-ins, car and snatch thefts. Before the boom gates and CCTVs, there was weekly snatch thefts and at least one car will get stolen a month," he said.

Phang said another security measure was to install a gate in Jalan Desa Setia and Jalan Desa Permai.

"We have installed an eight-feet gate at both roads and the roads are closed from 10pm to 6am. Anyone who wish to enter the neighbourhood after 10pm can use Jalan Desa Ria," he said.

Phang said there has been zero incidents since they closed up the road last month.

Zero crime after road closed
