Dear Fellow Phase 1 Residents,

Since the implementation of the wave access card, we have received quite a number of complaints from our subscribers having difficulty in using the wave access card to enter and exit our guarded neighbourhood scheme.

We are pleased to inform pursuant to the complaints we deliberated the issues with the contractor. The primary source of the problem lies with vehicles with heavy windscreen tint, i.e: Windscreen Tints that have high level of metal content will have problem with the present wave access card.

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

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.

居民投訴圍籬封死道路‧市局拆除居協再建

·         雪隆  2012-11-23 11:12

（吉隆坡22日訊）吉隆坡市政局以舊巴生路郊外嶺迪沙阿曼路的圍籬不符規格，今早進行拆除工作；但有關路段過後又出現來歷不明的“路障式＂圍籬。

據瞭解，郊外嶺第一期居民協會（TDP1RA）是在今年8月開齋節後，在迪沙阿曼路設置欄桿和籬笆。

有關圍籬和欄杆屬於“封死＂類型，影響居民進出，該路18戶居民曾投訴面對極多不便。

城市交通組副主任阿都哈密今天上午帶領市政局執法人員前往郊外嶺迪沙阿曼路拆除圍籬，拆除工作進行時，一名相信是來自居協的居民阻止有關拆除工作，不過卻引起迪沙阿曼路居民的反彈。

市政局最後在半小時內把圍籬和欄杆拆除和載走。惟在不久後，原有的地點卻出現了類似圍籬的路障。

阿都哈密：接居民投訴才拆除

阿都哈密指出，市政局是在接獲郊外嶺迪沙阿曼路居民投訴圍籬封路的投訴後，派員瞭解情況，並決定進行拆除工作。

“我們拆除迪沙阿曼路的圍籬和欄杆，是因為有關設置不符規格，居協大可雇人看守欄杆處，避免該路被｀封死’。＂

根據《大都會》記者向當地居民瞭解，有關圍籬是由去年成立的郊外嶺第一期居民協會設立，雖然居民多番投訴，但居協都以安全考量不願拆除有關圍籬。

居協：設置前居民沒反對

將召集緊急會議

郊外嶺第一期居民協會主席黃先生受《大都會》詢問時表示，居協在迪沙阿曼路設置欄桿和籬笆前，曾連續在5個星期天在該花園的草場設立柜台給居民提呈意見，但沒有居民提出反對。

他補充，當居協在迪沙阿曼路設置欄桿和籬笆後，居民才向居協提呈反對。

“我們設立圍籬是擔心竊賊會通過迪沙阿曼路進入迪沙幸福路（Jalan Desa Bahagia）。＂

他強調，他們把圍籬計劃的報告書呈交給市長時，市長原則上沒有反對他們在迪沙阿曼路設置圍籬，豈料較後卻被市政局拆除圍籬。

無論如何，他將召集居協成員進行緊急會議，並在近期內和市政局會面，以尋找解決方案。

彭建明（郊外嶺睦鄰計劃委員）：設圍籬前曾三次通知居民

“我們在迪沙阿曼路設置圍籬前，曾三次發出通告給居民，其中一次還是親手交給居民和要他們簽名證明收到傳單，惟他們都沒有按照傳單內容到柜台向我們提出反對設置圍籬，所以我們就安裝了圍籬。

由於對警方的辦事效率沒有信心，所以我們決定自救。我們其實已向市政局提呈圍籬申請，目前申請程序還在進行中。我們對市政局強硬拆除圍籬感到遺憾，並會開會尋找解決方案。＂

柯其美（迪沙阿曼路居民，70歲）：要求拆圍籬遭恐嚇打傷

“我曾因要求拆除圍籬一事遭恐嚇和打傷，我也針對此事報警，並因過於激動而被醫生要求留院觀察。

我覺得關閉迪沙阿曼路是很危險的做法，也對居民造成不便，進出住家都需要繞路而行，浪費汽油和時間。＂

葉太太（迪沙阿曼路居民）：治安不錯沒必要圍籬

“迪沙阿曼路只有18間住家，我在這裡住了20多年，只發生一次鞋子被偷事件。

我個人覺得這裡治安不錯，沒有必要圍籬和封鎖道路。＂

柯偉雄（迪沙阿曼居民，38歲）：設圍籬應聘守衛看顧

“我們向居協反對設置圍籬不果後，即在9月開始向吉隆坡市政局投訴，經過數個月的書信來往，市政局終於拆除圍籬。

我覺得居協要設立圍籬，理應要聘請守衛看顧，而不是為了省錢而關閉我們的道路，讓我們出入不便。＂（星洲日報／大都會）
