COMPLAINTS AGAINST TDP1RA GUARDED SECURITY INITIATIVES

Pursuant to the EGM on 11 August 2012 which approved the motion to set-up Wave Card Access System and the Budget to carry out the project. TDP1RA on 16 August 2012 submitted its Papers to DBKL for final endorsement prior to the implementation. This trip down to DBKL Jabatan Pengangkutan Bandar turned out to be more than just a routine submission of documents and extending Raya Greetings.

During the visit coincidently Jabatan Pengangkutan Bandar received complaint from sources believed to be the same as those who had made reports in June / July 2011 as the complaint this time was the alleged absence of any action taken by the DBKL despite the complaints having gone to the press! It was obviously unknown to the complainant(s) that:

a)     The matter was addressed in subsequent meetings between TDP1RA & DBKL whereby there are certain INACCURACIES by the complainant & as reported by the Press.

b)     There is a significant majority across the affected community in support the closure as well as the security scheme’s functions.

c)      Mitigating measures have been taken and ARE IN PLACE therefore measures taken by TDP1RA meet DBKL requirements.

Further to the above, DBKL also shared with us the list of Complaints and the NAMES OF REGULAR Complainants.

To this, we were surprised that there is a small group of residents who not only do not pay but HAVE BENEFITED from and ENJOYED the safety and peace arising but yet chooses to complaint incessantly to see the collapse of the security scheme.

Towards this the Committee of TDP1RA is baffled why are there people living within the community wish to see the majority wishes to fail. Do they want crime to be happening wantonly in Phase 1? How would they feel if THEY become victims of crime? Is it worth it all? We noted that some complainants are those who find RM80.00, RM120.00 or RM150.00 too much. Fine and well but do you have to try destroying the safety enjoyed over the last 2 years or more?

On this note, the Committee urge subscribers and supporters when given the opportunity to “tell your neighbours and friends who do not support the security scheme” to please do not disturb if you do not support. If they believe they can do better than please come offer themselves and not just throw stones on people working hard.

The Committee wishes to inform that we shall take all necessary action to defend the scheme and if necessary institute legal action to defend the Guarded Security Scheme from unscrupulous, irresponsible and mercenaries working / representing antagonists and oppressors.

Dog owners must have a care

Posted on 16 August 2012 - 06:53pm

IS THERE a law against dog owners making their pets pee and poop in front of the houses of neighbours? This has become common practice in Klang, and is most annoying and upsetting.

Imagine driving out of your home in the morning only to run over a fresh pile right in front of the driveway. Imagine having visitors come over only to be greeted by poop at the front gate.

These dog owners would never have their dogs do it in front of their houses. Oh no, they are taken for walks along the grass patches near the homes of others for this unsightly and foul business.

Where I live, at least a dozen households take their dogs for walks along the roads – a few times a day. You can only imagine what this amounts to.

Pet waste should never become a neighbourhood nuisance and hazard. Not only is this inconsiderate and selfish, it also gives all good dog owners a bad name. Can anything be done to stop this?

Launching of Ops Selamat Campaign in Taman Desa

A two-week campaign Ops Selamat, which runs from Aug 15 to Aug 25 was launched in Taman Desa by Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Mohmad Salleh in conjunction with the coming Raya celebration.

"The Ops Selamat approach is the brainchild of Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar who decided to change what was previously known as Ops Sikap to Ops Selamat this year.

Ops Selamat focuses on ensuring that house owners secure their properties before leaving for Hari Raya holidays as well as urging them to be safe on the road.

This Ops Selamat would involve traffic policemen, General Duty personnel, Air Unit and Marine Police to ensure smooth traffic flow, to minimise accidents on road and at sea, as well as to prevent house break-ins,

We the committees of TDP1RA are honoured that Taman Desa was chosen as a launching pad for the campaign.

Our Kawasan Rukun Tetangga Taman Desa chairman Mr. Siva Ananthan delivered the speech on behalf of Taman Desa residents.

All present were treated to a buka puasa dinner by Kuala Lumpur Police.

Find below are some photos taken during the event.

SAFETY TIPS TO PREVENT BREAK-IN AND VEHICLE THEFTS

HOW HOUSE/BUSINESS PREMISE BREAK-INS OCCUR

1.       By picking the padlocks/grills using a screwdriver or any sharp objects.

2.       By opening the window grills/removing window-glass using a ‘jack’.

3.       By sawing/cutting the padlock using a cutter.

4.       By entering from the roof-top (after removing roof tiles)/entering through the ceiling after breaking it.

5.       By entering through doors/windows left open/unlocked or prising open windows/doors.

6.       By using duplicate master keys.

7.       By using gas tanks to break grills/doors/windows.

HOW TO PREVENT BREAK-INS

1.       Have your main door fitted with a peephole and observe other precautions such as using padlocks and having your doors lock-chained.

2.       Leave the lights on in your house when you are out so as to give the impression that there is someone at home.

3.       Do not leave notes stating that there is no one at home or instructions to newspaper/bread vendors or caterers.

4.       Ask your neighbours to keep an eye on your house while you are away.

5.       If you are going out or before going to bed, ensure that all doors and windows are locked.

6.       Rear guard dogs.

7.       Equip your house/business premises with a security system.

8.       Ensure that your garden is kept tidy with short cut grass and trimmed trees/shrubs so that it is not used as a hideout by burglars.

9.       Do not hide keys under doormats, in a flower pot or on top of the electric meter box outside the house.

10.   Keep large sums of cash in banks and jewellery in safe deposit boxes.

11.   Change all locks when your house keys are lost or stolen.

12.   Inform the nearest police station if you are going on holiday/ outstation for long periods in excess of 24 hours.

CAR AND MOTORCYCLE THEFTS

How to prevent vehicle thefts

1.       Keep your car/motorcycle locked at all times and ensure the keys are in your possession. Lock your steering, wheels, gears and clutch. Additional lock or chains for your motorcycle is a must.

2.       Install a good safety device/alarm.

3.       Park your vehicle in exposed locations. At night, park your vehicle in places that are adequately lit.

4.       Be mindful of your vehicle/keys when you are having it serviced or repaired to prevent duplication of the keys.

5.       Valet parking is not advisable.

6.       As a safety measure, sand-blast your car’s registration number on all the windows. Your motorcycle registration number should be etched on the main parts of the motorcycle.
