Dead Fish Westlake 6th Sept'08 - Reply MPSJ

I have decided to post this particular reply as the lake does belong to all of us and we should partake in the responsibility of letting the local authority with the appropriate jurisdiction to do something about it, and in this case this jurisdiction was clearly MPSJs.

To date I have submitted more than 35 complaints some repetitive but mostly to the nature of ensuring that TMP and the surrounding neighbourhood is in constant supervision of any abnormalities like for instances illegal signages pasted all over, illegal dumping, stray dogs, insufficient lighting, road humps, signage to show where Mutiara Puchong is located, additional litter bins in the park and others.

Now I find it very strange in this internet day and age that very few residents are actually using the MPSJs complaint portal to submit relevant complaints accordingly.....I did highlight this point in my previous post and with instructions to submit such complaints but I reckon that many residents are still sticking to their belief that such responsibilities lay elsewhere or simply could not bother one bit but to complain and leave it as that.

I am saying so because through personal experience I have encountered many whom have basically just complained and thats, thats. For once it will be truly a breath of fresh air if more residents or responsible human being could make the effort to possibly attempt to do something selflessly for the sake of many or possibly do somthing within their realm to be a problem solver than the problem announcer.

I am a resident in TMP and I take it upon myself to submit the complaints for the betterment of the people around me, firstly my family and of course the rest of the people in this taman. What cheeses me off is the fact that many "people" do not have a slightest clue that such civic duties is expected from each and every individual in any community.

Pardon my french here but I think it is high time that more people actually start giving a damn about the environment they are living in and the importance of righting a wrong. Make a difference by giving a damn for once and possibly you can feel good in the process, more action and less talk will be most encouraged and you will see that when you start empowering yourself to find solutions rather than complaining about a problem then you will truly admire and be thankful that you have been born without abnormalities and that you do indeed have a truly functional brain to think from.

Portable Guard Shelters Installed In TMP :)

Hip hip horray....after a much awaited timeframe to implement this initiative the RA with the support of all the residents and sponsors have managed to secure enough funding to enable the installation of the above portable guardpost shelters.

The above 3 guardpost shelters are located at the specific strategic corners of Taman Mutiara Puchong, each located at the usual guardpost at both ends of TMP 6 and one at the end of TMP 8.

With more support the RA will be looking at more initiatives to further enhance the environment in TMP. The most immediate and crucial project which the RA have already begun to embark on is the dual lane entry proposal, which is currently now awaiting the outcome of MPSJ. We are still awaiting the reply and it is expected to take a while due to the fact that many issues are still pending between MPSJ and developer like the handing over of the roads etc which do have some bearing on the timeliness of the approval for the dual lane entry proposal.

The RA will monitor and will continue to remind the responsible parties to accelerate the decision making process that is currently hampering and delaying the decision on the approval to get the dual lane entry constructed. This will be the final icing on the cake to absolutely ensure smooth traffic and security protocols and to have the necessary facilities to ensure that the entry point will be able to cater for full occupancy in Taman Mutiara Puchong once the entire Phase 3 units are filled up.

The RA looks forward for more support and teamwork from all residents to futher boost and enhance the environment of TMP.

Cheers to us in TMP.

Pesta Tanglung Muhibbah TMP 2 (13th September 2008)

Only a week to go and I just want to take this opportunity to remind all TMP residents to get the tickets to attend this community activity and to also announce that this event is open to the public to share our community spirit and to lead by example to promote a good community living environment.

Tickets are only RM 20 for adults and RM 10 for children above 5 years old and these are at cost price as we are catering the food for the event. Like I have mentioned in the previous post, the idea to cater is far more efficient management and will take up less time to organise in order for this event to take place. We believe that all residents should take pride that in TMP we have the RA to organise such event and should participate willingly as a show of solidarity in the community.

Many resident have volunteered and done a great job to date to get everything organised and planned out carefully, so support your fellow members of the community for a fun family gathering with friends and neighbours. This is a great opportunity for all residents to gather and to mingle to get to know thy neighbours, which is one of the main objective for organising this event.

To date we have sold 200 tickets and the RA would like to thank all residents whom have participated and look forward to a fun evening with all. To residents that have complained that the tickets are expensive etc while resident volunteers went door-to-door to offer the said tickets, well it will be a good opportunity missed to truly come out and be apart of the community and to share the community spirit which we all should be practicing in a gated community like Taman Mutiara Puchong.

Sometimes I think some Malaysians lack the maturity when it comes to social responsibility or to practice a sense of responsibility as a resident when it comes to living in a close community like a gated and guarded housing development. Many residents are still having the traditional mindset of "My home is the four walls of my house and I do not care what else is happening outside my compound attitude, or I just rent out my house and I do not care what is happening including what kind of tenants I have as long as they pay etc.

To think of all these happenings is sometime saddening but when reality kicks in, I realise that like evolution of mankind, it is also necessary that we have a revolution in the evolution of attitudes and mindsets in order for us to enjoy and to be able to compare with out western counterparts like Australia, USA, Canada, UK etc.

Like we once heard Malaysia has 1st class infrastructure/facilities but 3rd class mentality well this statement holds more water to me now than before I was involved with voluntary community service especially in Taman Mutiara Puchong. I for one wish to see more residents practice or awaken their social responsibility aspect of their life and be better role models in society. We can always do with more responsible people in the neighbourhood and this is what differentiates between a good neighbourhood and a not so good one.

I could go on and on and share many more stories here but I shall not preach something that probably you have heard but possibly yet to act on it yourself, but if you have I salute you and encourage you to keep up the good work mate.

So to all residents and friends please get your tickets now for the Pesta Tanglung Muhibbah 2 and you can get them during office hours at No.60, Jalan TMP 4, Taman Mutiara Puchong, 47160 Puchong, Selangor. All are welcomed as long as you have the tickets, and to all freeloaders please take note that food will only be served to those that have tickets as they will be identified with a pink ribbon. We want to encourage resident participation but at the same time also want to ensure that we eliminate the freeloader attitude of some.

To book your tickets please call 03-80629 829 Ms.Sheela.

Stay tune for the itenarary to be posted very soon which includes:

Magic show
Clown
Line Dancing Performance
Qi Gong Performance
Games
Karaoke
Lucky Draw and
Much Much More........:)

REMEMBER folks this is a community event and organised by the RA voluntarily hence not a profit making endeavor, come and support for an honest good cause, which is to create a better loving and caring community of socially responsible residents and neighbours.

Security Enhancement Exercise 2008 for 2009 onwards.

The security enhancement exercise have begun and after 2 sessions in TMPCC on the 30th and 31st August 2008, there is evidence that residents do care about their own well being specifically referring to residents whom have not been updating their service fee payments.
Barring will commence on the 15th September 2008 and will be enforced without prejudice to ensure that TMP has a preventive two-tier security procedures. Security threat can come from external and also internal source/s. External can be identified quickly which consists mainly non-residents such as visitors, contractors, repairmen, delivery people, posman, TNB/TMB/Syabas/MPPJ/ personnel, developers personnel (sales people)etc.
Internal can be from residents whom are tenants or actual owners themselves if measures are not put in place to identify them properly. Internal security complications can be caused when owners and tenants do not follow the relevant and stipulated rules and regulations as per DMC, most noticably not having sufficient access cards or car stickers for reasons only known to these people, not paying their service fee at all since April 2008 and this also includes residents that are not prompt and in arrears of more than 2 months or more. I am highlighting these examples because law breakers and offenders do so in the context that they can bend the rules and get away with it or that the fact that they think enforcements of rules and regulations in Malaysia are weak and not ineffective, or so they usually think as I believe this is an attitude that have been bred into many by poor regulatory enforcements in many governmental agencies etc.
Many will have the attitude of wait and see, and will react once tough measures are put into place to ensure that they comply. This will be one of the many contributing reasons why the access card barring exercise will be taking place soon, as the management company believes through their vast experience that by sending out reminders and legal notices are less effective as compared to access card barring for defaulters.
The idea of living in a gated and guarded housing community is of course clearly for the peace of mind for the all the members of a family when it comes to the security. Gated and guarded housing communities have fantastic crime preventive records and to date TMP is only second to Lake Edge YTL in terms of zero crime. Most cases that do surface within a gated and guarded community will come from more petty incidents mostly involving tenants (rubbish,noise,parking,vandalism) and amongst owners will be the usual lack of communication and initiatives as neighbours.
This is sad and a cause for concern as owners of units should scrutinise their tenants more strictly before letting out their premise/s. But not tenants are always to blame as in most cases it is the owners themselves that have no regards to house rules. I guess lack of respect to the governing rules is the most common denominator. The only viable method to align all these differing mentality and attitudes is to strictly enforce all available rules and regulations which governs and to do so without prejudice and exceptions. This is what TMP have set to accomplish and together with the law abiding residents in TMP this objective will be attainable in the shortest possible duration for the betterment of all in TMP.
