Prevention Is The CURE!

This is the mantra we should all chant to maintain the highest state of alertness in avoiding a catastrophe, incident, accident and etc. All it takes is a little effort to ensure that a preventive measure has been put into place and this will help you avoid one of the negative factors which could affect your life (family members) and in some instances change it even.

Please do your part to ensure that the safety of your home and your family members comes first, as the world economy is ailing and more people lose their jobs and livelihood, many will turn into crime to make a living and to survive. With this said it is also time for us to be aware that such environment will lead to more crime and thus escalating crime rates throughout the country. This is already evident when you read the news in the papers, news on tv and even online.

Do your part by ensuring that the perimeter of your house is well lit after dark and that sensor lights at the back is turned on. Although we are living in a gated and guarded environment, preventive measures are still necessary as people who resort to criminal activities are those that have nothing to lose or desperate even.

Please recap by reading all the previous blog post pertaining security and safety and do your best to prevent and be the obstacle to any potential criminal act.

Remember only 2 types of people that are not concerned about safety and security:

1) people who are insane and
2) criminals

The above was mentioned to me in one of the security prevention seminar I attended.

COMMUNITY POLICING IS EVERY RESIDENTS RESPONSIBILITY!

Smile, you're caught

By Teoh El Sen February 27, 2009 Categories: News


Hey lady, smile — we got you! Aren’t you the same woman who has been breaking into homes with your two male accomplices?

You three foreigners are now burglars caught in the act, thanks to an alert neighbour who has a video recording and photographs of your botched burglary in Puchong at 11.30am on Tuesday.

The video footage and photographs of your attempt to burgle the home of businessman Ricky Boey in Bandar Kinrara have been handed to the police.

The neighbour, a car mechanic who wished to be identified only as Hon, 40, got a clear shot of you in the car while you were making your getaway, empty-handed.
Shots of your accomplice escaping through the rubbish chute after Hon confronted him are also there for all to see.

The only thing we don’t know is whether you are all from the Middle East or Latin America, but you resemble the latter.

It all started when Hon and his wife were tutoring their daughter and the neighbour’s two dogs began barking.
From his window, Hon saw you, dressed in white, calling out for his neighbour.

You then hurled bits of food for the dogs that went silent immediately.
He was shocked when you, quite the agile one, climbed over the gate and unlocked the rubbish chute to let your accomplice in. Your other accomplice stayed in the car.

That’s when Hon began recording your crime.
Your accomplice who crawled in had a spanner and screwdriver in his back pocket.
You, in the meantime, went outside to keep a lookout.
You were looking the wrong way: You didn’t expect Hon, did you? At the porch, Hon confronted your accomplice who had managed to break the main door hinge.

He fled through the chute and to your now moving getaway car. Hon gave chase, grabbed a stick and hit your fleeing accomplice.
But he managed to get in — and you thought you made a clean getaway.
Too late idiots, you were all in a Toyota Wish MPV bearing the number WSB 3943, obviously rented or stolen

Fogging Exercise In TMP 6.11.2008

Recently in TMP the fogging exercise was completed to keep the mosquito population at bay temporarily as one of the many measures to maintain the healthy living concept in TMP, do take note that the fogging exercise was initiated and paid for by the RA through the collection of the monthly service fees.
Hence to all contributors, this is only but one of the many costs involved in maintaining TMP. I can also predict not in the distant future that we are required to also do some maintenance work on the perimeter wall fencing i.e. painting the grille and wall itself plus other repairs.
Another recently approved initiative is to have 7 road humps erected in designated areas after careful surveys done of the entire TMP area. This is to discourage the many drivers in TMP whom allegedly speeding very dangerously without any concern that they may one day knock into a child crossing the road to the park or maybe cycling along the roads in TMP.
The RA has opted to go ahead and be proactive in getting things done as MPSJ reply to the RA that they were unable to erect the road humps due to the fact that the said roads handover are yet to be completed (mind you this has been the same reason more than a year ago when the RA first applied to have these road hunps erected for the safety and well being of the residents).
Imagine the duration of time it takes to get things done or for the authority to compel the developer to act in a social responsible manner? Imagine if an accident was to happen in TMP, then what will the reaction be? You tell me?
Imagine if the RA was not formed then what will happen, if the well being was left to the authority and the developer? Hmmmmmmm.............. from all the ding dong they are involved in until today probably status quo.
The next project the RA will like to embark on as planned will be to construct the second entry lane, this is more complicated and the RA is currently pushing hard to get the approval from MPSJ. We have not heard any reply yet from MPSJ as this particular issue requires the regazetting of the said area to be used to carry out the said proposed dual entry lane. Very complicating but the ball is rolling and currently on the MPSJ side of it. The RA is prepared to fork out the amount for the said construction as this is for the benfit of all the residents in TMP but alas still the same old dilemma of waiting for a favourable reply (this proposal was submitted more than a year ago as well).
Stay tuned.........

Impromptu Gotong Royong 19.05.08/6.00 PM

Above picture slides showing volunteer residents hard at work clearing shrubs and bushes to eliminate all possible blind spots in the vicinity of the entrance as well as junctions noticable in TMP.

This is to enhance safety and to prevent accidents from occuring as the saying goes "Prevention is better than a cure". This activity was organised as soon as a resident informed the RA that a very close shave was encountered due to the blind spot and luckily an accident was avoided.

The RA in TMP consists of residents equally concerned like any other residents that understand the meaning of communal living concept where teamwork is important and sharing of resources is strongly encouraged to maintain and to enhance living conditions in TMP for the betterment of all especially the next younger generations. They will reap all the benefits we sow today for a better tomorrow.

Kudos to all the caring residents in TMP and may the number of such residents rise futher to strengthen the community spirit in TMP.

The RA would also like the local authority especially MPSJ to look into maintaining this area of concern more regularly and to ensure that these dangerous corners as well as windy roads have speed breakers and proper signages to highlight the dangers in order to prevent rather than to cure.

The RA have previously submitted requests pertaining speed breakers and additional lighting for these road/s but to date we are still awaiting a favorable response. Indeed we are looking for a positive response after months of patience and again urge MPSJ to implement immediate measures before any untoward accident/s happen.
