MPSJ gets MCMC to help in war against illegal advertisements

By THO XIN YI

THOSE who put up illegal advertisements in areas under the jurisdiction of the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) will find their advertised telephone lines barred.

MPSJ president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan said at the full board meeting yesterday that the council was working with the Malaysian Communica-tions and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to curb the problem of illegal banners, buntings and stickers offering an assortment of services.

“The MCMC has agreed to co-operate with us on this. We will collect the telephone numbers and submit them to the MCMC, which will then bar the telephone numbers,” he said.

Adnan said the council enforcement personnel would also spray paint on the stickers to cover the numbers.

“This is to let the culprits know that they cannot do such unlawful things in areas under the MPSJ,” he said.

Adnan said those caught red-handed while putting up such advertisements would be fined RM1,000 for vandalism.

He said the MPSJ welcomed ideas and suggestions on redevelopment in certain areas under its jurisdiction, similar to what was being done in Petaling Jaya and Klang under the stimulus package announced by the Selangor government.

“We have received a proposal from a company on redeveloping Kampung Baru Seri Kembangan.

“But it is up to the residents to decide whether they really want it, particularly those staying in old areas that are disorganised and equipped with only poor road and drainage systems,” Adnan said.

“The residents can form a committee and forward their views to us. This is not an overnight job and a long time is needed to study the plans thoroughly,” he said.

The MPSJ is also setting up a wireless broadband access network in the certain zones in the municipality.

“The contractor appointed by the state government will be conducting site surveys to identify the best spots to install the equipment,” Adnan said.

He said the MPSJ also welcomed developers interested in reviving abandoned projects to contact it to discuss their proposals.

Meanwhile, residents will be able to air their grouses and complaints to Selangor local government, research and studies committee chairman Ronnie Liu during a meet-the-people session on May 10 at the Puchong Indah community hall.

This gotong royong is sanctioned by MPSJ, hence do come out in numbers to show force and concern for the very area we live in. This gotong-royong will only mean something if residents themselves come out to participate and be proactive to counter such social ill as vandalism and disregard for public property.
MPSJ will provide ladders for the event and all you need to bring is a wire cutter/scissors for the task. All volunteers are to meet at the Balai Masyarakat MPSJ Zon 9 located in Jalan Sri Puchong 7, Taman Sri Puchong, Puchong, Selangor @ 8.00 AM sharp this coming Saturday,13th December 2008.
