Dear Dog Owners

Dear Pet Owners,
(residents who do not practice social responsibility of scooping and carrying plastic bags + residents who let their dogs out without leash)

Year now is 2011 hence I would like to keep it short and simple, it is high time all pet owners especially dogs behave like educated and socially repsonsible individuals.

You are now in a gated community hence please behave responsibly and do not do onto others what you do not like being done to you.

Sad to say but after all these years we are still getting such complaints.

A residents email to me...................


I'm owner of TMP 6 and very frustrated has to bring up this issue again.

Every morning i wish to walk out my door and have a nice fresh clean air and environment but this is what i get. Rubbish mess up in front of my house by the dog released by those irresponsible owner and dog poos on the left and right of my house and neighbor's house too. Sometimes right in front of my back door. Happened once i smelled a horrible stinky smell when i opened by back door....... a huge fish head a step away from my feet. I almost vomited.

It's kind of annoying to see that all the time and the smell too. I really appreciate if management could take some actions to remind all the pet owners in written to either keep their pets in door or they really take responsible to clean up their pets poo.

Guards should take charge to inform the management or the owner if they see their pet wondering around. Guard should know by now those pets belong to which owners if they really do their job paying attention guarding this area. I can remember some of the pets belong to which house for only passing by and if guards can't, we should seriously consider whether there are really capable to keep this garden safe?

Sorry for the complain but i really upset and hope and appreciate management can resolve this matter ASAP. Let us live in a nice, harmony and safe community.

Thanks and warmest regards

SP Lim

Put A Leash On Pet Owners Bad Habits

The article above was taken from the Strait Times dated 22nd August 2008 sepcifically pertaining dog owners needing a nudge to overcome some bad habits especially in regards to picking up their dog's poo (feaces) or simply put "SHIT".

I did write about this issue quite a while back and since such a great article was published which typifies and also in a nutshell describes the attitude of many pet/dog owners in regards to their civic responsibilities.

If you are guilty of not picking up your dog's "SHIT", it is not to late to start doing so and be a responsible resident wherever you may live. I believe it is just a slight tuning in one's head to understand that it is just not a "COOL" thing to do.

Do the "RIGHT" thing and set a good example for your children to follow pertaining this matter for a happy neighbourhood. Please PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET WHEN THEY HAVE DONE THEIR BUSINESS......all it takes is just a plastic bag or two before walking them out of your home and bagging the poo and putting it in the bin. How difficult can that be? Do it and feel the good you are doing to all that uses these common areas especially children.

Remember what goes around comes around.

Dear Michael

There is another animal that you need to highlight which is cats. There are a lot of them roaming the Taman now.

Some of the incidents that I have experienced are attacking the dustbin when it is accidently left unlock by garbage collector, having their meal at my porch and doing their daily business in my flower pots.

Dogs are noisy and is a nuisance but cats are flexible, agile and a pest if their owner don't keep them at home. Who is going to pick up their droppings in your house?
