Rukun Tetangga
Dari Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, ensiklopedia bebas.
Rukun Tetangga merupakan satu program sukarela yang bertujuan untuk membantu dalam pembangunan masyarakat setempat di Malaysia. Konsep program ini hampir sama seperti Neighbourhood Watch seperti yang diamalkan di United Kingdom.
Sehingga Mei 2006 sebanyak 3,228 Kawasan Rukun Tetangga (KRT) telah ditubuhkan di seluruh negara [1].
Sejarah
Rukun Tetangga telah ditubuhkan oleh kerajaan Malaysia pada tahun 1975 asalnya untuk menjamin keselamatan penduduk setempat [2]. Satu akta yang dikenali sebagai Peraturan Rukun Tetangga 1975 (P.U. (A) 279/75) [3] telah diluluskan untuk memberikan kuasa-kuasa tertentu kepada pertubuhan tersebut.
Pada 1984, fokus pertubuhan ini bertukar kepada merapatkan hubungan di antara pelbagai kaum di Malaysia. Kemudian pada 2001, fokus program ini sekali lagi bertukar kepada fokus sekarang, iaitu pembangunan masyarakat setempat.
Peranan
Peranan utama Rukun Tetangga ialah menganjurkan kumpulan-kumpulan rondaan yang bertugas pada waktu malam untuk mengurangkan kegiatan jenayah di sekitar kawasan kejiranan. Anggota kumpulan rondaan biasanya dianggotai oleh ahli-ahli masyarakat di kawasan kejiranan tersebut.
Selain itu, setiap KRT digalakkan menganjurkan seberapa banyak kegiatan berbentuk kemasyarakatan, kebajikan dan pendidikan selain program meningkatkan perpaduan dan integrasi kaum.

This information is taken from the Brochure issued by Cawangan Hal Ehwal Awam Jabatan Pengurusan Polis and we acknowedge with thanks for the use of this information on this website.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHYSICAL PROTECTION
Fix a door viewer, latch chain and surface latches on the main door
Main doors should be of solid construction and fitted with a good quality mortise lock with dead bolting feature, i.e. a key is needed to lock and unlock the door
Install iron grilles with good quality key operated locks for windows
Lock up any ladders, tools and equipment to prevent intruders from using them to enter your house
Trim overgrown tree branches, bushes and shrubs along the perimeter fencing regularly to prevent intruders from using them to enter or hide in your compound
Install lamps with sensors to illuminate your compound and detect intruders
SECURITY MEASURES
Lock all doors and windows when leaving home attended, even for a short while
Do not hide keys under the doormat, in flowerpots or on top of the electricity meter box outside the house
Do not leave notes outside your house announcing your absence from home
Change all locks when your house keys are lost or stolen
Cancel all deliveries (e.g. newspaper) when you are away from home for a few days
Leave the radio or light on at night to give an "at home" appearance
Keep large sums of cash in banks and expensive jewellery in a safe deposit box
Ask your immediate neighbours to keep an eye on your house while you are away
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROBBERY IN HOMES
Keep the grilles, gates or wooden doors locked at all times
Never open the door to strangers
Identify visitors through the door viewer and keep the chain latch of the door fastened when talking to visitors
Inform your family members in advance if you are sending someone unknown to your house
ROBBERY IN PUBLIC PLACES
Be wary of strangers following you or loitering at the lift landing
Avoid taking the lift with any suspicious stranger. Arrange for someone to escort you when returning home late
When inside the lift, always stay close to the lift control panel. This would enable you to control the lift in case a stranger rushes in just as the door is closing
Avoid wearing expensive jewellery or carrying large sums of cash
Plan your route and avoid dark and deserted areas. Use crowded and well lit areas
Beware of suspicious persons loitering at lift areas, stairways, along corridors and isolated public areas
Carry a shrill alarm with you and use it to deter the culprit or to attract the attention of passers-by
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE ROBBED
Remain calm, do not resist if the culprit is armed
Note the description of the culprit, e.g. his appearance, complexion, clothing, mannerism, movements and other physical details. This will help the police to identify the robber later
Take note of the culprit's direction and means of escape. If a vehicle is used, record the registration number, colour and make of the vehicle. Also note the direction where the vehicle was seen heading towards
Call the police at 999 or your nearest Neighbourhood Police Post / Neighbourhood Police Centre immediately

Residents of BSD bring down illegal ads

Residents bring down illegal ads
By JAYAGANDI JAYARAJ
AFTER putting up with the many illegal banners and advertisements in their area for years, the residents of Bandar Sri Damansara tore them down themselves yesterday.
The initiative by the Bandar Sri Damansara Residents Association (BSDRA) was supported by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) which lent a helping help in tearing down the ads and banners.
About 20 residents and 10 MBPJ enforcement officers gathered at the area as early as 8am to discuss and delegate different groups to different areas of the township.
Do it together: One of the residents going up a ladder to bring down an advertisement on lorries for rent.
However the bulk of the activity was centred along the commercial areas of Persiaran Perdana and Persiaran Margosa where most of the ads were unscrupulously pasted or nailed to trees, lamp posts and TNB junction boxes.
They managed to remove more than 200 big and small ads.
BSDRA president Ravindran Raman Kutty said the residents had been putting up with the problem for 15 years although the MBPJ held cleaning up operations from time to time.
He said the banners and ads had been an eyesore not only to people who lived in the area but also to those visiting it.
“We clean it up but by tomorrow a fresh batch of ads will be up. We suggest that the MBPJ look into the matter seriously. The council should summon the owners by tracing them via the numbers advertised on the banners.
Cleaning up: MBPJ officers helping to dismantle the illegal ads.
“The problem can be curbed only if action is taken against these people,” he said.
Also present at the event was MBPJ councillor Chan Chee Kong.
He said the initiative by the residents was a good example on how to care for the neighbourhood.
“Such activity creates good awareness and sets an example for other residents associations,” he said.

People’s Voice at Bandar Utama

BANDAR Utama folk! Your views and concerns about local issues will be heard loud and clear on Sunday as The Star People’s Voice - You’ve Got the Power campaign kicks off its first carnival at your neighbourhood.
In fact, what you have to say will be heard not only by the local council and relevant agencies who have been invited to the event, but also nationwide via live broadcasts by RedFM.
The carnival will be held from 9am to 5pm at the Bandar Utama multipurpose Hall.
Part of campaign: Look out for RedFM People’s Voice cruiser that will be cruising into neighbourhoods in the Klang Valley in conjunction with the People’s Voice — You’ve Got the Power campaign.
Residents are welcome to direct their questions to the panel consisting of representatives from the authorities in a forum to be held at the stage area.
Security, the most heatedly discussed issue in Petaling Jaya, has been chosen as the topic of the day.
Selected members of the panel will also be invited on air to answer questions fielded by residents during the forum.
Bandar Utama Residents Association chairman Datuk Manpal Singh said the new collaboration between RAs, The Star and RedFM would benefit all as that would provide an effective channel to highlight issues affecting the residents.
“The collaboration will help RAs to bolster their strength, bring the communities closer and encourage new participation among the younger generation, whose busy schedule might have deterred them from involving themselves actively in raising local issues.
Crowdpuller: Inflatable castles and other games and activities are some of the attractions at the first People’s Voice — You’ve Got the Power campaign.
“The carnival is something that will appeal to them, and we believe they should be concerned because at the end of the day, the issues affect their living space,” he said.
Manpal was confident that the carnival would be attended by more than 5,000 residents.
Apart from the forum, a string of activities has been lined up for a fun day.
Games and contests are in place to keep the children occupied while adults can check out the many booths set up by government agencies and business entities.
Students from several schools in Bandar Utama will put up performances and best of all, food will be served!
BURA deputy president Lim See Meng, who is also a member of the organising committee, urged residents to attend the carnival.
“It is a golden opportunity that we have the decision makers coming to our neighbourhood to hear our grouses, Moreover, it is going to be a fun and fruitful day for us all,” he said.
The first 500 to turn up at the Star booth of the carnival will receive a RM20 voucher each.
The Star People’s Voice - You’ve Got the Power campaign was launched recently as a community initiative by The People’s Paper to connect the residents and the authorities.
Under the campaign, carnivals will be held fortnightly at selected residential areas in the Klang Valley over the next 12 months.
The RedFM People’s Voice cruisers will be present at the carnivals and they will also make their rounds to various residential areas at least twice a day.
