Jeffry Faisal's report on 295 OU 10/1A

Date: Tuesday, 30 March, 2010, 15:10

Dear All,

Agree with the suggestion on the area for GR1. Last week, for the green area (jogging track) between Margosa and Kenanga, I managed to get the officers at MBPJ to come for an inspection to look at the bad state of the area. Immediately after that, they got their subcontractors to clear the area... I am sure you all can see the difference now. However, sad to say, we have noticed the following bad habits of the residents living in the vicinity (Margosa and Kenanga):

a. Residents are throwing their DOMESTIC, GARDEN and CONSTRUCTION (from renovation) WASTE, DEBRIS ect into the green area hoping that the Alam Flora people will clear it. This is a very blatant and selfish act (dont mind to throw anywhere except in own house compound) resulting in the area turning into an open waste burning area.

b. Residents turning the green area adjacent to their homes into their private garden / vegetable plot by not only planting various vegetables/fruit trees etc BUT ALSO having the audacity to FENCE UP the area.. What if every one started doing that? It is a PUBLIC PARK for the enjoyment of the public. 'Enjoyment' here also includes visual (tak menyakit mata)..

c. Although there is clearly a signboard forbidding it, inconsiderate residents not only bring along their dogs to poo on the park making it difficult for us to jog or enjoy our walk, but also FAIL TO PUT THEIR DOGS ON A LEASH.., not only endangering the public but also insensitive to others rights. This is an offence but they dont seem to care.

d. Children and adults passing through throw thier food and drinks wrappers and empty bottles indiscriminately in the park and into the surrounding drains.. Who is to blame? Thier parents of course, who do not teach them not to throw rubbish any where they like.

2. Once we finish the gotong royong, I suggest we send a flyer or engage the residents including the KENANGA street leaders to tell everyone to stop treating our common areas as public dumping grounds. I am sure you all will see that these very culprits are the ones who will not join the gotong royong. Thanks and see you all at the gotong royong.

'Streets has won our hearts and minds'

KUALA LUMPUR: Bandar Sri Damansara Residents' Association (BSDRA) gave Streets the Strategic Media Partner Award 2009/2010 for its excellent, consistent and continuous coverage of charity and community affairs in the township.

BSDRA president Ravindran Raman Kutty said the association was honoured to present the section with the award.

"Streets has won the hearts and minds of Bandar Sri Damansara residents.

"This is the 15th year the executive committee is giving away this award which recognises our media partners who have contributed to the development and betterment of the Bandar Sri Damansara residents and township," Ravindran said at the award presentation ceremony, which was held in conjunction with the association's 15th annual general meeting.


Guest-of-honour Subang member of parliament R. Sivarasa presented the plaque to Streets editor Chan Cheng Tuan.

Chan thanked the association for recognising Streets' contributions in tackling the issues at the heart of the community.

Ravindran also presented awards to The Sun, Radio Televisyen Malaysia, Harian Metro, Sinar Harian, Alam Flora and the Bandar Sri Damansara police.

Streets, a section that focuses on community issues and events, comes with New Straits Times daily except Sundays.

The Sun bags award from Bandar Sri Damansara residents.

award from Sivarasa as Hong looks on.

FOR the fifth consecutive year, the Sun received the Outstanding Strategic Media Partner award from Bandar Sri Damansara Resident’s Association (RA).

This newspaper was among six other media organisations including the New Straits Times, NTV7, RTM and Harian Metro who received awards from the association.

The association also awarded companies and agencies such as Alam Flora, Indah Water and Selangor Public Works Department titles in recognition of their services to the Bandar Sri Damansara neighbourhood.

In addition to this individuals such as Sungai Buloh chief inspector Afandi Hussin and former Bandar Sri Damansara sergeant Adnan Din received awards for facilitating the maintenance and security in the area. RA Committee members’ were also recognised for their performance last year.

All award recipients received a plaque.

Present were Subang MP R. Sivarasa, association president Ravindran Raman Kutty and deputy president Andrew Hong who presented the awards to the recipients.

The main issue addressed during the ceremony was security and safety in residential areas. In his speech, Sivarasa said it was unfortunate that communities have retreated into enclaves due to the gated and guarded schemes which are on the rise.

“This is however only a stopgap measure that people are forced to implement,” he said and accused the police of inefficiency in minimising crime.

“We have over 100,000 policemen and women and that is more than enough for the entire nation’s population of about 27 million,” he said.

Sivarasa said Malaysia’s ratio of policemen to people is about one to 200, just above Interpol’s recommended ratio of one to 250.

He said the overall ratio of policemen deployed for crime prevention to residents in Petaling Jaya is one to 1,250.

“This is just the average ratio as in some areas, such a Kota Damansara, the ratio is one policemen to 3,000 residents.”

Meanwhile, Ravindran said the standard operating procedures created by the RA’s security team has reduced crime in the area by over 86%.
