良禽择木而栖–A good bird chooses the tree upon which to perch

The western end of Jalan PP2/8 of TPP8A  is indeed a bird sanctuary for many species of native birds and a frequent stop over for migratory birds as well. The reserved green belt along the water retention basin wetland is an ideal breeding ground or natural habitat for a dozen species of exotic and native birds in the vicinity of Puchong suburb .

A pair of baby dove last sighting before back to wilderness

Every morning and evening, dawn and dusk, especially after raining you can easily sighted King fisher, Water-hen, Magpie robin, Common Myna, Jambul, Bee-eater, Spider-hunter, Sun-bird…………foraging, flying and singing. An explicit  scene of  biodiversity and bird conservation region.

It is interesting to share with my fellow 8A residents that a pair of Peaceful (zebra) Dove (merbuk,/ 斑鸠) used to be foraging and singing in front of my residence built its nest and gave birth to two chicks at my bonsai tree just next to the Resident Committee Chairman honour plaque and our security logbook box. Under my custody and care the chicks were grown and set to fly back to wilderness.

Listen to audio below for Peaceful Dove Call

Doves mate for life, are incredibly loyal to each other and work together to build their nest and raise their young. Because they tend to nest in areas that humans can watch, people picked up quickly on the idea that doves were dedicated, honorable and peaceful. While hawks and other birds of prey would violently attack their neighbors, the dove was a bird of peace, eating seeds, easily trained to eat out of the hand or to become domesticated. Beginning with the Egyptians, the dove was as symbol of quiet innocence. The Chinese felt the dove was a symbol of peace and long life. To early Greeks and Romans, doves represented love and devotion, and care for a family. The dove was the sacred animal of Aphrodite and Venus, the goddesses of love and friendship. The dove also symbolized the peaceful soul for many cultures.

Agenda of the meeting

The controversies over the demolition order of the divider fencing and common playground were finally cleared by a 4-Parties Meeting held in Melur conference room at MPSepang Cyberjaya this afternoon. The meeting called by YDP was chaired by Puan Rozeta Binti Md Yusof (Pengarah Jabatan Perancangan) it was attended by Mr Teh, Mr Tai and Mr Yap from Plenitude, Mr  Issac Lai  & 2  committee members Chen & Kiew from 8B, Ahli Majlis Mr Pulanthran, And few other officers from the Majlis. Our 8A RA delegation was represented by Chairman Mr Kong, Mr Ng Kuo Sin, Dr Joan Tan, Priya and Aaron Wong.

Puan Rozeta started the meeting with her welcoming speech followed by briefing on the current status of 8A & 8B G&G application process and approval. Both 8A & 8B were granted the approval for G&G planning, while 8A got all the necessary approvals or license for Gated and Guarded Community Scheme including the TOL, Building Permit, TNB and Syabas for the guard-house.

Whereas 8B guard-house still not getting the TOL and Building Permit yet, There are still some technical matters pertaining to the issue (i.e. too close to the main road and sitting on the drain). The existing divider fencing shall remain for security reason until further decision on the following 2 options suggested by Puan Rozeta.

Option 1

8A and 8B shall merge as one scheme, the 8B existing entrance shall serve as emergency exit only, the main entrance for the merger scheme shall be the existing 8A entrance, to remove the existing divider fencing and to open up 2 connecting road barricades.

Option 2

8A & 8B will be separated entirely with fencing on both sides of the playground, small gates will be provided along the fencing, each RA shall decide and manage on the opening hours of the small gates along their side, maintenance of the playground equipment by the Majlis, the cost of putting up the  2nd fencing is entirely borne by developer.

The majlis is in favour of option 1 provided both RA agreed to merge, failing which the only option is full separation of the 2 schemes should 8B got all the subsequent approvals in due course. (i.e. TOL & Building Permit)

Next follow up meeting will be fixed in April to decide which option is preferable by the delegation of 8A and 8B. Once decided the meeting will go into more in-depth discussion.

Option 1: Blue dotted line is Merger G&G Scheme proposed by Majlis
Option 2: Red enclosure indicates 2 separated G & G schemes
