Letter of Appreciation from Syabas Chief Operating Officer to the Chairman

Just to share with all, the TPP8A guard-house was built and handed over by developer to the RA with a very substandard electrical wiring and plumbing works  and without connection to TNB and Syabas,  without building plan approval from the Majlis too. (anywhere, the RA had obtained the guard-house Building Permit on 13th June 2012 through our very own effort).

For your information, since the RA took over the management / maintenance of the guard-house from the developer on 15/11/2011, we had spent over few thousands ringgit to revamp all the water piping works after over 10 incidents of pipe ruptured after the meter and over 5 incidents of pipe rupture reported to the Syabas  between the main to our meter from time to time.

Some pipe ruptures were noticeable while many cases were happened beneath the drain  culvert or buried under the ground. Our water charges went up as high as RM250 per month at one time due to un-noticeable water leakage.

Before we upgraded the lightning surge protection and earthing system, the sensitive boom gate card readers were always receiving complaints for been malfunctioning

Besides plumbing problem, the inferior electrical wiring works also had cost us several thousands to upgrade and  to repair many damages  resulting from poor earthing system and under-specification Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) being installed. The damages we encountered including burned off computer mother board and com-board, surge protector, boom gate controller chips, card reader malfunctions.  According to our boom gate maintenance engineer , all these were caused by poor wiring, poor ELCB and high impedance or poor earth wire against the occasional lightning surge at our guard-house.

151.0 Ohms High Resistance reading before upgrading works
Engineer recommended reading below 1 Ohm.

The amount spent on repair, upgrading  and maintenance of plumbing and electrical wiring works did not include over 12k on connection fees and mandatory contribution to Syabas and TNB.

Being caring, responsive and apprehensive to his client and the general public,  a good governance corporate entity like Syabas did show some appreciation for saving  their water from running off via the ruptured pipe incidents frequently reported by our RA. From our experience, Syabas will attend our complain within 24 hour. Thumbs up to Syabas for its overall efficiency.

Male sunbird

It is not uncommon to have spotted different species of lovely sunbirds feeding on hibiscus nectar along the main road behind our entrance guard house. The RA has spent hundreds of Ringgit on fertilizer to nourish the plant to ensure plenty of hibiscus flower nectar for the sunbird while keeping our Taman entrance always looks  green, flowery, healthy and vibrant.

 The RA is not only entrusted to look after the security system, environment, plants but also sunbird and nesting place for the native white breasted waterhen, greater coucal, peaceful dove, kingfisher……and many more species of bird nesting at the river side wetland so as to maintain the ecosystem and conservation of its biodiversity.

Olive Backed Sunbird  Nectarina jugularis Yellow-breasted Sunbird, Kelichap Bukit  (Malay) (太阳鸟)  is a species of sunbird found from Southern Asia to Australia. It has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even forming their nests in human dwellings. The sunbirds are a group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Their flight is fast and direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by hovering, but usually perch to feed most of the time. Flower tubes that bar access to nectar because of their shape, are simply punctured at the base near the nectarines.  (see photo below)

Gotong Royong /Communal work is when a gathering takes place to accomplish a task or to hold a competition. The Spirit of Gotong Royong is originated from Java Indonesia and the conception of sociality is familiar to large parts of Malaysia.

Gotong Royong can begin at the modest scale from our very own family, between our neighbour or even just on your own as individual during the week-end or any evening. It need not be organised by the local council, ADUN, RA or any other body… So let us do our part as a landscape and environment loving resident by cleaning and trimming your own yard and common area surrounding you regularly. These eventually will turn your home into a most well-kept community in Taman Putra Prima that all 8A residents are very much cherished and proud of.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” –Margaret Mead

Security Perforation: vandalism, or just malicious act?

We had reported the incident to ketua balai Pondok Polis Taman Putra Prima. Soon after the RA had deployed worker to restore it. However we do urge residents to keep an eye on this and be alert.

Grand Security Entrance of PP8A

Selangor Exco YB Teresa Kok, YDP MPSepang, Councillors, PP8A RA Chairman

Security is the No 1 priority for a Gated & Guarded Community, The PP8A RA not only jointly sponsored the event but also actively engaged in the dialogue session with the high ranking PDRM officers including Deputy OCPD DSP Tuan Zaldino, 2 ASP , 3 Inspector many more from IPD Sepang.

According to police  record, from year 2012  till now only 2 cases of robbery and 2 cases of house break in or burglary were reported in Taman Putra Prima. DSP Zaldino thanked the effort of RAs and residents for  the low crime rate, and it was likely attributed to the success of neighbourhood  watch and the wide implementation of gated and guarded scheme

Building up a good and rapport working relationship with the IPD Sepang and pondok police officers is also the most effective way to deal with syndicated crime, gangsterism and other security threat to our peace loving community.
