Nevertheless, the scope of taking over work is excluding of perimeter fencing and guard-house which shall remain solely under the care and maintenance of the resident association.

The western end of the newly repaired Jalan Putra Prima Utara is still flooding after heavy down pour. This persistent problem was brought to the direct attention of the Jabatan Kejuruteraan MPSepang by the 8A resident association several months ago.

Among the immediate measures taken by the Jabatan Kejuruteraan including building more scupper drains and weep holes along the flood prone area, two  new box culverts were laid across Jalan  Taman Mas to alleviate the discharge capacity by diverting substantial amount of the storm water to Taman Mas instead of flowing to the over loaded Tmn Putra Prima storm retention basin.

However due to new developments added to the upper stream, plus clogging of water canal at the downstream, Engineer from the Jabatan Kejuruterran of MPSepang En Mohd Hairil Ridza Bin Hashim and Pengarah Puan Nurulbaiti Binti Zainuldin had several discussions and follow up site inspections with the Vice Chairman of the Residents’ Consultative Committee of Zone Putra Prima & Taman Mas (Jawatan-kuasa Perunding Penduduk) or (JPP) Mr Kong Kok Meng.

A quick decision was made yesterday  to deploy a tractor mounted jackhammer to reduce the design level of the spillway structure or ponding level of the existing water retention basin, and to prescribe desilting work at the down stream in order to ease off the slow discharge of storm water.

Hopefully with these rapid remedial actions by the Jabatan Kejuruteraan, the discharge of the excessive storm water that causes frequent flooding to our road is under controlled.  The RA  also like to express gratitude to the officers of Jabatan Kejuruteraan for their dedication.

“你拆，我再放”！

围篱社区计划在雪隆许多住宅区乃见怪不怪。为了保卫家园，不少居协组织都在住宅区设立围栏並聘请保安驻守。

然而，灵市政厅早前就以违反社区围篱指南为由，大阵仗出动执法人员拆除灵市一些住宅区的围篱。

受影响地区的居协组织与八打灵再也市政厅更因此上演“大斗法”，执法人员在拆除栏杆和移除油桶后，居协就在他们拉队离开的当天，重新装上新的栏杆和新的油桶，犹如在玩“捉迷藏”！

遭灵市政厅拆除围栏的地区包括阿拉白沙罗PJU1A/43路与PJU1A/43E路、万达镇BU6/6与BU7/1路、万达镇BU6/2与BU7/1路及SS22/2路。执法人员拆除不符合指南规定的铁柵和移走油桶等。

MPPJ enforcement unit dismantling barricade

“We live in an age where some residents in high-risk spots fear for their security at all times. With broad consensus from the residents concerned, the RAs have taken a practical solution to protect themselves and their properties in view of the inadequacies of our system.

Looking at the situation, the local authorities should have come up with an objective assessment of the area before taking the hard-line approach.

Many questioned the enforcement action by the local council, which should always be above reproach as it is their responsibility to protect residents, too.

It is clear that dissenting views are not uncommon when it comes to the gated-and-guarded concept.”

The term ‘Gated and Guarded’ or G&G often invokes images of an exclusive enclave of the rich and famous. A residential haven with spacious, expensive houses equipped with exceptional security features such as :

• 24-hour patrol services, guardhouses with sentry guards on the alert,
• Gates or high fences at the entrance of the area with rigid rules and stringent regulations for entry and exit systems.
• The state of the art CCTV surveillance and even perimeter fencing with laser detectors.

While this may be true in some cases, in Malaysia, G&G developments are not just catered to the super wealthy but middle class wage earners too.

The home buyers perspectives on G&G Development: Security, privacy, exclusivity, luxury and prestige.

APPEAL OF G&G DEVELOPMENTS

These days, it seems near impossible to flip through the newspaper without reading a harrowing story about a robbery or break-in. Crimes are ubiquitous and people are getting more cautious and willing to pay for their peace of mind. Many property buyers are specifically seeking out a high level of security when searching for their homes. “Guarded and gated developments have become popular largely due to the high crime rates,” says Chan Wai Seen, executive director of JS Valuers Research & Consultancy.

Due to this increasing demand in secure housing, property developers have to constantly evolve their builds in order to keep up with these buyer’s desires.

(19/10/2013 PP8A RA reporting)

In any successful G&G scheme, the two most fundamental and prerequisite physical attributes are the defined non-perforated perimeter fencing and a fully equipped entrance and exit security check point or guard-house.

It is meaningless to have over 96% residents subscription to our security plan with a fully legalized and sophisticated guard-house while our perimeter fencing is torn or in bad shape. More over the RA had fulfilled one of the condition required by the Majlis and developer to sign an undertaking letter (akujanji atau surat sumpah) for the maintenance and up keeping of the defined perimeter fencing and to bear all its cost.

The pictures above are portions of the fencing being torn down by the developer/contractor to pave way for the construction of connecting road between 8A & 8B and later reinstated with barricades and damaged chain-link fence.

It is indeed very eyesore to any reasonable minded residents that such fencing being restored to such a terrible condition for a brand new or just recently handed over beautiful housing estate. Unfortunately after we had made several complaints to Plenitude Permai Puchong project manager, it was unheard, so we left with no choice but to forward another written complaint to Plenitude HQ CEO through the Gabungan Secretary Mr Terence Choong.  Subsequently, the torn fence was restored to an acceptable level by the next working day after his follow-up meeting with Plenitude GM Project Mr Tai Yoon Jen from HQ.

We, the RA and residents of 8A would like to openly thank Mr Terence Choong and Mr Tai Yoon Jen for being most helpful and responsive to our call and concern, and their positive gesture and fast action is very much appreciated.

Accoding to a recent survey conducted by StarProperty.my to find out their top criteria when it came to choosing a property.

Criterion 1: Gated and Guarded

A gated and guarded neighbourhood is important when defining the perfect property

Top on the list for our Malaysian respondents was being in a gated and guarded community. Nearly half the respondents voted this as the most important feature in their dream property.

This can understandably be traced to the number of break-ins and robberies which has been increasing in certain areas, so much so that many homeowners have now installed alarm and security systems.

Somewhat reflecting these findings, the gated and guarded feature has increasingly been seen as a key selling point for many projects.

1. Round-the-clock security patrols,
2. Single entry and exit points,
3. Closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) throughout the development,
4. Perimeter fencing around the development and
5. Access cards give homeowners peace of mind.

Criterion 2: Proximity to work

The amount of time wasted on the road may after all be spent taking your children to the park, catching up with friends over dinner or working out at the gym.

Criterion 3: Friendly, good and trustworthy neighbours

The third most important factor that surprisingly ranked high among most respondents was having friendly and trustworthy neighbours.

Criterion 4: At least two parking spaces

The respondents also agreed that having at least two parking spaces was important.
