RAs’ wishlist for 2011

Saturday January 8, 2011

Pangsapuri Damai Senja Rukun Tetangga chairman K Sathiveloo
·MBPJ should make sure that all the streetlights are working because many of the snatch thefts happen in dark areas.
·The parking problem is really bad in our area along PJS 1/52. Cars double park by the road and buses have problems passing through to pick children up in the mornings. We hope that MBPJ will step up enforcement and put in some speed breakers as well.
·We also want better roads and drains because the roads around our area are in bad condition.

Section 3 Petaling Jaya Rukun Tetangga chairman Shamsuddin Hassan
·Overall, we’ve been thankful to MBPJ for attending to our complaints so we hope that they keep up the good work.
·For us, peak hour traffic at the Jalan Othman roundabout can be a nightmare so we’re hoping for speed bumps in Jalan Sentosa so that cars using it as a shortcut will slow down.
·We’ve had problems with snakes in Section 3 and residents have found seven in their homes so far. We suspect that it is coming from an abandoned house in the area so we hope that MBPj will maintain it.

Taman Mayang Jaya RA chairman Sunny Yap
· AN END to LDP traffic chaos
“Scores people are made to wait unnecessarily on the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) during peak hours due to the traffic congestion as a result of a mistake in planning in the past. With more new development projects coming, traffic congestion is expected to worsen with more vehicles using the highway. We acknowledged that development projects would boost the economy of Petaling Jaya, but the authorities should ensure that sufficient infrastructure being planned and built ahead of the development of housing and commercial projects.”
· Restoration of Local Government Election
“Under the current appointment system, local residents are unable to elect who will represent them to handle their local issues. Only with election will the people be able to effectively elect officers to shape the policies that best serve their interests and needs.”
· Safer and more secure environment
“Make Petaling Jaya a safer place for residents to live in by having plans such as installing more CCTV cameras and increasing police personnel to further reduce the social problems and crime rate.”
