Letter to all RADA Members

URGENT

10 March 2015

Dear Fellow RADA members,

We trust you know by now that RADA has been de-registered recently by ROS (Registrar of Societies, Wilayah Persekutuan K.L.) Some of us went to a meeting with ROS officers on Monday 9^th March to seek further clarifications. At that meeting, we presented all our annual reports and accounts. The ROS officer was satisfied that everything is in order and has advised us to put in an appeal. With such words of reassurance, we are optimistic and confident that the outcome of the appeal will be positive. However, the appeal review process will take time, and it will be a few months before RADA can be re-instated.

It is indeed regrettable that other than the de-registration issue, we have also been plagued by various problems with DBKL, no thanks to some disgruntled residents who took their complaints about the autogates to DBKL. In addition, there have been a slew of despicable and criminal acts by a certain “titled individual” and his minion, resulting in damage to our access card readers and boom gates. 

We have made police reports to take legal actions against these culprits, but again, we will have to wait for justice to take its course. Meanwhile, we do hope you will bear with some of the inconveniences, while staying vigilant to help us in our effort to curb further wrongdoings by these lawbreakers.

Please be aware that all these antics by the culprits are means of making RADA defunct, to avoid paying for damages to our boom gates and card readers. Of course, they are also trying to discredit our work to turn all members and residents against us. Please bear in mind our good track record in the past few years, and do not fall into their traps.  

Finally, rest assured that RADA ex-committee members are still working hard to maintain good security in our taman in spite of all these adversities. We are confident that with your continuous support, we will soon overcome all the problems created by the detractors. 

We thank you again for your cooperation and understanding.    

An open letter to Jln Desa Aman 3 Residents

17 November 2012 

Dear Fellow Residents of Jln Desa Aman 3

Since the inception of a security scheme in our taman by RADA in November 2010, we have been enjoying crime-free and worry-free days. J Our family members and visitors alike can walk and cycle within the taman without fear of being attacked by snatch thieves; our homes are safe from break-ins by burglars; and our cars parked on the street at night are no longer vandalized or stolen. In addition, property value has gone up in this taman and real estate agents are seeking to purchase our houses! Yes, this is all because people have now come to perceive our taman as a guarded community and a safe neighborhood. But sadly, all this will come to an end for us soon, most likely by 1 January 2013. L  

Why? This is because the RADA Committee has made a decision to drop Jln Desa Aman 3 from the security scheme by the end of 2012. When this happens, the boom gate at Jln DA 3 will be moved to the junction at Jln DA 8, and our jalan (No. 1 to No. 90) will become freely accessible to all and sundry, including snatch thieves, burglars and thugs. We will in effect become the target of crimes because we will be the only street in Taman Desa Aman with NO security. What a grim and frightening prospect! L  

You can probably guess why we are being dropped from the security scheme. Our subscription rate has been hovering around 70% since 2010, the lowest among all the jalan in this Taman. Of late, this has dropped even further. For the last quarter (Oct to Dec 2012), only about 50% or 52 houses (From No. 1 to No. 90) paid subscription. The amount collected is no longer sustainable. RADA Committee has no choice but to drop us, in order that security services can be continued for the rest of the taman. We have only ourselves to blame for this sorry state of affairs. We cannot blame other people, after all, why should the residents on other jalan continue to subsidize and pay for our security?  

Low subscription rate is but one among several reasons why the RADA Committee is dropping us like hot potatoes! Some of you can guess why. Jln DA 3 residents are giving the RADA Committee and the rest of the residents in this taman too many problems and headaches:

1)     Many residents on Jln DA 3 habitually double park on the road, even though they can park their cars in their own porches or driveways. Not only do they obstruct traffic flow and cause inconvenience, they pose hazards to their neighbors and other road users. This situation is worst near the boom gate, because residents even park and block the emergency entrance!  RADA Committee is sick and tired of receiving complaints from residents, as well as security guards who suffer verbal abuse whenever they try to stop such inconsiderate and illegal parking.  

2)     Some residents on Jln DA 3 and their visitors are such a nuisance that security guards are not willing to work at that boom gate anymore. As such, RADA Committee finds it very difficult to manage the security team. Nuisance ranges from unreasonable demands to challenges to fight, even to manhandling the guards! Yes, all these because they do not want to comply with rules that they perceive as causing them “inconveniences”. Some of them are non-paying residents, who forget that even the paying residents are putting up with such “inconveniences” without any complaint.  

For the sake of everyone’s safety on Jln DA 3, we have taken the initiative to negotiate with the RADA Committee for us to remain in the security scheme. The committee has agreed to consider our request, if we can meet the following conditions:  

1)     We bring up Jln DA 3 subscription rate to a sustainable level, starting with the collection for the last quarter, Oct to Dec of 2012.  

2)     We form our own Jln DA 3 Subcommittee to handle and solve the other two major problems listed above. 

For the continued safety of everyone on Jalan DA 3, we now appeal to all of you for cooperation and support. If you have not paid for the last quarter of Oct to Dec 2012, please pay up as soon as possible. Also, please persuade your non-paying neighbors to start to contribute (see appended list), and please volunteer to serve in the Jln DA 3 Subcommittee. To pay subscription, you may drop off your checks at the guard house at Jln DA 9, or houses Nos. 4, 77 or 87 on Jln DA 3. Please contact one of us if you are willing to help and serve on the Jln DA 3 Subcommittee.   

Thank you. 

Yours sincerely

Jln DA 3 representatives

Please support our fencing project!!

In order to strenghten Taman Desa Aman's security, we have proposed fencing up the main border of taman to block unwanted access from bushes and empty land. We targeted 150-200 houses' support with a one time contribution of RM350.00 each house.

The fence does not merely provide better protection, but to lessen our guards burden so that they can focus on more jobs. In addition, a taman with fences will improve the overall image hence better property value.

We are from time to time, try our best with limited budget to provide better living environment. From the past we have contracted security guards, build boom gates with booth, install appropriate lighting, install alarm system, install CCTV, among others, with the support of all residents. We hope this project would be another successful effort.

Please continue with your strong support by contributing the RM350.00 fencing fee, or contact our road representatives for more information.

雪隆 22/06/11 - 24/06/11 起开始制水

（吉隆坡15日訊）雪州水務公司（SPLASH）于本月22日早上8時至23日早上8時進行提升水閘工程，吉隆坡直轄區、烏雪縣、鵝嘜縣及八打靈縣91個地區、14萬個水供戶頭，70萬商民將面對24小時至48小時斷水！

　雪州水供有限公司在報章刊登廣告指出，雪州水務公司因安裝第8號1350毫米的水閘，將在22日早上8時至23日早上8時，暫時停止雪蘭莪河污水處理站1的操作以進行提升工作。

　該公司公關部高級經理阿都哈林說，吉隆坡直轄區12個地區、烏雪縣14個地區、鵝嘜縣10個地區及八打靈縣45個地區，共91個地區的14萬個戶頭，高達70萬名用戶受影響。

　阿都哈林今日接受《中國報》電訪時，這么指出。

　他說，完成工程后該公司會在24小時內局部恢復水供，最遲24日早上8時用戶可以正常使用水供。

節省用水

　“同時，我們提早刊登斷水消息，讓用戶有足夠的時間，儲備水源應付不便，我們的水槽車也會隨時候命！”

　《中國報》記者抽樣電訪各區地方組織，包括小販公會、村長及市議員，惟他們說並沒有如常接獲雪州水供有限公司親自致電、手機短訊及派傳單的通知，暫不知道斷水消息。

　他們說，一兩天的斷水對普通家庭而言影響不大，因還可使用蓄水槽的水，同時儲蓄好足夠的水，再加上節省用水，只用于基本需要如洗刷洗澡，生活作息必可照常進行。

　“但斷水或對商家小販造成較大的影響，還有一些需要大量水的工廠，斷水一天已很不便，兩天更是加重為難。”

　他們說，小販用水量大，數十名小販一起做生意的話，蓄水槽的水最多也只能維持一兩小時，最后就得出動儲備的水。

　“我們不反對進行提升工作，畢竟有利于民，但希望工程如期完成，儘快恢復水供，把麻煩減到最低。”

時間短影響小
★轟埠新村村長

以往若有斷水，雪州水供有限公司官員將親自聯絡我，或派傳單，但這次我卻沒有接獲他們的通知，只在報章刊登，若沒有閱讀報紙就不知道斷水了。

　我認為因提升工程而導致斷水是情有可原的，畢竟提升對民眾有益，除非是無故斷水，那當然會引起居民不滿。

　僅斷水24小時，對普通家庭沒有多大影響，大不了就是出外吃，少些用水，畢竟還有蓄水槽，儲備了水該可應付一兩天的基本所需。

　我也相信情況嚴重的話，雪州水供公司該會派出水槽車來救濟用戶。

未接來函通知
★斯里白沙羅鎮小販公會秘書陳治旗

我們還未收到當局來函通知，但沒有水供的話，對小販造成極大影響，更何況斷水還可能維持兩天。

　巴剎小販中心雖有蓄水槽，但水很骯髒，根本不能使用，此外，蓄水槽的面積也不大，連77名小販一天的使用量也不足。

　如果所有人一起使用，這蓄水槽在一兩小時內就會用完，所以還未依靠儲蓄的水做生意。

　四五年前一度發生斷水，當時我們面對很多問題手忙腳亂，希望這次斷水不要超過一天，兩天的話對小販影響很大！

影響工廠商家
★雙溪毛糯新村村長何淑雲

我也還未接獲有關斷水消息，我本人認為斷水一兩天該沒什么大問題，尤其是在用戶已儲備好足夠的水后，可以渡過“難關”。

　尤其是普通住家有自己的蓄水槽，影響更不大，節省用水就行了，且有時候也會提早完工，提早恢復水供。

　然而，或對工廠商家造成比較大的影響，雙溪毛糯新村有許多工廠，但所幸大部分為傢俬廠，所以相信問題不大。

準備足夠的水
★八打靈再也市議員陳志剛

往日我也會接到雪州水供有限公司的短訊通知斷水，但至今我還未收到消息，若有我會傳送給其他市議員。

　我認為一兩天的斷水影響不大，很多組屋都有自己的蓄水槽，可應付一兩天的使用量，除非斷水一週，問題就大了。

　再說，雪州水供公司已提早通知斷水消息，希望居民準備好足夠的水應付不便，若有問題，可向該公司或市政廳要求支援。

Gangguan Bekalan Air: 1st June 2011 (Wed)

NOTICE OF AGM 2011

TAKE NOTICE that RADA will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on:

Date: Sunday 27th February 2011
Time: 10.00am
Venue: Jalan Desa Aman 11 (Behind shophouses)

ALL RADA PAYING MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND THIS AGM.

Indiscriminate crime

Saturday January 1, 2011
TheStar

I REFER to Gursharan Singh’s letter in StarMetro on Dec 20 highlighting the rising cost of security in housing estates.

I do not agree that only 30% of residents in high-income group (as computed by him) needed security services.

I believe that every resident, no matter rich or poor, needs protection.

In the area where I live in Cheras, there are cases of robbery every week both at night and in the day. The robbers do not discriminate between the rich and poor.

We even had four cases in one night too. All these crimes only stopped after our residents’ association hired security guards three months ago.

We have over 70% participation from residents contributing to the monthly security fees. While most of us are not rich, we pay the fee not just for protecting of our properties but more out of concern for our safety. The fee is RM70 but many of us can only afford to pay between RM30 and RM50, so our RA allows those of us who are poorer to pay less.

I urge all residents who are lucky enough to have a RA working hard on this to play your part by participating in the programme for the safety of everybody.

We do not have the luxury anymore to just rely on the police or the neighbourhood watch. Don’t sacrifice safety for small conveniences.

Letter to RADA

Hello,

I would like to thank the pro-tem committee for a job well done! It’s a good start, we can work on further improvement, other issues and details later on.

I appreciate representatives going round to collect the monthly fees from residents. However, since we are not always at home, we don’t mind dropping the check into the letter box of one of the representatives. May I suggest that you publicize this in the blog? Or reply to me with this info? Thanks!

Also, to encourage more residents to participate in this security project, may I suggest that the blog also list all the houses in Tmn Desa Aman,  and indicate which are the ones participating (i.e. paying fees) in the project?

Thanks!

..............................................................................

Dear Dr Gan,

Thanks for your support and encouragement.

In fact we received calls from residents on fee collecting suggestions:
1. To pay quarterly.
2. Online payment.
3. Permanent mailbox or location for payment.

We propose the following:
1. For November, we shall collect 2 months payment (Nov & Dec 2010). Thereafter quarterly payment from January 2011 onwards.
2. Online payment: our registration still in progress. Before this we can't open own bank account hence this option has to defer.
3. Permanent mail box/location for payment: Currently you can drop your cheque to the following address:
    a) 22 Jalan 10 (En. Hassan - Chairman)
    b) 6 Jalan 8 (Mr. Kor - Secretary)
    c) 47 jalan 10 (Mr. Ch'ng - Treasurer)
Note: Only Cheque or Postal Order. Don't drop Cash!

On your suggestion of listing all house that participating in this project, yes we will, but would be at end of this month as we are trying to push more participants.

best regards,
Ch'ng Soo Yang
Pro-tem Treasurer

Some Q&A

Q: Why we having female guards? some guards looks young age too.
A: Due to the short notice given to security company, we are actually having some local guards temporarily. Some guards will be replaced once the right guards are recruited. We are planning a mixed of 3 foreign: 1 local mix initially. The local guards are more experienced and will guide the new guards.

Q: When will we have car stickers?
A: Due to the machine breakdown of original printer, we have changed the printer company. The car stckers will be available starting end of this week. For those members that have not submitting your car plate numbers, please contact your representatives or committee members.

Q: Why RADA haven't come to collect our fees?
A: Due to initial difficulties and more time spent to explain Security system, most of our representatives are short of manpower to cover every house. As most representatives have full time work and only can allocate some spare time to help our Taman community, please be initiative and help them by calling them to collect, instead of ask them to knock every house at evening or weekend.

Q: What happened to Jalan 9's gate?
A: It was knocked down by a careless lorry driver. Compensation has been made to us, but repair work would take longer time as we are redesigning the gate.

Q: How was the response of collection so far?
A: Out of about 280 occupied houses, we have collected 80% (220 houses).  (Note: total houses in our Taman = 350 but many are unoccupied or rented). As we still collecting the remaining few, the final figure would be available by end of the month.

Q: Why some are paying less?
A: We classified the full paying houses as "member", while those paying below full fee, as "contributor". Those paying less mainly due to poor financial status, or contributions from tenants/outsiders. Only member will be given House Plate, where the security guards will pay attention to their house. No obligation for the guards to check the non-member house even it could be a break-in or rob case.

Q: Would it be possible to reduce monthly fee of RM70?
A: Yes it is possible. Currently the fees collected are used to pay security company (90%), gates and guard houses (30%), car stickers and house plates (20%) and stationery, still a bit short of fund. If we could collect all full fee from at least 250 houses, the fee could be reduced in January 2011 onwards.
