Updates on Neighbourhood Safety

Eversince our RT SS2B Committee & some residents met Chief Inspector Sahar of SEA Park Police some three weeks ago, our neighbourhood has come under 'attack' in terms of attempted house break-ins, threats as well as actual break-ins and robberies! It would thus appear that this recent spate of events is an open defiance to the Police and has also 'cowed' our residents (pardon the expression since this is also the Year of the Ox) into 'hiding' behind locked gates and fences! But as they say, everyday life must go on lah! Last evening was no different when there was a break-in along Jalan SS2/38 at maybe between 8-9 pm! In the same evening some residents alerted each other when they saw 5 burly guys on motor-cycles hanging out at the SS2/41 'pondok'! As it turned out, and after some checkings with the Police, these were actually plain-clothes Policemen doing their rounds. I think this is one example of neighbourhood networking with respect to security and instead of letting the 'suspicious' sighting pass, residents inform each other of what they see! So, in case of doubt, do call the SEA Park Police at 03-78751382 Chin up and look forward to seeing you all at the Residents' Meeting on March 07, 2009 at 5.30 pm at SS2/41 Field; Till then, be alert and be safe!

Some Pictures on Security Ideas

Look After Your 'GPS' too!

This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology - GPS
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken into while they were at a football
match. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans.

Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently
mounted on the dashboard.

When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen.
The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house.
The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to
clean up the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

MBPJ Gong Xi Party on Feb. 14, '09

RTSS2B together with Beautiful Gate Foundation and MBPJ's Local Agenda 21 sponsorship helped organise a Children's colouring & drawing competition on Feb. 14, '09 at a grand Chinese New Year festival held at the Dewan Civic 'car-park'. There was also a grand procession of Chinese cultural activities as well as 'face-changing' and line dancing performances & Chinese musical and violin performances during the evening. Beautiful Gate also organised a Chinese Calligraphy competition. Many thanks for your participation!

Neighbourhood Security Meeting on 28-02-09

The subject of neighbourhood security will be discussed at a residents' gathering to be held on February 28, 2009 at 5.30 pm at the SS2/41 field. So, residents please come forth and be heard on measures needed to enhance security in SS2B! I have been told February was a 'bad' month in terms of neighbourhood security. And we need to act now! Be seeing you all then!

Breaking 'Crime' News - SS2B Under 'Attack' ! Be Alert!

There has been a spate of crimes during recent days in SS2B neighbourhood. Yesterday, a silver-coloured 'MYVI' WPB 43 was robbed along SS2/32 at about 6.30 pm and the person lost some valuables too- to two guys in a 'Proton' armed with a 'parang' each. This evening, 4 persons on two motor bikes plus a 'parang' each robbed a family of 5 along SS2/43 at about 9.30 pm. On both occasions, residents called RT Committee members who immediately alerted the Police.
It would appear that urgent consideration has now to be given to 'gating and guarding' the neighbourhood. Invariably, this may give rise to some inconvenience and costs but security is now paramount! Security has always been our area of emphasis but we need co-operation of all residents too. Until new measures are in place to deter crimes, please be EXTRA ALERT during these times!

Children's Colouring Competition on February 14, '09

RT SS2B together with Beautiful Gate Foundation will be supervising the Children's Colouring Competition. All are also most welcome to join in the evening's cultural extravaganza which starts from about 7.30 pm. Keep a date with us (remember it's also Valentine Day too!)

Chief Inspector Sahar Meets with RT SS2B

This was a pro-active meeting by Chief Inspector Sahar of SEA Park Police with SRS(Voluntary Patrol Scheme in English) members as well as Committee members of RT SS2B. We were updated on neighbourhood security matters and our residents had a useful exchange of views with him. I am sure we will look forward to more such 'get togethers' - and our pictures tell the story! Many thanks to Willie Tan too for facilitating the meeting at his brand new residence of course!
