At the MBPJ Awards Night on October 30, 2009, our Dato' Menteri Besar Selangor, amongst other things, highlighted two main issues which he would like to see in Petaling Jaya - he wants a safe city and he wants a clean city too!
And this is where every neighbourhood in Petaling Jaya can play a role in striving to achieve these 2 goals! MBPJ has announced the formation of a 'special squad' to assist the Police towards making PJ a safe city; residents have likewise been doing so via various means like putting up gated & guarded communities and skim rondaan sukarela (SRS) or voluntary patrol by residents. One other 'software' is to get to know each other in a neighbourhood and be the 'CCTV' to crimes and report them directly to the Police.
A clean city has to start with each individual neighbourhood taking steps to educate residents on the need to not just keep their own front yard clean but also that of the neighbourhood. There are residents who like to gather all their rubbish and drop them off at their neighbour's house! This 'rubbish thy neighbour' habit has to stop!
And yes - we must also stop the act of 'vandallising thy neighbourhood' - be it Government or private properties! The total disregard for Government & private properties by sticking all sorts of notices on them cannot be condoned; even road signages have been plastered all over! We certainly need the will of all stakeholders in a neighbourhood to put an end to this menace!
