Our Neighbourhood Theme Song for our Party on Dec. 23, 2011

Dear all,


The neighbours theme song shall be the song for the night.

Some of us may be interested to learn the song in advance. Especially, we know there are those with good strong voice. It will be nice if you could lend your voice to sing the song .

Feel free to email to those who are coming to the dinner and may like to know the song.



The lyrics:



Neighbours, everybody needs good Neighbours


Just a friendly wave each morning, helps to make a better day


Neighbours, need to get to know each other


Next door is only a footstep away






Neighbours, everybody needs good Neighbours


With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend


Neighbours, should be there for one another


That's when good Neighbours become good friends

MALAM MESRA PERPADUAN

Another year draws to a close and 2012 is just around the corner. To end the year with a ‘bang’, our RT SS2B will be organizing a ‘Malam Mesra Perpaduan – Perayaan Christmas dan Tahun Baru on Friday 23 Dec 2011.

The gathering this year will be held at SS2/34 padang and for a change, we will be doing a ‘sit down’ dinner. We plan for a 9-course Chinese dinner with table seating on the basketball court. For our muslim residents, there will be special halal tables set up.

The tentative program for the day will include, among others, ‘Line dancing, Christmas caroling, a fancy dress competition, fancy hat contest, table games, children games, lucky draws, karaoke and photo sessions with santa and santarina. The dress code is ‘smart casual’ and you are encouraged to wear Red or green (our colour theme for the night).

Our RT is subsidizing half the cost of the dinner for residents and so you only need to pay RM20 per seat (irrespective of age). If you wish to bring along a non-resident for the dinner, the cost is RM40 per person.

Table seating will be done by the committee and tickets will be sent to residents by 18 Dec 11. A table will seat 10 persons. We encourage all to get to know one another during the dinner.

Python Number 4 in SS2B? Caught on September 24, 2011

(Sat) 02:40 am - Alerted by security supervisor Mr Motas and security guard Mr Siva about a snake inside my house compound ( House No.10, Jalan 21/3 SEA Park ) after they responded to a passer-by Mr Choong ( driving a white Kancil ) who saw Python crossing the road ( behind guard "pondok" ) at intersection between Jln 21/5 and 21/3 respectively. Meanwhile, Mr Choong had contacted Talian Cop for assistance.

The Crime Scene?

Our "Ranchos"

- With the arrival of Bomba and assisted by the security personnel began immediately searching for the Python which had taken refuse below the broken drain bottom which also connects to rear section of the retaining wall. The Python was moving back and forth.

Note 1 : At one point the Python was moving along the drain towards the house but later retracted into its safe haven.

- Minutes later a first and later a second PDRM police patrol cars arrived to contain the situation, but very few people at that time! Bomba "flushed-out" the Python by applying direct heat into the openings of drain and crevices of the wall, and after some 35 mins managed to retrieved the Python


03:15 am - Bundled the captured Python into a bag and securely tied later caged by Bomba. Everyone was relieved that the ordeal was finally over.



03:20 am - A job well-done by our Bomba assisted by dedicated personnel from M/S Team Guards Security Sdn Bhd and the civic-mindedness of a passer-by which otherwise would cause sleepness nights and fear amongst the residents nearby.


I take this opportunity to thank everyone and kudos to our security guards for their dedication and bravery in discharging their duties for the betterment of a safe and peaceful living environment.

Kind regards from a happy resident - Harry TEH


(Report Submitted by Mr. Harry Teh)
Note: It was the week-end night out for the python too! So, please be on the alert at all times if you are in our neighbourhood in the early hours of Saturdays! And many thanks for great pictures Mr. Teh!

Rukun Tetangga SS2B Newsletter -August 2011

Security Scheme
Recap- We started our security scheme in June 2009 due to requests from residents. There were cases of snatch thefts, car break-ins and theft, home invasions, kidnapping and a serious case of a family who were robbed and hurt in front of their own house.

The scheme was implemented with input from many residents. None of us were conversant in operating such a scheme and we stumbled and fell as we learnt along the way. Our belief in our neighbours and our desire to work together to have a safer neighbourhood has resulted in the final successful implementation of the scheme.

We are now closer to one another and we move around our neighbourhood, with much more confidence, sense of belonging and pride. Comparing this to the time we were hesitant to come out for our morning exercise, walk to our nearby shops for fear of being a victim of snatch thieves / robbers, security in our neighbourhood has certainly moved in the right direction.



Maintaining Security.
After the successful implementation of schemes similar to ours, many neighbourhoods have also set up their own security schemes. Security in our area of RT SS2B and its surroundings has certainly improved.



Recent cases
However, we cannot remain complacent and must continue to be vigilant despite the presence of guards in our area. After a long period of peace and quiet, we had a few recent cases of house break-ins. Luckily, no one was hurt.


We take this as a sign that we need to be on our toes again. It is time again to remind ourselves to:

- Keep our gates locked at all times. Please keep it locked even when we are out,

just for a while. It does not pay to trade security with convenience.

- Inform our neighbours / guards when we are away on holiday.

- Watch out for each other and inform the guards if we see any suspicious person or car in our area.

- Leave our porch lights on at night.

- Do not leave newspapers/letters uncollected, a tell-tale sign of unatttended
house.

Safety is our joint responsibility.


Application to MBPJ for approval of our Security scheme
In our last newsletter, we enclosed a letter (green coloured paper) for you to complete and return to us, to signify your approval for our current security scheme. However, only about 40% of residents have responded. Unless we have the written support of the majority ( 75% ) of our residents, our security scheme may be deemed illegal by the authorities and we may be instructed to dismantle our scheme.

We hope to receive approval from MBPJ , so that we can proceed to commit to improvements to our facilities. Upon official approval, we want to install proper boom-gates in place of drums, construct better cabins etc.

We therefore appeal to all those who have yet to return the letter signifying your approval (green coloured), to do so immediately. It would help if you could also ask your neighbours and friends to do likewise.

If you have lost or misplaced the paper, please ask our guards for a copy, or call the security hotline number ( 016-213 1232 ).
 


Security scheme update
Some of our guards have gone back to their home country and at present we have a number of new guards. They may take time to fit in and be familiar with the needs of our area. We can all do our part again to help them settle in and to point out areas for them to improve in.

We can do a spot check of the sign-in post, at the dark-blue coloured letter boxes. We can continue to motivate the guards to do their best. Get to know their names too.

If you have any idea on improvements, kindly write to us and drop it in the letterbox of No. 57, SS2/43.


Be Good and Be Safe during these Holidays!!

"Break-In News".....

There were 2 incidents of burglary in our neighbourhood recently! The first was along SS2/32 which took place at about 1.00pm and the other was along SS2/39 at about 4.00pm - sometimes known as daylight robbery! I have been given to understand that the one along SS2/39 had a bit of 'insider' help but the outsider was caught in the process!

The other piece of 'biting' news was that one resident was bitten by a dog along SS2/39 and needed 4 stitches! This is alarming indeed!

What's happening here?

Find Out What The 'Mouse' Can Do For You!

An Ultra Beginners' Class was conducted on July 09, 2011 by RT SS2B at the Sg. Way Community Centre for our Residents eager to learn about how to start up a computer, to discover your 'mouse' and to know about buttons and folders! One small step into information technology!

Sharing Garden Tips and Vermiculture

This IS NOT vermiculture!

Our ladies got together on June 14, 2011 to learn gardening tips from a fellow resident  along SS2.40. They also learned about vermiculture compost making - making your very own worm farm and converting organic waste into fresh useful compost! They also had a first hand look at many types of air-plants as well as the ecology of a healthy garden! How healthier can that be! Keep it up Ladies!

Computer Class for Novice.... Never Too Late To Learn!

In response to offer made in our last newsletter , 28 courageous residents have signed up for the Computer Class. It is heart-warming to know that our senior citizens have taken one important step to keep in touch with the IT world. Our participants include those in 80+s, 70+s, 60+s and 50+s.

The class will be held at a computer lab located in the Sungai Way Community Centre ( opposite the Wet Market ) on Saturday 9th July, 2011. A bus will pick us at SS2/34 basketball padang at 9.00am.

Participants are reminded to have breakfast before coming to the Basketball padang. The bus will start picking us up at 9.00am. Lesson starts at 10am, finish at 12.00pm.

Bus will take us home from 12.30pm. We provide bottled water and light snacks after class.

Participants are also encouraged to bring your laptop if you have one at home. It will be useful to learn with your own computer so that you feel more familiar and confident to explore on your own after the lesson.


We look forward to have a fun-learning and fruitful morning with all !

See you there !
