SECURITY yet again topped the list of issues concerning Petaling Jaya residents.

About 100 representatives from residents associations and Rukun Tetangga (RT) were invited to witness Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s walkabout in the SS2 commercial area in Petaling Jaya.

Also present at the walkabout which started at the Sea Park police station were Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan, Selangor police commissioner Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.

Several residents’ representatives talked to the ministers after they ended their walkabout at the Pelita Nasi Kandar restaurant.

SS2B Rukun Tetangga chairman Lee Kwee Cheng and deputy chairman Willie Tan managed to have a 10-minute chat and brought up security issues in their neighbourhood.
Lee said they had been working closely with the police in keeping their area safe and hoped for the good working relationship to continue.

“We also told the Prime Minister that we currently have a guarded scheme in SS2B but we hope that the government can improve on the security so that we don’t have to hire our own guards any more,” said Lee.

He said they also asked Hishamuddin if it was possible to increase police presence in the housing areas.

Tan said they also talked to Koh about increasing the RT’s monthly allocation of RM400.

“RTs are put in charge of instilling harmony within a community and we need the funds to organise functions and events,” said Tan.
Petaling Utama Damai Senja Flats chairman K. Sathiveloo, who managed to sit on the same table as the ministers, said he also raised the issue about crime in his area.

“There are many cases of snatch thefts in our area.

“We have been working closely with the police and we are hoping for a shorter response time from the police,” he said.

........SS2B Rukun Tetangga (RT) chairperson Lee Kwee Cheng said she asked Najib for more funds for the RTs.

“The RT is actually a good programme for fostering better unity among the people as it brings the people of all races together to fight crime and for the betterment of their neighbourhood.”

Lee said she also asked Najib whether with the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) residents would no longer need private security companies to guard their homes.

She said the Prime Minister said “I will look into it”.
