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

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!
