sharing with you a news report on guarded communities...

Source: The Star Online

KUALA LUMPUR: The Housing and Local Government Ministry is taking a guarded stance on the ‘guarded community’ housing estate concept.

As guarded community housing estates have been mushrooming, of late, the ministry intends to come out with guidelines on the concept.

I am attending the Govt transformation programme open day at subway convention centre right now. Waiting for the briefing & feedback session on the crime nkra right now. I would suggest all who are concerned about the issue to spend today & tomorrow to give your inputs to the Govt transformationteams on issues that matter most to you.

There are 6 nkra that will be presented to the public these 2 days:

reducing crime
reducing corruption
reducing poverty
improving basic rural infrastructure
improving urban public transport
enhancing education

i tried out the food at the new eatery at d'pangkin - "ulam desa".

ulam desa took over from the spice garden and brings a much needed masak kampung flavour to the area.

i had ikan (siakap) bakar & nasi lemak one night. the ikan bakar was nice. a bit pricey though ~ RM21. i understand that the place has lauk asam pedas during lunch time, but have not tasted it.

do share your experiences here.

i thought this is quite brilliant. a must watch.

Rebel outlines ‘invasion’ plan
By PHILIP GOLINGAI

Maintaining that it has valid reasons to ganyang Malaysia, Bendera’s leader reveals details of its planned invasion on Oct 8. Should we be worried?

JAKARTA’s forestry department was the most unlikely place to meet an Indonesian man who was six days away from waging a war against Malaysia.

But that was where my Indonesian journalist friend Samiaji Bintang brought me for a face-to-face interview with Adian Napitupulu, a 38-year-old Batak man spearheading a vigilante group that has vowed to ganyang (crush) Malaysia.

The guidelines for gated and guarded community in Selangor are based on conditions spelled out by the state Housing and Property Board. They are:

- Neighbourhood representatives must register their residents' associations with the Registrar of Societies.

- Eighty per cent of residents must consent to the setting up of a gated and guarded community.

- Boom gates are allowed to be closed only from midnight to 6am daily and security guards have no power to stop a vehicle from going into an area.

Parents in SS19/1 can be assured of their children’s safety with the guarded community service in the neighbourhood.

KUALA LUMPUR: More communities are resorting to putting up boom gates and hiring security guards in an effort to check the rising crime rate in their neighbourhoods.

While the move, generally, has the support of the majority, some residents are irked by it as they say it is an inconvenience.

folks

i have 3 community sites running for bukit jelutong:

http://www.bukitjelutong.net
http://greenlane.bukitjelutong.net
http://education.bukitjelutong.net

the greenlane site is the most active and is the one that seems to attract users who live from all parts of bukit jelutong (and shah alam too!).
