The other thing that has been on the committee's mind is the replanning of the guard's house at the entrance to our taman. The current guard house has been in existance since the taman started occupancy, and has never been upgraded. It is time to do an upgrade for several reasons:
1. To enable an easier flow of valid vehicle in and out of the taman, especially during peak hours, but at the same time ....
2. .... to enable the security guards to validate vehicles belonging to non-residents without obstructing the flow of traffic.
3. Image purposes. If a proper guard house is erected, this will definitely boost the image of this taman, and at the same time increase resale value of the houses in this area. (Not that you want to sell your house in this lovely taman right? * wink wink* ;-)
4. In the future, the guardhouse might serve as a gate where residents can use a contactless card (like touch and go type) for entry. No need for car stickers anymore.
Easier said than done. Again, with the fencing project, the guard house project has also been in the limelight among the committee for a long time. There are still a lot of problems that forbids the smooth execution of this project:
1. The obvious problem is the lack of proper space. The two corner houses flanking the entrance took up quite a bit of space. We need to determine who has the authority to the empty spaces. We are talking to MPSJ, Tujuan Ehsan and also the house owner of the two corner houses (which happen to be kindergardens). If we were to widen the road, the kindergardens might have to sacrifice some spaces where the parents can drop off their children.
2. Even if we can widen the road, the cost to do it will not be cheap. There is the cost of widening the road, resurfacing, and building a proper guardhouse. These all cost money, and the only place where the money comes from is from the security collection. At the moment, with the current rate of collection, we are only barely able to sustain the security fee.
However we are not giving up on this project yet. We are constantly talking to MPSJ to settle the land ownership issue.
Good idea. Costly, but not impossibly so if everyone cooperate. The guard house and access card system at the entry to Alam Sanctuary is very good and I wish we have something similar.
ReplyDeletefor starting to generate the fund..every house to contribute RM100/house...that mean 278nos of house can collect RM27,800.00...hmmm seen good starting..i vote for my suggestion, others??
ReplyDeleteNot sure if someone will see this since it's not related to main post above. Today (16 Nov), there was a water disruption in our area. Many of my nearest neighbours and I myself were not informed beforehand by Syabas.
ReplyDeleteWhen I called up Puspel (Syabas), they informed me that a notice was posted in major newspapers. Most of us must have missed that.
They also advised the resident association to provide an e-mail to them so that a notification can be sent in the future. The e-mail should be sent to puspel@syabas.com.my which is also an e-mail available at the back of the water bill.
I'm not sure if we have a RA e-mail account, but this might be a good time to set it up. Otherwise, we can just give them all the residents' e-mail addresses so that everyone is informed. Thank you.
