According to Rajiv, the meeting which was attended by close 100 representatives of resident associations in the zone was organized to provide various resident association leaders an opportunity to meet with the office bearers in MPSJ.
“This is the first time we have held such a dinner get-together,” he said. “We have close to 40 resident associations within the area of Zone 3, including Rukun Tetangga and apartment management councils and we hope that with closer cooperation between the resident associations, we will be able to raise the living standards of our local community.”
There are approximately 100,000 residents in USJ2-USJ15.
Rajiv also took the opportunity to explain the work as a councillor, and how the JKP was set up. “We have set up 3 core focus areas for the JKP, namely, community integration, security and infrastructure maintenance,” he said.
“The role of the JKP is to act as an intermediary between the council and the people,” he added. “We are not seeking to compete with the various resident groups, but instead to work together hand in hand for the benefit of the people.”
Representative from each resident group gave a brief introduction of their association, their main goals, and also a wish list which they presented to the council. Among other suggestions included gated&guarded schemes, improving parks & street lights as well as suggesting that MPSJ start a auxilary police force.
