Speed humps & Speed breakers

Please note that on main roads (i.e. roads starting with Persiaran), MPSJ have a policy on not installing spead bumps. Speed breakers (the yellow lines) can be installed, but lately, this seems to be of no effect in slowing down cars, but a great effect in annoying the houses nearby due to the load noise when cars speed thru it.

As for speed humps in residential roads, MPSJ limits to building them on roads which are
1) next to playground
2) places of worship
3) kindergarden/day care center
4) roads that are shortcuts between 2 main roads (e.g. USJ11/5)

If the residents would like to request speed bumps, please write in to MPSJ with the signatures of all the houses in the road.

Whale of a time for families at USJ Family Day

IT WAS an evening filled with camaderie, fun and family togetherness at the USJ Family Day organised by the JKP Zone 3 of the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) last Saturday.

Residents from USJ 2 to USJ 15 had turned up for the family day held at the MPSJ sports complex. Braving a light shower earlier on, the residents came out in droves. A long queue was spotted at the registration booth where the first 500 to register were given goodie bags.

Under white canopies were stalls offering a range of products and services.

There were the food and drinks operators, telecommunication companies, non-governmental organisations as well as small home businesses selling accessories and clothes, among others.

Not a deterrent: A big crowd at the event despite a drizzle.

MPSJ councillor for JKP Zone 3 Rajiv Rishyakaran said there were 88 stalls altogether where 16 of them were “Go Green” booths and the remaining selling various merchandise and F&B.

The Go Green booths, he said, were made up of vendors selling organic and green products and crafts or even recyclable items.

“Home businesses were charged a fee of RM50 per booth while the professional companies were charged RM100.

“The money collected is channelled into our JKP funding to offset our cost and expenses in organising this family day,” said Rajiv.

The event had something for everyone. Young children were having a ball of time playing inside the inflatable castle as parents watched over them. There were telematches, football clinic and demonstrations by the firemen and the police.

The marketplace stalls was also a hive of activity as crowds gathered to buy food and shop for merchandise, while other operators were demonstrating their products.

Fun time: Children and their parents taking part in a host of games.

But the ultimate highlight of the evening was the hot air balloon, where all 100 tickets were sold out. They were sold at RM15 for adults and RM10 for children.

The activity was not only a hit with children but adults too as they gathered around the balloon as soon as it was being inflated.

Rajiv said the windy weather had forced them to stop the hot air balloon activity a little earlier than schduled.

“We wished we could have been able to accommodate more people seeing such overwhelming response,” he said.

Lucky draw were also conducted throughout the event from 6.30pm to 10pm. Stage performances kept the crowd entertained while others kept themselves busy at health screening, pets adoption and exhibition corner.

Rajiv said there were two highlights for him personally for this event.

“Firstly, we managed to pull this off with the help of 100 volunteers from the different resident associations and apartment management corporations. Our JKP with only 16 members could not have done it alone.

“Secondly, what motivated us was seeing how much fun the crowd had,” said Rajiv, adding that this is one of the biggest JKP events organised.

Each of the 24 JKP zones under MPSJ receives RM27,000 a year to carry out activities and community events.

Rajiv said the family day also received corporate sponsorship amounting to RM28,000 and another RM10,000 contribution from Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh’s office. Yeoh was not present as she is still on maternity leave.

The crowd turnout this time around is over 5,000 people surpassing last year’s count of 3,000.

The family day was officially launched by Selangor state executive councillor Teresa Kok.

Voluntary patrol unit officially registered with ROS

Congratulations to Mak and the VPU team. Hope this step forward will open up new doors for sponsorship, funding and volunteer ownership in the organization.

The VPU will still continue to be supported by JKP Zon 3 and MPSJ

Voluntary patrol unit officially registered with ROS


THE VOLUNTARY Patrol Unit (VPU) of Subang Jaya and USJ has been approved by the Registrar of Societies in February 2011, and is now officially registered as the Subang Jaya Voluntary Society (SJVS).

The VPU is a community patrol unit made up of Subang Jaya and USJ residents in an effort to deter crime in their neighbourhoods.

The patrols, which have been conducted since Jan 11, 2010, are carried out with the assistance of the police and Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ).

The VPU is also supported by the MPSJ’s JKP Zone 3.

At the recently concluded annual general meeting, 28 existing and new VPU members signed up to continue patrolling the residential areas of Subang Jaya and USJ.

The VPU patrols are carried out in three shifts from 9am to 5pm, Mondays to Fridays.

USJ 11 resident Mak Meng Chin, who initiated the VPU with MPSJ councillor R. Rajiv, said: “Almost any adult can be part of this joint patrol.

“Working adults can volunteer just two hours of their time each month. We also welcome retirees.

“Besides helping to serve as a crime deterrent measure, the patrolling offers an opportunity for volunteers to meet new friends and contribute to the community,” said Mak.

“It is safe to patrol as we patrol in a car. The police personnel who jointly patrol with the volunteers will call for back up should the VPU come across anything suspicious.”

According to him, registration to join the SJVS is RM13 for the first year - with RM1 for initial registration, and RM12 annual fee.
