Well, here is the suggestions:

Observations

The Star Online: Bus owner still unperturbed after 75 summonses

Sigh, despite creating parking space for heavy vehicles, they still refuse to park there and insist on creating congestion and unease in neighborhoods. The parking lot at TP2 is just less than 5mins away from his house in USJ12

Joining the Senior Citizens of Subang Jaya for Lunch

Last Sunday, 24th January, I joined the Senior Citizens Club of Subang Jaya for their luncheon even at Lakeview Club as a councillor of MPSJ as well as representing ADUN Subang Jaya YB Hannah Yeoh.

In my speech, I highlighted

Making roads safer - Junction of USJ11/6 & Persiaran Perpaduan

Last year, some residents of USJ11 highlighted the dangerous junction at USJ11/6 & Persiaran Perpaduan, where you can turn right coming out of USJ11 towards MPSJ's field. There has been a lot of accidents at that said junction, due to
  1. Illegal u-turns
  2. Right turns out of USJ11 towards MPSJ can't really see the fast on-coming traffic.


A site visit was done November last year with the 3 neighboring resident association, USJ5, USJ11/3 & USJ11/4 and the Jawatankuasa Penduduk Zon 3 representatives. During the discussion, it was agreed by all 3 RA that the right turn to come out of USJ11 towards MPSJ should be disallowed


Following that, this matter was brought to MPSJ's Infrastructure meeting in December, and a decision was made to close the right turn, allowing only turns into USJ11. Those from USJ11 who need to turn right towards MPSJ from USJ11/6 can consider turning left from USJ11/5 into Persiaran Bakti or u-turn at the traffic lights at Persiaran Tujuan.

The implementation was completed in January. However, there has been complaints that the road opening is too narrow.

Another site visit with MPSJ Engineering was done. The reason it is narrow, its because to prevent cars from USJ11 from turning right, as well as to prevent illegal u-turns. The standard for turning openings is 4.2m, and what's on site is at the narrowest point 4.5m, at other points 4.8m.

Gated & Guarded - Selangor State Guidelines

The Selangor state guidelines for gated & guarded (G&G), which is in force as of today (31Jan2010) was developed by Lembaga Perumahan & Hartanah Selangor (LPHS) in 2006 (yerp, under Khir Toyo's time).

Basically (this is for landed property)
85% approval for guarded schemes
100% approval for gated schemes (really, this is pretty impossible)
Any road barriers can only come down between 12pm to 6pm (which doesn't address the fact that most break-ins today happen during office hours of 9pm to 5pm)

This set of guidelines, while there & in place, is really not practical, and nearly all G&G would be rendered illegal and should be torn down.

Hence, there is a need for a new set of guidelines (either by LPHS or local councils) to replace this irrelevant one, well, unless the state decides that G&G is bad, and goes on a rampage and tears them all down.

Gated & Guarded

Before we go into specifics, it needs to be made clear that
1. What was presented during the JKP seminar was MPSJ's proposed guidelines, which has yet to receive endorsement from the state govt. The present guidelines in force is the one issued by the state govt in 2006.
2. All guidelines can be challenged in court, even those produced by the state and federal government and acts passed in parliament overrides guidelines whenever there's a conflict.
3. MPSJ embarked on creating guidelines to regulate G&G. There was a long debate, and MPSJ is not outlawing G&G simply because the police can't ensure security & even the police is endorsing G&G.

In this insecure times, we are taking a position to not stand in the way of neighborhoods taking security into their own hands, but aim to regulate it to minimize inconvenience to others, be it non-paying residents or outsiders.

Road Survival Skills - 1st Seminar

The first seminar will be on the 7th February (this coming Sunday) at MPSJ's auditorium. To register, you can email/sms Mr Looi Kok Kheong
