Playing Sherlock Holmes to find the Guard

Just before 4pm today, I was on my way back to my house when i noticed that the guard who was supposed to be sitting in the guardhouse, swatting furiously away, mosquitoes. I thought to myself, poor thing.

I was wrong. I went out again within minutes later but to my aghast, the guard was gone from the guardhouse. And here is how he left it. Door Wide Open (as oppose to Stanley Kubrick's Eye Wide Shut LOL).

And he left it that way for quite some time. The fan was on and he went to Pondok A (guardhouse at road1) to eat. I found him there and told him to go back to the Pondok B immediately. Whatever his breaktime is, i think that guardhouse should not be left unattended with door unlocked for at least 15mins.

This guard was on guard (sorry pun not intended) of me monitoring him bcos at about 11am, i got down from my car to remove the signboard he placed at the window of the guardhouse to block any view of him inside the guardhouse sleeping. The cheek of him!. I moved the signboard and he sat up straight.

Wakaf @ the Park

Dear folks of SS22A Damansara Jaya, MBPJ's contractors are building a Wakaf at our playground/ park area at Road 2/5. They have started laying the foundation today and i believe the dimensions for our Wakaf is the standard MBPJ's dimensions.

Thanks to MBPJ with some suggestions given by one of our residents (am not sure if he wants me to mention his name), the fund allocated to our area is used to build this Wakaf.

Though it is built for our use, let us be careful on vandalism if any that can arise. There will be school kids lounging it in. There will be passerbys, there will contract workers or labourers sleeping in it. Hopefully all will exercise their discretion with civic mindness.

Guardhouse at Road 4

With the nice burmese rosewood trees (i hope my classification of the trees is correct), this guardhouse look cosy. Guardhouse 2 is where the guards are suppose to sit during peakhours at daytime to monitor the traffic that comes in. At nite the boomgate at this Road is closed to minimise entrance into SS22A.

Guardhouse at Road 1

Our very own guardhouse at Road 1. This was completed before Christmas 2008. Thanks to all the residents who contributed to the construction of this guardhouse. At least our guards did not have to be sitting out in the rain and thunderstorms!!

Security Committee for SS22A

The Security Committee for SS22A was set up as sub-committee of DJROA to monitor the security services within SS22A.

A group of ss22A residents came together early 2008 and decided to make some changes to the the security services in the area and to reduce snatch thieves events, break-ins and other criminal incidents in ss22A.

A brief introduction of the Security Committee for ss22A members :

Mdm Yap Oi Fah
Mdm Low Ai Yun
Karen Loh
Jean Tan
Mdm Agnes Lee
Mdm Tan Chye Gay
Mdm Cheah Yoke Ling
Mr James Chen
Mr Ronald Ng
Mr Benny Ang
Mr Lew Yew Tang
Mr B Wong
Mr Ong See Lian

The Committee has had 17 meetings to iron out problems that occur within SS22A area that potential breach of security may occur. Since then the Committee has made efforts to change the methodology of the security guards patrolling schedules.

The Committee is appreciative of the support by the residents who donated generously to the construction of the guardhouses on Road 1 and Road 4. The fund donated was also sufficient to install an automatic barrier at Road 1 entrance into ss22A and a boomgate at Road 4 entrance. As there were more than 80% residents in support of the closure of the automatic barrier and boomgate from 745pm onwards to 730pm in the morning, the sense of security into our area is buffed up.

However, the Committee will remain vigilant and continues to look for methods that will ensure higher security in our area.
