TBMRA has prepared a memorandum to appeal to the government to consider reverting the nature of our title deed from presently leasehold to freehold status.

We therefore were excited by the news that the DPM, YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin shall come to the Taman.

With some assistance from Datuk Kamaruddin (the man in white jacket between the DPM and our chairman) Mr Ng managed to have a short chat with the DPM before handed him the memo.

火车站到马鲁里花园的有盖人行道
事情经过
2010 八月	居协向吉隆坡市政局申请建立两条有盖人行道,  连接火车站和帝沙广场的巴士站为乘客提供便利
2010 九月	居协也同时向铁道局作同一申请, 不过得不到他们的考虑
	不过居协趁机提出人行道缺乏基本安全措施 (例如草丛,灯光和视线受阻)
2011 六月	吉隆坡市政局只能 建我们所申请的部份有盖人行道
	完全建立所申请的有盖人行道受到政府经费和沟渠排水法令限制 。那两间角头屋中间实在是大沟渠, 有法令限制建立永久建筑物
以上资询是由马鲁里居民协会所提供

Residents Feedback - General

In early April 2011, DBKL held a seminar for all registered residents associations in Kuala Lumpur City for dissemination of few important policies of the government.

As a follow-up we invited YB Lim Lip Eng (Segambut MP), Segambut Area Manager of DBKL, and our counterparts in Tmn Manjalara and Sunway SPK to discuss the DBKL Budget 2011 with the view of developing within the residents associations some form of mechanism to gather residents feedback and submit them to DBKL for inclusion into the city budgetary planning in future.

Consistent with the RA Objectives, we now create a few postings to gather residents feedback, it would be ideal that this blog could manage to pull together all sorts of views, demands, criticisms, compliments and most of all suggestions how to make Tmn Bkt Maluri a better place to live.

For that purpose we shall list down some of the city's budgetary headings for residents reference when making suggestions

FOGGING AT 4AM ???

We have a very unusual phenomenon happening in Sintar area this Tuesday morning, fogging at 4 am in the morning. It is easily recognisable because of the noise it makes.

A resident felt very uneasy about it not just because of the wee hour but more importantly whilst the motor pump was heard there was no smell of mosquito spray nor was any white fog seen.

That being the case we complained to DBKL Hotline, a day later their Jabatan Kesihatan phoned back to confirm it was NOT an approved practice and got reason to believe the culprits may be up to no good, and recommended that we apprehend them. We politely pointed to that En Harun we cannot do so.
As a matter of fact the Sintar Security Unit has alerted the police specifically and requested for immediate assistance (to question them) should they try again whether or not it's daytime or night time

Calling Dog Owners

We have received a lot of complaints about dog shits; it is disclosed that some of the places the situation have become so bad that it is no longer possible to walk there without dirtying the shoes, or  drive there without running over the poops, and worst of all bring the shit right back to the car porch.

It is also a common knowledge that dogs because of its instinct go back to the same spot to defecate but it is indeed the dog owners who choose not to do the clean-up are THE BIGGEST CULPRITS.

Whilst we obviously respect residents' rights to keep pets, to keep their house compound clean but we also expect those residents to respect others' desire to have their surroundings clean so that their children can freely walk around, or drive up to their own porch without worrying about dog shit on the tyres.

We therefore appeal to dog owners to scoop the dogs' poops. 

INCREASED FEES BY SECURITY GUARDS COMPANY

Blog by Sintar Residents Association 

Members would have by now read in the newspaper about the final approval (by the Cabinet) for guards companies to increase the wages of their guards. In order these companies could do so they would have to charge their customers (like us) more. What was apparently omitted in the newspapers is that aspect of gross-up of the guards’ wages by as high as 30% to cover the companies’ management expense; this really means we the customers are NOT only paying the guards higher wages but much more to the management and shareholders of the guards companies.

Using the latest quotation of our existing guards company, they are asking for RM2,017.39 for each guard (an increase of RM326.47 (19%) from what we are now paying, i.e. RM1,690.92). In anticipation of this sharp increase we had resorted to various means to protest, but unfortunately of little or no impact at all.

However our members have in the Special Members’ Dialogue on 2^nd January 2011 voted to exercise our rights as consumers and mandated the Pro-tem Committee the followings:-

1. As the strongest possible protest we would suspend security patrol service temporarily; (see below for the IMPORTANT date)

2. In resuming the security patrol service we might be compelled to engage lesser guards in accordance to our financial capability and also review their duty & responsibility accordingly;

3. To explore closer co-operation with neighbouring residential sectors to save cost (or share the burden of the increase).

Please note 6 of the 8 residential sectors in Tmn Bkt Maluri had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to take the same stand, so we do not need to feel unduly uncomfortable that we are the only affected area.

The Special Members’ Dialogue also decided not to increase at this stage the member fees (which had not been revised for 6 years now) but would appeal to members to influence their neighbours to join in the patrol scheme so that we could still continue the scheme in longer term.

In view of impending Chinese New Year, your Pro-tem Committee has decided to suspend security patrol service for one week from 15^th February; after that if the guard company is still not prepared to reduce their quote we shall engage 6 or 7 guards (as compared to 9 now).

During the period of suspension, members are advised to be more vigilant and report any suspicious characters to the police, in any event members are welcome to provide feedback using the complaint forms available at the guard houses. We will keep members posted in our blog tbmra2010.blogspot.com .

ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED IS VERY MUCH REGRETTED ALTHOUGH THE PRO-TEM COMMITTEE IS SATISFIED THAT WE HAD TRIED OUR LEVEL BEST TO RESIST THE UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICE.

POLICE DIALOGUE

We are are pleased to advise that the next Police Dialogue is as follows:-

Date / Time:- 25^th September 2010 (Saturday) 8.00pm

Place:- Dewan Persatuan Penduduk (Jln Brg Kasawari)

We encourage all residents to join the Dialogue to know more about what are some recent changes in the Balai Polis Kepong, what is happening in Tmn Bkt Maluri and how all these shall impact our daily lives.

Better still if you have any issues, any suggestions or any personal experience which you would like to raise with the police so that they serve to contribute / improve the overall safety, security & well-being of the township, then come to the Dialogue speak your mind.

As a suggestion your issues should be related to crime situation, public area’s safety, neighbourhood issue or even personal experience with the police. 

Look forward to seeing more residents in the Dialogue.

REQUEST FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A COVERED WALKWAY

When we got to know that covered walkways and connectivity of different modes of transport are parts of the DBKL 2020 Master Plan, we took the initiative to write to DBKL for the construction of a covered walkway from the Kepong railway station for commuters from Tmn Bkt Maluri.

Initial response from DBKL was that whilst they could consider the construction of a covered walkway on that plot of land belonging to DBKL, but for meaningful connectivity we are required to submit a separate application to KTM for their approval to construct another covered walkway in that part of the private land belonging to KTM to provide the necessary connectivity.

When writing to KTM we may bring the attention to the poor maintenance of the existing walkway so much so the thick undergrowth, poor lightings, non-existent drainage has made the use of the pathway uncomfortable and unsafe.

The reason for this circular is to keep residents around Jalan Garuda or daily commuters informed of the plans pursued by the Residents Association and to seek your understanding that not only this application might take a while to materialize and but more importantly when construction work were to start there shall be some inconvenience to the commuters and the residents nearby.

Lastly if you have any comment, feedback to this proposal, please feel free to email us at tbmra2010@gmail.com or blog to us .
