KLANG MP Charles Santiago and Pandamaran state assemblyman Ronnie Liu are not
aware of the proposed RM9mil Pandamaran Square at the Pandamaran Sports Complex,
off Persiaran Raja Muda Musa in Port Klang.
On Monday, Klang Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Teh Kim Poo highlighted the
exorbitant cost involved in the project and the destruction of the green lung.
Yesterday, Teh urged the Selangor government to scrap the development and instead
upgrade the swimming pool and football field with a reasonable budget.
“If the Klang Municipal Council and the state can do it with a reasonable budget
then it must brief the people before going ahead with the upgrading work,”
he said.

Santiago expressed surprise as being the MP he was not informed about the project
that would include an “Extreme Park” and a fast food outlet.
“We have to keep the trees that line the field and improve or add public
amenities like toilets that are disabled-friendly,” he said.
Santiago was perturbed that there was no public briefing on the project.
“MPK must get feedback from the local residents and those outside of Klang.
We have people from Shah Alam coming to use the field,” he said.

He added that the Pandamaran Sports Complex was the only vast green area that was
available for the people to gather apart from Padang Sultan Suleiman in
Klang town to hold sports activities, exercise or just take an evening stroll.

“MPK councillors cannot just push the project through. If the council does not
hold a meeting with the residents to inform them on the Pandamaran Square,
I will organise a public hearing,” he said.
Santiago said the Pandamaran Sports Complex allowed teenagers to enjoy a game of
football or fly a kite and this had helped in a big way to curb social problems.
Liu said he disgreed with any attempt to destroy the green lung.
“I have just approved an allocation to beautify the surroundings with the
construction of two gazebos and a highmast lighting for security purposes,”
he said.
He added that he, too, loved to take a evening stroll in the field and it had
helped him overcome stress in an urban township like Port Klang.

Condo Residents in a Fix

South City Condominium owners are left in a lurch when they discovered that the management office has been closed since Aug 1.

They are worried that they would have no one to refer to for their complaints.

The South City Condominium consists of 961 units from two apartment blocks and one condominium block. Owners are required to pay a maintenance fee of between RM90 and RM200 per month.

...the main water pipe had burst recently and water had been gushing out.

...who is going to solve this issue? We can't turn off the water supply as it will affect all the condo residents. I don't know what to do...

Joint Management Body (JMB) chairman had resigned recently.

"I have sent in my resignation letter to the committee on July 30 since there are other capable people tho wish to take up the post."

The residents showed letters from the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) in reply to their complaint about the AGM.

The Council requested the JMB to provide the AGM minutes and an explanation as well as relevant documents.

... the council ordered the committee to set a date for the EGM, in accordance to sub-section 10(2)(b), Building and Common Property (maintence and management) 2007 (Act 663).

"I hope that there will be governing bodies to oversee such cases to protect the rights of owners."

We Must Help Fight Crime

With the launching of the month-long national crime prevention compaign by the Prime Minister, the Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation calls on all Malaysians to be part of the campaign and help convey its message

"Prevent Crime, Get Involved, We Can Do It Together"

to as may fellow Malaysians as possible as crime prevention is a collective responsibility.

Crime and Criminal activities have been a matter of grave concern to all Malaysians. There have been strong public comments that we have not done enough to fight crime. As the largest NGO involved in crime prevention, the MCPF shares the sentiments that have been expressed by several quarters.

Over the years, we have organised various crime prevention campaigns. Beginning from this year, we decided to organise a month-long nationwide crime prevention drive involving our branches in various states to reinforce public awareness on the need to act together to fight crime.

What is significant about this effort is that besides organising and implementing crime prevention awareness activities on a month-long basis, we have sought partnership with the relevant ministries, government departments and agencies, local authorities, private sector as well as various NGOs committed towards crime prevention.

More than million pamphlets in four languages on ways to prevent various types of crimes focusing on personal safety, home and office security, crime prevention for women, teens and schoolchildren as well as the disabled, including safety advice, are being made available throughout the campaign period.

This year's campaign is held in conjunction with the Merdeka month celebration. Malaysians achieved "Merdeka" and became free from colonisation. However, we are still not free from crime and the fear of crime.

The objective of our compaign is to free Malaysians from crime and criminal activities which is by no means an easy task.

What MCPF hopes to see is for all Malaysians to adopt zero tolerance towards crime, to develop an anti-crime culture and make crime prevention a way of life.

The best crime-prevention strategy and programme will not succeed if the public do not remain vigilant. We must help fight crime and by taking the following simple steps we can help make a difference.

Among the measures for implementation are:

• Be aware that crime prevention is everybody's business

• Alert the police immediately upon discovering a crime

• Do respond to a crime victim's call for help. Who knows you may in turn need somebody's assistance one day when you are a victim of crime

However, one must constantly be on the alert so that we do not be easy targets for criminals. We do not provide opportunities for crime to happen.

It is important that one must also form a smart partnership with your local police station, NGOs and your neighbours to promote crime prevention and help eradicate crime.
