Chinese New Year Special Patrol

农历新年特别巡逻

Dear Fellow Residents Of Taman Mayang Jaya

亲爱的美阳再也花园居民

We will be having additional patrolling services ( 0700 to 1900 morning till evening ) from 21st January to 28th January 2012 ie during CNY. ( Note : This is in addition to the regular night patrol).

在 2010 年 1 月 21 日 至 1 月 28 日农历新年期间，我们将提供额外的巡逻服务（早上七时至晚上七时）。(注：这是原有夜间巡逻额外服务）

Please note that the Security Committee has taken into the consideration of the safety issue and we have deliberated / agreed that the closing time for all boom-gates will be earlier ie 10pm with the exception of SS 26/19 which will be closed at 10.30 pm. The closing of boom-gates will returned to normal ( mentioned above ) once the CNY period is over (21st to 28th Jan).

保安理事会也考虑到保安问题，因此我们也同意，除了SS26/19 路的保安栏杆将在晚上10时半关闭外，其他保安栏杆将提早在晚上10时关闭。这项措施只在农历新年期间实行。农历新年过后，一切恢复原状。

This special project is part of the TMJ Security Program and the success of it comes mainly from the efforts of the security committees and the contributions from the security members (RM5 which is a one-off payment).

这项特别的安排是美阳再也花园保安计划的其中一部分，也是保安理事会成员努力和保安计划会员积极参与的成果（一次性质的额外缴付RM5）

As for those that have not join this program and can afford, please do join, so that in future we will have more of this festive patrols or better still to have this daily 24 hour patrol as a permanent feature. But at the moment we needed more security members to make up the numbers so that it can be viable.

那些还未参与此项计划及有能力者，请加入此项计划，以便我们日后有能力提供更多的节日巡逻，甚至提供全日制24小时巡逻服务，不过我们需要更多的保安会员。

Also we wish to reiterate, the success of this program depended largely on your cooperation to pay on time.

与此同时，我们必须再次重申，此项计划的成功，有赖于您的合作及准时缴费。

We wish to say special thanks to the residents who had paid early or on time. To those who have forgotten to pay, kindly make payment immediately to your Road Reps as we needed adequate time to plan ahead.

我们也必须特别的感谢那些提前及准时缴费的会员。那些尚未缴费之会员，请即刻将会费交付于各区路代表。

Finally, the upgrading of safety measures in the recent introduction of CCTV, clearly signifies our efforts to continuously strive for excellence. This is our unceasing commitment, and a well deserved recognition of efforts made by the security committee in this direction.

最后，近来安装的闭路监视器是我们持续提升保安措施的一部分。这是保安理事会致力维护社区安全所做的努力和承诺。谢谢

Thank you

Adrain Tan Secretary TMJ Security Committee.

Worsening Congestion In Taman Mayang Jaya
By TAN KARR WEI

A FAR cry from the peaceful neighbourhood it used to be, living in Taman Mayang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, is becoming a hassle because of the worsening traffic congestion.

Residents fear that a new hawker centre built along SS26/9, on what was previously a buffer zone between the commercial and light industrial area, could add to their problems.

Resident Johnny Tong, 54, who has been staying in the area for over 20 years, said there was already lack of parking spaces at the commercial centre, which currently houses, among others, several coffee shops and two colleges.

“We were initially told by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) that there will be 56 stalls at the hawker centre with two seating areas. We protested against the development because it was being built on a buffer zone but they went ahead with it,” said Tong.

He said the hawker centre has been reduced to 36 stalls but a two-storey structure is still being constructed next to the hawker centre and residents have not been informed of the purpose of the structure.

“Right now, we have problems getting out of our houses because there are so many cars parked along the road,” he said.

Tong added that Taman Mayang Jaya residents have had to deal with congestion problems for several years because of a school in the area.

Thomas Koo and Simon Ang, who run a coffee shop and pharmacy respectively in the area, feared that the hawker centre would add to the congestion in the area.

“Right now, there is already lack of parking for our customers. To make matters worse, cars are double parked along the roads, making it hard for cars to pass through,” said Koo, who has been operating the coffee shop for almost 20 years.

When contacted, MBPJ councillor overseeing the Taman Mayang Jaya area Tiew Way Keng said the approval for the project was given at the end of 2007.

She said it was approved as a build-and-transfer project where the developer would determine and collect the rental for 15 years with a renewal option of five years.

“Residents were against the project so we have had several rounds of discussions with them. The number of stalls have been reduced to accommodate the residents’ requests. Besides, the food court was originally built to house the illegal hawkers and there were only about 20 that were operating on the buffer zone.

“The developer will be required to upgrade the road and paint back the parking lots after they have completed but we are asking them to do it as soon as they can to address the lack of parking space,” explained Tiew.

She said they were also looking into converting the traffic system into a one-way flow, as agreed by the residents.

The issue will be brought up during the council’s traffic sub-comittee meeting this month.

A spokesperson for the company developing the food court said the congestion in the area has been bad before the food court was built, but mostly only during the lunch hours from noon to 2pm.

“We are catering mostly to the working crowd and residents in this area,” he said.

He confirmed there would be a restaurant and retail outlets at the two-storey structure and that the road around the area would be converted to a one-way flow.

“We will be upgrading the roads and painting the parking bays. Customers who come to the restaurant at night can park at the light industrial area on the other side of our building. The area is empty at night and we have installed lights to make it safer for people,” he said

On security matter noticed Taman Megah has blocked half the road in front of the Chinese school. Can they do that?

Wednesday, December 7, 2011 3:50 PM
Was at road 9 padang yesterday and noticed that it is a disgrace. Dirty and badly maintained. The committee members have regular meetings at the clubhouse. Do not the committee members noticed the bad condition?

Was at Megah padang this morning and noticed someone cleaning the padang. There is a regular worker cleaning but who pays for this? MPBA or Tamera? Noticed that Tamera has also put up warnings against disposing rubbish at the roadside

Road 16 padang is not too bad because a few residents have been doing the cleaning on their own. However we need a regular cleaner to improve the cleanliness.

Hope the committee will look into this. Since sending this mail one month ago nothing has been done.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011 4:27 PM 
I exercise at both Taman Mayang Jaya Road 16 and the Megah padang. I notice frequent cleaning of the Megah padang but I rarely see people cleaning up the Road 16 Taman Mayang Jaya. Can we have more frequent cleaning up of the padang? Recectly soemone cut the tress branches and school children on holidays are dirtying the padang.

SO Goon

Monkey Capture Story

Wild Male monkey terrorizing Mayang Jaya folks finally captured!

Today, on the 21st September 2011, the male monkey or as I would like to refer him as Papa monkey, has finally met its fate.

At about 8am I saw him over at the top roof of my rear neighbour's house. I immediately set the trap using my daughter’s room to capture the monkeys. The monkeys has been frequent guest of my daughters room, hence, it wasn't quite difficult to ensnare the monkeys.

At about 9 am Papa monkey sneak in the room to eat a banana sitting very near the window sensing it maybe a trap. He surveyed my daughter’s room quickly and left. Later, at about 9.30 am, he came back again to check the room, in fact handling the rope I have used to tie to the window's handle. He felt a bit uncomfortable and left in a jiffy.

Ten minutes later, baby monkey was wondering just outside the window ledge. Somehow, Mama monkey must have warned him and he left as well.

I was feeling a bit disappointed and I was thinking maybe the monkeys are very smart after all and today may not be the day. I left the trap for about 15 minutes and I was alerted by my maid that the monkeys have returned. I quickly went back to my daughter’s room to execute the snare.

Somehow, this time the Papa monkey climbed into the room quite confidently and without hesitation walked on a table towards the bananas i placed away from the window.

As he was about to reach for the bananas I pulled the rope which was attached to the window handle and ramped it shut. He is caught and has no way to escape. I immediately shut the room door and got my maid to fetch a trap I purposely constructed for the monkeys. I moved it delicately into the room hoping the monkey would walk into the trap cage. He was too smart for his own good instead he ran into the toilet and tried to open the windows but to no avail.

I decided to call Jabatan Perhilitan and I was told their officers were in fact in Mayang Jaya to attend to complains by residents about the nuisance the monkeys have been causing in the community. They arrived immediately and Encik Hamzah appeared at my door less than 5 minutes after my phone call. He brought an assistant who carried a pole with a loop and Encik Hamzah was carrying a rifle.

They immediately proceeded to my daughter's room upstairs. I asked if they were going to capture the monkey alive. They took a look at the monkey and said it would be difficult as it is a 'jantan kera' or male monkey and it is pretty big and dangerous. I then asked Encik Hamzah if his rifle shoots tranquilizers. He said no, it is actually a rifle with live bullets and he is going to shoot the monkey. I said it is your call you are supposed to be the experts.

In less than 10 minutes he fired his shot and hit the monkey right between the eyes. I asked why didn't you shoot him in the body, he said he was afraid the bullet may penetrate the body and hit and damaged my toilet tiles.

Letter From Resident 2

Dear TMJRA,

I am a resident of SS24 and I use the recreation park in Taman Mayang Jaya where your Balai is situated frequently for my daily morning exercise.

On morning of 11 July, I observed some contract workers cutting and pruning the trees in the park. In doing so, the contractor drove a heavy lorry INTO the park to remove the cut branches. The heavy lorry was driven over the concrete foot path at many locations causing the concrete to disintegrate.

I returned to the park on the morning of 13 July and noticed more damaged caused by the lorry:

- broken concrete foot paths caused by lorry driven across the paths.

- deep long depressions caused by lorry tyres going over soft ground.

- sunken children playground floor caused by lorry driven over the playground floor.

Regards,

Yoong CN
