Security Alert

Please be advised there are incidents where contractors from MBPJ asking residents to open their gates in the pretext to check for mosquitos and then asking for RM100 to do fogging. Some of the contractors were asking irrelevant and suspicious questions like the residents whereabouts during CNY and etc. SUAC have instructed our guards to lead them out of the Taman since they are soliciting funds to do this service. SUAC advise everyone not to let anyone to come in to the house to check for mosquito unless they are in MBPJ uniform and present MBPJ letter showing proof of checking. We have the right not to let unknown personnel to go into our house.

Although we can’t stop MBPJ contractors from coming in to do their respective job but everyone of us will have to be extra careful especially with the festive season coming. SUAC will enforce more stringent measures for the contractors coming into our Taman.  If anyone spotted any suspicious character loitering in our Taman, please call out guard HOTLINE 24 hours @ 0122385508.

SUAC SECURITY ALERT

Please be advised that there has been a significant increase in the number of suspicious cars entering our taman. They provide our sentry, at post 1, with fake addresses and proceed to drive around the taman. Upon realizing that they are being tailed by the patrolling guards, they quickly exit the taman. One highly suspicious vehicle which has entered our taman is a taxi with 2 men passengers (heavily tattooed). The license plate of this taxi is HB 6643.

When their numerous entry attempts to the taman failed, they waited outside post 1. They then followed one of our residents to Giza, the Strand and back. This alert resident spotted this taxi following him and reported the incident to the police and SUAC. SUAC then checked the log book and determined that this taxi has been entering our taman for purposes other than visiting friends or family. Their intent is not clear but it can’t be good.

Residents are advised to take necessary precautions. Should you spot this taxi in our taman, kindly advise the guards. If you feel that you are being followed, kindly drive to the nearest police station. Better safe than sorry!

SAFETY TIPS FOR OUR RESIDENTS

Although home burglaries may seem random in occurrence, they actually involve a selection process. The burglar's selection process is simple. Choose an unoccupied home with the easiest access, the greatest amount of cover, and with the best escape routes. What follows is a list of suggestions to minimize your risk by making your home unattractive to potential burglars.

The first step is to harden the target or make your home more difficult to enter. Remember, the burglar will simply bypass your home if it requires too much effort or requires more skill and tools than they possess.

1)    Most burglars enter via the front or back doors. The front door supplied by the developer is less than ideal from a security point of view. Residents are advised to either replace their front doors with a solid core or metal door for all entry points or reinforce the existing doors. Reinforcement of existing doors can be done through the installation of high quality deadbolts that extend into the ground.

2)    Good neighbors should look out for each other. Get to know your neighbors on each side of your home and the three directly across the street. Invite them into your home, communicate often, and establish trust. Good neighbors will watch out for your home when you are away, if you ask them. They can report suspicious activity to the guards or to you while you are away.

3)    Interior lighting is necessary to show signs of life and activity inside a residence at night. A darken home night-after-night sends the message to burglars that you are away on a trip. Light timers are inexpensive and can be found everywhere. They should be used on a daily basis, not just when you’re away. In this way you set up a routine that your neighbors can observe and will allow them to become suspicious when your normally lighted home becomes dark. Typically, you want to use light-timers near the front and back windows with the curtains closed. The pattern of lights turning on and off should simulate actual occupancy. It’s also comforting not to have to enter a dark residence when you return home. The same light timers can be used to turn on radios or television sets to further enhance the illusion of occupancy. Exterior lighting is just as important. It allows our guards to better monitor your residence.

4)    Alarm systems definitely have a place in a home security plan and are effective, if used properly. Alarms are a huge deterrent and given that our guards are on constant patrol, they are in a position to respond quickly in case an alarm is triggered. If you have a system that notifies you of a trigger via your mobile, do call the guards to conduct a check.

5)    Report any suspicious and unusual activity to the guards or police immediately. Lately, some heavily tinted cars have been prowling our neighborhood probably conducting reconnaissance for their next victim. These cars have been identified as late model Toyota Harrier and Vios and Honda CRV.

6)    Get a safe deposit box as opposed to a home safe. Recent burglaries in our community have seen entire home safes being removed.
