It was indeed a horrifying experience for our guards. Crime is on the rise in Kota Damansara. Some guards in Section 6 have been spotted arming themselves with parangs. New gangs have penetrated Kota Damansara. The stories of happenings at other tamans in KD are just as horrifying, if not more. Why do we have to live in fear? Where are the authorities? Where do we turn for help?
SUAC’s immediate plan:
1) Post 2 will be manned by 2 guards instead of one.
2) Sirens will be installed at both guard houses.
3) Our guards have been advised not to fight these criminals. Should such criminals attempt to enter our taman again (we know they will), guards have been told to allow them entry. Guards have been briefed on our new emergency protocol (EP). The EP will be activated only when our “guarded” members or their property are deemed to be at risk or in danger.
4) “Guarded” members are rest assured that SUAC has your interest at heart. Our guards have been briefed thoroughly on maintaining your security.
OCPD ACP Arjunaidi is now aware of the matter. This is not the first time that Seri Utama has been under attack. There have been numerous incidents that have been horrifying. We put this one video on our blog as we were able to capture the entire footage from our CCTV. SUAC is in a dilemma; should we highlight the numerous incidents or not? We don’t wish to scare our residents on one hand but the reality must also be highlighted.
SUAC is now hoping to arrange for a meeting with OCPD ACP Arjunaidi and also PEMANDU. If we are able to arrange for such a meeting, SUAC will like to highlight the dangers we face day in and day out and also put forth the many ideas that we have.
So far, residents of Phase 2 & 3 have been safe. Our guards are doing a fantastic job. Unfortunately, we also face the problem with numerous residents who have stopped paying citing that the security is so good that they feel that they can stop paying. This results in strains on our monthly budget. If this continues, SUAC may have to stop our current system and resort to the old system with half the number of guards. The decision lies with you, our residents.
