Dear YB,

Last year because of the nation wide increase in crime & hue & cry from the people of Malaysia, the Federal government has allocated funds to the police to increase their presence among the people by setting up police stations in selected housing estates. The police have announced they will be renting shoplots & houses for their personnel to work & stay at the respective housing estates. This is a very good idea whereby the police can interact with the residents closely almost 24 hours.

I am a resident of Bandar Sri Damansara for the past 15 years. The Developer Bandar Sri Damansara Berhad has allocated a piece of land along Persiaran Dagang ever since this township was developed for the purpose of building a police station. But unfortunately this allocated piece of land was not use to build a police station in spite many appeals to the proper authorities (including the Police) concerned by the Resident Association of this township. Presently this piece of land is occupied by a private hawker center.

What have the residents done to have their houses robbed at night & in broad daylight, getting attacked by snatch thieves, cars stolen right in front of their houses, carjacked in their house compound not once but twice by the same robbers & many other related criminal offences. And now we have to set up our own security committees to employ private guards to guard our families & houses day & night. What irony!

Please use your good office to address the situation.

Thank You Very Much For Your Cooperation.

Thank You
