A broken spirit
And a contrite heart
You will not despise
You will not despise
You desire truth
In the inward parts
A broken spirit
And a contrite heart
Lord, my heart is prone to wander
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart
Lord, take it and seal it
Seal it for Your courts above

Residents want additional cops, police station
Assistant Commissioner Arjunaidi Mohamed (right) and Ravindran Raman Kutty during a dialogue session held at Sri Damansara Club. — Picture by Supian AhmadPETALING JAYA: Bandar Sri Damansara needs another police station and more policemen to patrol the streets.
The two police stations, one in Jalan Angsana and the other in Persiaran Margosa, have inadequate staff as they only have two policemen on duty at any one time.
The residents claimed that having only two policemen on duty was insufficient to record reports and also go for their rounds.
Bandar Sri Damansara Residents' Association (BSDRA) is also requesting for an additional Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) unit.
It is understood that a piece of land has been allocated for a police station in the area. However, there seems to be a dispute concerning the land.
The BSDRA wants the police to look into the land issue and resolve the matter soon with the land office so that the construction of the police station could begin.
Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Arjunaidi Mohamed agreed to look into the issues during a dialogue session held recently at the Sri Damansara Club.
Arjunaidi said he would work with the land office and the developer to expedite the construction of a police station on the 1.6ha plot of land in Jalan Dayang.
On the gated security system in housing areas, Arjunaidi said the system had helped to curb crime.
He attributed the success partly to the pro-active approach and participation of the residents.
"The gated community system in many townships has proven to be a success in securing the safety of residents.
"The crime rate, in housing areas with gated security, has seen a sharp drop," said BSDRA president Ravindran Raman Kutty.
"Although it is a success, we hope the authorities will study the need for a standard and legalised gated community system for all housing areas.
"It is about time the government looked into it seriously and make it easier for Resident Associations to implement and participate such a system," he said. -- By Kalavaani Karupiah

Sri Damansara illegal stalls to be relocated
Sri Damansara illegal stalls to be relocated
> Hawkers’ activity poses danger to school children, causes congestion
by Meena L. Ramadas
BANDAR Sri Damansara residents are discomforted by the increasing number of illegal hawkers at Persiaran Meranti just outside SRK Bandar Sri Damasara.
In addition to poor sanitation and hygiene, the stalls are also the cause of traffic congestion along the stretch, which in turn endangers the lives of students of schools in the vicinity, especially during peak periods when school sessions start and end.
Bandar Sri Damansara Residents Association secretary Karen Sharma told theSun the hawkers’ activity has caused increasing congestion at the junction of Persiaran Meranti and several accidents have occurred.
She said the high traffic volume and congestion puts school children in danger as many who live in the neighbourhood walk and cycle to and from school,” she said.
Karen said there are no pathways or sidewalks for the children and to top it off, there are the illegal hawkers who are running their stalls on the fringes of the road.
She said the hawkers, who have been running their businesses for five years, do not have running water. “We also suspect that they are tapping their electricity supply from lamp posts along the road.
“We have complained several times to the Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (MBPJ) but so far, nothing has been done to solve the matter,” Karen said.
She said the council’s enforcement officers had broken down the illegal hawker stands seven years ago but the new illegal stalls started sprouting up again two years later.
Karen said the council had offered the hawkers a food court and hawker centre in Sri Damansara 2 but the hawkers declined to move there, citing high rental fees as a problem. “They say they are poor and they have children to feed,” she said.
MBPJ councillor for Bandar Sri Damansara Chan Chee Kong said the council has identified and proposed a plot of land at Persiaran Perdana to relocate the hawkers to and is working to get the necessary approvals.
“The land was allocated to the Selangor Islamic Council (Mais) but according to the land office, the land does not belong to Mais yet,” he said adding that the land still belongs to the state government.
However, Chan said MBPJ has contacted the religious council to get approval to use the land to which they can relocate the illegal hawkers to.
“They (the hawkers) are okay with it,” he said adding that the council met with the hawkers and they agreed to move to the proposed land and even pay rental.
“They did not want to shift to the empty lots in the hawker centre that the council offered because of the location which will affect their business,” he said.
Chan said the council has a difficult task of consolidating enforcement and human compassion when it comes to dealing with illegal hawkers.
“They tell us they are poor and they have families, we cannot just get rid of them, it is more complicated than that,” he said.

Residents give thumbs-up for gated community scheme
By S. KOMALADEVI
metro@thestar.com.my
THE Bandar Sri Damansara Residents Association is in support of the gated community scheme and urges the authorities to have it legalised.
In a dialogue with Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed, those present agreed that the scheme had helped reduce crime in the area. However, they were not comfortable with the integrity of security guards.
They also urged the police to expedite the setting up of a new police station in the housing estate, as well as to strengthen the manpower at the two existing stations there.
“Crime has dropped significantly after we subscribed to the scheme, and the police have also played a major role,” said president Ravindran Raman Kutty.
He said the association spent RM600,000 last year on security fees.
“Does the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) think we are doing something wrong by putting extra money and putting the residents’ committee under extra duress?
“If the local authorities and police work closely with the RA, I am sure we can reduce the money and use the money for something else,” added Ravindran.
Resident Lau Seng Lee said the gated and guarded community was a necessity, adding that even developers think of security before building properties.
“The police and local authority should gazette Bandar Sri Damansara as a gated and guarded community and get all to pay for it.
“Rules need to be changed according to time,” said Lau, adding that the police could also help with the training of security guards.
Former residents’ association president Chin Choong Nam commended the residents association for its efforts in keeping the community safe but expressed disappointment that a number of residents had snubbed them.
“Residents should unite and appreciate the association’s efforts by encouraging and supporting them,” he said.

“Residents should unite and appreciate the association’s efforts by encouraging and supporting them,” he said.
Making a point: A resident airing his views at the dialogue session.Arjunaidi brought the residents some cheer by saying that police were only waiting for the issuance of title for the land near Persiaran Dagang that has been gazetted for a police station.
“Once the title is secured, we will apply for allocations to build the police station but we will only know after the next Malaysia Plan is made. So, I cannot tell you now when we will have the police station,” he said.
He explained that the community police station would be limited to provide better services, but all other bigger tasks would be handled by the Sungai Buloh police station.
However, he said there was a high possibility that the community police station would be gazetted as a full-fledged establishment in the near future.
Arjunaidi said the police districts would also be restructured to enhance their services, the Petaling Jaya police districts would eventually cover only areas that fell under the jurisdiction of MBPJ while areas under Shah Alam City Council would come under the Sungai Buloh police district.
Arjunaidi also thanked residents for their initiatives in helping to curb crime, adding that crime prevention through environmental design was an effective and proactive measure adopted by many developed countries.
“My team is often sent out to study the whole of Petaling Jaya to come out with recommendations on how to make the city safer, such as by improving streetlighting and walkway design,” he said.
He advised the residents to be cautious in selecting security firms, adding that the police could not vet or train the guards because it was under the purview of the Home Ministry.
