Dear Residents of BASRA
The Guards' Supervisor has informed us that there was a break-in early this afternoon at LBH4.
It is very disappointing but we have to keep vigilant. This could be because of the school holidays where it is a window of opportunity when there is no one at home. We have also been advised that there are many crime modus operadi for instance 2 or 3 people in the vehicle on the pretext of responding to repairs or female foreigners on the pretext of buying or renting houses.
As per our schedule, today we will be installing the watchman's keys around BASRA. This is to step up the patrolling inspite of the guarded posts at the main entrance. We do need to be on the look out for any suspicious looking characters.
We have made several attempts to block the entrances at JBH3 and Athinahapan 1 (near the reservoir) and have been unsuccessful. We are reviewing the plans and making arrangements with the security provider to deploy guards at these 2 roads.
Again for everyone's knowledge, the police has advised us against enforcing visitors to register at the guard posts. Even this morning, I received a call from one of the committee members at Jln Datuk Sulaiman (JDS) where they have started to stop visitors and again there has been a complaint lodged at Bukit Aman and again JDS have been asked to relax the rule again.
We are constantly having dialogues with TTDI Police and they are assisting and working closely with us.
Dear neighbours, it is not true that TTDI is crime free. It has been happening especially in the last 12-18 months except that we can eradicate the problems by coming together and sign up for the Guarded Scheme. Please take the first step and encourage your neighbours as well.
We have invited the OCS for a dialogue this Saturday 12 December 2009, 4.00pm at the open space franked by Jln Athinahapan 5, 6 & 7. Please do join us.
Thank you.
