Please be informed that the implementation of Card Access system by the irresponsible RAs are unlawful/illegal as they do not have the consent of all the residents here.
(They need 100% consent from the residents before they can implement automated card access system as required by MPKlang ... and by the way this entire neighbourhood consisting of Sime Darby double-storey link houses is a Non-Strata development and therefore no gated community scheme can be implemented legally here.)
Many of the residents are fuming over the RAs' selfish agenda, causing lots of grievances and inconveniences to non-paying residents. If you are being stopped by the “guard” at the boom-gate from entering your own residence because you do not have their card access, this is what you should do:
1. Tell him you are a resident here, not a visitor – they have no right to ask for your details/register each time you are coming home. They have no right to stop you. Tell him you will have to make a police report if they don’t let you in.
2. Please make a police report at the nearest Balai Polis Bukit Raja Klang Utara (Tel: 03-3345 2222)
3. Either lodge in a public complaint (e-aduan) to MPKlang or do it at the MPKlang counter there. You can also e-mail your complaint directly to the President of MPKlang.. [yasid@mpklang.gov.my] and the Menteri Besar of Selangor.. [amirudinshari@selangor.gov.my]
4. Automatic Card Access System is already being prohibited by all the local councils (eg. MBSA, MBPJ, MPKlang) unless the Persatuan Penduduk (RA) has 100% consent from all the residents which they do not have. Not even close.
5. Do not be fooled by your RA into joining the above mentioned schemes blindly as this entire Sime Darby Bandar Bukit Raja is not under “Strata-Title Act” and is not a gazetted “Gated and Guarded” residential zone. The persatuan penduduk (RA) cannot force you to join their highly questionable scheme hiring their own “security services”. (Proper RA can only enforce it under Strata Title developments i.e: high-rise & certain exclusive neighbourhoods eg. Eco Ardence, Eco Park).
6. The RA committee members here have been taking advantage of, intimidating and bullying the residents for their selfish agenda and we cannot let this continue. They have broken all the guidelines, laws, rules and regulations set by the authorities (the Local Council and State Housing Board). The hiring of “security guards” here are also questionable as they do not have the proper uniform. It is very likely that they do not have the proper licence and other stringent requirements from the Ministry of Home Affairs such as undergoing background checks and urine tests by PDRM.
7. Most of the rules and regulations provided by the Ministry of Home Affairs on the hiring of security guards by the RA are NOT followed. (SYARAT-SYARAT LESEN DI BAWAH SEKSYEN 3 AKTA NO. 27/71 UNTUK MENGURUS AGENSI PERSENDIRIAN KAWALAN, Lampiran 1: Pengambilan Pekerja dan Pengawal) - Garis Panduan Perancangan ‘Gated Community and Guarded Neighbourhood’ yang diterbitkan di Malaysia Oleh Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa.
8. There were many reports from the newspapers that suggest that some residence associations (RA) are believed to be linked to syndicates. Providing "security services" seems to be very lucrative and easy money for these gangs. Residents were being coerced to set up RA to implement Guarded Neighbourhood (GN) scheme even before checking with the local police OCPD (PDRM) on whether their residence sits on a "high crime zone".
9. It's time to leave these security matters back to our PDRM as we do not trust any security guards nor any RA. Our neighbourhood security is beyond any RA, as it lies with the local, state & federal government levels. We hope that you would be better informed and would make the right decisions for all your neighbours. Right now the residents concerned have very little awareness or knowledge on this issue. Know your rights and the facts. We have to put a stop to this unscrupulous practice right now. There are many of us here that feel we have been “cheated”. In fact more and more residents are awaking up to this unscrupulous money-making scheme.
10. We also want the RoS to audit the accounts of RAs that take in cash payments every month as the amount paid by each household to their RA far exceed the assessment fees and quit rent payable to their local council! At a time when the government is trying to address the rising cost of living, we must also learn not to waste our money on such dodgy scheme. Say "TAK NAK" to “GnG” scheme! Get back your freedom before it’s too late!

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY AND SECURITY DEPENDS LARGELY ON YOUR SELF-AWARENESS AND PRACTICING ALL THE CRIME-PREVENTION TIPS FROM THE POLICE. YOU HAVE TO BE VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES NOT ONLY AT HOME BUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE.
USE THE ALARM SYSTEM PROVIDED BY SIME DARBY IN YOUR HOME. USE EXTRA PADLOCKS TOO. INSTALL GRILLS FOR BETTER PREVENTION AND WATCH OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER AS GOOD NEIGHBOURS!
DON'T LEAVE YOUR GATES AND DOORS OPENED UNATTENDED. BE ALERT OF YOUR SURROUNDING AND LOCK THE DOORS /WINDOWS AT ALL TIMES. THE SECURITY GUARDS SITTING AT THE AUTO GATE BOOTH WON'T BE ABLE TO DO MUCH FOR YOU.
IF WE ALL ARE SERIOUS ENOUGH, WE CAN ALWAYS RE-INTRODUCE FRIENDLY "COMMUNITY POLICING" PROGRAMS (RUKUN TETANGGA), WHEREBY RESIDENTS GET TOGETHER FOR "NIGHT WATCH" TOGETHER WITH THE LOCAL POLICE ON CERTAIN NIGHTS OF THE WEEK BESIDES BRIEFINGS FROM THEM. IN THIS WAY THE RESIDENTS CAN FORM HARMONIOUS RELATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER. THIS IS THE WAY TO GO, NOT THROUGH RA!
BE SMART RESIDENTS
