JALAN TERASEK 2 SECURITY SCHEME

Dear Residents,

The idea of having a security scheme in Jalan Terasek 2 was discussed by a few concerned residents who then formed an interim committee to spearhead the scheme. The committee which included Mr.Pereira, Gary Soong, Tan Cheng Kiat Dr Brahma and Mr.Salvinder Singh, set about to communicate with the other residents and with some security providing companies. With confidence gained from the support shown by many of the residents, it was decided that, for a start, Jalan Terasek 2 will have its own security scheme. A meeting with the residents was convened at 10.00am on 21^st April at Jalan Terasek 7. About 40 residents participated. Many questions were raised and Mr.Brian Raj, representing Sri Lara Security, was present to provide some answers and  explain how the system works. At the end of the session residents representing 30 houses signed up as members for the security scheme. Many others also showed their interest to subscribe to the scheme.

For a start, it was agreed that the service would begin on 1^st May with one guard. The preferred service hours would be for 12 hours from 7.00pm to 7.00am daily. As more members begin to subscribe to the scheme, then another guard would be employed to cover the day shift as well. With 142 houses in Jalan Terasek 2, it is the hope of the committee that that more will subscribe to the scheme for the benefit of all concerned. The monthly subscription is RM 70.00 and is paid quarterly to facilitate the payment of the guard’s salary and allowances.

The exact location where the guards will be station will be fanilized by this week. A canopy will be provided temporarily until a proper cabin is sourced. He will do hourly patrols along the road from one end to the other. He will be equipped with a torchlight and a truncheon and do clocking at designated points. The clocking records will be periodically scrutinized by the security committee.

It is the ardent hope of the committee that residents will give their full support and cooperation towards the successful implementation of the Jalan Terasek 2 Security Scheme so that their enclave is safe from untoward incidents. Residents can contact the members listed below for further information and membership forms.
