GREETING FROM CHAIRMAN

Dear Members and Residents,

The End of 2009 is in sight and we welcome the coming of 2010. As you all know we the RA of Puteri 7 had our ups and downs trying to implement the Gated and Guarded Project but in the end with the cooperation of "Most" of the Residents in Acacia Puteri 7 we were able to complete it without much interruption.

Now that the project is already completed it is imperative that we will be able to maintain what we all started and this is were we need the cooperation and understanding from the Residents/Members of Acacia Puteri 7. There is an old saying in Chinese proverb - "To start is Difficult but to maintain is even more difficult". But I am sure with the cooperation of all of you I am confident that Acacia Puteri 7 will be an example for all the other RA around our Puchong area.

To the new residents of Acacia Puteri 7, RA welcomes you and your family for choosing to stay in this area. We also hope that you will be able to help contribute towards the Safety of this place by subscribing to our Quarterly Security Fees which is about RM200.00 only.

For your information, since the implementation of the Gated And Guarded Project we have not had a single report on burglary, snatch thief incidents and robberries. In other words we have had ZERO-CRIME. Taking this opportunity we would also like to thank ASAS Security and their security personnel for doing a good job and hope they will be able to maintain the quality of Service - Always.

Further we would like to inform that RA have already contacted MPSJ to trim the trees with the overhanging branches along the corner house, and they have promised to carry out the job next year.

On another note, Please do not park your vehicle in front, beside (left & right) of the Security Barriers as this is a high traffic area and accidents may happen due to careless driving. "PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE".

Members are also advised to quickly change their old car stickers with the new ones as effective 1st January 2010 the Security personnel have been instructed to stop all cars with old stickers and keep reminding them to change to new car stickers. The new car stickers can be obtained from the RA committee members or give your car registration number to the Security Guards and we will do the necessary to get the New car stickers to you.

Lastly, our Newsletter will be published with only important notices and security fees updates. Residents are also encouraged to log on to our RA blog for the latest news and photo upload.

Finally the RA Committee would like to wish all the Residents and Members of Acacia Puteri 7, Merry X'mas and A Happy New Year!

Cheers,
David Yap
Chairman

亲爱的会员和居民们，

2009年既将来到尾声，2010年已近在眉睫，你是否己准备就绪迎接了呢？

众所周知，如果没有当初居协委员们的努力坚持和得到大部分居民们的踊跃捐献，就没有今天所成功实践的＜保安与围篱社区＞，希望大家要感恩及珍惜目前所拥有的安宁生活。

＜保安与围篱社区计划＞开始至今巳迈入一周年了，能否长久持续下去则要视全体居民的意愿和支持率而定。俗语说：＂万事起头难但要维持更难＂，但是居协坚信只要大家能同心协力及配合准时缴付保安费必能突破－切障碍和困难。居协委员的无私付出和牺牲时间也会是值得的，势必也能成为其他蒲种花园的典范。

对于刚搬进来的新住户们，居协在此说声欢迎你来到这个大家庭！感谢你和家人选择了这个方便安宁兼备的社区。我们衷心希望你能义不容辞的加入成为会员，并且与我们共同分担每四个月缴付一次的两百零吉保安费，以维持现有的居家安宁及高枕无忧的环境。

自从实施了保安与围篱社区计划，明显的我们已成功达零罪案的目标，这是非常可喜可贺的事。居协非常感谢ASAS保安公司和保安人员在这－年来的保安效力和合作，虽然当中还有－些不足和需要提升的地方，居协委员将会继续扮演监督的角色以确保他们在执行任务时刻保持最佳状态。

关于靠近角头屋的大树树枝延伸及树叶茂密垂下问题，居协已于十一月份向市议会作出投诉，当局巳派官员前来视察，并表示会在明年采取修剪清理的行动。

居协也再三促请居民勿将汽车或罗里停泊在位于7/4和7/5围篱大门旁，以防发生汽车碰撞或万一有紧急事故发生时，大开能顺利被打开。为了大家的安全起见，谢谢你的合作。

居协呼吁那些尚未更换新的会员汽车贴纸者请尽速行动，从明年一月一日开始居协将指示保安员拦查并提醒凡是车镜上还贴着旧汽车贴纸者。为了避免麻烦现在就向居协委员换取或将你的旧汽车贴纸交给保安人员，我们会尽快更换给你。

此外，时事通讯将只有在举办特别活动或特别通告时才会出版，居协鼓励大家无时无刻上网游览我们的部落格以获知最新资讯，会员人数，保安缴付费人数和活动相关照片。

最后，我代表全体居协委员们祝愿大家＂圣诞节和新年快乐＂，生活更美满！

7 YEARS OF HIGH CRIME TO ZERO CRIME 居協設圍籬社區拼治安‧愛家夏成功達到零罪案目標(星洲日報特別專訪)

Please click on http://mykampung.sinchew.com.my/node/71226
Acacia Puteri 7 RA's Special Interview by Sin Chew Daily
愛家夏居民協會特別專訪﹣星洲日報線上報導

Summary:
"Since 2002 Acacia Puteri 7 records a very high crime rate taking place almost every week such as house break-in, snatch thieves, motor vehicle pilferage and the like.

The residents could not enjoy peaceful sleep through the night attributing to such happenings despite having a police station in the vicinity and some having installed burglar alarms to protect their home. The situation was so bad that a number of residents sold their properties for the safety of their families.

With such adverse conditions facing our residents, we formed a Residents Association in organizing our premises into a gated and guarded community employing security guards and installing perimeter fencing to protect our premises against intruders coming into our area. We installed other surveillance gadgets such as CCTV, auto-gates, flood lights to enhance the safety of our environment. Consequently, as a result of such efforts being put in by our Resident Association, our premises which recorded one of the highest crime rate at Puchong for the last 7 years dropped to almost zero-crime rate immediately.

Last but not least, we wish to thank all residents for contributing security fees to our security service provider, making our premises a security tight place and thereby enable all our residents to live in a peaceful and harmonious environment."

RECYCLING CENTRE NOW OPEN AT PUTERI 7

It takes time to inculcate the idea of recycling in our community. For a start, we can spread the word to our neighbours, friends and relatives about the existence of 2 MPSJ recycling centres in Zone 16. One is located in Bandar Puteri 7 and the other in Taman Tasik Wawasan, Pusat Bandar Puchong.

Remember the 3 Rs - Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. There are so many things we can do to make 3 Rs a part of our lives. For instance, reuse your shopping bag, reduce paper usage and sort recyclable materials from other waste during disposal. More importantly, make it a point to send the recyclable materials like aluminium, plastic, glass and paper to the 2 MPSJ recycling centres.

Here is the picture of the Bandar Puteri 7 MPSJ recycling centre. It is located near the Bandar Puteri 7 police station and Sri Bergonia apartment.

LEBUH PUTERI TRAFFIC ISSUE - MEETING@MPSJ (13 FEB 2009)

This morning at an important meeting was held at 10:30am by councilor Tan Jo Hann with the MPSJ Engineering Department, Director Adnan B, Derahman, IOI Project Manager Mr Esmond, and his consultant engineer Mr Matthew Liew, and residents representatives Mr Jacky Teh of Acacia Puteri 7, Mr William Pang and Mr Stanley of Sri Camelia Apartments. It was to discuss the findings of the Traffic report from IOI with regards to the "dangerous junction" at the Columbia Asia Hospital in Bandar Puteri.

Over the past few months there has been numerous road accidents and injuries to persons, and the problematic road junction has been of serious concerns to the public and MPSJ. Since the roads in that vicinity is still under the responsibility of IOI, it was natural that they were taken to account to improve the situation at the junction.

Last December, there were already some steps taken namely, the low bushes at the road island had been cut to enable better road vision, the speed breakers on both sides of the road had been thickened to reduce speeding vehicles, and no u-turn signs put up at the junctions.

This morning the discussions resulted in the following:
(1) Explore the possibility of making road 4 humps (2 on each side of the 2 roads right before the junctions).
(2) Setting up 24 hours yellow alert lights (blinking) at the road side at the 2 junctions.
(3) Exploring adding more street lights at both junctions to brighten up the roads for better visibility at night.

These suggestions will of course be channeled to the MPSJ Infrastructure Committee for deliberations and approval. After which IOI will be obliged to fulfill these tasks. We thank the MPSJ Engineering Department for their diligence, prompt and efficient service, and also the cooperation of IOI in seeking an amicable solution to this issue.

CHAP GOH MEH CELEBRATION【元宵節慶團圓】

Date: 8th February 2009 (Sunday)
Venue: Playground at Acacia Puteri 7
Time: 8.00pm

The RA of Acacia Puteri 7 held its 1st community event ie. "Chap Goh Meh Celebration" and "Sharing Best Food & Win Contest" . Our RA Secretary, Jacky was the MC for the day in the absence of our Chairman who had a prior appointment.

We had 15 contestants taking part in the "Sharing Best Food & Win Contest". Among the food contested were jelly cake, dumplings, curry chicken, muruku, nasi lemak, fried chicken, fried meehoon, red bean soup, yam cake, layered cake, peanut porridge, jelly with santan, curry puffs, fish balls and sausages.

The contestants were judged through the Democratic process ie. polling by those residents who were present for this celebration. The Grand Prize winner was Mrs.Tai, whose fried chicken was very well received and the first dish to be completely "wiped" out. For her effort she received a Hamper and Angpow courtesy of the RA. The rest of the contestants received an Angpow each as a token of appreciation for their contribution to make this event successful.

Apart from the food and drinks, residents also brought along some CNY cookies, mandarin oranges, pomelos, beer, etc. to share at this gathering. During the celebration a few issues were also highlighted which includes the Fencing and Guardhouse Project, the contributions, Security fees collection, Dengue Fever and other minor issues.

The celebrations ended on a high note and some residents even suggested that the RA organise other events so as to foster good neighbourliness and friendship among the residents of Puteri 7. Frankly this celebration would not have been successful if not for the dedication of the RA Committee and the participation of the Residents living in Acacia Puteri 7, many thanks and wish everyone happiness and success for the Year 2009.
