BBRAeNews No.64 - The High Voltage Do's and Don't.

Dear Residents, today I would like to write to you about the Do's and Dont's with near high voltage power lines. This is to bring awareness to residents as the danger of high voltage is very real, and it is just outside our Botanical Garden.

-edited by Andrew Sum

Danger High-voltage direct current
A high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) system uses direct current for the bulk transmission of electrical power. For long-distance distribution, HVDC systems are less expensive and suffer lower electrical losses.
High Voltage – the do’s and don’t.
Be safe by learning how to live safely around power lines. Take a few moments to read this information—it could save you from serious injury, or even death.

Electricity naturally flows to the ground through anything that will conduct, or carry, current. The human body is a very good conductor of electricity. Your power company spends thousands of dollars each year to place high-voltage power lines out of normal reach and prevent people from coming into contact with them. But under certain conditions, power lines can still be dangerous. The following points will help keep you safe when you’re near power lines, or in the unlikely event you come into contact with them.

Climbing trees, poles, or steel towers can result in accidental contact with power lines and cause serious injury or death. The same hazard applies when you attempt to remove tree limbs from power lines. Do not attempt to remove the limbs yourself. Instead, call your power company; they’ll do it for you.

Uprooted trees and broken limbs sometimes push power lines within your reach. Do not touch these sagging wires. They are just as dangerous as a wire on the ground. Notify your power company if you see sagging power lines.

Never touch, kick, pull, or attempt to pick up a fallen wire. Even a telephone wire could be deadly if it’s tangled with a power line, even one located some distance away. Notify your power company and stand guard to keep others away until help arrives.

If your car comes into contact with a power line for any reason, try your best to drive away from the wire. If the car won’t move, stay inside and wait for help to arrive. However, if you are forced to abandon the car, first scan the ground for fallen wires, then jump clear. Never touch the car and the ground at the same time. Bystanders should stay clear of the car. If they touch the car, they could be injured or killed.

Use caution when enjoying recreational activities around power lines. Fly model planes and kites in open fields far away from power lines. Don’t try to retrieve a kite or plane that becomes entangled in the wires. When hunting with firearms near power lines, caution is also urged.

Sometimes it’s necessary to work outdoors near power lines. Before moving a metal ladder or scaffolding, be certain to check and see that it is clear of power lines. Never up-end any kind of pipe near a power line. Carry it on a level plane. Also, keep your eye on power lines when removing water pipes and well casings.

Equipment with booms—cranes, draglines, trucks—should never be placed where contact with a power line could be made on any part of the swing. If the boom touches a power line, a person standing on the ground who is touching any part of the equipment will be injured or killed.

Never install a TV or radio antenna within falling distance of a power line. If you have such an installation, move it to a safer location. Ask your power company for help. When moving a load or a building that is so high that it might not clear power lines, notify your power company.

Never attempt to provide clearance by raising wires by hand.
Exercise caution around power substations. A power substation is filled with high voltage equipment. It is extremely dangerous. Stay away!

Overall, respect electricity and never touch a power line. Never touch anything that is touching a power line. Memorize the safety facts included here. Teach them to your children. Electricity is meant to help, not hurt. And with your help, we’ll keep it that way.

DANGER, DANGER, DANGER.

-edited by Andrew Sum

Dear Residents, I have taken the above pictures to fore warn all residents of the imminent danger. Therefore, please be careful when approaching these power lines.

As the above TNB Signboards along the Bukit Tinggi-Bandar Botanic High Tension Electrical Power Cables shows, the High Tension cables carries electricity up to 33,000 Volts.

Another TNB signs also reads BAHAYA, TALIAN ELEKTRIK, VOLTAN TINGGI TNB, SEBARANG ACTIVITY TANPA KEBENARAN ADALAH TIDAK DIBENARKAN - Tenaga Nasional Berhad Malaysia.

BBRAeNews No.60 - Aedes Fumigation.

Dear residents,
Let me touch on the subject of Aedes Fumigation today.
-contributed by Patricia.
While it is a healthy practice to do some aedes fumigation of the Bandar Botanic residential areas, the residents themselves must be aware and able to differentiate whether the fumigation contractors are private and whether they are legitimate & bona fide ones from the Kerajaan Kesihatan. Those from the Kerajaan Pejabat Kesihatan are free and do not charge the residents a single cents. If you make a report to MPK's health department, they will sent their fumigation team to fumigate the area free of charge and before they do that they will also distribute you with MPK circular that they will be fumigating your area.

Recently some house residents and those renting the houses alleged claim that a private fumigating company told them that they are from the Kerajaan and were told to pay up $80.00 per fumigation per house. However if these residents are aware that these are genuine private companies and are willing to pay the $80.00 then it is a fair game. But you need not pay anything to them if they are from the Government.

BBRAeNews No.59 - A Resident's Correspondence.

Dear Residents, Yesterday I have received a correspondence from the president of BBRA Mr John Lim giving his view and opinion on the TNB Cows-Nursery Issue.

From: "John Lim" bfcklg@gmail.com

With regards to the TNB land between Bandar Botanic and Bukit Tinggi, a cow barn and a flora nursery have recently been set up. Star Metro (24 & 25 Feb.), reported that that the Klang Municipal Council is taking action against the cattle farmers. This is well and good since the cows have been allowed to roam freely for many years.My wish is to see no more cows roaming along the dual-link road linking Bandar Botanic and Bukit Tinggi. Residents from both sides of the housing estates have had to bear with the cows’ nuisance and the danger these cows pose to motorists. Now that the authority has assured us that they have captured and will continue to capture the cows and relocate them, we should be grateful that cow-free days are ahead of us. However, should the authority failed to capture the cows and there are cows still roaming along the road and housing estates, then why not keep the cows in the barn for now – at least for the safety of motorists and the cleanliness of the environment.Now, if the authority is taking action against the cow barn farmers then they should also take action against the flora nursery owner. It is also set-up on TNB land. And with cars and lorries frequently parked near its entrance, one half of the road is taken up and this obstruct the free flow of traffic. No business should be allowed to operate along a fast moving road. This, the Klang Municipalities Council is aware of and action must be taken against such operators.

So, I shall waiting to see the illegal fence fencing the cows and the nursery taken down very soon.

Council orders cattle owner to vacate TNB land.
By ELAN PERUMAL
elan@thestar.com.my
A CATTLE farmer who has set up a “farm’’ in a vacant piece of TNB land between Bandar Bukit Tinggi and Bandar Botanic in Klang will face action from the authority if he refused to move out of the area.
The warning came from the Klang Municipal Council, which had earlier this month conducted a series of inspections.
Council deputy president Mohd Jaid Ehsan said they had captured part of the cattle and more inspections would be held to clean up the area.
He said the captured cattle would be sent to the council’s Centre for Animal Collection located in Bandar Sultan Sulaiman in Port Klang.
“The Klang Land Office has issued the owner of the cattle notice to move out but the person has requested the authority for some time before moving out.
“We have identified three new areas for the cattle, but the owner has yet to respond,’ Mohd Jaid said.
The council’s public relations officer Norfiza Mahfiz confirmed that they had received numerous complaints from residents in the area.
“The owner of the cattle does not have approval to fence up the vacant land under the TNB high tension cables and turn it into a farm,’’ she said.
StarMetro on Monday reported that the residents of Bandar Bukit Tinggi and Bandar Botanic were puzzled over the presence of a corral between the two housing estates.
They supsected that a cowherd, who had in the past let the cattle to graze around the two housing estates, had recently built the enclosure.

BBRAeNews No.57 - Complaints on Kindergardens in housing areas.

To: MPK
MPK-Haslinda binti Mohd Rantam" , "MPK-Khairi" , "MPK-Tuan Mislan"

Aduan Berkenaan Aktiviti Kediaman Dijadikan Tadika
The Bandar Botanic Resident Association(BBRA) have had received a lot of complaints from residents on the illegal kindergardens being set up at Bandar Botanic, Jenaris Precint. Up till now, the BBRA does not know whether actions have been taken by the MPK to ask these kindergardens to close down or shift out to a different area away from the residential area. The residents are still getting more and more fed-up with cars after cars, coming and going, in morning and in the evening. Residents whose house are next door or near by cannot stand the noise and there is no peace at all. This Botanical Garden is suppose to be a peaceful heaven for folks who have invested a lot of their savings to buy a house expecting peace & serenity, pleasant to live in. But now the illegal kindergardens have turn their lives into havoc and disarray. They have no peace of mind. When they go out to work, leaving their grand mothers and grand fathers in the house, these old folks have no rests. How to retire their old age in a peaceful way? Again, when then return from work, they themselves also can find no rests. Bandar Botanic is not peaceful again as they use to be before they set ups of the illegal kindergardens. When will the authorities act? The illegal kindergardens stills functions as normal!!
Dear Residents,

It is not that the matter was not raise to the authorities. It was raise on 5th Feb and then 19th Feb. The complainant has also raise the issue directly to MPK and intend to bring the matter to the Ministry of Education. Good, at least we have one more proactive resident.

We all know the Government machinery, always very slow in reacting especially in such matters. We just have to be patience and continue sending repeated reminders and wait. Alternatively, we can create a protest and call in the Press to highlight the issue. This will attract better attention and faster reaction. Ben
2009/2/22 Resident

From A Resident:
I feel extremely disappointed that actions has not been taken by the authorities regarding the mushrooming kindis in our area. If this issue drags on with no outcome I will lodge a complain to the higher authorities and get it down to the media.

Let's be rational about this. We are the residents. We want peace and serenity with good neighbourhood, security and clean environment. If we are living in a condition that is expose to the outsiders then problems will start to set in. Like I said, now they may have 30 students, what will happen when they have maybe 60? Kindergartens operating without license are irresponsible people who do not even know the requirement. Standard requirement by the Ministry of education is not more than 15 to 18 students in one class ie. for K1 and K2 (age 6 and age 5). However, teacher ratio for Playhouse or nursery is 10-12 to one teacher. It means one school can cater for maximum 40-45 children. Kids needs space and because of business they pack in 25-30 kids in class. Did the authority check on this? It is getting very serious as the vehicles that comes in and out during peak hours is uncontrollable and the cars parked on the pavement where our poor grasses are being destroyed overtime.

My grievances if not heard will definitely reach the Ministry of Education Dept.

BBRAeNews No.56 - Request New Guard House for Phase 4.

To: TMO - Mr Peter Quah,

Re: CAN TMO SPONSOR A NEW SECURITY PONDOK FOR PHASE 4?
----------------------------------
The residents of Phase 4 would happily & kindly like to seek the Committee Member of Phase 4 BBRA to approach TMO to sponsor them with a new Guard Pondok. Can TMO sponsor and provide Phase 4 with a new pondok to be place 100-200 feet further inward,(as the present one is located at the corner of the road often obstructing traffic), and the present pondok can be dismantle and to be placed near the Lakes region for the security to use as a transit-stop in case of rain and for temporary rest.

It would be a good boost moral for TMO, BBRA & Security to have another pondok near the Lakes regions, for security reasons.
The residents of Phase 4 Jenaris would also be definately pleased and happy. With Gratitudes & Regards, Andrew Sum - Residents Jenaris Precint.

BBRAeNews No.54 - Land Encroachment at TNB High Tension Power Cable Towers.

Land Encroaching- Whose land does it belongs to, TNB, MPK or TMO?
-contributed by A Resident.
There is extensive encroachments of land between Bukit Tinggi and Bandar Botanic with 4 freshly fenced areas. One is a corral for the cows and one is for commercial cultivation of plant nurseries. The 2 others are yet unknown. Whether the settlers are given TOL (temporary occupation licenses) or not is unknown. As far as we know, the TNB ‘danger’ signboards are still there.
A reporter in the Star Metro, yesterday highlighted that some residents are shocked and complained that the cows are now systematically being housed in an enclosed area , creating a cattle farm which is an eyesore to the residents. Previously the poor cows walked from Bukit Tinggi 1 to Bukit Tinggi 2 and then to Bandar Botanic, obstructing traffic most of the time. Citizens and children are being frightened by the cows crossing the roads. However, it is hope that the cow herders should find a more permanent home for the cows in the country side rather than in a residential and commercial area.

Points which Star Metro, in yesterday's paper, did not bring out were:

1) The Star Metro did not point out 3 other fresh plots of extensive encroached land under the High Tension Power Cables as well as the other older encroachments on the other side opposite Phase 6 (Angsana). However, the older encroachments are being used for domestic purposes and not commercial.

2) The Star Metro also did not point out the land belongs to whom. From the TNB sign, it only says Danger High Voltage. However, I have found another sign board mentioning that the land belongs to TMO (Harun Intisari Sdn.Bhd).with the following words “KAWASAN PERSENDIRIAN DILARANG MASUK. PENCEROBOH AKAN DIDAKWA-HARUN INTISARI SDN BHD.

3) One of the fresh enclosures have a sign board for nusery which reads PROMOSI JUALAN PEMBUKAAN NURSERI, BANDAR BOTANIC.

Negative aspect:
1) As long as the land is approved & issued with TOL, it is their jurisdiction. The BBRA have no say. However, it is dangerous for plant nurseries to be set up under High Tension Power Cables lines and when the residents stop by there would be an obstruction of traffic with cars parking at the side of the roads not meant for parking. Will the Traffic Cops issue Summons then? Residents be aware.
2) The creation of a Cattle Farm. Residents what is your opinion?
3) The high tension power electrical cables are very dangerous and we would not encourage residents to go near the Power Cables Towers. Would you encourage your children to go near to these high tension power lines? What are your comments?

The following is an extract from Star Metro:

Klang folk puzzled by corral
Story and photo by ELAN PERUMAL

RESIDENTS of Bandar Bukit Tinggi and Bandar Botanic in Klang are puzzled over the presence of a corral between the two housing estates.
They suspect that a cowherd, who in the past had let the cattle graze around the two housing estates, had recently built the enclosure.
Some 50 heads of cattle have been penned near a roundabout between Bandar Botanic and Bandar Bukit Tinggi.
A section of the road reserve, which separates Bukit Tinggi and Taman Botanic, has been fenced up with wire fencing to accommodate the cows.
The presence of the cattle under the high tension cables and a stone’s throw from the Jusco Mall in Bukit Tinggi has many residents feeling uneasy.
Mystery: The corral is a stone’s throw from the Jusco Mall.
A check by StarMetro revealed that the fence had been covered with old planks, rusty zinc sheets and even banners.
A Bandar Botanic resident, who identified himself only as Lim, said he was shocked to spot the enclosure last week.
He said the cows used to feed in the open areas and parks in the housing estate previously.
“They were a nuisance and we often found them a threat when they roamed in large numbers.
“The cattle also often obstruct traffic and we have to be very careful, especially at night,” he said.
Ng Chin Peng, 45, from Bukit Tinggi, said it was unbelievable that a “cattle farm” was allowed in the area.
She noted that it was located between two of the town’s most popular townships.
“It is an eyesore and a real shame, especially as it is located so close to one of the country’s biggest shopping malls.”

I am one of those who pays for the security services and I reside in Phase 2. I was given a car sticker for the guards to identify me when I drive in at the check point at entrance. However, I noticed that the security guards at the gate is waving every vehicle in without stopping them to check irespective whether the vehicles have stickers or not.A resident at Kiara 9 have 5 small lorries and have his drivers park the lorries at along the junction in Kiara 9 and Rhu 2. MPK and JPJ officers have issued summons but that guy is adamant in parking his lorries and blocking our view despite several residents complaining directly to him. He will not move, may be after his lorries get burnt.The question upon Kawalan Sentral is why do your guards allow the lorries to daily enter a residential area? I am thinking about putting the RM40 to better use. LCL

Bukankah Taman tersebut dibawah jagaan MPK?

To Kawalan Keselamatan Sentral Security Guard, MPK, TMO and Residents,

“Let No One Say the past is dead, the Past is all about us and within. Let us rediscover that our strength lives in living our ideals, not talking about them.”-Barrack Obama.

Are We UnAware Of What Is Really Going On Around Us? If yes, we are, then we are really allowing dangers to lurks freely around us.
A Mummified Grass Cutter. Corpse-like, and all covered up. Is he a genuine or fake grass-cutter? Is he from the MPK? Is he from TMO? No one knows. The Kawalan Keselamatan Sentral Security guards must take down his Identity Card Number since he is in the Bandar Botanic. I happen to notice one such mummified grass cutter cycling from house to house from Angsana to Jenaris and Kiara and then cycle across the Botanic Lakes via the Bridge and Pathway and goes to the Southern side of the lake.

The first 2 photographs shows the mummified grass cutter in blue overall. The 3rd photograph probably show the genuine grass cutter employed by MPK. He is more 'open' and not fully covered up like the first grasscutter. He is also dressed in Orange, so that residents can easily identify him as genuine.

Dear residents, dont you think all outside workers should not be fully 'covered up - at least around the face ? ...This is an area with fresh air. Why must they covered up? ....Should the MPK gives each of their Grass-Cutters or workers a Name Card Tag? It would be proper don't you think so?

Kawalan Keselamatan Sentral Security Guards seen patrolling the lake walkway regions on their motorbikes. However, they are just seen on their rounds and do not seem to show any attention to outsiders on motorbikes at the walkways.

Still it is a good sign and they should increase their patrolling more often.
Perhaps they should get more residents to contribute to paying the monthly $40.00 and with then can afford to increase their staffs and to offer better service to the residents.


Residents, do you have your comments on the Kawalan Keselamatan Sentral Security guards. If you have log them into this Blog. I am sure their Managing Director Mr Vinutharajan, his assistant Mr Vira and Secretary Medam Malathi would be reading it and take note of any suggestions.

Arthritis Explained - Know Your Pain.
Posted by Dr Scott Goodman.
Arthritis is a disease of the musculoskeletal system and the damage to the joints can be bad as time goes by, accompanied by swelling and pain. Each bone is covered with a living tissue that covers the ends of the bones and guards them from rubbing against each other; this tissue is known as the Cartilage. Therefore, because of this, cartilage has the exact same needs as the other glands and organs; cartilage cells are referred to as chondrocytes. The chondrocytes die, they are replaced with new ones and the life cycle goes on.
When there is long time inflammation, cartilage cells are destroyed and die faster than the body’s ability to replace them. This is especially true if there has been an injury or there is not enough proper nutrients in the body to repair the joint. The condition causes damage where instability, deformities and joint weakness can obstruct daily life. Arthritis is normally treated with physical therapy, medication and includes changes to the person’s way of life or lifestyle. If an arthritis patient does not get any relief from medication and other forms of therapies then the last option they can resort to is joint replacement.
Arthritis is divided into two main categories, i.e. localized and generalized depending on areas affected. It is further subdivided into sub-categories. One of the sub-categories is localized conditions which only affect the soft tissue that surrounds the bones or joints, and is used to relate to conditions like tendonitis or bursitis. Another sub-category of the localized conditions only affects one or only a few joints, such as a knee or hip. One of the foremost sub-categories of generalized arthritis is a condition that affects muscle and soft tissue without swelling or inflammation. This condition does not indicate joint damage. A common type of arthritis in this category is fibromyalgia.
Another sub-category involves inflammation affecting the entire body. Rheumatoid arthritis, gout and psortiatis arthritis are examples of the next conditions in this subcategory. Some of the other generalized conditions are known to include: muscles or polymyositis, vasculitis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
An individual is capable of having more than just one arthritis type and it includes over one hundred different medical conditions that are known to affect roughly forty six million adults and three hundred thousand children within the United States. The condition is most common as osteoarthritis in adults age 60 and above but it can start as early as infancy. The number of people suffering out of this condition is increasing proportionally with the increasing average age of the American population. With old age setting in people suffering with arthritis is increasing day by day.
The prime cause of disability in the United States of America is caused because of arthritis; the American population spends over one hundred and twenty four billion dollars on medical care and other related expenses for treating arthritis. Individuals can help prevent osteoarthritis by following a few simple steps: Maintaining appropriate weight and consuming fresh fruits and vegetables as a good source of vitamins c and d. There should also be sufficient calcium intake, 1000-1500mg per day for adults. In addition regular, moderate exercise can help preventing sports injuries that can aggravate a condition.

BBRAeNews No.38 - BBRA's A Moment To Ponder.

A signboard placed by Majlis Perbandaran Klang.
BBRA’s A Moment to Ponder.
To Residents and Outsiders.

“Let No One Say the past is dead, the Past is all about us and within. Let us rediscover that our strength lives in living our ideals, not talking about them.” – Barrack Obama.
Are We Creating Out Own Dead lakes? Yes, we are, if we destroy the Ecological System in our Botanical Lakes.
The goal of this blog is also to bring Awareness to all residents of what is actually happening or had already happened. Some of the pictures may seems ruthless. But can each and everyone of us gives a Ponder of a Moment?

The sign put up by MPK shows clearly the do’s and don’t. But are the residents, especially Outsiders, following? Most Outsiders, it seems, throw cautions to the wind and couldn’t border even to read the signs. This is evident by the number of bear cans, rubbish that was thrown about especially after a Weekend and a public holiday. They even ride their motorcycles without helmets at breakneck speed oblivious of the many children and residents walking at the walkways.

Dear residents,
What is your opinion on these signs?
Does they serve any purpose?
Are they useful?
Are the MPK signs laws being enforced?
We don’t see any MPK enforcers around. Maybe they are shorthanded, maybe they are too busy or maybe they are also too scarce to enforce their own rules?
Maybe they come and go without our knowing?
Are all this true?
Do you have any comments or solutions to this lawlessness by the Outsiders?


(Please post your view into our Blog so that we may forward to the respective Authorities concern).
