BBRAeNEWS No.404 - Security Dialog among Kiara residents by BBRA

Sharing with you The Minutes of The Security Dialog among Kiara residents organised by BBRA(in briefs).

On 28th August,2011 (Sunday), BBRA organised a Security dialogue among Kiara residents at the Multipurpose Hall of TMO at 3pm. The agenda of the dialogue was - "To collectively discuss and agree on the options for crime prevention based on the recent house break-ins in Kiara and Bandar Botanic as a whole."
At the dialogue, BBRA committee member Mr Melvin took charge and there was a good response among Kiara residents. Many took the oportunity to air their opinions, especially from the crime victims.
BBRA Jacob Thomas arranged mineral waters and collect subscription dues. BBRA Kalai arrange the sound system. Other committee members from other phases were also present.

Measures discussed by Mr Melvn and the residents together were Night patrolling, car stickers, fixing back lane with grill gate, boom gate,use emergency numbers to report crime, switch on back lane light at night, use photo sensor for auto switch off in day tme, clear letterbox always, ask paper vendor to leave newspapers in letter box, activate alarm when you suspect/hear strange voices especially at night, etc.

One important issue discussed was the importance of increasing the membership of BBRA basing on the principle of "UNITY IS STRENGTH".

Unless and until the residents united and work collectively for their own security around, nobody else is able to help us out. We, the BBRA therefore seeks the residents to change that impression, by giving their co-operations and joining the BBRA, to show that ‘UNITY IS STRENGTH”.

The reason is in the past BBRA with the help of a BBRA Security Sub-Commuttee Group has finalised a security contract for security provider, but was temporary put on hold because the BBRA have only a total of 450+ members, where the actual residents in BB are more than 3000. Unless and until the residents united and work collectively for their own security around, nobody else is able to help us out. We, the BBRA seeks the residents to change that impression, by joining the BBRA.
