Balai Polis in USJ8
makes way for Food Court

USJ23 Neighbourhood


	01/10/2004 - YB Dato' Lee Hwa Beng - ADUN Subang Jaya replies to our Chairman's letter to The Star. -----Original Message----- From: hwabeng1@streamyx [mailto:hwabeng1@streamyx.com] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 4:17 PM To: 'editor@thestar.com.my' Subject: Not another food court The Editor Letters to the Editor The Star Dear Sir, NOT ANOTHER FOOD COURT I refer to your letter on the above written by Mr Beh Yong Hock of USJ 23 on 1^st October 2004. Firstly, I would like to stress that MPSJ has not approved any food courts in the 3 places mentioned i.e. USJ 8 Police Reserve Land, USJ 11 and USJ 16 playgrounds. The contractor for the food court in USJ 8 started work without proper approval from MPSJ. That is why MPSJ on my request had issued a stop work order on 24^th September 2004. However, the contractor had ignored this notice and work still proceeded. In a MPSJ Full Council meeting held on 29th September 2004, the council agreed to issue a Demolishment Order. This reserve land belongs to the Police and the police department had leased this land to a private party to operate a food court. I agree that a food court is not suitable here. It is too near residential properties and a police station is more useful to residents here. Furthermore, it would be difficult to close down this centre with proposed 100 hawkers if ever there are funds to build a proper police station later on. The proposed hawker centres in USJ 11 and USJ 16 are still under consideration by MPSJ. These 2 pieces of lands are actually zoned on hawker centre reserves and the developer, Sime UEP Bhd had sold to a third party. When MPSJ received proposals to build by this party, MPSJ circulated a notice to all residents staying nearby. All residents had objected and MPSJ had decided to have a public hearing on their objections. The USJ 16 case was heard on 28^th September and the USJ 11 will be held on 5^th October 2004. If residents object to both projects, I shall convey their views to MPSJ and request them to turn down the projects. I hope residents should appreciate what MPSJ is doing. Thank you. Yours In Service, Lee Hwa Beng State Assemblyman for Subang Jaya



	29/09/2004 - Our Chairman writes to the media to highlight our feeling about the Food Court predicament going on in USJ. ----- Original Message ----- From: Beh To: metro@thestar.com.my Cc: usj23_commitee@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 12:46 PM Subject: MPSJ Enough is Enough MPSJ Enough is Enough Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ) seems to have habitually ignored the calls by PakLah that the public opinion must be taken into account before a project is approved by the Local Council. It is irony that MPSJ has demonstrated its great zeal and enthusiasm in approving not only 1 but 3 food courts in USJ 11, USJ 16 and recently USJ 8 (a piece of land earmarked for Police Station) in a span of only 3 months . What MPSJ has done is definitely a waste of public fund when in the first place, we the residents in USJ Subang Jaya do not require so many food courts. The piece of vacant land (approximately 4 acres in area) next to USJ 8 "Pondok Polis" has been earmarked and allocated by the Developer to build a Police Station. However, it is rather sad that MPSJ has conveniently allowed certain individuals/parties' to hijack the priceless piece of vacant land from the Public and allow them to build a food court. Any reasonable right thinking member/residents of USJ / Subang Jaya will definitely object to such an unreasonable move on the following grounds :- (1) There are approximately 270,000 USJ/Putra Heights/Alam Megah residents who are currently taken care by only 37 police personnel. . (2) This group of 37 police personnel are stationed at a teeny-sized "Pondok Police". while the national ratio of police to population ratio is 1/350, the ratio in USJ Subang Jaya/Putra Heights/Alam Megah is shocking and unbelievable at 1/7000. (3) As the status of USJ 8 Balai Polis is only a "Pondok Police", USJ 8 Balai polis do not have an investigation officer (IO, any resident who has lodged a report that requires further investigation would have to go to Shah Alam Police Station to lodge another report. (4) Due to the high crime rates (one of the highest in Malaysia) USJ Subang Jaya is in dire need of a reasonable full sized police station and the number of the police personnel should be increased to 400 or to the reasonable ratio of 1:700. (5) USJ Subang Jaya residents are definitely entitled to demand for a similar treatment in so far as community safety is concerned and it is timely a full sized police station be build immediately to cater for the booming USJ township in the next ten years. MPSJ should be aware that most of the USJ residents have resorted to employ security guards to patrol their residential areas. The money expended amounting to a few hundred thousand Ringgit in a year. MPSJ should have take steps to supplement the efforts taken by the Neighborhood Watches Groups and Residents Committees by ensuring the Police Station is built immediately without any further delay. Now it is also the right time for our ADUN's and MP's to perform and reciprocate the residents' support in the last General Election. If our MP's and ADUN's can not even protect a piece of vacant land earmarked for a Police Station, what else can we expect from them as Wakil Rakyat? Beh Yong Hock Chairman of USJ 23 Residents and Neighborhood Watch Committee



	24/09/2004 - It has been brought to our notice that the piece of land (approximate 4 acres) adjacent to the present Pondok Polis in USJ8 has been leased to a Food Court operator for a period of about 10 years. Residents in USJ have been asking for a full-fledged Station very since 1999, Neighbourhood Watches groups were set up to compliment the inadequate Police force in the hopes that a proper station will be built in a few years. In areas like USJ20, USJ23, USJ26 & USJ27 residents have even resorted to fencing up and employing 24 hour security guards to ensure safety for their families and properties. Did you know that the USJ8 station is considered only a Pondok Polis and is therefore not entitled to a proper patrol car? The only vehicle that they have is a Kancil that is used for administrative purposes. The Wira Police patrol cars that you see traveling in and around USJ and Putra Heights are all from the Balai Polis Shah Alam. Did you also know that because the station in USJ8 is considered a Pondok, it has no I/O (Investigative Officer). This will explain why they request that you make the report at the district stations if your "case" requires further investigation. Let's put this in it's proper prospective, the national ratio for Police/People is 1:350, it has been reported that the ratio for USJ/Putra Heights/Alam Megah and the surrounding area is approximately 1:7000. This is the single biggest contributing factor to the exceptionally high crime rate in the USJ area. We have all been waiting for 5 years, with this new development the Residents of USJ/Putra Heights/Alam Megah will not have a proper Police Station for the another 10 years. Is there a basis for our objection to the building of a Food Court in place of our Balai Polis in USJ8? If you feel that we have the right to object, start by sending the following SMS to our MP and ADUN to register our strong objection to the building of the Food Court SMS: We strongly object to Food Court in place of Balai Polis USJ8 Residents living in USJ23 to USJ27, including the whole of Putra Heights & Alam Megah MP for Kota Raja – YB S Vigneswaran a/l M. Sanasee Mobile Phone: +6019-3832281 ADUN for Sri Muda – YB Amzah bin Umar Mobile Phone: +6019-2151405 For residents living in other areas send your SMS message to the following: Residents living in USJ1 to USJ15 MP for Kelana Jaya – YB Loh Seng Kok Mobile Phone: +6012-2231121 ADUN for Subang Jaya – YB Dato’ Lee Hwa Beng Mobile Phone: +6012-2203600 Residents living in USJ16 to USJ22 MP for Puchong – YB Lau Yeng Peng Mobile Phone: +6012-2778808 ADUN for Kinrara – YB Dr Kow Cheong Wei Mobile Phone: +6012-2972198 Act now before it is too late.
