MESSAGE DATED FEB 3, 2010

From The Chairman
Since our first newsletter in August 2009, the Security Committee under the chairmanship of Mr. Chong Poh Seng have worked tirelessly to overcome many difficulties in providing the security for Taman Tasek residents. Although this security scheme is not perfect, and can still be improved, it is not disputed that they do give a sense of security, allowing us to sleep more peacefully. Gone are the days where any unknown motorbikes or cars can “conduct” survey or surveillance at will in our housing estate . I am glad to say that so far since the implementation of this scheme, there had not been any break-in or robbery.

With effect from 1st Feb 2010 , the side lanes between the rows of shophouses at Jalan Glasiar will be closed from 10 pm to 6 am with metal gates. Please use the road between Hah Motor and KK Restaurant which will be manned by a security guard. Further, during Chinese New Year period , from 14 Feb to 21st Feb, there will 24-hour patrol . Currently the hourly patrol is already on-going. For traders at Jalan Glasiar/ Lembah, please give your contact number to the security firm at hotline at 012- 7785052 for emergency purpose. Our ultimate goal is that in the future there will be only one entrance at Jalan Lembah or Jalan Tasek and every subscribing resident will be given touch card for entry/exit. Vehicles without touch card will have to go through the security guard for clearance. So far 263 or 57 % households have subscribed to the scheme, and we urge those who have not to do so. According to Infinity Secure, once we reach a target of 350 subscribers ( including shophouses) there will be enough funds for them to provide 24-hour security.

Recently, the tall trees along Jalan Tasek have been trimmed and a new post office mailbox was relocated to the recreation area. Many streets have been resurfaced. The road in front of George & Dragon will be made one way in the other direction. The committee has written to MPJB to complain on the vector building at the recreation park as it is an eyesore and, worse, has encroached on the skating ring. Many red palm trees have been killed by reckless burning. We have also complained on the standard of maintenance of the playground. The grass is long, the swing broken, and rain clogged. Ah Long posters have been reduced. As for the new interchange by IRDA , unfortunately the plan shows that there was no provision for a U-turn for Taman Tasek residents.

Let us all do our part to make Taman Tasek a pleasant residential estate for us to live, play and enjoy.

Wishing You A Happy And Prosperous New Year.
