Message from SRA President On Yahoo Newsgroup Nov 13
Dear SRA members and non-members who are also on this Newsgroup,
Many people have advised me not to be distracted by the loud and sometimes rude comments on this newsgroup but I cannot "tahan" anymore, so I may be rambling a bit but I want to have my say on all these nonsense that is going on. So please bear with me.
Many of us have expressed our thoughts about the green Seputeh we once knew. Having lived here for 39 years myself, I have very similar views.
But the insinuation that the elected committee of SRA is behind the new development or that it has the sanction of the present committee is uncalled for.
For those of us who would bother to recall, these are not projects that have occurred only after the new committee has taken over. Even if they have, it doesn’t take a lot to understand the long approval process and the gestation period required before they can take off.
These projects, even if they have recently started, got their approval much earlier, long before the current committee stepped in to work when the previous committee voluntarily stepped down in Dec 2008. Why the previous committee had not been able to stop them or even talk about them baffles me, with all their DBKL connections, hard talk and self-proclaimed prowess.
Let me reiterate that new tall high density buildings you see on your way up the hill didn’t come about without the previous SRA committee’s knowing.
Requests for minutes of meetings involving the previous SRA Committee were denied. These meetings cover a variety of matters with the authorities and stands taken by the SRA on development projects, correspondences and details of deliberations of the previous committee. Precious time was lost trying to piece together the puzzle. Even minutes of SRA Committee meetings were not handed to us. How can that be considered confidential?
Now individuals are demanding answers, suggesting collaboration with developers on high density development, discrediting and finding fault in everything the current committee seeks to do, when all that was said in the newsletter was that the SRA may not be able to stop the onslaught (just like the previous committee was not able to stop the tall high density buildings mushrooming around us).
This present committee is doing everything we can to engage with the authorities and the developers, when given any opportunity to do so. The goal is to ensure the social impact to the community, strained traffic, and all our common concerns are formally communicated.
The committee does not wish to be embroiled in open baseless debate in a public forum, which is both divisive and counter productive. That is not to say that people can simply accuse and discredit anyone.
There are those who want more clarification on the security scheme before they sign up. That is perfectly valid and the security sub-committee has repeatedly, and in good faith, dealt with these enquiries as best they can. There would always be some who will opt out or disagree. This is perfectly acceptable, as the scheme is voluntary and each individual is entitled to his/her opinion. But opinion alone does not help fight crime.
The committee, together with those who have signed up must not gripe over this. The silent majority, who are quietly footing the bill and have said little, have done it for sake of neighbourhood solidarity and security.
Maybe my mistake is to have an open and transparent style. The security committee has opened itself to scrutiny before, during and right up to the last-minute of the scheme’s launch. Let us ask long-time residents if the previous SRA Committee had ever opened its books and documents to such a level of scrutiny. Yet, we are still open to inputs even from detractors.
For all of you who have dug deep into your pockets to want to make this work, thank you. My wish is that we continue to improve upon any shortcomings as we go along and with more houses signing up, perhaps we could even address some of your concerns to up the level of service and perhaps more guards.
We are especially touched by those who struggle to make ends meet and yet dug deeper to demonstrate their commitment. I respect you sincerely in living your values, and honouring what you agreed when we did the dipstick. It is for residents like you that we find additional satisfaction in serving.
Yet, there those who have no plans to contribute, demand to verify and scrutinise a lot of documents and sought clarification beyond reasonable means, are provided those but are now doing everything to scuttle the scheme. Perhaps these people have lost the plot and instead of fighting crime, they are hell bent on fighting their neighbours. Remember, I too am a retiree with no active income but I am prepared to fork out what it takes to help enhance security.
The issue of addressing collective views and concerns on high density development in the area will perhaps be put into a formal referendum. We can act in greater unison and with greater effect, if we act rationally and in good faith. Suggesting developer collaboration from hearsay or selective interpretation of a factual statement in the newsletter can turn ugly and will do nothing towards bringing about an otherwise powerful united voice.
There is no need to slander or insinuate collaboration when you cannot cough up the proof. The SRA Committee owes its duty to the majority who have voted for them and they are the reason why many in the committee are plodding on. My suggestion is that those who are disgruntled with the efforts of the current committee to again stand for election and let Seputeh decide.
If I do not reply to your responses, it is because I do not believe prolonging this public debate is being productive. If any SRA member has anything to say to the Committee, they can either drop us a note at our SRA letter box at 2, Jalan Teluk Pulai or via email to SRA@seputeh.org.my or to email addresses listed on the committee blog at http://sracommittee.blogspot.com.
Of course, there will still be those who want to continue to comment, rave and rant because they need an audience and this public newsgroup is giving them this audience. Thankfully, this group is not the majority but they are loud.
We are encouraged there are many others who want to contribute and help defend the sanctuary that we have in Seputeh and these people have quietly given their inputs. We salute those who are willing to contribute as we need all the help we can get.
As someone who is old enough to be a father to most of these detractors, I say it is now time for all Seputeh to stand together and put aside petty differences, emotions and disagreement. The SRA Committee that I lead is prepared to do that and we hope all others will, as well.
Regards,
Robert Quah

Meet Shift Supervisors Syahrul and Mohd Salih
Dear SRA Security Scheme subscribers,
Thank you for your support in making our first-ever Seputeh Security Scheme a success.
Here are pictures and names of the two shift supervisors and six guards who are serving our neighbourhood.
The supervisors are Mohamed Salih bin Mohamed Jalali (in blue) and Syahrul Amri bin Khusaini (in green). They will be the ones who will respond to any call on our Security Hotline 016-2131778. Mohamed Salih prefers to be just called "Mat" while his colleague usually goes by his first name "Syahrul".
The other pictures to be posted here separately are of security guards under their supervision. They are all Nepalis.
Let us make them feel comfortable and welcomed as they work to serve us. A friendly wave goes a long way towards making them feel appreciated.
If there are shortcomings, please note down time and describe what the shortcoming is and email it to seputehresidentsassociation@gmail.com or you may post a comment on this blog with the relevant details.
If it is urgent, you may also immediately call the supervisor at the hotline number.
Best regards,
SRA Security Committee

016-2131778 SRA Security Hotline Number
Dear Seputeh Residents & Business Operators,
We are happy to announce that, with the support of many amongst you, the SRA Security Committee (SSC) has been able to roll out the security scheme tonight.
The hotline for the scheme is also activated immediately. It is 016-2131778. This phone will be held by the shift supervisor and it is supposed to work 24x7 -- that means it should be on all the time.
SRA committee members and volunteers will continue to meet residents and business operators to invite those who have yet to subscriber to do so. We wish to cover all and to embrace all.
If you have queries or doubts or even if you have heard any whispers anywhere, please feel free to email any committee member listed on the left side of this blog.
To subscribers, please extend your co-operation to the personnel installing Force One Security plaques on your front gate.
For now, we are starting off with just a table and umbrella while awaiting the process of getting cabins and boom gates in place. Please bear with this temporary situation.
What is important is that we target to start on Nov 1 and with all your support, we managed to do so.
At this simple roll-out of security patrols and checkpoints, SRA President Robert Quah gave a short speech where he thanked all subscribers for their support and reaffirmed that Brickfields police would continue their daily patrols and the SRA security patrols would augment security.
In fact, Robert addressed the small crowd through the police patrol car's hailer and this shows the close co-operation that SRA has with the police force.
For those who have yet to sign up, we request you do so to help enhance security. You may drop your form with your cheque at the SRA box at 2, Jalan Teluk Pulai (the provision shop) or contact the volunteer whose name is on the cover letter.
Best regards,
SRA Security Committee

Lorry Caught Dumping
Dear SRA Members,
Seputeh residents have shown that we have good community spirit. For that, I am happy and proud of the neighbourliness shown.
Here are pictures of a lorry which was caught in the act of dumping rubbish at the notorious spot along the main road.
Last Friday Oct 23, I was informed by several residents around 5pm that a lorry was dumping rubbish at the main road. In fact, several agitated residents called the police.
I could not come back immediately. By the time I arrived, it was about 2 hours later and getting dark.
SRA President Robert Quah and committee member Wilson Szeto were already at the scene, umbrellas in hand, waiting for DBKL to come.
I could not wait due to pressing personal errands and quickly took a few pictures in the rain.
Uncle Robert told me he had called DBKL after seeing the lorry and he stayed on to ensure the cops would also wait for DBKL to turn up.
Later, I learnt from him that DBKL team turned up after an hour and impounded the lorry.
Key lesson here is the constant vigilance is the key to prevent this from recurring.
Meanwhile, if any of you know the owner of the land there, please email the committee with contact particulars so we can follow up accordinly. It would be good to erect a fence to prevent unauthorised dumping.
Cheers

What is the Seputeh Security Scheme
SRA SECURITY SCHEME (The Scheme) w.e.f Nov 1, 2009
Objective
The Scheme is a voluntary subscription scheme open to all in Seputeh – members or non-members. We have the full support of Brickfields police who have pledged their continued vigilance.
The appointed security company will liaise closely with the Brickfields police station. Our objective would be met once visitors get the perception that Seputeh is a “secured neighbourhood” and criminals avoid our community – Perception Makes Reality!
How It Works
1. Every street will be patrolled once an hour, 24-hours a day, with three men from 7am-7pm and four men from 7pm-7am
2. Nepali guards will be deployed with local supervisors
3. Patrol routes will be carefully planned and clocking points will be strategically located to ensure all streets are patrolled
4. Two security cabins with boom gates will be set up at:
• Junction of Jln Tmn Seputeh & Jln Bkt Raja (near mosquito trap)
• Jln Tg 12 entrance to Kommuter Station
5. Normal traffic will not be hindered. Boom gates will only be lowered in an emergency
6. Incident escalation process involves lockdown, police called to the scene and a police report lodged. Each lockdown means all vehicles will be stopped and checked with police assistance
7. Scheme will operate under a separate account called SRA Security Fund with separate Hon. Treasurer and independent auditors
8. Each subscriber will get a plaque to be displayed on the gate
9. Emergency call centre numbers including mobile numbers of guard supervisors will be given to all subscribers
Monthly Subscription
Monthly subscriptions – to be collected in advance every 6 months – are:
* RM40 for single-storey terrace houses & townhouses
* RM60 for 2-storey or 3-storey link houses, shops at Jln T.Pulai & Bkt Raja
* RM70 for semi-detached houses
* RM85 for detached houses/bungalows
* RM30 for offices on top of shops at Jln Bkt Raja
This 5-tier rate is most practical after considering:
• Per capita system: Based on number of persons
• Single Tier: One rate for all
• Hybrid: A single-tier plus head-count
Security Scheme starts Nov 1 -- Sign Up Now
The SRA Security Committee (SSC) is now ready to launch the SRA Security Scheme for Seputeh on Nov 1, 2009. We have gone through a thorough and painstaking process of gathering feedback from residents, evaluating various options and finally selecting a service provider.
Our entire journey – from call for tenders to several rounds of evaluation and finally, awarding the tender to the successful bidder – has undergone scrutiny by 11 residents on Sept 5. These 11 scrutineers are independent from the SRA Committee and the SSC.
Further, they selected from amongst them, three individuals to peruse the process as well as details of the bids and how the SSC made its decision. These three, Mr Tan Chin Shu, Encik Sulaiman Ahmad and Mr Naveen Kumar, went through the documents for two hours on Sept 8 and were satisfied with the transparency and governance standards adopted by the SSC.
Having cleared these two levels of scrutiny, we proceeded into final negotiations with the successful bidder – Force One Security Sdn Bhd – from Sept 8 till end-September. We have now signed the service agreement for patrols to start on Nov 1.
For the scheme to work, we need the support of everyone in Seputeh. Here, we are lucky to have volunteers to be street representatives.
In the next few days, these street representatives and SRA Committee members will visit you to seek your subscription to the scheme.
On behalf of the SRA Security Committee, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us for a simple "launch" of our scheme on Saturday, 31 October, 2009 at 9 pm at the playground in front of the shophouses along Jalan Teluk Pulai.
Please sign up and help contribute towards enhanced security in Seputeh.
All cheques should be issued to "SRA Security Fund" and all payments will be issued a receipt. We do not encourage you to pay cash but if you do, please insist on an official receipt immediately. Thank you.
Best regards,

11 scrutineers and 3 "super scrutineers' vetted process
Dear SRA Members,
The SRA Security Committee is pleased to report that 11 residents turned up to volunteer as scrutineers for the process of choosing a service provider for the SRA Security Scheme.
A scrutineers' meeting was held for 2 hours on a Saturday morning on Sept 5 at Sri Langit Condo. (We'd like to thank the condo management for its hospitality in accommodating our group of almost 20 pax!)
The 11 were obviously keen to know what happened and details of the process of selecting bidders. Many questions were posed and doubts aired. SRA Security Committee (SSC) chairman Mazlan Kamaruddin gave an initial briefing after which lengthy discussions took place.
These 11 independent scrutineers were obviously satisfied with the process but they did not have the time to go through the detailed bids and SSC offered to "open all books" if necessary.
The 11 then decided to nominate three from amongst them to conduct a proper due diligence audit of the bids received. The trio were Mr Tan Chin Shu, Encik Sulaiman Ahmad and Mr Naveen Kumar.
This “detailed verification meeting” took place on Tuesday night of Sept 8. The three "special scrutineers" went through the files with a fine tooth-comb and checked relevant documents. They were satisfied with the transparency and due diligence observed by the SSC. With this process duly endorsed, the SSC could proceed to fine-tune the final service agreement.
This is where we are now. Stay tuned.

Watch out for these robbers
Dear SRA Members,
Please be on the alert. There have been two confirmed cases of daylight robbery in Seputeh in August.
In both cases, robbers entered the house in broad daylight and seemed to be well-organised with possibly even having look-outs for them.
On Aug 9, a Seputeh resident just left his home for about 20 minutes that Sunday morning when his alarm was triggered. He immediately turned back and headed home.
Arriving home some 10 minutes later, he saw that his home was already broken into and called the police. He entered the house with the police but it was too late.
In a mere 10-15 minutes, the robbers had dismantled his CCTV cameras and disabled his alarm system. He suffered quite heavy losses and fortunately no one was hurt because no one was in.
The second robbery was just down the same road and it took place on Tuesday Aug 25 at 2.30pm. Three men jumped over the well-guarded fence to catch three children and two maids unawares.
They tied them up and ransacked the house. They even had the audacity to call in a vehicle to take over the loot. Luckily, no one was hurt in this incident as well. Surely, it must have been traumatic for the victims.
So, folks, let us be more aware of goings-on in the neighbourhood and watch out for our neighbours.
In both these cases, the homes were quite well protected with cameras and alarms but alas, it could not stop or prevent these well-organised robbers.
The police have been urged to step up patrols but let us beware.
Cheers

Time to serve as scrutineers
This message is sent on behalf of Encik Mazlan Kamaruddin, chairman of SRA Security Committee (SSC).
The SSC has come to the final stage in its process of evaluating the various bids in the tender exercise for a security scheme for the entire Seputeh area.
We have shortlisted three contenders and will soon complete the process and award the security scheme to the eventual winning bidder.
The SSC is now looking for concerned residents to take part in the final process as a scrutineer. There have been many individuals who have expressed interest and to them, the SSC is grateful for their efforts.
We wish to open this to all residents so please pass the word around. The SSC wants more residents to come forward to scrutinise the tender award process. All are welcome.
The SSC is calling for a meeting of all such scrutineers at 10am this Saturday, Sept 5.
Those who are interested to serve as a scrutineer are welcomed to drop an email directly to mazlan at mazlan_ey@yahoo.com. Please provide your full particulars including name, address and mobile number.
The venue of the meeting will be decided later. Mazlan or any other SSC member will contact you to confirm the venue of the meeting. The time and day is fixed at 10am this Saturday.
For and on behalf of SSC.
The SSC has come to the final stage in its process of evaluating the various bids in the tender exercise for a security scheme for the entire Seputeh area.
We have shortlisted three contenders and will soon complete the process and award the security scheme to the eventual winning bidder.
The SSC is now looking for concerned residents to take part in the final process as a scrutineer. There have been many individuals who have expressed interest and to them, the SSC is grateful for their efforts.
We wish to open this to all residents so please pass the word around. The SSC wants more residents to come forward to scrutinise the tender award process. All are welcome.
The SSC is calling for a meeting of all such scrutineers at 10am this Saturday, Sept 5.
Those who are interested to serve as a scrutineer are welcomed to drop an email directly to mazlan at mazlan_ey@yahoo.com. Please provide your full particulars including name, address and mobile number.
The venue of the meeting will be decided later. Mazlan or any other SSC member will contact you to confirm the venue of the meeting. The time and day is fixed at 10am this Saturday.

Seputeh Security Town Hall Meeting Agenda & Purpose
Copy of email to Seputeh Yahoo Newsgroup
Since the last AGM, I have been approached by the SRA Committee to spearhead this security initiative. For the sake of the Seputeh community, I am willing to contribute my time and effort as a volunteer and will try to do my best.
Allow me to clarify the situation.
Deepak is right in that the scheme will be presented for feedback first. This is why the main points of the scheme have been included in the notice sent out to everyone.
It seems that many people are not clear why we are having this Town Hall meeting. Perhaps, a flashback will help.
At the last AGM, a resolution duly proposed and seconded by two members were put to the ballot. It was carried with more than two-third majority. (131 against 46 with 9 abstentions)
Quote
Given that the security situation in Seputeh has not improved since the last Annual General Meeting,
We, the concerned members of SRA, at this AGM note with alarm the rising incidences of snatch thefts and petty crime in our community,
So we hereby resolve to:
Empowering the SRA Committee (The Committee) to take whatever measures necessary towards improving the security of the Seputeh community on the following principles:
a. The Committee explores all avenues of enhancing security and will adopt any paid or unpaid measure for the good of the Seputeh community;
b. The Committee considers seeking funding from any source, including from the Government, provided that the interest of the SRA and the Seputeh community are not compromised;
c. The Committee gives top priority to the welfare, safety and security of the entire Seputeh community;
d. The Committee ensures that any contribution to any security scheme shall be entirely voluntary and no member of the SRA shall be forced or otherwise coerced into paying any money; and,
e. That SRA funds will only be used to benefit members.
Unquote
Based on this resolution, the SRA Committee formed a Security Committee to carry out the intention of the resolution, keeping in mind part (a) and the other four guiding principles.
The AGM also passed a motion that, in the event the Committee decides on any paid security scheme, it should revert with details of the scheme to all residents for them to decide whether to subscribe or not. Please note that the scheme details must be presented to all those whom we want to invite into the scheme – members and non-members. This is why there is a need to hold a Town Hall meeting and not merely an SRA general meeting of members.
The decision to go ahead with a paid scheme has been made by the security committee after considering all options. This recommendation was presented to the SRA Committee and approved. It is now time for the Town Hall meeting where we will meet residents and clarify any enquiries or doubts that they have. It will not be implemented without getting the feedback and perhaps, better ideas from residents on how to do it better.
The Security Committee wants all the main points of the scheme to be widely disseminated so that residents can come with questions and give feedback. We have not awarded the scheme to any company yet. In fact, we have also asked those who know of credible security companies to recommend them to us. These companies can contact us in the usual manner stated in the notice.
We hope to incorporate whatever views and opinions aired by residents at this Sunday’s meeting into the scheme – as far as possible – and as far as the Security Committee agrees that they are sound and credible ideas. I am sure any reasonable person will be aware that while all views can be heard and considered, not all can be implemented. The Security Committee will hear, consider and decide. It is not a question of who is right or wrong but an issue of which seems to be the best solution and approach to solve Seputeh’s security situation.
We have to move on, go ahead and do it. We need all your support and goodwill.
On the agenda of the meeting, Deepak did not list it out because the Town Hall meeting is a single-purpose meeting – all about security. We thought it was obvious but we were mistaken.
So, here is the agenda:
1. Opening remarks by SRA President
· President Robert Quah welcomes residents to the Town Hall meeting and explain the AGM resolution (non-members would not have known about it)
· President introduces the SRA Security Committee
2. SRA Security Chairman briefs residents on main features of the security scheme
3. Residents to give their views and seek clarification
4. Selection of auditors (at least two) for the security fund
5. Call for volunteers to be street representatives
6. Any other business
Hope that clarifies and we will see you both there. Thank you.
Best regards,
Mazlan

Subject: SRA menghargai usaha Tenaga, harap dapat gunakan genset secepat mungkin
Saudara Nur Zaidi,
Terima kasih atas penjelasan yang diberi di atas gangguan bekalan malam tadi dan kelmarin.
Bila bekalan letrik terputus lebih-kurang jam 8.45 semalam, saya fikir seketika: “Adakah Tenaga ini pantang dipuji?“ J Apatah lagi, gangguan berlaku dua malam berturut-turut pada waktu yang agak sama.
Lagi pun, Encik Mohamed, penyelia di call centre, memberitahu saya gangguan kali ini disebabkan oleh kerosakan yang lebih teruk dan akan mengambil masa yang agar lebih lama untuk memulihkan bekalan.
Walau bagaimanapun, kami faham bahawa keadaan ini tidak dapat dielakkan. Kami juga amat menghargai usaha pasukan Tenaga untuk “locate and repair“ dan keputusan Tenaga untuk mendapat bekalan sementara dari genset sewaktu kerja-kerja menggantikan kabel dijalankan sepanjang malam.
Kami juga berharap, jika gangguan berlaku di masa hadapan, pihak Tenaga dapat menggunakan genset dalam masa secepat mungkin dan tidak akan mengambil masa selama dua jam macam malam tadi.
Sekian, Terima-kasih.

Subject: RE: Tenaga responded well to Seputeh residents' call for help
Mr. Lim,
Saya ingin memohon maaf di atas gangguan bekalan yang telah dialami pada hai Isnin dan Selasa. Kedua-dua gangguan adalah berkaitan.
Gangguan bekalan pada hari Isnin adalah berpunca dari cable fault dari PMU Danau Desa ke Pencawang Elektrik Taman Bukit Seputeh. Fasa yang terlibat adalah fasa kuning. Feedback telah diberi untuk memberi bekalan semula ke Pencawang Elektrik Tmn Bukit Seputeh. Dalam lingkungan 9.30 pm Bekalan telah berjaya dipulihkan.
Semalam iaitu pada hari Selasa pukul 8.45 pm satu lagi gangguan bekalan di kawasan Seputeh telah berlaku. Ini adalah disebabkan oleh feedback yang diberi pada hari Isnin telah trip. Berbeza dengan hari Isnin, masa untuk pulihkan bekalan memerlukan masa kerana tiada feedback dapat diberi disebabkan beban yang tinggi. Genset telah dipanggil pada pukul 12 pm. 1.45 pm genset siap dipasang ke 2 buah pencawang elektrik untuk memberi bekalan ke kawasan yang mengalami gangguan.
Kerja-kerja locate dan repair telah dilakukan. Cable yang rosak telah diganti dengan yang baru. Kerja-kerja membaik pulih siap sekitar 6 am. Diharap masalah ini tidak akan berulang lagi. Terima kasih diucapkan kepada Mr. Lim di atas kesudian untuk sampaikan status kepada semua penduduk yang mengalami gangguan. Tqvm.

Blackouts on May 4 and 5: What Tenaga Did
Dear SRA Members,
We have been hit twice on successive nights (May 4 and 5) by power outage. On May 4, power was restored quickly and we have commended Tenaga. When it happened again, almost at the same time as a day earlier, I was wondering whether Tenaga "pantang dipuji" :)
On May 5, it took much longer due to a "double fault" and Tenaga has apologised for the inconvenience.
Their crews worked throughout the night from 8.45pm, first working to restore power to all sub-stations affected in KL South and had expected it to be done by midnight. Some of you may have been alerted by SMS by SRA.
Then, around midnight, it was found that the cables at the Bukit Seputeh substation "tripped" due to over-load once supply was restored.
Tenaga then brought in generator sets to supply power while the team worked throughout the night. Supply from the gen-sets came on line at 1.45am, so we all had power by that time.
Cable replacement work was completed by 6am this morning. Those early risers will notice that there was a 3-minute interruption in power supply this morning around 6.10am. This was to enable them to pull out the gen-set and plug in the new supply cable.
Even though we don't like the frequent blackouts, we must acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the Tenaga crews. Thank you, Tenaga, but please try to prevent this from happening once too often.
Cheers

Fruitful Meeting With Waterworks on April 14
Dear SRA Members,
SRA President Robert Quah, Vice-President Mazlan Kamaruddin and I met officials from Syabas and Tenaga Nasional for two hours on Tuesday evening to discuss ways of reducing incidences of water cuts due to pump failure and electricity disruption.
Top line result:- Hopefully, water cuts due to pump failure will be reduced tremendously through 3 steps:
1) Installing an SMS-based early-alert system that gives Syabas about 4 hours lead time to take remedial measures in case of pump failure, and
2) Adjusting current automatic pump circuitry to enable any one working pump to take over the duties of a failed pump, and
3) Putting a spare water tank on standby to add to the buffer capacity of the service reservoir.
Item 1 was done last Friday -- one day after meeting SRA President -- while item 2 will be done once Syabas technical department figures out how to fine-tune the electrical relay system. Item 3 will be implemented soon.
Now the background: This meeting resulted from a series of emails between your Committee and Puspel customer service centre arising from last Wednesday and Thursday's pump failures.
The Syabas team was led by Encik Mohd Azmi Jamaluddin, the senior technical manager for Syabas Wilayah KL, while Tenaga was represented by Nur Zaidi Mohd Yusup who is in charge of Seputeh.
Actually, Encik Azmi and the Syabas General Manager had visited Robert last Thursday itself to show their concern and to assure the SRA that they were doing their best under the circumstances. This came about after the Committee sent an email to the Puspel centre expressing our displeasure with the water cuts on two consecutive days. We had wanted to meet them on Saturday but they asked for more notice and suggested Tuesday.
Here is the Puspel email reply, time-stamped late Thursday afternoon, which I am reproducing in full:

Here are the details:
After our strongly-worded complaints to Puspel, the Syabas team swung into action. We will give credit where credit is due. They immediately ordered an early-warning system for the service reservoir (the one in front of Sri Langit's main entrance). It was installed on Friday.
At Tuesday's meeting, the SRA officials found out that the early warning system works on the basis that if the water level drops to four feet above the strainer which covers the outlet pipe (meaning only four feet of water left in the reservoir), an SMS will be sent to Encik Azmi and another officer called Encik Mohd Rozam.
We asked how long could four feet last at an average consumption rate and we were told 2-3 hours. This means if the pumps fail, they would be alerted only when the water level dropped to four feet.
We suggested the threshold be raised to six feet and they agreed. This will give Syabas at least 4 hours to solve the problem. This change from 4 feet to 6 feet will be implemented by this Friday, they promised.
As for the pumps, there are two at the pump house along Jalan Taman Seputeh. Each pump is designated to work a 12-hour shift and the shift-change is automated by a timer. This means when the water level at the service reservoir drops to 1 foot from the overflow pipe, the pump will start. When the level reaches the overflow pipe, it will stop. But, if the pump that is "on duty" happens to break down, it will not work when the "signal to pump" is sent from the service reservoir.
We strongly suggested that Syabas engineers look into installing some kind of an auto-relay system that can "override" the 12-hour shift if one pump breaks down. In other words, if one pump fails, it should trigger an "override" command to the other pump to take over its "shift" even if it is not scheduled to be "on duty".
They agreed that this could be done but they had to bring this idea back to their engineers to study and will revert.
The Syabas team also assured us that the pumps are manually checked twice a day. This means any such an "override" situation could be easily detected by humans within 12 hours and the faulty pump repaired or replaced. So, there is no risk of one pump working all the time and then "burning-out".
The third idea of using a spare storage tank was agreed immediately. Using this tank will perhaps buy us a little bit more time before the taps run dry -- for high-ground homes, it could mean an hour.
As for Tenaga, Encik Zaidi assured us that the pumphouse is considered a priority installation and Tenaga monitors supply to it round-the-clock. He said if there was a supply failure from Tenaga's side, it would know immediately and a "flying squad" would be despatched.
However, it would not be able to detect any electrical "trip" within the pumphouse. This would be akin to the ELCB trip-switch that you have in your homes. Once it is tripped -- whether by a short-circuit or by lightning -- you would have to manually reset it.
The Syabas team has resolved this by installing a seven-pole surge protection relay into the pumphouse electrical system to prevent trips. Once the ELCB trips, it will also RESET ITSELF after 1 minute. So we have double protection now -- surge protection as well as auto reset of ELCB trips!
Now, dear SRA members, the Committee is happy that Syabas and Tenaga have come together to reassure Seputeh residents of their efforts in reducing pump failures. For that, we are indeed grateful.
What is more important to us is this: --
For many, many years, we had to wait until our taps run dry and then we call Waterworks. Even up to last Thursday, that was the situation.
Now, Waterworks have put in pre-emptive measures to ensure integrity of power supply and early warning of pump failure. Even if the pumps fail, they will be alerted at least 4 hours before our taps run dry.
With this lead-time, they will try their best to avert a dry-tap situation.
Now that is what I call progress.
Thank you, Syabas.
Thank you, Tenaga.
And thank you, SRA members, for being patient all these years.
Cheers

Security Alert Email To SRA Chairman
Hi Robert,
I’m Tan from <House Number Provided>, Jln Tmn Seputeh 2.
Lately I have noticed this chap going around our neighbourhood requesting for money. It usually happen towards the evening time that I have seen this chap.
The first time I noticed this chap was around in Dec’08 approaching a house a few house down the road from where I live, jln tmn seputeh 2. That was approx 8pm.
The second time, can’t recall the month, was approx 6+ in the evening where he carried a plant and approaching a few houses to try to sell it. Not sure whether he succeeded in selling off the plant.
On 22/3/09’s evening while going for my usual evening walk I noticed him again this time with bandage around his next (probably a fake one) and approaching houses for money at jln tmn seputeh 5 & 6.
I’m just worry that he may start something more drastic if he cannot get enough “income” visiting houses in our neighbourhood.
I hope you can assist to post this up at Orang Seputeh blog to inform others and be ready to call in the police if this chap start making further rounds at our neighbourhood.
Rgds,
Tan

On 22/3/09’s evening while going for my usual evening walk I noticed him again this time with bandage around his next (probably a fake one) and approaching houses for money at jln tmn seputeh 5 & 6.
I’m just worry that he may start something more drastic if he cannot get enough “income” visiting houses in our neighbourhood.
I hope you can assist to post this up at Orang Seputeh blog to inform others and be ready to call in the police if this chap start making further rounds at our neighbourhood.
Rgds,
Tan

Daylight Robbery March 26
Daylight Robbery, guest posting by FizzyChickenSoup
As part of my morning exercise routine, I often cycle around the crescent formed by roads Taman Seputeh 2, 3 and 4. Every time I do this route I have been very impressed when I meet a dear old lady with her maid out exercising with the aid of a ‘Zimmer frame’. She can just about walk and may only cover a hundred yards in 20 minutes, but as least she is getting out and making the effort.
I always gain pleasure and inspiration from her determination, her lovely smile and her cheery ‘Good Morning’ greeting.
Today [Thursday 26th march 2009] however it was a very different story, It was approximately 8.35am when I met this dear lady & her maid, as I cycled along Taman Seputeh 3; but this time they were accompanied by several other ladies, and there seem to be some commotion.
The dear old lady (I think her name is Mrs Hewi, or something like that – sorry about the spelling), had tears in her eyes, and the maid was also crying.
The other ladies then helped the old lady into a car and drove her 50 meters to her house.I now knew there was something not right, so I stopped and chatted with several people including a Mrs Tan, who lives very nearby.
It turns out that two ‘Malay speaking’ youths on a motorcycle approached the lady and the maid. The pillion rider produced a knife, and ordered them not to scream or shout.
They then pushed the old lady to the floor and snatched her gold necklace before riding off!
It must have happened literally a minute or maximum two before I arrived as I did not see any motorcycle exiting onto Taman Seputeh, and another maid said the went out of Taman Seputeh 3.
Two minutes earlier and I would have witnessed this foul act taking place. I know I could not have stood back, and done nothing, and who knows what the outcome might have been.
Maybe it was a blessing for me, but for sure I would have attacked, with only my bicycle, fists and feet as weapons; but against a moron with a knife the outcome is by no means certain.
Scary, but yet more evidence that Seputeh is no longer the safe place it used to be, and you don’t have to wait until it is dark.Now having related this very current & topical story, from a personal perspective, I have to hide it away under ‘Comments’ for no one to see!
Why can the Forum Moderator open it up for general comments from the public? What are you scared off?
Topics can still be approved before posting, moderated, or deleted as is currently the case. When can we have a real Seputeh Residents Forum, or shall I set one up myself?

SNAP president robbed at knife-point... not in Seputeh(!)
If this can happen to a top politician, are Orang Seputeh any safer?
SNAP president robbed at knife-point
MIRI, March 2 – Two men armed with knives today robbed Sarawak National Party (SNAP) president Edwin Dundang of a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and mobile phone here.
Dundang, 69, was talking to a reporter on his phone while seated inside his son-in-law’s parked Naza Ria at a road shoulder near Saint Columba’s Kindergarten when the hold-up occurred at 2.25pm.
At the time, he was waiting to pick up his granddaughter from the kindergarten.
While in the midst of talking to the reporter, Dundang heard someone warn him that if he did not alight from the vehicle, he would be killed.
“Fearing for my life, I just got out of the MPV and was confronted by two men. They took away my handphone before escaping in the vehicle,” he added.
Dundang said that despite signalling passing motorists, no one stopped to help.
Eventually, a woman who was fetching her child from the kindergarten, sent him to the central police headquarters to lodge a report.
Dundang was elected SNAP president in May 2003 to succeed Sarawak’s veteran politician Datuk Amar James Wong who helmed the party for 22 years. – Bernama

Chinese newspapers carried our event
Dear Seputeh residents,
Seputeh Residents' Day -- Your Day -- hit all the 3 Chinese newspapers on Sunday. They mainly carried news about the need for community self-help on security (quoting YB Teresa Kok) and the abortive sound barrier along Jalan Tg 12, quoting YB Fong.

An email response to SRA February newsletter
An email in response to our February newsletter:
Dear Chairman of SRA,
Congrats to the newly elected committee.
The Feb. newsletter highlights a number of proactive initiatives that is being taken by the committee and this is a good start.
Regarding the issue of hiring private security guards to patrol our housing estate, I am one of those who are supportive of the idea.
What is important is the cost each house owner has to contribute. If it is a reasonable amount I think we should all chip in so that we have a more secure neighbourhood.
I hope more residents will put in their vote so that the scheme can take off.
But there is bound to be some parasites who just want to enjoy a free ride and this will pose some problem for the majority.

New resident seeks to join SRA
Here is an encouraging email received from a new resident which we thought we should share with all residents. The full name and address of the sender was provided and we have removed them for privacy reasons.
Hi the SRA Committee,
We are from No.x Jalan xyz, Taman Bukit Seputeh.
Having moved in since Sept 08, we are happy with Seputeh with its quietness, greenery and the friendly neighbours.
Seputeh is special as it's not like the closed-by commercialised neighbourhood filled with shops, restaurants and traffic. However it still could not run away from having the same problems just like anywhere else - increasing crime rate..
Coming from a small family with a young son, we care and constantly worry for our loved ones. We are therefore fully supportive of a paid security scheme.
This has proven to be an effective deterrent in keeping our home away from the criminals and reducing the crime rates.
A good example is Seri Petaling which used to be popular with the 'Parang Gang' that was every resident's fear, recently implemented the similar scheme by recruiting security personnel to guard the neighbourhood and keep a close watch on cars & new faces in and out of the area 24 hours.
By each household footing out RM60 every month, the residents now have good night sleep every day. This scheme will definitely be easier to be implemented in Seputeh since we have limited entrances / exits for getting in and out.
On the issue of not everyone agreeing to pay for the scheme, could I suggest the following adopted by Seri Petaling residents - have every house who is under the scheme labeled with the special stickers on their gates indicating their respective allocated no.
Therefore houses without the special stickers - sorry no attention will be given to you by the guards during any incidents whatsoever.
Hope my above suggestion could be considered and looking forward to SRA implementing the security scheme real soon.
P/S please advise where to obtain a SRA registration form. Thanks and have a nice day.
Mr and Mrs <>name provided>
We responded to that by inviting her to join this Saturday's Residents' Day and to sign up there and then. We may drop a form in her post-box sooner as well.
