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
KH

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,
Mazlan Kamaruddin
