Support Fully The Boomgate Project In Housing Estates

Crime rates have been rising every day and proactive residents of the area are going all out to ensure that their neighbourhood is safe to stay. Many have remarked that “ We dare not even go for a walk in our neighbourhood after dinner”. Imagine, we have to be all cooped up in our houses all the time, manually locking our electronic gate from inside at night, letting the radios play the whole day long and many other means to stay safe in our own houses. Why has security issue become our problem nowadays? Where are all the police?

If I take a walk in my housing estate in Damansara Jaya at anytime of the day, I could hardly see any police patrolling the area. There are so many police reports being made for cars stolen from inside the locked houses, snatch thieves and house break-ins during the day and night. We residents have played our roles as responsible citizens to lock our houses and what steps have the police taken?Lately, in many housing estates, the residents have initiated to put up boom-gates to gate their neighbourhood as the solution to security problems .Such initiatives are highly praised but it can only be launched when 85% of the residents have agreed.Also, the price to pay by each household would be greatly reduced if everyone participates in financing it. Let us make sure our full support is given to this group of residents who care and is doing a noble job to make sure we feel safe in our own neighbourhood as soon as possible!
