We encourage you to STOP LITTERING and become a considerate neighbour and human being!
Dear Ara Residents,
The Committee members have installed all the the Dog and CarPark signs at the appropriate Road Name posts in all the 4 sectors- Lagenda, Mastiara, Nastura & Ophelia today.
We thought it best to be done before the MCO.
Hopefully ALL our ARA Residents, (Paying & Non-Paying) who are animal-lovers will take note of the signs and do the appropriate. Frankly if they still leave their dogs' poo everywhere and park their cars incriminately then they are nothing much we can do but sigh....
Stay safe and Warm regards,
Cheah
On behalf of Ara Residents' Committee.

Dear Ara Residents,
The Dog and Car Parking signs are ready with the appropriate wires to be looped and tied to the respective road signs/vertical stands where you stay. There are about 40 signs (in Lagenda, Mastiara,.Nastura & Ophelia) to be put up for the roads of which I have the details.
If any of you would like to volunteer to put it up in the respective roads, you are most welcome to join the Committee. All you need is a small ladder or a tall chair to get it done.
Anyone interested can come by to my house (address below) and collect the signs tomorrow, Sunday (30thMay2021) between 11.00am-1.00pm.
Terima kasih.
Satu Arah Untuk Ara.

The answer is yes, especially if they are causing an inconvenience or obstructing you! The law that supports this is known as the Road Transport Act 1987 (RTA 1987). If they insist on parking there then tell them that the law is on your side and show them Section 48 (1). Or this article!
According to Section 48 (1), clearly states that any motorist who parks their car in a condition that “likely to cause danger, obstruction or undue inconvenience to other users of the road or to traffic”, they can be fined up to a maximum of RM5,000 and/or at least one year in jail.
If you are frustrated by cars always blocking your way into your house or just causing a hazard on your road, then just call your nice, friendly local council to solve the problem. This is where DBKL, MBPJ, MPSJ comes in!
Under Section 48 (2), the local authority can clamp or tow the offending vehicle away. “A police officer, road transport officer or any appropriate authority may clamp the wheel of the motor vehicle or remove or cause to be removed the motor vehicle to any other road or some other location or place as may be stated in a notice and remain there at the risk of the owner.”
Of course, we recommend that you try and talk things out with the driver before resorting to such means. Sometimes they might not realise that they are causing such an inconvenience!
