A Message from your Ara Committee

Dear Residents',

Following up with the earlier message by Mr. Cheah, there seems to be not much of a change of mindsets of some of our residents'.

Parking along the the roads with not much thought about the traffic flow is worrisome.

It only creates a narrow path for vehicles passing through especially the big rubbish disposal trucks, recycle trucks and others.

Not only has this been the case now, residents have also now resorted to blocking the roads (lorongs) in between the houses.

There are various reasons why these lanes were constructed. One very important reason is for emergencies. Just imagine if you encounter an emergency and you require assistance desperately. An ambulance, bomba or PDRM makes a wrong turn or a fire breaks out and they want to access these roads (lorongs). What's going to happen? Something every resident should think about.

There was an incident in Feb this year. The electrical cables behind some houses were on fire.

Bomba could not access the road because it was block by a car. I was called at 12 midnight by Security. They had to go knocking on doors of houses nearby to get the car moved. Luckily, the owner of the car was around and still awake. Just imagine if the car owner was not found.

Let's not be ignorant to common sense and continue blocking these very important access roads.

I'm attaching a photo of bomba attending to the fire on that early morning.

NEIGHBOURLY DISPUTES

We appeal to all ARA RESIDENTS to exercise restraint in resolving every dispute pertaining to Car-Parking, Renovation etc. Often the Security Guards are drawn in to resolve neighbourly disputes. The Security Guards primary job is to ensure the SECURITY AND SAFETY in ARA RESIDENCES are maintained to as a high standard as possible. Whilst the security guards may be called to help solve neighbourly problems, the ARA RESIDENCES COMMITTEE wish to advise that these disputes are often outside the Scope of the Security Guards as it is not their duty to resolve EVERY neighbourly dispute especially between neighbours. ARA RESIDENCES is NOT A GATED AND GUARDED DEVELOPMENT with NO LEGAL HOUSE RULES AND REGULATIONS that exist as in GATED AND GUARDED DEVELOPMENTS which are officially submitted to the COMMISSIONER OF BUILDINGS in the LAND OFFICE. ARA RESIDENCES are encouraged to refer to the MBPJ GUIDELINES or other similar references wherever possible as well as settle neighbourly disputes in a cordial, restraint and friendly manner.

RUBBISH DISPOSAL

ARA RESIDENTS are advised NOT to dump, dispose or leave rubbish along Road- shoulders, Side-walks, Open spaces or Parks. These attract stray animals and give your ARA RESIDENCES a bad name and reputation.

PETS

ARA RESIDENTS are advised to ensure their pet stools are cleaned from the public areas including roads and lanes.
Pet-lovers are encouraged to be considerate to their neighbours who do not rear pets.

Hi Fellow Ara Residents,

Kindly be considerate in parking your cars along the roads to ensure good neighbourliness. Many of our houses have multiple cars and carparking spaces are very2 limited plus it gets tight with parking on either side of the roads.

This is a Non-security issue but it is indeed annoying to have an obstruction of such often leading to accidents. If however it is an Emergency it would do good if the car-owner place a note with a handphone number at the main wind-screen to facilitate communication.

Your kind cooperation in much appreciated.

TQ and Rgds

Cops call for calm after neighbours fight over gardening, parking

SHAH ALAM: Police have urged for cooler heads to prevail after a video of a clash between two groups of neighbours went viral.

Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Baharudin Mat Taib said they received two reports over the incident which occurred at around 3pm on Friday (June 11).

"The incident that occurred at a neighbourhood at Section 24, Shah Alam, was sparked over a disagreement over gardening and parking.

"We recorded statements from all those involved and are investigating the case for rioting, committing mischief and committing an act that could negligently spread an infectious disease as well as movement control order violations," he said in a statement on Saturday (June 12).

He said investigations revealed both parties have agreed to make peace and have retracted their police reports.

"With that said we will still conduct our investigations in a fair and transparent manner.

"The community is also advised not to take actions into their own hands in any situation which could lead to breaking the law," he said.

He also warned against taking advantage of the issue in order to maintain public unity.

"The investigation papers will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutors office as soon as possible," he said.

A four-minute video of the incident had gone viral on Saturday.

In the video, two women standing by the roadside were seen being engaged in a shouting match with a man inside the house.

The man gets visibly angered and comes out to confront the women and a struggle ensues.

Shortly after, more people appear and the situation becomes more volatile and the woman was shoved in a drain. The man was also later seen falling in the drain.

Parking OBstructing traffic notice

As suggested by some Ara residents, Ara security guards will exercise a new SOP to place a "Parking Obstructing Traffic Notice" as shown to seek cooperation from the vehicle owner to re-park.

Is it really illegal for an unknown car to block your home’s entrance?

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!
