DAMANSARA Utama Zone C residents will have their gated and guarded scheme up and running in a month, finally joining other zones in the area.
The Zone C security team is still finalising the details.
Its chairman, Chan Chiau Khiang, said the area was prone to crime before the guards started patrolling last May. “There is still crime being committed but it is an average of one case per month and we hope with the gated and guarded scheme, Zone C will be a much safer place,” he said.
Zone C has 350 houses and 220 are subscribing to the scheme, with a monthly charge of RM50 per household.
There are four guards — two during the day and two at night. However, the committee feels three guards for each shift would be ideal and for that more members and funding are needed. There are guardhouses in Jalan SS21/48 and Jalan SS21/29 with boom gates.
The two guardhouses costing RM4,400 were donated by Al-Azhar Global Sdn Bhd under 1 Malaysia Teras Kegemilangan Rakyat. The two points will be closed between midnight and 6am as per the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) guidelines.
Damansara Utama Residents and Owners Association president Rajes Patel said they started off guards patrolling in Damansara Utama in 2003, and subsequently zones A, B1, B2 and D subscribed to it. “What is happening in Zone C is an extension of the scheme and the idea is to have better security. “The next phase would be to have CCTVs in the area and of course that will depend on the subscribers,” he said during the launch of the scheme yesterday.
