Safe Neighbourhoods

Page 6 of the New Strait Times has an article entitled Neighbourhoods under siege, telling how the residents of USJ17 combatting crime by fencing up their area, closed up all access roads except one and hired guards. I salute their efforts, and the fact that they are willing to actually spend RM10,000 is prove that they are doing all they can do fight crime.

 

I thought that that article would actually inspire other neighbourhoods to do likewise, but Page 7 has an article entitled Paying the price for condo living. This article tells us how residents of a particular condominium pay RM3,000 yearly for maintenance fees, which is to include security, and still end up being robbed.

 

So there you go. People doing everything they can, and still suffer from social ills. Can somebody who can & is suppose to do something please do something?
