PUCHONG: Fears of robbery,snatch theft, burglary andmugging are preventing Kin-rara residents fromgetting agoodRighfssleep. ,

Residents, who met withSeputeh MP Teresa Kok andChief Inspector Lokman. Ah-mad in charge of PuchongJaya police, station for a dia-logue session, had manycrime stories to recount.

A. woml1I\ l1lIll)ing akindergarten in ThmanMawar said she was recentlyrobbed by two,men on a mo-torcycle. '

She said she could recog-nise the robbers who are stillhanging around the area.

She ,alleged that when sheapproached a policeman. on .his rounds to apprehend themen, he told her to chaSe af-ter them perself. .

"How am I, a woman, teichase"after a crinIinal?" sheasked at the dialogue held oafthe community hall in TamanMawar:

Aresident ofBK3.whowasa victim of a' robbery twoweeks ago" said a spate orsuch incidents had takenplace in BK2and BK3.

"I learnt from the policewho came to investigate thecrime that'mine was the sixthhouse to be burgled in thearea on the same day, hesaid. -

"Last Friday, my-colleaguein BK2 said three homes onthe same' row as hers were

tobbed on the same day."Another resident was pur-

sued and robbed last week bytwo men, one wielding aparang.

"Eyen with three locks, ittook only minutes for them tobreak into my house," hesaid.

Another resident, AwiesUng said som~ foreignerswere becoming Ii ntJisance inPuchong. "They get drunk,create a ruckus, leave emptybottles around and frequent-ly get into brawls," he re-vealed.

Kok said that over the lastfew months, she has receivedmany complaints from vic-tims of crime in theKiniaraarea. '

She emphasiSed that vic-timS should make reports sothatthe,police would have up-to-date statistics, otherwiSe,

.they wilt think that the- areawas peaceful apd safe;

"When Itir~t became. I1I\MP,a~o1)p'(jfjiYillagers ciJni~plainedabout.the' crime ratein their kampung, but when Ireferred. the matter to theOCPD concerned, heshpwedme the'statistics and saidthece were only two cases re-ported there in the previoussix months," said Kok.

Lokman said: "We havebeefed up patrols in BK2,BK3 and BK4. Between 8pmand 4am, three groups patrolthese areas along \\lith Relamembers. '

"We have a patrol car aswell as policemen on scram-bler bikes going around. "

He added that from the po-

lice's findings, tlie residentsin the area - were likestrangers, to one another.Many of them did not evenknowtheir immediateneigh-bours.

"To prevent criminal activi-,ties, residents should cooper-. ate with one another andwatch out for each other," hesaid.

,Lokman said communitypolicing was useful and to-wards this'end, a communitybase was set up in TK 5137four months ago.

"We have at least four pa-trol cars monitoring theThmanMawar area," he said.

"Police are at the sceneWithin 15 minutes after weare informed of a crime. Weare doing our best butwe alsoneed'the cooperation of thepublic," said Lokman. .

He said he had 70 men un-der his cOmmand. "If resi-dents are not-happy with anyof our personnel, they shouldnote his name froin the nametag or provide his vehiclenumber to me or my deputy."- Lokmansaid the foreignershad valid visas and papers.

"Most of the in are students

studying in colleges. Theirculture could differ from ours

but if they are not involved in'criminal activities, there'snothing nmch we can do,"Lokman added.-

Subang Jaya municipalcouncillor Gary Chong said if75 per cent of the residentswould sign a petiti()n, hewould bring it up with thecouncil to help to turn thearea into a gated community.
