It is better to be neighbourly
I am also a long-time resident in Taman Tun Dr Ismail and I would like to know what right the security firm or the people who pay for the security have to set rules for non-paying residents and to stop them at the entry points just because they do not have the required stickers?
They also pay quit rent and assessment like the rest. They also own the land where they live.
In fact, I have noticed that there is even a dog and a guard at the pedestrian bridge nearby.
What if one day the dog attacks a passer-by? Who is going to be responsible? The security firm or the ‘paying’ residents?
I normally take evening walks and, lately, there will be a guard or a dog at almosy every nook and corner.
Personally, I don’t feel any safer actually.
Just some days back, when I was walking onto one of the roads, a guard asked me where I was from.
When I told him I was from the road behind, he wanted my address. Imagine that!
This is getting ridiculous and I cannot walk freely in my own area!
To me, being neighbourly means to be concerned about and kind to each other.
For example, we should exchange telephone numbers and, if we do go outstation, we can inform our nextdoor neighbours so that they can look out for unfamiliar visitors.
Should there be any problem, we should then call our neighbour and the police.
Now, I even see cones, plastic chairs and flower pots on the road between houses.
I am sure this is to prevent someone parking their car. Is this being neighbourly?
