Petaling Jaya: Residents at Jalan SS20/10 in Damansara Utama want Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd (SPNB) to refrain from taking the only park in their neighbourhood for the Sungei Buloh/Kajang Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project. SPNB had proposed to acquire and develop the green area, which is 2m from the residents' houses, as a car park and truck access for the Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) MRT station staff.

The residents are also asking SPNB to relocate the proposed TTDI MRT station at Jalan SS20/10. Read more .....

Take responsibility, residents told

Criminals become bold when they know that neighbours in a residential area do not care for one another.

THE residents are the ones responsible for making their neighbourhood safe and secure, said Gasing Indah Rukun Tetangga (RT) voluntary patrol unit (SRS) head Eric Chew.

Chew said the biggest problem was the attitude of the people for not taking responsibility of their own neighbourhood.

Residents in SS20/10 get summonses for parking in front of their own houses

RESIDENTS in Jalan SS 20/10, Petaling Jaya, are puzzled and upset as to why the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has issued them summonses for parking in front of their homes.

The summonses stated that they had committed an offence for parking on a yellow line.

“All the residents staying along Jalan SS 20/10 would have been given at least one summons over the past few months for parking outside their houses,” said the 50-year-old company director, who has received three summonses.
