Public roads blocked, boom gates installed, communities inconvenienced from moving in and out, "security guards" asking to check people's identification such as MyKad or driving license. Some even have implemented the prohibited proximity / access card system without the proper consent and approval, etc... Even though the above are all illegal, yet the corrupt RAs still implemented them...
----<<<>>>----
Do not allow corrupt RAs to operate or implement illegal or informal "GnG" schemes as they wish... Do not allow them to bully the residents and the communities. Make sure the RAs do not flout the laws and the guidelines.
Say no to informal gated and guarded housing schemes in your neighbourhood. Instead introduce Kawasan Rukun Tetangga (KRT) as endorsed and promoted by the government.
Many RAs have been blatantly flouting the laws implementing "formal gated community" schemes on their own even though they are only "informal gated communities". Are these RAs corrupt or are they incapable of following the rule of law? Do you think that RA is about neighborhood security and do you think they can really put a stop to crime? Or perhaps they have their personal agenda and are just opportunistic?
Not sure if the RAs have the proper and official approvals from the authorities. Or perhaps they did not get the necessary approvals at all for the type of scheme that they wanted to implement. Most of the time the requirements are not met. Some of the RAs went ahead to implement GC schemes despite only obtaining approval for a GN scheme or an informal GC scheme only. Some don't even know what scheme they can or cannot implement.
They have no regard for the laws or guidelines. They will just implement what they want according to their interpretation of the scheme. Some are bullies and some are linked to syndicates and gangsters. Whatever it is do not trust them so easily and do not sign any papers to give them any type of consent.
They will sweet talk you initially but they will start to coerce others later when they have sufficient numbers. You might be giving them the license to collect money from the neighborhood. They will make it "inconvenient" for you and your family /friends if you don't participate in their scheme. Many residents did not know what they were getting into initially when they sign the consent letters... only to regret later on. It's high time the communities and the authorities put a stop to this.
