True picture of guarded areas
in Kota Kemuning needed
03/09/2007 The Star
I REFER to the recent views in The Star – “Unlawful roadblocks” (Aug 11) and
“Stop roadblock nonsense now” (Aug 27). I feel the writers did not give a
true picture of guarded areas in Kota Kemuning.
I lived in USJ Subang Jaya for nearly 14 years before moving to Kota
Kemuning last year. I now live in Anggerik Oncidium of Kota Kemuning, which
is also a guarded area. None of the guards in Kota Kemuning would ask
motorists to produce their IC.
I also have a carpool with friends to send and fetch our children to school
in Subang Jaya. One of them lives in Jalan Anggerik Eria 31/109 and another
in Jalan Anggerik 31/104 (also guarded). My friends and I do not face any
problems entering or passing through these areas.
Since the completion of new interchange to Kesas Highway near Bukit Rimau in
February, most motorists from the precincts of Jalan Anggerik Vanda, Jalan
Anggerik Oncidium and Jalan Anggerik Doritis use Persiaran Anggerik Vanda as
an access to Bukit Rimau, Kesas Highway or the commercial area along
Persiaran Anggerik Vanilla.
Many do not use Jalan Anggerik Eria 31/109 to get to other areas, as this
road is narrow and curvy. But, passing through 31/109 does not save much
time and petrol.
If we were to demolish all guardhouses, could we enjoy peaceful slumber
without worries? Guards and gates prove useful in keeping bad hats away, and
this has indirectly reduced the heavy burden on the police force, which is
short-handed now.
I LOVE KOTA KEMUNING,
Kota Kemuning, Selangor. |
