Gotong-Royong Campaign

21 April 2009: A gotong royong was launched to clean up the area on the eastern side of Emerald Park which borders the school compound. The purpose was not only to prune the trees and bushes along the boundary but also to clear all the rubbish that have been strewn there by irresponsible residents living in the old phase of Emerald Park. Such rubbish would become the fertile breeding ground for dengue mosquitoes! About 40 odd residents assembled at the basketball court at 7.30 am to kick off the campaign. Tuan Chow Wai Fatt from MPS, together with workers, lorries, and an excavator were also brought to assist us in our task. It was exhausting work for all those who wielded the parangs to slash the undergrowth in the blazing morning sun ! We would like to thank En. Steven Aw, one of the residents, who provided us with lots of bottled drinks to quench our thirst. We finished just after noon, having trimmed all the trees and most rubbish carted away in the MPS lorries. We would like to remind all residents NOT to throw rubbish along the boundary fence because it is not only unsightly but it is hazardous to health.

Security Measures at the Guard House


27 March 2009: To enhance security in Emerald Park, the following security measures have been introduced recently at the Guard House:
  • CCTV cameras have been installed to monitor all vehicles going in and out of Emerald Park. In the event of a break-in at any of the houses in Emerald Park or any “ incident “ created by outsiders at the Guard House, we will be in a position to retrieve the tape to ascertain the course of events and assist the police to apprehend the criminals. To assist in this 24 hour surveillance, we request all drivers to slow down when you pass through the entrance and exit points at the Guard House.

  • A “hump” has been erected at the entrance point of the Guard House to make sure all vehicles slow down, to enable our security guards to verify whether cars going in have security stickers. If you are resident in Emerald Park and do not have security stickers, you have to pay the annual security fees of RM 360 and obtain security stickers for all your cars. If you are a visitor, you have to stop and allow the security guards to verify your status before you can enter Emerald Park. We seek the cooperation of all residents and visitors to assist the security guards to carry out their duties.

  • A panic alarm has also been installed at the Guard House. The purpose of this alarm system is to alert all residents in Emerald Park when there is an emergency such as burglary, fire, accidents, etc. In such an event, both the entrance and exit points into Emerald Park will be closed until the situation is brought under control. If there is an emergency in Emerald Park, please call the Guard House at 014 933 1493 to report the matter. If the security guards switch on the alarm system, cooperate in any way you can to assist in the emergency.
