Empowering Resident Associations

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:10 PM PDT

The RA at my place in Puchong had a mooncake party in the common park last night. The conversation, inevitably, zooms in on Najib Razak's proposal to empower RAs and get them to promote patrolling activities in residential areas.

Did anyone of us expect this? To be honest, I didn't and (like Anwar Ibrahim) I was floored by the consideration that must have gone into this Bajet (except, unlike Anwar, I didn't denounce this Budget as not people-friendly). The people in my RA, who happen to be mostly Chinese, said they were utterly surprised and were full of praise of the unprecedented initiative.

Certainly, they too did not expect the government to give such a big recognition to RAs. If they had, they would have quickly registered our RA with the ROS before last Friday!

So, we agreed to start the process of registering the RA this week. RM10,000 will go a long way in helping RAs get the ball rolling. There are about 80 homes under our RA and we're paying RM130 a month for this and that, and we all think that the sum is about right and we shouldn't be paying more.

Thank you, Ajib Gor, on behalf of my RA. The money you have set aside for us will help us get that park bench we need well before our RA Christmas party. We had to make do without one last night ...

Here's to safe homes and empowered RAs!
