Who We Are?

On the 31st January 2008, the Selangor Registration of Society issued the Certificate of Registrar in approval of our formation. We are now known as PERSATUAN PENDUDUK BANDAR PUTERI PUCHONG 12, SELANGOR (0179-08-SEL). We are also a constitutional organisation where all our activities are governed by the “Akta Pertubuhan 1966 & Peraturan-Peraturan Pertubuhan 1984, Malaysia”.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation and thanks to those who have contributed towards the realisation of this achievement.

Probably to some of you, we are new, but with open arms, we welcome your participation in our Puteri 12 grassroots organisation. You can either contribute as members or volunteers. Your participation will transform this Association into a successful one.

Who we are?
We are your neighbours and residents surrounding Puteri 12. We are people who care, furthermore concern about the welfare of our neighbourhood and the people residing here. The Residents Association is actually run entirely by volunteers. These volunteers are simply residents of Puteri 12 and are, well, like yourself, live in Puteri 12, have a day job, go through daily traffic jams, have additional job in the evenings - as drivers to their kids, look forward to the weekends and public holidays, but somehow try their best to squeeze sometime for the Residents Association activities, which are mainly for you. All the Committee members (except for the full-time Secretary and Collectors) receive no allowances, whatsoever. They however do spend their own money for the Association at times, which we all should be grateful. When they are unable to donate funds, they still donate, by sacrificing valuable family time.

Among the regular activities of the Association, our committee members (about 30+ volunteers) keep an eye on our security through the appointment of security services, attend any break-in attempts when alerted by our security guards (mostly between 12am and 6am), explain to residents that the Association do not do garbage collection, attend meetings held during office hours because the developer and other government agencies insist on it, and many others, too long to mention here. Our Secretary himself works around the clock. He does not have regular working hours like most of us. He has to attend basically to all needs of our Puteri 12 residents, regardless they are members or not. At times, he is even called upon when our resident’s house-maid goes missing. In whatever situations or conditions, the volunteers were always there to help.

Why do we require a Residents Association?
We share the same common areas, roads, parks and recreational facilities. With these shared facilities we also share the same interest and responsibility of taking care of them by coming together and forming a Residents Association, to make sure our interests are protected.

While problems arise, opportunities to create a closer and caring neighbourhood also arises. It is up to us, the residents of Puteri 12 to create a friendlier and pleasant neighbourhood.

We do call Puteri 12 our home, right?

What are the advantages of a Resident Association?
  1. We work together to fight neighbourhood crimes such as snatch thieves, motor vehicle thieves, burglaries and break-ins. We don’t physically fight, but we prevent them from happening.
  2. We share one common interest of preventing crime. We get together our hard-earned income to hire and pay for security services, because most of us are too busy for “Rukun Tertangga”. Although, some residents who are non-contributors might take advantage.
  3. We have an advantage in working closely with the developer and authorities, to look after our neighbourhood interests.
  4. The Association act as a watchdog for our neighbourhood community.
  5. We have a cohesive voice in the interest of the community of Puteri 12.
    6. We establish a contact point to serve as a communication centre among the neighbours.
  6. We share resources and ideas to maintain or improve the community, cleanliness and security.
  7. We increase the value of the property by developing a safe and friendly neighbourhood.
  8. We volunteer for a good cause towards an enjoyable life in the community.

How many members do we have?
As of March 2008, 57% houses are already registered service members of our Association. Our existing service members are benefiting full membership privileges, with additional security protection services. The balances of 43% houses are non-members, but mostly still unoccupied. We always encourage non-member residents to join our Association. So if you are part of the 43% non-member residents, please grab a Membership Application Form, fill it up and join us today. The fee you will pay is not merely an unnecessary expense, but an investment. Think about it.

You guys are fantastic and what an assuring thought, to see all of you, so soft in gesture, so patience in actions, so much love in every move. Without stigma and without prejudice, servicing our community.
