Just now got one police road block at the Pesiaran Indera Kayangan in Taman Wawasan, at the big park with the milo lake.  Are the cops looking for something in particular or are they just putting the fear of god into bad 'uns generally?

Police bust robbery syndicate

PETALING JAYA: Police have smashed a syndicate, believed to be from the “Mamak Gang”, that has been robbing people who withdrew large sums of money from the banks.

Members of a special task force raided the syndicate’s hideout in an apartment in Pusat Bandar Puchong on March 22. Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said, during the 4.20pm raid, police arrested three men aged 22, 31 and 47. The eldest, believed to be the gang’s mastermind, has 25 previous criminal records and seven outstanding arrest warrants. Police also seized several BMW, Toyota Lexus and Honda Civic cars that were reportedly stolen between Jan 18 and Jan 22.

The gang is believed to have used the cars, fitted with fake number plates, to carry out their criminal activities in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor. Various items such as machetes, computer laptops, police logos, handcuffs and more than 15 false number plates were also recovered from the suspects. DCP Tun Hisan said the syndicate had been active since last year and was reported to be involved in 53 robbery cases in Selangor, causing losses amounting to more than RM2mil.

He added that the gang would use similar methods to rob the bank customers by getting an accomplice to look out for those withdrawing huge sums of money. After identifying the target, the “observer” would inform his accomplices waiting outside the banks. They would then trail their victims. “The suspects would block the victims’ cars before robbing them,” he said, adding that they would usually smash the car windows before escaping with the cash. “The victims never realised that they were being trailed because the suspects used luxury cars,” he added.

DCP Tun Hisan said the suspects had also impersonated policemen, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Com-mission, Road Transport Depart-ment, Immi­gration and Custom Depart­ment officers in several of the incidents. DCP Tun Hisan urged bank officials to alert the police if they were to see anyone behaving suspiciously in their premises.

RM74m for upgrade of LDP to ease traffic flow

SUBANG JAYA: Motorists who have to bear the daily grind of snarling traffic, especially in the morning rush hour and after-office hours along the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP), can expect to see their traffic woes easing.
Lingkaran Trans Kota Sdn Bhd (Litrak), the concessionaire of LDP, will be spending another RM74 million under the LDP 5C package to upgrade the traffic flow at Puchong.

Litrak chief executive officer Sazally Saidi said the project which would begin this May was expected to be completed by February 2013.


The project at the LDP will include the segregation of lanes, road widening and building of a flyover.


Sazally said the upgrading project will separate the main southbound traffic heading to Bandar Puchong from the local traffic heading towards Bukit Jalil from PJS toll plaza in Bandar Sunway. This allows motorists to bypass high local traffic concentration to get to Bandar Puchong Jaya.

The separation will replace the existing Contra Flow scheme from PJS toll plaza with the construction of a new flyover adjacent to the existing flyover from IOI Mall to Sunway.


The slip roads which are bottlenecks at Jalan Kenari 11, Persiaran Puchong Jaya Selatan and Bandar Puchong Jaya will also be expanded.

The concessionaire will also expand the five-lane highway to eight-lane, beginning from Onking Electrical Store on Jalan Kenari 11 to Persiaran Puchong Jaya near IOI Business Park.

When completed, the main southbound traffic from Sunway/PJ at the PJS toll plaza will be segregated from the local traffic, hence bypassing the congested areas between Jalan Kenari 7 and Persiaran Puchong Jaya Selatan in Bandar Puchong, ensuring motorists enjoy a shorter travel time.


Sazally said the upgraded LDP once completed will be able to reduce traffic congestion by 40 per cent

"When the LDP was opened in 1999, only 40,000 vehicles used the highway at Bandar Puchong Jaya daily, but now after 10 years of operation, the traffic volume has increased to 400,000 vehicles per day.

"Of that number, 140,000 motorists pass through the Sunway/PJS toll plazas while 180,000 motorists pass through the Putrajaya and the USJ/PJS toll plaza daily," he said.

Sazally also said Litrak has spoken to the Subang Jaya Municipal Council on acquiring land for the road widening project.

"To facilitate the project, we will have to acquire land, relocate the bus stop in front of the Puchong Jaya Maybank.

"We hope the local authority will facilitate our request," he said.

I got 3.5 HP worth of airconditioning downstairs, covering the living, dining and kitchen areas, pau kaliau wan.  These past few days, it's a matter of survival, not a luxury liao.  Luckily, even without airconditioning, my downstairs tends to stay fairly cool-ish.  But I feel this year's heat not so bad as last year's; so far lah.
