KLANG:  New guidelines for gated communities in the municipality have been drafted and are awaiting approval from the state before it can be implemented this year.

The rules were jointly drafted by the Klang Municipal Council (MPK), the Housing and Local Government Ministry and the state.

“MPK urges all gated community residents to immediately apply for licences (after the new guidelines are implemented) to set up a gated community or the council will take action accordingly,” said councillor Lim Lip Suan.

It’s estimated that only 15 out of 146 gated communities in Klang comply with current state laws to regulate them.The majority have been set up illegally.

Lim said the new guidelines are meant to cover some “grey areas” in existing rules and the residents must continue to follow old guidelines.

Among the new rules are that access roads can only be closed between 12am and 6am and security guards should have toilet facilities.

Lim said the licence to form a gated community will only last for three years and the community will have to renew it after it expires.

The other guidelines are:

1  Any construction on state land requires a permit from the local council.

2 The local council will decide the maximum or minimum number of houses to form a gated community for regulatory purposes.

3 The gated community must not have public facilities such as schools, places of worship, community halls, stadiums and etc within its area.

4 Automated access cards are not allowed.

5 Vehicles will be allowed to enter or leave the area freely.

6 Restrictions must not be imposed on residents who do not join a gated community.

7 Developers or residents’ associations must apply for a permit to enact a gated community.

8 Must have approval of at least 85% of residents living in the proposed area.

Also at the press conference were MPK councillors Winston Phua, Lee Sack Choon and Tan Heng Kim.

Actually we can change from boom to tng gate later. This will also save cost of guard. Just one guard is needed per gate  with tng gate, can open two gate.

not really sure what a tng gate is? i know what a boom gate is.. something more high tech ?

Just got the same identical reply from Mr Zaili regarding the proposal.. after taking all the trouble to adjust/olah the karangan.. 

No need to olah karangan bro. Guarantee he knows we r from same group of people. Most of us here send identical letter..not to forget, inp follow our thread....hehehe

We definitely got their attention. Thats the first step

In short, building guard house is possibe. In fact they encourage to build proper one equipped with toilet.
Furthermore Pentas does not have any public facilities which is easier but they didnt not mention anything about fencing...
I worry some owner convert Pentas into kindie. Beside being sore eye - colorful, it may also jeorpadize  our chance to apply for Guarded Community.

I believe there is a rare chance for a kindi to operate at this rental rate.

Furthermore, they need the neighbourhood consent as well.

Ideally yes but as we have seen, there is 2 kindie in Canting. I don't think they get any consent from neighbourhood.  Do not rule out. We may face this kind of issue.

From the email reply from I&P, hope they are not adopting a delay tactic by throwing the ball to the pro tem RA and saying to check with higher level. In the email, we requested them to lead the whole process.

There is no guarantee that situation wont happen. But we we will try our best to ensure that wont happen. We need to give time to respond. After a certain date, takda ape2, we will try plan B and C and etc. My dad bought a bungalow from I&P in Alam Damai. 1st phase no retention will be built by I&P when it desperately needs it. After all influential people kept the pressure on them, they eventually listened. We must keep the momentum going!

I suggest.....

we shall make an official appointment to meet I&P.

Hi all,
I have also purchased a house in Pentas 3  . I would like to know if you guys will be having another gathering amongst house owners, I would like to join as well.
