It is very tricky to get formal clearance from local authority to put up the fence. The current rule/by-law does not favor us putting up the fence- despite the pro out weight the cons.
Naturally, the IJM does not want to make such promise to avoid getting into a sticky situation that ppl accuse them of empty promises, breaking promises etc. After all- the fence was never mentioned in the S&P.
Trust me- if IJM could manage the authority proper to get the fence up, they will sell it with the fence feature with extra 30k premium per house. Easy money.
Now- how to proceed. i could share my experience and done it before at my area- Sunway Kayangan.
As jeg said... do it via RA - although there would still be hard to get proper clearance from local authority... we still could proceed and they would close one eye on humanity ground. Unlike IJM, we do not fear about bad publicity and such.
The issue is funding- we could make pledge to IJM to assist to partially fund this. Their funding is to RA, thus not directly sponsoring the fencing. We will have to chip in the balance.
A good security fence would be around Rm 200 per meter run. Say for the phase 1- it would be around 1000- 1500 meter- cost Rm 200- 300k.
It seems a lot, but if we could get everyone of the 400 plus tenant in then it would be easier.
rm1000/house is reasonable for me to build up the fence but wonder if everyone is willing to pay.
