"Criminal everywhere" means criminal everywhere including at other places also lah... Not criminal everywhere in Elmina. That would be very bad.

EG1 & EG3 are NOT strata title where it can be made gated like a private area. Not everybody like strata title where we need to pay considerable amount for maintenance.

EG1 & EG3 are under MBSA maintenance and as such, ideally, cannot be made gated i.e. since we use public funds for maintenance, that place must be accessible to public.

However, gate and fence can, technically, be build by owner association on security ground. Security is always top priority and suara rakyat should not be denied. That's why owner association is the one that need to apply to MBSA and not the developer. MBSA will not layan the developer. Developer can help to build the gate and fence once owner association get the approval from MBSA. With the approval, the maintenance for the area will still be under MBSA and we just pay affordable security fee to owner association for the guards.

But if I understand correctly, even with the gate, we cannot deny public from accessing the area. We can just record their entry and exit.

For higher security level, then opt for strata development lah... But it will come with higher monthly fees.

Yes your are right. Once it is gated, outsiders will get the impression that they are not welcomed and that the gated area is exclusive to the residents only. Good for the community.
