Rubbish bin - mosquito breeding ground.

Ever wonder why there are so many mosquito at night? Well there maybe a few reasons like the construction at phase 8B, clogged drains, wet and dry season, etc...But I am pretty sure these rubbish bins (pictures) is one of the root cause. The rubbish bin at the playground along Jalan PP2/9 is cemented on the floor and cannot be removed.

Water collected during rain cannot flow out from the bin and become a constant breeding ground for mosquitos. Now it is normal mosquito but I just afraid that this is potential breeding ground for Aedes! I had filed an official complaint to the Majlis Perbandaran Sepang and see whether they will take any action. If not, then the next action would be to post this to newspaper or take action with my own hands like destroy this breeding ground!!! Opps....no...I can be sued for destroying public property. Well, will see how...

Taiwan grass

Please be careful when you are approached by an indian man claiming can plant Taiwan grass for a cheap cost. A resident of Taman Putra Prima 8A encountered such a person and agreed to engage him for the service and paid him a deposit sum. He started to clear the land area to make way for planting the grass but disappeared before getting to the planting part. He even issued an official receipt and provided a handphone number. The resident called the number but never get through. I thank you the resident who informed me and would like to warn all the residents not to fall into such a trap of paying 1st then only will start work. Be extra careful.

Have you paid?

Tomorrow 14 Dec is the last day that the guard house will be hired and operated by the developer. Starting on 15 Dec, either we have no security guard to open the gate for you or you will see continuation of the security guard which is paid by YOU who have contributed to the resident association fund. Have you paid? If not, get your cheque ready else it will not be the same again, next time around...

Looking for nice and cheap paint?

Probably one of the best price offered in town. Look for Petaling Hardware near HSBC bank opposite IOI mall. ICI Pearl Glo selling for MYR88/5 liters and ICI Pentalite selling for MYR78/5 liters. They do not sell Nippon paint....sorry Nippon paint fans!

Phone Line and Broadband

I think many residents are wondering why there are telephone poles at the backyard but TM still not yet install phone line. Well, TM is waiting for the quota to fill up before they will start installing phone lines. If you want a TM phone lines or broadband, you have to apply for it and the more peoples apply for it, the faster it will be connected. At least TM install the phone line poles first as I have heard stories - real stories about some developers do not allow TM to install phone line at their housing area.

David Choong who is one of our resident, and is a registered TM re-seller/Unifi installer, is keeping a close watch with TM on latest update on the service availability. I think we can count on him if he has first hand info or maybe engage him for TM service. Alternatively, you can try the Maxis broadband which work pretty well here which I am using. I checked that P1 WIMAX also available at our Taman but not sure about the signal and usage. Anyone have any experience with the alternative broadband while waiting for TM, feel free to share.
