Source: TheStar THERE was overwhelming response from StarMetro readers to our story on gated and guarded communities in Petaling Jaya entitled “Barricade City” which was published on Monday. Besides Petaling Jaya, we also received letters from readers staying in Subang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur and even Rawang, where most have come up strongly against the concept. [...]

Just to inform all readers and residents of Ara Damansara that it is less than a month before the lines are drawn, sign boards are up and there is no turning back. Do inform others to raise their opinion here. A mail I received: “I am concerning the above matter which will be enforced on [...]

Posted by LeeYK Source: Sun2Surf Oct 25 I AGREE with “Safe cities, not gated enclaves” (LocalCounsel, Oct 20). Dr Goh Ban Lee was kind to interpret the boom gates, cylindrical drums and guards to be just “unfriendly” signs. Living in a gated enclave in USJ11, feels like living in an internment camp.
