（麻坡21日讯）麻坡秀丽花园被遴选为模范住宅区，昨早南方环境公司派送轮式垃圾桶奖励，而派出垃圾罗里车牌号码竟在昨晚开正多多头奖，数十居民发小财，惊喜连连。

昨晚多多开彩成绩公布头奖号码“8814”时，接到几位相识居民的电话，电话中可感受到居民的喜悦之情，相信是发了一笔小财，对方还问，“你中了多少？”，

没有想到，平时臭味令人避而远之的垃圾罗里车牌，也会有让人发财的一天。

话说，麻秀丽花园被麻坡市议会遴选为模范住宅区，并与南方环境公司配合，举行赠送轮式垃圾桶给170多户居民，每户一个，于昨天早上举行移交仪式，同时还派出“发财”垃圾罗里到场，由市议会主席阿都华合主持新垃圾桶动启用礼。

许多到场参与仪式的“安哥”“安娣”，见到罗里车牌“8814”便纷投注这心水字，因此，意外中了头奖，发了一笔小财。

据向居民了解，这些投注男女居民，多数是玩票性质，投注三几令吉，有者是50仙，但没料到马上开出多多头奖，让中奖者乐开怀。

不过，也有一些居民却“走宝”，因为只投注万能或四合彩，结果开在多多，而且还是头奖，成绩出炉，只有跳脚的份；有一些则不知是拿不定主意，或是忘了投注，昨晚看到开彩成绩纷“暗搥”不已。

今早，该花园居民个个带笑容，相信是“中”了不少，许多人还对这个心水字，谈论纷纷，心中喜悦神情表露无疑。

发财垃圾罗里爆胎

另一方面，这辆发财垃圾罗里昨晚因为剌中铁钉，导致其右后方内侧轮告爆胎，今早被迫休息修补轮胎，是不是因为开出头奖告“爆胎”，相信是巧合吧。

据了解，有关公司夜班归来的员工今早在公司办事处获悉罗里车牌开头奖的事，纷高淡阔论话题，冲淡了工作劳累的神情，相信领了不少的奖金。

 

 

Who says you can’t strike it rich in garbage?

By HAMDAN RAJA ABDULLAH, The Star page N3

MUAR: Many Taman Sri Maharani residents are richer, thanks to a brand new garbage truck.

Lady luck smiled on those who bought the truck’s registration number with Sports Toto 4D.

The number 8814 won first prize in the draw.

The truck was brought to the housing area by the Muar Municipal Council and Southern Waste Management on Sunday to demonstrate collection using the new wheel-garbage bins.

There, the residents also noticed the number on the registration plate.

Taman Sri Maharani Residents Association secretary Chua Teck Boon said many residents who bought the number could not believe their luck.

“Many thought it was a joke last night when someone said the truck’s registration number had hit first prize in the Sports Toto 4D draw.

“Some even rushed downtown to buy the 4D result slips and returned with a smile on their faces,” he said yesterday.

Chua, who does not play 4D, said some of the residents even wanted to look for the garbage truck in the morning just to give it a big kiss.

The truck was used by Southern Waste Management and the council to demonstrate garbage collection when they launched the use of wheel-garbage bins in housing residents in the area.

Council president Wahab Ridwan said many of the lucky residents called and sent SMS text telling him about their good fortune.

“It’s the residents’ luck and we are happy for them,” Wahab added.

 

Garbage on wheels for TSM

Garbage on wheels

By HAMDAN RAJA ABDULLAH, The Star

MUAR: Taman Sri Maharani here has been picked by Southern Waste Management (SWM) as a model housing estate to introduce the use of wheeled garbage bins in Muar.

This residential area of about 170 houses in Jalan Daud here received free bins from the company recently.

SWM group general manager Adnan Ibrahim said the company picked Sri Maharani as it had several excellent community-related programmes for residents.

 
User-friendly: Taman Sri Maharani Residents Association assistant secretary Tee Seng Chai (third from left) and Muar municipal councillor Helen Wong (second from left) looking at one of the bins.

“It is not very big and has a close-knit community where all residents regardless of race join hands in looking after the housing estate,” he said.

The area was also the first in Muar to launch a community policing programme, he said during a presentation of bins by Muar Municipal Council president Wahab Ridwan.

Adnan said Taman Sri Maharani was only the third housing area in the state to receive the bins in over a decade, after Taman Melodies and Taman Putri Wangsa, both in Johor Baru.

He said the two areas in Johor Baru started using the bins 11 years ago and the company felt it was time to introduce the system in Muar.

 

Works well: Residents Association chairman Koon Chew Fatt (left), Adnan (third from left and Muar Municipal Council president Wahab Ridwan giving the thumbs-up during a demonstration of waste collection by a truck

The new bin had the capacity to hold 120 litres of garbage compared to the regular 80-litre bin, he said, adding that the bigger size could reduce the number of collections.

“With normal bins, we have to collect at least three times a week, but with the new bins, we can cut the frequency to twice weekly,” he said.

Wahab said Muar residents threw out 250,000kg of garbage every day and more than 5% of the waste could be recycled or reused.

He said it was important for people to have a strong awareness about recycling and reusing items.

People should adopt recycling and reusing waste materials to reduce waste collection by 40% in the next five years.

Earlier, Taman Sri Maharani Residents Association secretary Chua Teck Boon commended SWM and the council for making the housing estate a model residential area in Muar.

He said the residents were happy to receive the bins and pledged to co-operate fully with the council and SWM in utilising the system.

“We will ensure that all the residents use the bins as instructed by SWM and will recycle and reuse waste materials,” he added.

（柔佛‧麻坡）麻坡模範花園－秀麗花園於週日（12月20日）趕上環保列車，正式推介使用有輪垃圾桶。

在柔佛州，秀麗花園是第3個使用有輪垃圾桶的花園住宅區，惟在麻坡它是首個使用的花園區。

週日上午，麻坡市議會主席阿都華合為秀麗花園使用有輪垃圾桶主持推介禮。

這項活動是由麻坡市議會及南方環保有限公司聯合推行，贈送170個有輪垃圾桶予此花園區所有住戶。

出席推介禮者尚包括馬華市議員黨鞭馮嫊嵐、南方環保有限公司集團經理阿迪南及馬華市議員，以及逾300名居民。

170民宅擁有輪垃圾桶

在秀麗花園居民委員會的積极說服之下，此區共170間民宅擁有輪垃圾桶，待垃圾車前往收集垃圾時，才從屋內推出有輪垃圾桶，即衛生且環保。

要所有居民皆使用有輪垃圾桶非易事，一些居民會有抱怨及意見，不過，秀麗花園的居民卻做到了。誠如馮嫊嵐表示，此花園區的居民非常團結，加上居委會給予講解與說服，實行使用有輪垃圾桶的計劃才能進行。

她強調，此花園區被選為模範花園，若無法進行上述計劃，其他花園住宅區更沒有可能進行有關計劃了。

為此，她希望麻縣其他花園住宅區能以秀麗花園為榜樣，為環保獻力。

馮氏也說，環保必須從社會與家庭教育化著手，以達到其效果。

她指出，就以市議會來說，該部門在任何慶典或活動上，都棄用寶麗龍飯盒，改用由油棕渣製成的飯盒。

雖然油棕渣製成的飯盒較寶麗龍飯盒貴一角，但卻會腐化，非常環保。

麻5年內盼減40%垃圾量

麻坡市議會主席阿都華合表示，該會期望麻縣在五年內，能夠將垃圾量減產40%。

他說，週日，麻縣於每一天製造了250公噸垃圾量，產量极為驚人。

他宣佈該部門將撥款1萬令吉，充作建造秀麗花園後段一片空地為多用途球場之用途。

模範花園區居民
獲贈有輪垃圾桶

南方環保有限公司集團經理阿迪南指出，至今，柔佛州已有3個花園住宅區推行使用有輪垃圾桶計劃，而所有獲選的模範花園區居民，各可獲贈一個有輪垃圾桶。

他說，公司經於1998年免費送出3500個有輪垃圾桶給新山區兩個模範花園住宅區。

Muar shows how it's done

Muar shows how it's done

Balai Polis Bergerak in action along Jalan Ali,Muar



THE people of Muar are feeling safer these days because of the strong presence of police personnel on the streets, especially in areas hard hit by crime. It has somehow boosted public confidence and given local businesses a better sense of security.


The Muar police force has been quite innovative in its strategy to reduce street crime. The police's latest strategy is Balai Polis Bergerak -- a cute mini police station on wheels.


This mobile unit, mannned by two police officers, is constantly on the move between crime hotspots in Muar town. It has an open-door policy to allow the public to make inquiries. Not surprisingly, it has been welcomed by all.


While such police initiatives are to be welcomed, the public, too, should be proactive in preventing crime. Malaysians in general should abandon their tidak apa attitude and not depend solely on police for protection. In fact, crime prevention is a shared responsibility. Everybody has a duty to work smart along with the men in blue to prevent crime.

Look! The doors are open. This open- door policy means every citizen can make enquiry on the spot.

One way to do so is form a residents' association and link up with the local council. The Muar municipal council recently announced a subsidy of RM300 per year for residents associations that are proactive in crime-prevention measures.

Regular patroling around housing estates in Muar.

Roping in Rukun Tetangga and Rela is another alternative. But by far the best option is to have local residents, young and old, to collaborate with the police and the local council in a community policing (CP) campaign.

 

Under the dynamic leadership of Muar police chief, ACP Mohd Nasir Ramli, community policing is getting popular among the locals. As the district police chief has pointed out, residents are like the eyes and ears of police.

A 20 per cent reduction in crime nationwide, as envisioned by the Home Minister recently, will become reality only if the public and the police can see eye to eye and work hand in hand with total sincerity and mutual trust.

I sincerely hope that the strong presence of police will become a permanent feature in Muar town.

Crack down on cyber cafes in Muar

Good move by council  

(this article is written by a peace loving Muarian,Kent Chua and published on NST dated 02 December 2009)

Briefing by Muar OCPD to officers of PDRM,D.O office and MPM. Looking on were municipal council president, fellow councillors and Muar Assistant Distrcit Officer.



I WOULD like to congratulate the Muar Municipal Council for rejecting 14 new Internet cafe licence applications, and to review the existing 42 licences recently.


Council president Abdul Wahab Ridwan and all the municipal councillors stood firm on the issue.


We trusted the judgment of the council on this matter because, under a directive by the Housing and Local Government Ministry dated 2004, all local and municipal councils had been asked to freeze new licences for Internet cafes.

Rows of bicycles parked infront of the premise at 1a.m in the morning!! Wonder who's kids were missing from the beds at home?

Many of those outlets had abused the stipulated conditions and flouted the laws by operating and allowing entry to children below 18 years of age.

Muar municipal council president (on blue cap) advising the children not to be addicted to video games. A total of 23 students were advised to return to hostel after 2 a.m!

These youngsters who were addicted to the games would mix with bad influence and turn into bad apples.

Under the new directive, all applicants have to seek approval first from the local area councillors or community leaders, and then obtain the green light from the police and the Fire and Rescue Department.
