USJ Residents' Association

[birdy]

Is there really a USJ Residents' Association? How can we as a resident join this association, if any? Any prequalify criterias?

Like any new neighbourhood, the early settlers in USJ faced a multitude of problems from lack of public transportation to petty thefts and break-ins and poor service from the local authority. This is also because at the initial period when the community is still very young, there was no concerted effort to deal with the local council and the police.

To tackle these issues, a Residents Association was formed in July 1991, with Arthur Lee as the protem committee Chariman. Other members included, Lee Peng San and Tony Xavier. Regular meetings were held at the Chairman's residence to address and tackle the various issues faced by the residents, with the support of the police as well as the developer.

The preliminary success of the Association prompted members to register it with the Registrar of Societies. Tony Xavier, the protem committee Vice Chairman, was handed the task. The formation of USJ Residents Association was approved by the ROS in October 1993.

Since then the RA has been diligently involved not only in tackling problems faced by residents, but also in organising events for the community.

Tony Xavier, the first elected chairman of USJRA says, "It is our hope that the RA will grow in strength for the benefit of the residents".

Wow, a very brief yet informative explanation given. Good work Chairman! I would be glad if you can let me know the followings :-

1. Why we should be a member?
2. How active is this committee, hmm...I mean do all members or committee meet up regularly (say weekly or monthly) to discuss on issues?
:p

[birdy]

I have email to the committee asking for the membership application form but seem no response?

Can I suggest to put the application form online in PDF format..so that people can download and print easily.

Also, why no one can answer my 2 questions above?
