Please do not implement or consent to informal "GnG" housing scheme in your own neighbourhood. If it is not a legal gated community, don't go and start an illegal one. Fyi, not everyone wants to live in a gated or guarded community. Please do not impose your values on others. Don't try to form an RA to coerce residents into signing up illegal gated or guarded scheme please!
If you want to live in a gated community, there are many legal and proper "GnG" developments in Selangor. If your concerns are privacy and security, then by all means move to a proper "GnG" residence. There are many renowned award-winning developers such as Sime Darby Property that are offering top-notch security features that come with perimeter power fencing, CCTV surveillance, visitors management system, 24-hour guard patrolling system, emergency panic-button, call-assist, etc...There are plenty of legal GnG residences in Selangor you can call home. Please go find one okay!
+++++
To the RA - please follow the guidelines given by MPKlang, and inform your security guards accordingly! Please respect our rights as half of the residents here did not agree to having a gated community.

What the Local Council (MPKlang) initially approved for Guarded Neighbourhood schemes here now have become illegal Gated Communities. How?
It is because corrupt RAs have gone against the Town and Country Planning Dept (Plan Malaysia- JPBD, KPKT) and the Local Council's guidelines, flouting laws to implement their own version of the scheme without sufficient consent or approval. This has also being spelled out clearly under the National Housing Board guidelines.
Currently, corrupt RAs are taking advantage of the massive confusion in the Gated and Guarded Community schemes to operate whatever schemes they want whichever way they want without any regards for the laws and the rights of others.
Unscrupulous RAs have turned these guarded schemes to illegal gated communities by implementing prohibited procedures such as blocking public roads, guards asking the public for ID (such as Driver's License), implemented auto access card system the majority of residents do not want and making us pay monthly 'security fees' ...now, this is the problem!
The above procedures introduced by the RAs are clearly against the laws in normal terrace houses residences under the jurisdiction of local councils. This type of informal gated communities run by RAs are divisive, a hindrance to the community and a nuisance in today's society.
Some say this type of illegal "GnG" only benefits the black market or syndicates - profiteering under the guise of providing neighbourhood security.
And since when is the RA allowed to implement auto access card system in a guarded neighbourhood scheme without sufficient consent and approval? Why did the RAs implemented it despite illegal to do so? This is not a legal gated community (this is only a guarded neighbourhood).
Even though this has been spelled out clearly in the guidelines, unscrupulous RAs still blatantly disregarded it. Is there an element of corruption along the process, or the RA simply think that they can do whatever they want?
It's time we all reset the system. Let's do away with corruption, abuse of power and respect the Rule-of-Law. 'Little Napoleons' have no place in our society.
Is it legal or is it illegal? It's time we all reset the system. Let's do away with corruption, abuse of power and respect the Rule-of-Law. 'Little Napoleons' have no place in our society.
We all (RAs, Municipal Councils and residents) should standardize and follow the guidelines set by the Town and Country Planning Dept (PlanMalaysia, JPBD KPKT, Malaysia).
At the same time, the respective Municipal Council must enforce the guidelines proactively and take action on RAs that don't comply. Not wait until reports /complaints being lodged. ("Authorities will turn a blind eye as long as no official complaints received" - is not acceptable anymore) !!
Due to the lack of enforcement by the authorities, it's no longer just guarded neighbourhoods but have become illegal gated communities.

Is your RA chairman an ethical law-abiding chairman or a GnG conman?
Dear Residents of Informal GnG,
How do you know whether your RA chairman is an ethical law-abiding-citizen chairman or a corrupt conman?
Your chairman is a conman when he breaks multiple laws to implement his own GnG scheme so that he can collect monthly fees (some call it toll, others would call it protection money) from the community.
Your chairman is a conman when he blocks public roads and then start collecting monthly security fees 'toll' from the community, in the name of neighborhood security.
Even though the property developer have clearly stated that the residence is not a gated community, your chairman still want to operate an illegal scheme taking advantage of the grey area and the residents' lack of knowledge in this subject.
Your chairman is a conman when he failed to inform the community the type of scheme that they are only allowed to operate is a guarded neighborhood scheme, not a gated community scheme.
Your chairman is a conman when he failed to inform the residents on the differences between a guarded neighborhood scheme vs. a gated community scheme.
Your chairman is a conman when he failed to inform the residents on the differences between a formal gated community scheme (under private/ strata residences) vs. an informal gated community scheme.
Your chairman is a conman when he operates a guarded neighborhood scheme as if it is a proper gated community scheme. Both schemes are very different, one is legal but the other is actually illegal. (Comparing an illegal scheme to a formal GC scheme is like comparing an apple to a pineapple).
Your chairman is a conman when he failed to inform the community of the limitations of an informal scheme.
Your chairman is a conman when he never inform the community what they "can and cannot do" under the local council guidelines while operating an informal scheme.
Your chairman is a conman when he instructs his security guards to stop and ask people for ID (such as MyKad or Driver's License), even though it is against the laws.
Your chairman is a conman when he instructs his security guards to block the community or anyone that did not join his illegal "GnG" scheme. (Not having a residents' sticker or access card does not give RA the right to stop and check anyone - it is illegal, unlawful and an offence to do so).
Your chairman is a conman when he implements the prohibited card access system in non-private residences without sufficient consent and approval.
Your chairman is a conman when he breaks the laws to stop the community from moving in and out freely. (It is illegal and unlawful requiring residents to register at the guardhouse every time; it is also unlawful to stop the surrounding communities from access).
Your chairman is a conman when he has no regards for the laws, the rights of others and he thinks the entire residence belongs to him.
Your chairman is a conman when he does not uphold "the rule of law", has selfish agendas, and he imposes his beliefs, values and preferences on others.
Your chairman is a conman when he hires security guards without the proper license and requirements by KDN.
Your chairman is a conman when he indirectly forced the community to subscribe to his illegal scheme. Your chairman is a conman when he implements the scheme without sufficient consent and without any objections.
Your chairman is a conman when he doesn't organize the yearly Annual General Meetings for the residents and does no other community work for the community except for his GnG scam.
Your chairman is a conman when he fails to fulfill all requirements by the Registrar of Societies such as the yearly submissions of accounts, audits and AGM minutes of meetings to the ROS.
Your chairman is a conman when he never seek any recommendations or approval from the PDRM District Police Officer before implementing his "neighborhood security" scheme.
Your chairman is a conman when he never considers Rukun Tetangga scheme or Skim Rondaan Sukarela SRS as another option for the community. (He is not interested in KRT because it is FOC for the community - he can't make money from it.)
Above all, your RA chairman should have been more transparent first on the laws, guidelines, rules and regulations of what an informal scheme can and cannot do - and then let the community decide whether they want to sign up or not; not coerce them into joining without any knowledge whatsoever.
If your chairman didn't do this before implementing his "GnG" scheme, then he is more likely a conman.
Why the people don't see it even though this is so obvious... is mind boggling. Those who still condone to this sort of selfish GnG scam still need a bit of enlightenment. Perhaps they need more time...
For the many, not the few!!

Below paragraphs enlarged for your ref *(Source: Plan Malaysia, JPBD KPKT - 2019 GP009 Garis Panduan Perancangan dan Penubuhan Skim Komuniti Berpengawal Perumahan Bukan Strata):
*(Terima kasih & Penghargaan kpd Plan Malaysia - Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa, KPKT Malaysia)
Semua syarat di atas ade buat ke takde? Semua pihak Persatuan Penduduk (RA) yang mengendalikan skim komuniti 'G&G' di perumahan bukan strata haruslah beretika dan beradab bukan biadap.
Semua syarat-syarat dan garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan oleh pihak berkuasa mestilah diikuti dengan sepenuhnya... tapi nampaknya hampir semua Persatuan Penduduk (RA) di sini korup sebab mereka langsung tidak ikut garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan.
Disebabkan pihak RA tidak mengikuti syarat-syarat dan garis panduan yang telah ditetapkan, maka skim mereka telah menjadi skim G&G haram. Sudah tiba masanya PBT mengambil tindakan tegas.
Cukup-cukuplah... sekian.
Salam 1 Malaysia, Salam Perpaduan
dan Salam Malaysia Madani

Due to the lack of enforcement by the authorities, it's no longer just guarded neighbourhoods but have become illegal gated communities everywhere!
They do not follow the guidelines on what they can and cannot do. And this has resulted in lots of problems for the communities.
There are also some RA committee members that are not clear themselves... what more about the residents!
In a recent survey, the majority of the residents do not want to pay monthly fees to maintain any illegal G&G scheme anymore! It's time the residents look into this problem seriously.
Attached below the full guidelines for your ref...
