Safer Raya
Cops to check on vacant homes during festive break
Safer homes while you are away...Chief Inspector Sulaiman Baputty handing out the Balik Kampung form to a resident at the SS18 Ramadhan stalls. Looking on is MPSJ councilor Dr KM Loi.
RESIDENTS going away for the Hari Raya holidays can sign up early with the police to arrange for regular police visits to their homes during the coming festive break.
It's a simple task to have the men in blue visit homes left vacant during the festive holiday.
All residents have to do is fill up the Balik Kampung forms (which are also available at all the police stations) providing details of their trip away and when they will be back.
Once completed, just drop it off at the police station nearest to home.
During the time a house owner is away, police personnel will make regular visits to the house and dropping a visitation slip in the letterbox.
SS17 Subang Jaya head of station Chief Inspector Sulaiman Baputty said residents are advised to take advantage of this service by the police.
"This service is free. All you have to do is fill up the form and drop it off at the police station nearest to your home."
"All information provided is confidential," he said after distributing forms to residents who were busy shopping for their food to break fast.
Statistics over the past few years have shown a significant success in keeping crime rates down during the festive season with this Balik Kampung program led by the police.
"Residents should take advantage of this extra measure to keep their homes safe while they are away," MPSJ councilor Dr KM Loi said.
