| Posted: 04 Sep 2012 05:37 AM PDT After spending three quarters of the day away from home — attending to work, business and other pursuits, all you want is some peaceful time with your family. Unfortunately, this does not happen when you have inconsiderate neighbours that threaten to take away what you've enjoyed all these years. The common scenario begins with the gathering of youngsters and adults within the housing area. Most of the time they indulge in smoking, playing firecrackers, playing music and singing loudly and organising motorcycle shows. Because of this, there is no more peace and quiet in the neighbourhood. Some residents are even afraid to leave home while others feel restless while at wor as they worry about the security of their homes. Some have sleepless nights worrying about their safety. Are there laws prohibiting such activities? How can these be prevented once and for all? Who are the people involved in preventing such gatherings — the police, government agencies, neighbourhood watch groups? The presence of the police will temporarily disperse such gatherings but they normally regroup once the policemen are gone. Government agencies may be linked to the police but no enforcement is being established. The neighbourhood watch group is in a dilemma — if they take action, they worry that their properties will be vandalised. What is the solution for this? Can such situations be eliminated? Can we regain peace? Fellow Malaysians, let's brainstorm to manage inconsiderate neighbours once and for all. Free our neighbourhoods from distress and restore peace.
