The featured article was plucked from The Star, Metro Section, 6th June 2008. The residents in Kota Kemuning face the same challenge where we must go all the way to Section 11 (Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Shah Alam) to lodge police reports. And we do have a balai polis supposedly in Kota Kemuning. This is an unnecessary hassle to the residents.

Why have a police station in a housing area when you can’t make any reports in it?
This was the question asked by the residents of Pandan Perdana in Ampang, who expressed their frustration at having to drive all the way to Pandan Indah if they needed to file a report.
“There is no sense in having a police station that doesn’t function like one,” said Pandan Perdana Residents’ Association chairman A.C Lim.
Lim said the station took up the two shop lots on Jalan Perdana 6/8 which was formerly a car workshop, and renovation works at the premises started in February.
“The renovation work is still ongoing while the number of policemen on duty are usually one or two officers at a time,” said Lim.
A visit to the area recently confirmed that renovation was still going on but no workers were present and the premises was locked. A police officer stationed in the lot adjacent to the police station said that all reports had to be filed at the Pandan Indah station since it was better equipped.
However, he was not able to comment on the renovation.
Lim hoped to see the police station to be operational soon with more police officers on duty to curb the escalating crime incidents in the area.
