Problem statement

Penang, like many Asian cities, is facing increased social and environmental problems caused by rapid urbanization. The city population is increasing due to rural-urban migration as well as the immigrant from outside country. The enlargement of urban areas has resulted in an increase in the problems, needs and complexities relating to urban governance. Local government capacity to provide basic necessities, such as adequate and safe pedestrian walkway, proper lighting to enhance the level of visibility during night time, bollard to cater illegal parking and other safety purposes is being challenged by the increased urban populations. The lack of these services has resulted in a deterioration of community health standards, as local areas face increased numbers of crimes happening.

As a result, the safe city programme focused towards crime prevention (basically those categorized by the police to be property crime i.e. snatch theft, house break-in, motor vehicular theft, motorcycle theft, van and lorry theft, and other theft.
Other dimensions of safe city example social and moral ills/decay, natural disaster (floods), and accidents in and out of buildings are not incorporated in the current programme – the emphasis been on crime prevention.

The significant of research study:
The output of research is a basic guideline into making the outstanding result of the implementation of Safe City Programmed concept to the community. It is to make sure a safety living environment for community by reducing the crimes activities.

Therefore, the study is to identify some of the aspects of community development of the Safe City concept in the Georgetown area in Penang.

“Menjelang tahun 2020, dianggarkan hampir 65 peratus penduduk di Semenanjung Malaysia akan mendiami kawasan bandar. Kawasan bandar merupakan penggerak dan nadi kepada ekonomi yang berkonsepkan teknologi. Kesan perbandaran di negara ini tidak terkecuali daripada masalah aktiviti-aktiviti globalisasi, antaranya ialah risiko kesejahteraan dan keselamatan yang tinggi kerana bandar tidak lagi mempunyai ciri-ciri yang selesa [conducive] untuk memberi perlindungan kepada kesejahteraan hidup [well being] manusia [Zainuddin bin Hj. Muhammad, 2000]”.

Jenayah di sempadan tidak serius

KUCHING 27 Nov. - Masalah jenayah yang berlaku di sempadan Sarawak, Sabah dan Brunei tidak mencapai tahap yang serius berbanding kes-kes di sempadan Malaysia-Indonesia.
Pesuruhjaya Polis Sarawak, Datuk Mohmad Salleh berkata, polis hanya menerima satu atau dua laporan berkaitan jenayah yang berlaku di sempadan terbabit.
''Jenayah yang dilaporkan itu pun cuma membabitkan kes kecurian kenderaan,'' katanya kepada pemberita di sini hari ini.
Beliau ditemui sebelum Mesyuarat Sempadan Tiga Wilayah 2008 di Mes Pegawai Kanan, Ibu Pejabat Polis di Jalan Badruddin di sini. Sarawak merupakan tuan rumah mesyuarat tahunan kali ini selepas Brunei tahun lalu.
Turut hadir ialah Pesuruhjaya Polis Brunei, Pehin Datuk Kermasetia Datuk Paduka Seri Zainuddin Jailani; Pesuruhjaya Polis Sabah, Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim dan Timbalan Pesuruhjaya Polis Sarawak, Datuk Hamza Taib.
Mohmad berkata, masalah kemasukan secara haram di sempadan Malaysia-Brunei juga tidak timbul berikutan penduduk menggunakan pintu masuk negara secara sah dan faktor ekonomi semasa yang tidak menggalakkan penghijrahan penduduk.
Bagaimanapun katanya, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) sentiasa mengambil langkah proaktif antaranya mengadakan Mesyuarat Sempadan Tiga Wilayah untuk berkongsi maklumat bagi mencegah jenayah.
''Kerjasama itu ternyata berkesan apabila Polis Brunei dan PDRM berjaya mengurangkan kadar jenayah di negara itu termasuk kes-kes penyeludupan.
''Penyeludupan itu wujud, tetapi masih di tahap minimum, apa yang penting ialah kerjasama berterusan daripada semua pihak terlibat supaya kita lebih fokus dalam menangani masalah jenayah ini,'' katanya.
Mohmad menambah, PDRM turut mengadakan Sukan Tiga Wilayah yang membabitkan penyertaan seramai 450 anggota dari ketiga-tiga negeri tersebut bagi mengeratkan jalinan setiakawan antara mereka.

Emergency Phone Service In St. John's University

There are clearly marked emergency phones located throughout the campuses. They can summon the Department of Public Safety, which will respond immediately. The phones are for emergency use only, which can be, but is not limited to: car trouble for which Public Safety can be of assistance; injury, especially when an ambulance is required; crime prevention, whether a crime is in progress or the potential for the criminal act is suspected; and need for the escort service.The Department of Public Safety is also glad to help if you have locked your car keys in your car or need a jump start.

Building Access For Each Campus In St. John's University

For each campus, as the utilization of a building diminishes during the day or evening, Public Safety locks the building. These buildings are patrolled throughout the night on a random basis to ensure the safety and security of the campus. The same procedure is repeated during the weekend hours. On the Staten Island campus, Public Safety locks many of the classrooms after the last class of the day.Exterior door access to a locked building is granted only on a limited basis of proven need. Public Safety is prepared to escort anyone to and from a building during non-working hours. Anyone entering or leaving a building during non-working hours is required to notify the Department of Public Safety.Students, faculty and staff are required to show a valid St. John's ID in order to gain entrance to the computer facilities, the University Center, Carnesecca Arena, the Libraries, Residence Halls and St. Albert Hall (after 11 p.m.) on the Queens campus and the Gym, the Campus Center and the Library on the Staten Island campus.

Bimbang Tebing Runtuh

KUALA LUMPUR 25 Nov. - Masalah hakisan sehingga menyebabkan keretakan pada tebing dinding rumah serta rekahan pada tebing longkang semakin membimbangkan penduduk Kampung Cheras Baru di sini.
Sejak kebelakangan ini, faktor cuaca menyebabkan masalah hakisan itu semakin teruk berikutan keadaan longkang terbabit yang sempit dan tidak mampu menampung aliran air yang banyak ketika hujan.
Keadaan itu menyebabkan air itu melimpah dan seterusnya mengakibatkan hakisan pada tebing longkang berkenaan.
Tinjauan Utusan Malaysia ke kampung tersebut mendapati, hampir kebanyakan longkang di kawasan terbabit mempunyai kesan hakisan.
Seorang penduduk yang ditemui, Yue Voon Seng, 39, berkata, rumah tersebut dibeli kakaknya sejak 10 tahun lepas, namun sejak beberapa bulan lalu, dia mengsan keretakan pada dinding rumahnya dan juga tebing longkang.
Katanya, keretakan pada longkang itu pula semakin membesar sehingga menyebabkan batu-batu mula jatuh ke dalamnya.
Jelasnya, sebelum ini, dia ada melaporkan masalah itu kepada Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) tetapi tiada tindakan diambil setakat ini.
"Keadaan longkang ini amat membimbangkan saya tetapi tiada tindakan diambil oleh DBKL, jadi saya buat aduan kepada MCA Bahagian Cheras pula.
"Tambahan pula, sekarang musim hujan, jadi saya sangat bimbang sekiranya tebing dinding tersebut akan runtuh," katanya ketika ditemui di rumahnya di Jalan Dua, Kampung Cheras Baru.
Seorang lagi penduduk yang ingin dikenali sebagai Rajesh, 34, memberitahu, sebelum ini DBKL pernah membaiki struktur longkang terbabit namun beberapa bulan selepas itu ia terhakis semula.
"Saya percaya hakisan ini berpunca daripada keadaan longkang tersebut yang sempit sehinggakan tidak dapat menampung kapasiti air yang banyak.
"Selain itu, kawasan ini agak bercerun menyebabkan aliran air sangat deras ketika hujan dan melonggarkan batu pada tebing longkang sehingga ia pecah.
"Saya harap DBKL dapat melihat melihat perkara ini dan membaikinya dengan segera," jelasnya.
Sementara itu, Setiausaha MCA Bahagian Cheras, Dr. Jeffrey Goh berkata, masalah tersebut bukanlah yang pertama berlaku di kawasan berkenaan kerana kawasan perumahan itu adalah kawasan kampung lama.
Katanya, memandangkan kawasan tersebut telah wujud sejak 45 tahun yang lalu, kebanyakan longkang-longkangnya telah berusia hampir 30 tahun dan strukturnya telah uzur.
Jelasnya, kebanyakan longkang yang terdapat di sekitar kawasan kampung itu sangat kecil serta tidak mampu menampung aliran air yang deras ketika hujan.
Jeffrey menambah, DBKL perlu memantau keadaan longkang di sekitar kawasan berkenaan bagi memastikan longkang-longkang di kawasan terbabit tidak terhakis akibat hujan sehingga menyebabkan tebing runtuh.
Beliau juga berharap DBKL mempunyai peruntukan khas untuk membaiki keadaan longkang berkenaan dengan segera.
Dalam pada itu, wakil Jabatan Kerja Awam DBKL memaklumkan bahawa beliau akan segera membuat laporan mengenai masalah itu dengan segera supaya kerja-kerja pembaikan dapat dilakukan secepat mungkin.
