SS23 or commonly known as Taman SEA is not a planned gated and guarded neighbourhood, yet the presence of barricade at all main exit points and security guards at the various check points days and nights make it a protected community. The security scheme is so successful that crime rate has reduced and non-committed residents have started participating in this well-organised scheme.
The Neighbourhood Watch has also designed a blog for communicating with the residents, apart from appointing zone and street representatives to disseminate and receive information. The approach of engaging residents via every road representatives is very effective as residents of next door would normally more friendly incline to any information or requests for help. It is very difficult to discuss mutual issues or even to start a conversation if both parties are not very familiar with each others. For example, collecting the service fee for security is easier through the road representatives rather than someone they might only meet once a while.
