Recently a resident feedback that his car got vandalized again and made a comment that the RC, police, HDB and Town Council have been informed, there was nothing done. It was also mentioned that his car was vandalized a few times, over the past 3 years.
From the RC perspective, what can we do ? CCTV ? Citizens on Patrol in the middle of the night ? Probably in my opinion, we have to weigh the few points before taking an action, like ...
1) Frequency of Vandalism - if happens 5 times over 3 years, we can literally do nothing
2) Quantity of Vandalism - How many were affected at a go, or just one car ? if just one car, it could be personal grudge, in that case, we will encourage owner to install his own CCTV. If a few affected at one go, we may arrange some watch groups among the affected owners - ownership of problem and solving it together.
RCs members are volunteers, who have a heart to put in time to serve the community in many ways, like event organising, sharing of interests, helping the needy and also putting our best foot forward in promoting neighborliness.
We apologise it our RC have not done well in some aspects, but we are proud to have 3 long term features (24 hours hotline, this blogsite and monthly newsletters) that many RCs do not have, to keep us connected to our residents.
Our RC is not a "YES MAN" type of committee. Come and join us and experience the way our volunteers serve. It will be satisfying and fulfilling.
