Speed Bumps Most Appreciated......

Two speed bumps were recently build within the compound of Pearl Garden recently to slow down the vehicles. It is definitely a good move by the management to do so as we have children running in and out, and sometimes across the road too.

Another area which I hope management could consider building speed bumps is the multi-storey car park. Some of our residents do drive moderately fast at the location. Please remember, slow speed can kill too. A survey says that a moving car with a speed of 30 ~ 40 km/hr can be fatal.

I hope the management will continue to be attentive towards the safety of the residents, especially children. Well done.

Tennis Courts Need Repairs

The tennis courts at Pearl Garden are in a bad shape. The special coating is peeling off and it is slippery when wet and sandy when dry. It is hazardous to players and the management should take the necessary steps to restore the condition of the tennis courts.

To save cost, management should consider repairing one tennis court and convert the other to a basketball court. The basketball court can be cement rendered.

Security guard ‘slapped’ by ghosts at housing area

TAMIL Nesan front paged a report of a security guard who was said to have been slapped by ghosts in Port Dickson.

It said S. Albert 32, was making his rounds of bungalow houses in Taman Indah Mas at about 5.30am on Friday when he heard noises coming from a vacant unit.

He shone his torchlight through the window and was shocked to see mysterious white figure with red eyes and long hair.

Albert ran to the guards control room and inform his colleague who told him that his face had scratch marks and was bleeding.

Residents who got wind of the incident gathered with batons and sticks to check the empty bungalow but found nothing suspicious.

Policemen later broke the locks to enter the bungalow and found nothing unusual. The crowd were left stunned when the scratch marks on Albert’s face disappeared the moment he washed it with water.

This was reported in the Star on 27 July 2009.

Is this for real? Luckily, this did not happen at Pearl Garden.
