This letter has been sent to our neighbouring university college, having the most population at our housing area.DATE : 15th May 2009
Dear Sir/ Madam,
RE : Students Staying at Desa Kolej, Putra NilaiOn behalf of the residents of Desa Kolej, we would like to draw your attention on the matters concerning students of your institute who are staying at our premise.
Desa Kolej has been identified as a housing area for the elites, with its strategic location between KLIA and Seremban, serves many types of demographic groups for this region. Many of the residents are working people and have family, of which most of them have children who are still schooling or babies.
With the grown-up students staying here in Desa Kolej, there have been many problems caused by them that tarnish the peace and harmonious of this place. We have no objection of the type of people staying here, but we would like to seek your kind consideration and cooperation to assist us, the Residents Association of Desa Kolej to bring back the healthy and peaceful environment of this area we once had.
We received numerous complaints from the residents regarding the students especially concerning the noise, manners and rubbish dumping problem. We regret to say that most students either local or international are not respecting their neighbors and do not bother the time to carry out any form of activities. They often make lots of noise by partying, shouting, singing, playing music, games and so forth at night and sometimes until the next morning, while the neighbors were struggling to catch up some sleep. Liquor bottles, cans, wrappers, food waste were just been dumped not only within the house compound but also in the drains and on the children playground, though they are not supposed to conduct any party on the children playground!
The international students, especially Africans have been marked as inconsiderate and reckless drivers. We appreciate if you could help us to avoid any casualty caused by them. They also seemed to be very proud with excessive volume of their car sound systems which cause unpleasant phenomenon to the neighbors.
We believe that the accommodations of some students are managed by your institute. For this, we believe that you would have ways to attend to the above-said problems. However, for the students who arranged their own accommodation here, we would like to suggest to your respective department to create awareness among the students, perhaps through students’ society to ‘
care and love their neighbors’. We are sure that other neighboring housing areas are also facing similar problems.
Should you need to have a dialogue between us to overcome the problems as said above, we are much delighted to come forward. It would also be a good idea to invite authorities into the dialogue to gain better input and feedback. Hopefully, an effective solution would be reached.
We are pleased to share our updates with you which is available on our website
