Residents Association - Backbone of a Community

Gated and Guarded residences seem to be the preferred option for most folks living in the city these days, due to mainly safety concerns. And if you want your housing area to be gated and guarded, you are required, by law, to establish a Residents Association (RA), to run said operation. But is the function of a Residents Association limited to just that? We speak to the Chairman of Residents Association of Taman Putra Prima 8A, Puchong to find out RAs’ other roles in small communities, and whether they’re also able to bring back that communal spirit, thought to be long gone in modern times.
