The police cannot be everywhere,and so USJ 18 residents have taken the initiative to set up a neighbourhood watch to actively combat crime in their area,reports IVY SOON

THE gates are all locked, and few residents are seen outside their houses in the quiet neighbourhood of USJ18 in Selangor. However, there is little that happens here that goes unreported. People here are ever alert for suspicious characters and behaviour, and inform each other of what they have seen; for instance, the two well-dressed men in a blue Proton Wira, who drove up and down the street eight times, or the two young men circling their area on a yellow motorcycle.
