Model Answer

A survey was recently carried out by the residents of Taman Amansuria. The
purpose of the survey was to find out the areas that require improvement within the
neighbourhood.
The main concern voiced by 42% of the residents is the lack of security in the area.
The cases of break-ins and petty thefts have increased drastically since the developer
began construction on the second phase of the housing estate. Many residents suspect
the construction workers of committing the crimes. Some residents suggested a
voluntary night patrol organised by the residents. Others suggested paying a nominal
fee to employ security guards to patrol the area.
Another major concern among the residents is the lack of greenery and public
parks in the area. 30% of residents expressed the need for landscaping and beautification
projects to be carried out as promised by the developer. Some of the residents also
voiced their dissatisfaction with the inadequate facilities at the children’s playground.
14% of the residents highlighted the unsatisfactory waste disposal system in the
area. They strongly recommended that the frequency of waste collection be increased
to at least three or four times a week from the current twice-weekly collection.
8% of the residents highlighted the need for more street lights, especially along
the main road leading to the housing estate and the playground area.
The remaining 6% mentioned minor issues such as the need for speed bumps on
the roads and indiscriminate parking by the residents.
The residents hope that the developer and the relevant authorities will take the
necessary actions to resolve these issues.
