Neighbourhood Activities

The participants of the 2006/07 PJ best neighbourhood competition were asked to organise an activities of their choice between mid of May to August 2008. They have the choice to showcase to the visiting judges what they are best for and to convince the judges that they have met the criteria of community sustainable initiative. This is a major change that plan for this year event so that judges have opportunity to meet up the community at large, to dessiminate information about sustainable development to the residents, the bottom line for MBPJ is to recognise the efforts of the participating organisation by providing logistic and financial incentive to them organise the event. I am same the opinion that in order to instil excitement and encourage wider participation amongst the residents groups as well as expediting the process of educating general public on sustainable development, more outreach activities to engage the community at large is essential although the result might not be too encouraging. Nevertheless, we have to keep trying as sustainable development is a process for continuing improvement, right?
