Rukun Tetangga SS25A, PJ in which i am one of the committee members initiated a tree planting campaign last Saturday in conjunction with the World Environmental Day Celebration. Apart from celebrating the day, the aim is to create an impressive GREEN frontage and entrance to the neighbourhood. The program started at 9am, an hour late due to the late delivery of plants by MBPJ. Nevertheless, the planting went well although none of us are professional or have done a street garden before. About 100 trees include the hibiscus and palm trees were planted at the junction of Jalan SS25/4 and Jalan SS24/1.
To me the most significant part of this exercise is at last and finally the Committee took the Green Initiative for the first time in our history. If more and more community based organisations come forward and plant trees, i believe it is within reach for MBPJ's One House One Tree Campaign and Tree Planting Programme.
The question is shall MBPJ be more proactive of engagement the CBO to initiate the planting campaign or rather than waiting for proposal or even proposal does come in but hurdles are placed to "make it" difficult to continue planting or to do it with our own staff only. Why don't provide them sufficient facilities and support for a greener PJ?
