Leadership in Practice (11)

It is never easy to command support and respect amongst residents especially so if all of them come from different culture and social background. Medan Jaya Flat, congregation of former development pioneers from various part of settlements in PJS is such an area that nobody has dare to give hope for a harmonious and united community. It was proven wrong during the visit of judges to this area last Saturday. The presence of people in supporting the Merdeka Gathering vindicated the above.

I believe Mr Md Bidin, the Chairman for the RA Medan Jaya Flat is the person behind it and make things happen. Ustaz as he is fondly known to the residents is a man never fail to ask for anything if it is for the good of the local community. Although lack of resources, he is one of the very few local leaders envisioned to bring changes to the community in big way and systematically. Perhaps in the near future, we will see a 2-storey community centre be constructed.
