World Peace Day is celebrated worldwide on 21st September every year. Since early 2000, Taiping which means peaceful in Chinese has started the ball rolling in Malaysia by organising various activities and establishing a Peace Pole at the Lake Garden of Taiping.
MBPJ is fortunate to have personalities like Mr Sanggat Singh and Dr John Gurusamy who have promoted this Day tirelessly to the society of Malaysia to come to us. They suggested that a peace convoy carrying the Petaling Tree will be flagged off from Petaling Jaya to Taiping this coming 20th. Apart from that, plan for the long term is to have MBPJ to host the Peace Pole for Klang Valley. The Peace Pole, if successfully be erected will become a symbol of peace and harmony as well as tourist attraction. This is very much in line with the multi ethnic and cultural facet of PJ.
