Last year's winner for the PJ Best Neighbourhood Award, SS2B Neighbourhood Watch showed many innovations this year. Apart from continuing working closely with the disabled group and adopting the public garden, the neighbourhood launched a security scheme in complimenting with the voluntary patrolling service they have introduced last year. The proposed scheme will place the whole neighbourhood under high security alert. While some might have peaceful mind now knowing that the tendency of getting rob is lesser, i presume some might prefer not to have their routine daily life, big or small under close scrutiny.
Calender featuring important telephone numbers and contacts was printed and distributed to every household. I believe this is a good marketing exercise. Apart from that, a dedicated blog with update information on community activities was established. I think, this is the latest trend for community organisations to communicate with residents, and it is unavoidable. For an effective communication amongst community members with diverse socio-cultural background, all means of communication have to be applied. These can be door-to-door visiting, notice board at the public places, sms, e-mailing, newsletters, flyers and so on. Blogging and online chatting must be the order for future.
