Community Sustainable Initiative - SS5D

The judges went into a terrace house for their visit. It is not the chairman's house or shelter for any of the committee members. It is the Centre for SS5D Neighbourhood Watch. The once abandoned dwelling house is used for serving the community albeit as a temporary measure. The Committee approached the next of kin of the house owner who passed away for turning the house into community centre as they were not able to maintain it. To me, this bold move can become a learning curve for those community without a proper centre, always complain but yet do nothing. Some have even using the absence of a proper centre as an excuse for non-commitment.

Another milestone is having the correspondence number of service agencies and government departments printed and distributed to every households. I believe many residents will appreciate this handy gesture the most.
