This first timer took it seriously when it came to the judges visit on 31th May 2009. The briefing was done in Damansara Specialist Centre and it caused suspicious amongst the judges upon arrival. They were asking whether we have gone to the right place or not. After briefing, i believe all agreed that the Centre is the right place. SS22 Neighbourhood Watch has partnered the hospital in many community programmes in which smart corporate partnership is practiced here.
Another smart partnership worth mentioning is the community policing scheme with the Police Department. This pilot project brought the blue man closer to the community. Apart from stationing a police officer there, various activities such as art of self defending, horse riding, exhibition on security and etc were held.
Women role in community building and leadership is very visible with this community. Basically the top 4 posts are held by the women. More importantly, others adhere to command and demand for carrying out activities.
Another milestone is the understanding of sustainable development and the need for sharing and pooling of resources. They encourage other organisations to conduct 3R programme by promoting it amongst the residents. I think it is a good move considering that every organisation has their own role to play. It is pointless to compete with each others on resources distribution. I noticed that in some places with two or three organisations having their recycling programme, the achievement is normally very poor. Perhaps we must learn how to share and work together for greater results.
