Community Sustainable Initiative - Kg Lindungan Indah

While We always hear about "Ibu Tunggal" or single mother as emerging problem in our society, we have always joked about the existence of "Bapa Tunggal" or single father that need attention as well. Perhaps this is not the case.

The Judges met with the committee members RT Kg Lindungan Indah last Sunday. Few of them are actually widower. They spent many hours until the wee hour in their beat base for patrolling and social networking. From their expression, I presume they are happy than ever of having the opportunity to meet and chit-chat with their peers without interruption from the home. I presume they do not need special attention, but guidance to teach them to utilise their time to the fullest and more productive for the community. For example, conducting tuition and inter-generational activities with younger adults.

If we have many single fathers with the luxury of time and experiences to volunteer themselves for inter-generational community activities, I believe the social ills involving the children and youth we are experiencing at the moment can be minimised.
