Gotong Royong is to cover the areas within the section of a housing estate. This is what would be done. In the rule of thumb it shouldnt go beyond its boundary. It belongs to another section head to determine his own needs. Unless he wants to participate in joint operations to clean up the adjoining areas. Sometimes it is difficult to get these people to volunteer on a Sunday or public holiday to clean up their respective areas. Bearing in mind these people need rest or the usual clique to spend 'quality time' with the family ( I always wonder what happen to them every day....no quality time with family or friends?) The mindset always differ to offer assistance when it is required. It is something unfamiliar living in the city. You can't find many people come out to make a picnic in gotong royong. Days of the kampong life is going off to twilight. So when I was in Kota Kemuning I saw a notice asking the residents to chip in their times for gotong royong. I didnt see many people turn up. This section 104 is rich with people and professionals but the outcome wasnt encouraging. When the residents themselves didnt want to spend a few hours to clean up their own places, they wont get outsiders to help. I saw them cleaning up the playground only. I again wonder what about their own areas along the road...drains...perhaps side roads too...I hope next time the association can do a better job...It was the first time I saw them doing
Malaysia...in the kampong it is so easy for every one to come along then drinks and cookies/cakes sometimes fried mee/rice.....now nothing at all!
