Gotong-Royong Call
Dear Ara Damansarians,
We are shocked and upset why anyone initiated such an act to dig two trenches across this almost complete stretch of road linking Ara Damansara with Tropicana. It is an idiotic act putting all road users in jeopardy. As street lightings has not been turned on yet and there are no warning signs, some motorists have suffered damages to their cars and at least one motor-cyclist had injuries when his motor-bike fell while crossing it.
As responsible citizens and being good neighbours, we want to ensure there are no further injuries or damages to our vehicles. Therefore, this is a call to all Ara Damansarians as well as residents of surrounding neighbourhoods to come forward to participate in a gotong-royong exercise to re-fill the trench and level the road again.
Date: August 14th 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 5.30pm – 7 pm
Venue: you know where
If you are a user of this stretch, please come and offer your labour. Even if you do not use this stretch, please come and lend your moral support. For those who are very kind, you may want to bring some cold drinks to share.
If you plan to participate in this exercise, we need you to bring along some tools (spade, changkul, buckets) plus rocks. Look around your house and playgrounds and I am sure you will find many small rocks and stones lying around. Collect them in a bucket and bring them to fill up the trenches. We will place the bigger rocks at the bottom with the smaller ones on top. We will then complete the surfacing with the pile of gravel at the site.
As the work is expected to be dusty, please bring along some face masks, some drinking water and some towels.
There will not be a single leader for this gotong-royong exercise. Whoever arrives first can start and the rest of us can join in. Should there be rain, we will postpone the exercise to Sunday evening.
We are proud to be residents of Ara Damansara and I am sure we can count on your support to make our neighbourhood a safe place to live in.
I hope we have a good crowd tomorrow. See you all!
