Ara Damansara

We expected a crowd but the turnout today was totally beyond our imaginations. Close to 150 residents showed up equipped with wheel barrows, buckets, spades and changkuls. The crowd comprised of both young and old, men and ladies with good representations from the various phases of Ara Damansara: Attillia/Alissia, Casarina, Berkeley, Winchester, Palermo, Ara Vista and even residents from Crimson Condominium. I am sure there are many more from other phases as well as from other neighbourhoods too.

Today’s event, a success story itself, has a message for the party who put up the court injunction as well as for the father and son team. This link is here to stay and we will fight to keep it open. This is a public road for the convenience of all residents living on both sides of the link and no one has the right to prevent it from opening because of their very selfish reasons.

We like to express our appreciation to all who worked very hard today. Many helped out in various ways: shovel the earth, filling the buckets, carting the wheel barrows; filling the trenches; draining the water, leveling the surface; directing the traffic, supervising the works etc etc. You have just delivered a great community service today! We also like to thank the rest who came to provide moral support. Your presence are equally important demonstrating to the world that we have solid support from the community.

Now that we have made this stretch a safer place, we look forward to its early completion. We don’t expect any more surprises but we are always ready to respond in the event there is one.

Once again, thank you everyone for the wonderful response to this Gotong Royong call.

We are proud of you!
