THREE neighbourhoods in Petaling Jaya Utara made a clean sweep in the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) Best Neighbourhood Contest for 2007/2008.
The SS2B Rukun Tetangga (RT) came in top in the annual competition, bagging a RM50,000 development fund and a trophy.
Talented: Beautiful Gate Disabled Centre members performing during the Petaling Jaya Best Neighbourhood contest award ceremony.
The Kampung Cempaka RT came in second while the Taman Megah Residents Association (RA) was third, winning RM40,000 and RM30,000 respectively.
In his speech, PJ mayor Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman said the objective of the competition was to encourage community organisations to strengthen ties among residents and to work on activities that would improve the environment, increase economic development and reduce social problems.
Three other neighbourhoods which won the merit award of RM5,000 each were Taman Dato’ Harun PKNS Flats RT, Taman Mayang Jaya RA and Section 21 Sea Park RA.
Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim presented the awards to the winners.
Khalid advised the other local authorities in the state to organise such programmes to encourage the participation of residents in promoting sustainable development in their respective districts.
Three individuals were also honoured in the Best Local Leader competition. They are Indah Jaya RT chairman Osman Jamil, SS2B RT chairman Ngiam Chong Choy and SS5 Kelana Jaya RT chairman Sanggat Singh.
Ngiam and Taman Megah RA chairman Ong Thiam Hiong said they would channel the development funds towards better security in their neighbourhood, while Kampung Cempaka RT chairman Lee Meng Chong said he would use the funds for the welfare of residents.
Ngiam attributed the success of his neighbourhood to the pool of residents with special talents like lawyers and retired army personnel who were willing to contribute to the RT.
