Rukun Tetangga SS2B Newsletter

Issue No.2/11: - April 2011 - for residents of RT SS2B

Our RT SS2B in collaboration with MBPJ is working on an initiative to make SS2 a ‘Zone Bersih’. The joint project aims to unite all residents and the relevant authorities in continuing efforts to clean up and beautify our area.

We invite all residents to join us this coming Saturday 23rd April 2011 from 8.00am -11am at padang SS2/34, SS2/32 for a ‘Gotong Royong’ project. This event will be graced by Datuk Bandar and other dignitaries.

In addition to cleaning up the area, we will also be planting saplings (young trees) which will eventually replace the old ones. The trees to be planted will be tropical rainforest trees. The saplings have been generously contributed by one of our residents. We plan to plant about 60 trees on Saturday morning.

For those of you with bulky items for disposal, please note that on Saturday, Alam Flora will be making extra trips in the morning to remove bulky items. The normal garbage (including bulky items) and also recyclables are to be placed neatly in front of your house for collection.


Please note that starting from 6.00am in the morning , MBPJ fogging team will be going around our area.


8 a.m. - 11.00am Come to SS2/34,SS2/32 padang and watch the ‘Praise dance’ performance. This will be followed by a ‘Senamrobic’session. Please join us for some early morning warm up before we start ‘gotong royong’ and planting of trees. Breakfast and drinks will also be served. There will also be a demo on using kitchen waste to make compost. A light lunch awaits us when we finish.


How can you help?

1. Just be there at 8 a.m. to support, or take part.

2. Help to plant the saplings. Gloves will be provided. The ground will be dug up and all we need are for ‘hands’ to place the saplings into the designated spot.

So keep this Saturday free and join in this worthy effort to beautify and clean our neighbourhood. Who knows, you may be one of the lucky persons to win one of the 60 bags of fertilizers which will be given out as lucky draws, for those present on Saturday.


See u there ! !

Learn To Recycle Kitchen Waste...... on March 26, 2011

THE convenient way to discard used cooking oil is to pour it down the sink, but this will clog up the pipes and drains.

To learn how to recycle the grease, kitchen and garden waste, head to the sixth Organic Day on March 26.

The event, scheduled to be held from 8.30am to 2pm at the park located on Jalan 2/63, is organised by the Centre for Environment, Technology & Development (Cetdem) in collaboration with Slow Food Klang Valley, Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya, SS2 Selatan Residents Association and Rukun Tetangga SS2B.

A wide range of organic items — fruits and vegetables, seedlings, homemade bread and personal care products — will be on sale.

To learn more about organic lifestyle and sustainable living, visitors can sign up for future farm and garden visits, baking and cooking, farming and gardening classes organised by Cetdem.

A Python in our Neighbourhood??

A Python was seen crawling under the carriage of a car, parked at SS2/24.Owner was having Tim Sum at the corner shop. The Bomba was called, crowd gathered and the python crawled further in, being surrounded by noise. Driver was asked to drive car to Bomba. The Owner of car only drove car away, only a short distance..to SS2/30.

I went over only after being informed by our guards.By then, a large crowd had gathered again at SS2/30. I assisted by calling Bomba again, and Seapark Police to control crowd. Owner of car called a friend who is familiar in handling snakes.

The 'snake catcher' together with Bomba got the python out. Pictures tell the story.

How did a python of this size get into our area...is anyone's guess!
