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.

MBPJ development planning director Noraini Roslan said they were expecting 3,000 visitors at the event.

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!

PETALING JAYA: In a move to get to know the community better, Sea Park police officers went on meet-and-greet in SS2B here this morning.

This is the first project launched by the Petaling Jaya district police to distribute their sector cards, listing the names and telephone numbers of the officers in charge of the area.

The residents responded positively by welcoming the five officers to the area.

Petaling Jaya district police chief, ACP Arjunaidi Mohammed, said: "The sector cards, which are similar to business cards, will make it easier for the public to contact the officers. They will also get to know the officers in charge of their area personally.

"We have to work closely with the public. That's why we need to know them better. If they have information on a crime, they would not hesitate to contact us. Without knowing each other, how can we share information?"

SS2B residents' association deputy chairman Tan Kim Tun said the new approach would go a long way to reduce crime in the area.

"Since last year, there had been a lot of improvement. There are no more snatch thefts or burglaries. We feel safer."
