“We get together to know each other, foster goodwill and help each other curb crime,” said SS2B RT chairperson Willie Tan at the SS2/34 basketball court.
He said by keeping in close contact with residents, the RT committee and police could find out about incidence of crime and take action to curb it.
He added that the RT had so far organised family days, carnivals and sports days every two to three months.
Also at the event was Sea Park police station chief Inspector Gunam Resul Gulam Mohammad, who had a dialogue with some 200 residents.
Gunam Resul, who brought along about 15 police officers to participate in games with the residents, said constant communication is the key to a safer neighbourhood.
“When we know each other, everything becomes easy. We like joining community programme so that there’s no gap (between residents and the police),” he said.
He added that while crime can happen at any time, it is important for police officers to be friendly with the public.
Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) councillor Tony Cheong Siew Thong said this RT is the most active in the vicinity with about six programmes so far this year.
Apart from group exercises to “Gangnam Style”, balloon bursting games and lucky draws, residents also had free blood and glucose tests.
