The 'Rukun Tetangga sector C' ... my neighbourhood community association was invited to join the 1Malaysia Unity Week celebration held at the PPR Desa Tun Razak. Minister in the Prime minister's department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon graced the event along with other key dignitaries.
A number of association used this opportunity to make some money for their community by setting up stalls selling clothes to food stuff. The PPR playground was buzzing with crowds enjoying the day out.
All the delegates were greeted with these lovely 'Mini Ministers' portraying a minister from our cabinet. Note the smart chap 2nd from left, that's mini Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon. Sadly I failed to locate our PM.
The lively atmosphere got fired up with the kids futsal tournament. They were pupils from the government run kindergarten all geared up in Real Madrid and Chelsea kits. It was good to see the Malaysian colours too.
The motive of the trip was participating in the government funded gathering but fostering strong communal feeling isn't just about hearing minister's talk but to actually spend time doing what we like the most within the community. My sector is all for trips! First stop after a filling lunch ...
Sai Kim Factory.
They are the biggest distributor of sea weeds in Malaysia. You can find all sorts of dried / chilled sea food for cooking and medicine. I enjoyed the walk through their chiller which was part of the factory tour.
We weren't big fans of chilled or dried sea food but we did get something in memory of the visit, local pearl earrings for me. Was at a bargain probably because they were at the bottom of the grade in pearl quality.
The final stop before we headed home was something I can relate to but I enjoyed the place so much it didn't hit me to buy any. Who would turn down overflowing free samples. I won't be looking at another for a week.
