JKP3’s Family Day is back - June 11. It will be held from 5pm to 10pm with the theme “Loving Our Community, Caring for Our Environment”.
This year’s main attraction will be Hot Air Balloon rides, right at our very own MPSJ’s Stadium in USJ5. Just like the first family day, we will be offering 500 goodie bags to the first 500 families. Last year it was all snatched up in one hour, so make sure you get there early this year.
Among the attractions on the cards this year is a Bouncy Castle for kids (free of charge), face painting, sand art, fun fair, tele-matches for kids, free football clinic by Brazil Football Club, demonstration by Bomba, Free Health Screening, lots of interesting food stalls and a flea market. Many more plans are in the works for more activities.
We are looking for the community to participate in a few ways:
1) Run a stall in our “marketplace” – be it selling food, drinks, clothing, craft, services or just about anything legal you can think of;
2) Perform on stage – we will be running local performances from 7:30pm right up to 10pm, and will be getting a good sound system in place for this. If you’d like to showcase your talent, this is your chance;
3) Sponsor – This family day’s budget is approximately RM50k, and is being raised mostly from sponsorship in cash and kind;
4) Help out in running the show – one of our greatest achievements in last year’s family day was nearly 100 volunteers from all over USJ (and some Subang Jaya) pitched in to make it possible. Great teamwork, great results, great satisfaction.
FYI: Our 3/1 Resident Committee will be looking after the Prize Giving and Lucky Draw event; If you want to assist, please contact me at nyghtsky@gmail.com.
Upcoming Plans for Zone 3
For those of you who read Sarawakian’s column in this paper (if you’re not, I’m doing free advertisement for him), a constant complaint of his are the problems in Taipan – broken drain covers, filthy drains, restaurant food preparation, etc –I, as your representative to MPSJ, totally agree and share your sentiment. As I push in council meetings for improvements on this, I hope we can join hands together in making a difference.
Firstly, please do your part and don’t litter. Next, join me in voicing this to the Yang DiPertua (Council President) who is the head of the administration of MPSJ, as he heads the respective departments responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and infrastructure in our beloved Subang Jaya. You can also make complaints (it’s easy to do this online or via the hotline) to MPSJ, that gives a show of strength of our desire for improvement of service and concern for hygiene.
While I’ve talked about plans for zone 3 in my column in January’s edition of SJ Echo, the latest and biggest plan in the pipeline today for zone 3, is to convert the last remaining piece of vacant public land into an urban forest. This would entail a walking/jogging path, forest trees, possibly an exhibition farm and complimentary facilities. I’m glad the Town Planning and Landscape departments are working towards this, and we aim to do a public presentation before moving towards its development (possibly early next year). The design works in underway now.
