| CNY bash for Kampung Tunku folk Posted: 06 Mar 2013 05:52 AM PST IT WAS a fun-filled night for the residents of the Kampung Tunku constituency who gathered to celebrate Chinese New Year at Taman Aman park. More than 500 people from all walks of life gathered despite the rain that began early in the evening. The event was organised by Kampung Tunku assemblyman Lau Weng San's office, together with MBPJ councillor Jayaseelan Anthony. Lau's assistant Roger-Shane Ee said the event was a communal Chinese New Year bash for the people. "Chinese New Year is always something people look forward to. The event gives them an opportunity to come out and enjoy themselves," he said. Jayaseelan said they had also invited charity homes from around the Seapark area including Rumah Hope, Rumah Siddarthan SS3 and the Single Mothers Association Selangor. "We never expected such a big crowd on a Monday night but the turnout is very encouraging," he said. Some 30 children from both Rumah Hope and Rumah Siddarthan turned up for the event. Guests were entertained by the performances put on by the children from Rumah Hope. There were also lucky draws for participants and ang pow were distributed to children below 12 years old. Residents were happy with the dinner since it was a platform for them to meet with councillors, assemblyman and MPs. Residents Association SS1 chairman Johhny Quek said it was a good way to meet the elected representatives and vent their problems. "It is a platform for us to meet them in a very informal atmosphere. "It is also good for the charity homes as it gives the children an opportunity to mingle," he added. Rukun Tetangga Section 20A Petaling Jaya chairman Kong Poh Heon said that it was good to be able to bring the residents together. "Several residents helped with the setting up and it's important for us to work together," he added. Kelana Jaya MP Tony Pua was also present at the event. He said that events such as this were important as the residents could come out and discuss current affairs and it also gave local charities a chance to enjoy themselves. Guests also enjoyed local cuisine such as nasi lemak, rice dumpling and chicken rice. |
