In her speech, Ma thanked all KRT members for their trust and confidence in her to continue leading the committee.
“I also call upon all residents of the neighbourhood, namely those at Lorong Airport, Taman Hijau, Taman Chiong Seng and Taman Tay Thiam Chiong, to continue supporting the KRT.
“The neighbourhood committee acts as a link between the government and the local community when it comes to matters of interest on the ground.
“I recall during the ‘gotongroyong’ (work party) last December, how all KRT members worked together to clear the clogged drains and the overgrown bushes, which was very encouraging.
“However, I was a bit disappointed to see not many residents coming down to lend a helping hand.
“For this year, I hope to see higher participation from the residents under the jurisdiction of the KRT in our community activities, such as the ‘gotongroyong’.
“Let us work together to keep our housing areas clean and free from becoming a breeding ground for disease-bearing mosquitoes.
“Also as neighbours, help one another to keep our place safe. Should you come across any suspicious activities or undesirable elements in the neighbourhood, inform the police so that action can be taken,” she said.
