Last weekend I was with the Kawasan Rukun Tetangga of USJ 2 & 6 celebrating the Joy of Combined Festivals at the Summit USJ mall. The underprivileged, orphans and residents from drugs rehabilitation home were invited to be part of the Chinese New Year and Thaipusam festivals. A big thank you to the Kawasan Rukun Tetangga of USJ 2 & 6 for organising this successful event. It was celebrated by residents of different races and cultures. For residents in USJ 2 and USJ 6 who would like to participate in your Rukun Tetangga (all residents of a particular Kawasan Rukun Tetangga are automatic members), please email Pn Ramlah at onizukawaki@yahoo.com.sg for further details. Here are some photographs taken on that day:

My husband and I together with En Zainal Abidin and his wife Pn Nooraida representing Masjid Al-Mukminun, USJ 2The Selangor state Chinese New Year Open House, which was organized by MPSJ was a resounding success, attended by thousands of people at Bandar Sunway. Many were excited to simply meet our YAB Dato’ Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and his EXCO members. It ended with a bang, literally, with an excellent fireworks display from the rooftop of Sunway Pyramid.
