USJ23 Tsunami Disaster Fund

07/01/2005 - It was the brilliant idea of one of our Committee Members, Mr. Nge Kwang Tean that as oppose to collecting Residents' donations, house to house, we would station ourselves at the Guardhouse a few evenings so that residents who wished to donate can come forward. It was also a good opportunity for the residents to meet up with Committee Members and catch up on what has happened the pass year.

So, for 3 nights from Wednesday 5th to Friday 7th January 2005 from 8.00pm each evening, members of the USJ23 Residents & N/W Pro-Tem Committee setup a small Tsunami Disaster Fund collection centre at the USJ23 Community Center/Guardhouse.

How much do you think USJ23 residents wil donate?

Committee members aited into the night, but it was for a good cause.

SMS messages were used to inform all our residents of the daily collection. We are pleased to inform you that heeding our advise of

It is only right that we do our small little part for the needy, for God has blessed us with abundance.

generous Residents in USJ23 donated a total of

RM 5,290.00

This is by no means a small sum for such a small Community as ours, we should all stand proud of our contribution.

As our efforts was in support of the SJ/USJ Tsunami Disaster Relief Fund, a Community initiative backed by all our Wakil Raykats, Neighbourhood Watch Communities, JKPs, RT and Resident's Associations, the collected amount was handed over to members of the Organising Committee of the mentioned Fund. This was done on the very last night of our collection at our Community Centre by our Chairman, Mr. Beh Yong Hock, in the presence of our Committee Members. It was indeed a proud moment when the cheques were handed over to the Organising Committee of the SJ/USJ Tsunami Disaster Relief Fund.

Funds are handed over on the night of 7th January 2005

Dear Residents of USJ23

Hopefully this email finds you healthy and ready to face the coming year, may all your wishes turn into reality.

Whilst we bask in the prospect of a blissful new beginning, we should spare a thought for the less fortunate, especially the victims of the Banda Aceh Earthquake and Tsunami disaster.

Some of you may already be aware that a group of Community Leaders in SJ/USJ are preparing to start a Tsunami Disaster Fund. However due to some technicality it is still in the planning stage, ready to be launched next week.

As such, we have decided that whilst we await the final donation mechanism by the organisers, we, as a caring Community should embark immediately on the donation drive of our own.

We have been bombarded, on a daily basis, on both TV and in Newsprints since the tragedy last Sunday. Large areas especially in Indonesia have been affected, and more agony and heartache will be in store when aid finally reaches the coastal areas of Western Sumatra. In Penang whilst the destruction is not total, it is none the less devastating.

We have also seen the overwhelming generosity of humankind in action, from almost every part of the world.

So, what’s the point of USJ23 Residents contributing you may ask? The reason is quite simple, every little bit counts especially toward the extremely poor in the affected areas.

If you would like to make a contribution however big or small toward helping your fellow human being in distress, do so through the USJ23 Tsunami Disaster Fund. Just make you donation through your Row Leader (the normal way you use to pay your contribution toward our security services) or contact the following Committee members for more details.

Beh Yong Hock – 019 3261830

Robert Chan – 012 2093093

Yee Foon Kong – 012 9807005

All monies collected will be acknowledged with an official USJ23 Neighbourhood Watch receipt, they will be tallied and posted on our website as a permanent record of the generosity of the residents of USJ23. We will hand the total collected amount to the appropriate aid agency/NGO, details of which you will be informed.

Give from you heart.

Please inform your neighbours who may not be on our mailing list

Best Regards

Robert Chan
