Dear Residents,
The last few months have been very challenging for our nation. With the present political scenario facing our country today, the spirit of Merdeka has somewhat been sidelined! This is a real shame as after 51 years of independence, our nation is still somewhat divided. We have not been able to move beyond our race, our colour and creed and our religion and come together as a nation. We have not been able to completely remove the shackles that have bound us all, all these years.
In a way, I feel let down by our leaders. I believe our present leaders could have done much more to bring us all together as a nation to face the challenges brought about by globalization. But this is purely my own opinion. Having said that, what are we as resident in USJ 11/3, going to do about it?
Well, for a start, our Resident's Association, "11 Trees @ USJ" is coming to reality. It has been formed by the residents of different races, for the common interest of all living here!
It will be a platform for us all to come together as a community. The committee members (comprising of all races) hopes to overcome that barrier, by working together to create a more secure and peaceful neighbourhood for all. We want to strive to create a "urban village" fit for the modern times. We would like to create a community where all the neighbours knows each other and extends a helping hand to each other irrespective of our colour, creed or religion whenever there is a need.
For this 51st Merdeka celebration, let us as a community in USJ 11/3 come together as one, as proud Malaysians that belongs to this great nation of ours!
Let us all come together as a community that truly shares common vision, show tolerance and understanding. Let us all come together to work for the common good of all. Let us take this opportunity with this Merdeka celebration, by writing a new page and creating a new hope for us to continue to live in a peaceful and harmonious society in our beloved country, Malaysia.
On behalf of all the committee members, we would like to wish a "Happy Merdeka" to all! And don't forget to fly the flag!
