    I had such a great time at the #PJKITA event! I had the opportunity to learn how to put on a thick skin and bravely engage strangers to gather ideas and feedback for their beloved community. And in that process, I made many new awesome friends while being able to do my bit for a social change.

    Overall, this was a good engagement session with PJrians communities. Its my first time involving in such community engagement. Some of the people are curious with this type of engagement. Nevertheless, they are willing to share their ideas on how to improve the PJ communities. Hopefully, the relevant stakeholders would be able to take necessary actions to help mitigate issues and also improve PJ for better.

    PJKita provided us a great opportunity to understand the concerns and needs of the PJ-ians. It's exciting to see what sort of change they're looking forward to in their physical environment, and its often what we may overlook. I would love to see more of these public engagements to help build a community-inclusive city. Overall, great job!

Final Words

MBPJ's (Petaling Jaya's Town Council) - Urban development goals towards a Sustainable City in 2030, PJ Kita is a town wide campaign to empower local community organisations to propose and take action to make PJ a better place for everyone to live in. This mission was a great start in our collaboration with MBPJ (Petaling Jaya's Town Council) to engage with the public to hear and gather their thoughts about living in PJ and what they aspire to make PJ a better place to live in. The public response was good and we hope to see more of these engagement activities from time to come.
