Exposure at Fella Design

Rumah Aman was given a booth, compliments from Fella Design when it held its sales expo at its head office in Persiaran Elektron, Bukit Subang, Selangor from 26th June to 5th July.

Rumah Aman was however unable to participate for the whole duration of the expo due to prior commitments but managed to set up the booth from 26th to 28th June (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The teachers and administration staff took turns to man the booth.

The response from the public was most heartwarming and we believed through that event Rumah Aman was given much exposure and were able to reach out to a lot more people.

Those who patronised the event was also very generous in giving. Rumah Aman managed to raise RM1,200.00 during the three days we were there.

Thank you Fella Design especially to Kelvin and his staff for being very helpful and attended to our needs during the exposition.

A Guest From Finland

On 22nd June 2009, Rumah Aman received a guest from Finland, Dr. Parvez Alam who was representing a charity body called Fighting For Lives ( http://www.fightingforlives.com) .

Figthing For Lives is a charity body consisting of martial art exponents who raise funds for children charities by organising martial arts seminars.

Dr. Parvez Alam who is a silat expert himself (silat is a popular martial art form in South East Asia) took time after the science seminar he attended, to visit silat masters in various parts of Malaysia.

He also took the opportunity to visit some orphanages since he was entrusted to distribute food, educational materials, money for building, repairs and re-equipping orphanages with materials besides having fun silat sessions with the children at the orphanages.

Thank you Dr. Parvez Alam for your dedication and contributions. Please do come and visit us again.

Flood Mitigation Project

The Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) started a flood mitigation project last May in an effort to curb flooding at Seksyen 2, Seksyen 3 and Seksyen 4 where the water will be about a meter deep after an hour of heavy downpour.

The flood mitigation project consists of digging a covered monsoon drain from the the junction of Jalan Mawar 2/5 and Jalan Bunga Tanjung 2/16 along Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Secondary School and part of Jalan Bunga Cempaka 2/11 where Rumah Aman is situated and part of Jalan Bunga Kertas 2/15 before cutting across the main road, Persiaran Dato' Menteri before converging with the 5.85 meters deep monsoon drain located under the Shah Alam Wet World Theme Park car park where water will then flow into the Damansara River about 700 meters away from Rumah Aman.

The newly constructed monsoon drain will be about 400 meters long from the junction of Jalan Bunga Mawar 2/5 and Jalan Bunga Tanjung 2/1 to the Wet World car park.

Presently the contractor have dug up a monsoon drain measuring 4.5 meters deep and 2 meters wide from the junction of Jalan Bunga Mawar 2/5 and Jalan Bunga Tanjung 2/16, part of Jalan Bunga Cempaka 2/11 and part of Jalan Bunga Kertas 2/15.

The project is scheduled to be completed by the first week of August. We hope the flood mitigation project will be a success.
