While others had choosen to keep it deep inside their hearts, the residents of TSM in Muar had expressed openly their love for the country and their admiration for the past and present breed of national heroes by flying one flag in every house!
This is the third year in the running at TSM that we are flying a Jalur Gemilang in every house.
We are very excited when over 90% of the total households particiapted actively to welcome and celebrate Merdeka on the auspicious day of August 31st. Malaysia is af
terall, 51 years old!
( Note: it is easy for a government agency or any individual to fly 100 flags at one go in any building but it is not easy "to convince" 100 people in a single neighborhood to fly a flag in every house!)
Outsiders who drove passed TSM wished they could emulate TSM to fly a flag in their own housing estate.
We say:"Yes, it is possible if your neighborhood is passionate about it, be consistent and add in a little bit of hardwork."
In our case, it is a "Kampung affair" giving that we are living in a modern town today. A neighbor volunteered to carry the 12 -feet bamboos with his lorry and we would go house-to house to promote our latest offering- a Jalur Gemilang with a 12-feet bamboo, all at a cost price of RM 6.00!
TSM children and youth would help to fix up the Jalur Gemilang for free if the house owner is an elderly person. That's what we called "Value added service" to promote good neighborliness.
Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan !
