Local community response to My Daftar campaign

Tuan Haji Raham, Mr Padma and Ebenezer reviewing applications at Lembah Subang

The Lembah Subang local community leaders headed by Mr Padmanagan have been very busy in assisting residents in filling the JPN forms during this campaign period. This is a very good example of local leaders taking action in addressing local needs.

Mr Padma is a local MIC leader. He has been living in this neighbourhood for the past 10 years running a market stall with his wife. He seems to know every one especially the Indian community. It was he and his local committee that hosted a program on Feb 15, 2011 which was officiated by Datuk Dr Subramaniam, The Taskforce Chairman and Human Resources Ministry.

Mr Padma assisting Tuan Hj Rahaman at Lembah Subang

Mr Padma had earlier attended a training session on JPN form filling at the JPN office at PJ. He had gone and met the officer in charge and gathered all the forms needed. He sought the assistance of volunteers to fill the forms too.

Yesterday Feb 22, 2011 (Tuesday) he organized a gathering at the community hall and invited Tuan Hj Abdul Rahaman to come and review all the applications with the persons concerned. This is a very useful process as it saves time and ensures that when the people come and submit on Feb 24, 2011 (Thursday) they will be complete or at least near completion. Any major complication or difficulty is then cleared early and assistance sought especially for some leader to take an oath that he knows this individual concerned.

Tuan Hj Abdul Rahman the JPN officer in PJ has gone out of the way by coming after office hours to local community halls to meet people and explain to them the requirements and advice on how to fill the forms. He did this some time back with the community at Desa Mentari block 9 and 10.

Tuan Haj Rahaman's friendly approach wins 'hearts & minds' at Lembah Subang

Tuan Haji, tries to use the little Tamil he knows. He grew up in Bangsar and lived among Indians as his father worked in the railways. He has taken an extra mile. This exemplary service is bridging the gap between the people on the bottom and Putrajaya. Through his personal service he has enabled ordinary people feel at home and recognize that JPN and the Federal government cares for them.
