gotong-royong<br />

AMU collaborated with the Joint Management Body of Rumah<br />

Pangsa Taman Segar Perdana and the Ministry of Health, Hulu<br />

Langat District Office to organise a gotong-royong there. As this<br />

area had the highest number of dengue cases in Hulu Langat, the<br />

gotong-royong was primarily aimed at cleaning up the area and<br />

eradicating dengue.<br />

Aside from reinforcing our bond with the Joint Management<br />

Body of Rumah Pangsa Taman Segar Perdana and the Ministry of<br />

Health, Hulu Langat District Office, this event also provided us<br />

with an avenue to uphold our responsibility to society.<br />
