“I approached Kak Inah and asked her what all of that was about. She told me they were from the neighbourhood and part of the Alliance Of River Three initiative. It was an insightful and fruitful experience for many of the volunteers, who all shared that their ideas of sustainability and river conservation had been reframed.

Michael, who has been a resident of Taman Melawati since 1978, added that the RM5,000 award prize was used to stock up on equipment such as rakes, hoes, pipes, cement and other hand tools. “We’re on a 12-year mission that began on July 28, 2018 and we are working towards completing it by Sept 24, 2030.“We have a clear vision of the outcomes we are working towards and we have used it to map the direction and subsequently the actions to be taken to complete the mission,” he adds.However, in 2018, he decided to take an acquaintance’s advice, who told him that he should do something in his own backyard.
