Early Sunday morning 25 July 2010 Good Allah Servants and family members of the Graveyard permanent residents of the kampong gathered at the Graveyard to do spring cleaning of the graveyard lots/compound and a new coat of paint to the concrete fencing.

Hundred or so came with their respective tools and families. Materials like paint, paint brush, gloves etc were sponsored including breakfast and lunch prepared by the WI Members.

The program kicked on with communal tahlil conducted by Imam Ahmad Jebah and followed with breakfast. It was announced as expected the Ketua Kampong was unavailable to present his good self. Anyway he did send his Representative, his wife. Another similar program is being set on the same Graveyard by the Mosque and JKKK next Saturday as on Sunday these “Green” people are fully occupied with “Kuliah Duha” at the “Pasar Tani” compound.

Senior Mosque Committee Members were nowhere to be seen and the only ordinary Committee member presence and participated in the gotong royong was Major (Rtd) Boestamam, the Chairman of Infrastructure & Social Affair Bureau. The rest, Allah knows where. “Gotong royong” is a communal affair and nothing to do with political ideology. It is appropriate to cancel a “kuliah duha” and get everybody of all colors to be involved in the “gotong royong”.

A “Spy Baba” appeared just before noon and stayed on for free lunch. Let it be known that not a single cent was utilized from the Mosque or JKKK fund. The Graveyard Bureau seek for sponsorship to make this communal function a success. Those who participated donated their sweat and time.

I left way before lunch because I had an appointment with Ex Guthrien at Damansara Heights, KL.

The spring cleaning ended at 1830 hours. I think there is not much to do this coming Saturday except to call on respective family members to clean the respective lots of their relatives.

I wish to record my personal sincere appreciation and job well done to Haji Ahmad Jebah, Haji Murad and WanZainal. Allah will assist and bless every ways if our nawaitu is focus for the good of fellow Muslims.
