Mid-Autumn 2013 Celebration

Mid-Autumn was celebrated on Saturday 28 September, 2013....9 days after the actual mid autumn festival that fell on 19 September, 2013.

In the Malaysian spirit, we extended our celebrations. So, even though we may be 'late', it's the spirit of the celebration that counts!

The turnout for this year was smaller but it was still an enjoyable time for all those who turned up.

We started with singing a few songs in Bahasa, Chinese and English.

We had a hilarious time listening to the audience tell their version of the story behind moon cakes.

Instead of the usual pomelo-cutting competition, this year we had the fastest 'cut and eat grapefruit' competition. Well...it's still a citrus fruit, albeit more sour  ;P

Then we had the fastest 'drink 600ml. bottle of water with a straw' competition.

The kids had a game of musical chairs.

We were then entertained to a guzheng repertoire.

After prizes and gifts were given, we had some light refreshments and the children had a fun time going for the LANTERN  WALK. 

Others stayed behind to sing and dance to the karaoke songs.

A Christmas Musical - The Christmas Shoes

Ever wished for a pair of shoes for Christmas?

In this Musical, come experience the touching story of how two lives are brought together as God uses a pair of seemingly ordinary shoes to remind us of the REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.

Two different situations, two different stories to tell, both brought together by one simple act of love. Heaven’s love.

Come join us this Christmas season for a musical that will touch your heart. Bring your family and friends for a show you will not forget!

Paper Lama, Tin-tin Kosong… All For A Worthy Cause

Subang Jaya Assembly (SJAG) celebrated World Environment Day this year by embarking on recycling efforts at Putra Heights.

SJAG members took to the streets of the residential estate on two consecutive Sunday evenings leading to collection day on July 14 to hand out leaflets on the project to the community. The effort was well-rewarded.

On THE day, some 40 SJAG members and 11 vehicles, divided into several groups, combed most phases of Putra Heights. Even the apartments were not spared. It was an experience for each one – humbling for some, learning for others.

For the few hours that Saturday, each member took on the role of the paper lama man, going from house to house and calling out at the gate “got old newspapers, tin-tin kosong to give?”. At one juncture, one of the groups had to “outrace” the real paper lama man, who was doing his rounds in the area! Literally a “paper-chase”!

Most of the residents were cooperative and responded beyond expectation. Several houses even had their aluminum containers packed in boxes and newspapers bundled, all neatly stacked by the roadside, with the leaflet attached, waiting to be collected. Simply amazing!

The vehicles-turned-recycling trucks made scores of trips back to the temporary collection center – each time filled to the brim. By cut-off time, the newspapers, if stacked in a single pile, would have been 22 stories high or 220 feet tall!

The recycling agent just could not believe his eyes when he saw the loads of stuff collected. His 3-tonne lorry was filled to the brim that day, and he had to make another trip the following Monday for the rest of the stuff. In total, the project generated RM1,500!

The beneficiary of the recycling project was the House of Joy in Puchong, a home for abandoned children and destitute elderly. Pastor Francis Yip handed the cheque of RM1,500 to their representatives at SJAG on July 19th 2007. The Home was most appreciative of the contribution and expressed their thanks to the Putra Heights community for their giving.




“Our Hands Touching Your Heart” became a reality that day. THANK YOU, Putra Heights community!!!
