VISITING local Kawasan Rukun Tetangga (KRTs) to see how they are coping during the recovery movement control order (MCO) is important during trying times like this.

To ensure there is interaction and a sense of community, MCA vice-presidents Datuk Tan Teik Cheng and Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker paid a visit to the Kampung Kolam KRT in Lebuh Melayu, Penang.

Tan said the purpose of the visit was to review the KRT activities carried out during the recovery MCO.

“The KRT is a body that plays an important role and is closest to the local community that aims to unite multiracial communities in Malaysia.

“In addition, many KRT activities are used to create interaction with each other’s communities and strengthen the spirit of unity.

“Community activities give space for the residents to gather and indulge in some fun,” he said.

Tan said the Kampung Kolam KRT provides night patrol services which help the community in the area feel safe.

“Through this visit, we hope to provide support and assistance to them so that they can continue to strive as one of the local communities in the area,” he said.
