With regular fertilizing and watering especially during the drought season to the Royal Palm Trees and hibiscus by our security guard Ramli,  palm trees  at PP8A frontage look much greener, accompanying with hundreds of bright red hibiscus drizzling around the entrance check point, thereby attracted many species of sunbirds busy feeding on its nectar.

Hopefully more 8A residents will echo the call of the RA and to emulate the good deed of Capt Ramli to fertilise and to water those plant around your house regulary. Thus turning our Taman into a truly flower garden or 花园 not just another cluster of houses in Puchong.

It is not uncommon to have spotted different species of lovely sunbirds feeding on hibiscus nectar along the main road behind our entrance guard house. The RA has spent hundreds of Ringgit on fertilizer to nourish the plant to ensure plenty of hibiscus flower nectar for the sunbird while keeping our Taman entrance always looks  green, flowery, healthy and vibrant.

 The RA is not only entrusted to look after the security system, environment, plants but also sunbird and nesting place for the native white breasted waterhen, greater coucal, peaceful dove, kingfisher……and many more species of bird nesting at the river side wetland so as to maintain the ecosystem and conservation of its biodiversity.

Olive Backed Sunbird  Nectarina jugularis Yellow-breasted Sunbird, Kelichap Bukit  (Malay) (太阳鸟)  is a species of sunbird found from Southern Asia to Australia. It has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even forming their nests in human dwellings. The sunbirds are a group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Their flight is fast and direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by hovering, but usually perch to feed most of the time. Flower tubes that bar access to nectar because of their shape, are simply punctured at the base near the nectarines.  (see photo below)

Gotong Royong /Communal work is when a gathering takes place to accomplish a task or to hold a competition. The Spirit of Gotong Royong is originated from Java Indonesia and the conception of sociality is familiar to large parts of Malaysia.

Gotong Royong can begin at the modest scale from our very own family, between our neighbour or even just on your own as individual during the week-end or any evening. It need not be organised by the local council, ADUN, RA or any other body… So let us do our part as a landscape and environment loving resident by cleaning and trimming your own yard and common area surrounding you regularly. These eventually will turn your home into a most well-kept community in Taman Putra Prima that all 8A residents are very much cherished and proud of.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” –Margaret Mead
