This is the scene of rat invasion in an urban township in the Klang Valley. It is a vivid description that dwellers of the low-cost flats in SS13 Subang Jaya (near the 3K complex) give of the rat colony in their residential area that they have put up with for years.

Gotong Royong in Subang (28.6.2008)

Today some of our Latter Rain Church members went to subang, section 13 and volunteered our time and service for a gotong royong. It was organized by YB Hannah Yeoh.

The photos were taken with a Canon A400, while cleaning up, and mostly with one hand. Sorry for the poor quality photos, due to camera shakes.

Some photos of our church members. Lots of photos before the start of the gotong royong.

The photos taken in my earlier blog (HP K800i blog) was taken with Sony 800i to give you some latest pictures.

Gotong Royong in Subang: Hosanna

After the cleanup, we passed by this restaurant.. 'Restoran Hossana'.

Praise God we helped the best we could during the gotong royong, and survived. Aiiii, Emily walked by just as I pressed the button.

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosanna

"Hosanna" (Greek transcription: ὡσαννα, hōsanna) is the cry of praise or adoration shouted in recognition of the Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord![6] It is used in the same way in Christian praise.
