While reading through about the contest and the terms and conditions, I really find it as a very good idea to generate public awareness about Federal Territory or Kuala Lumpur (KL), Putrajaya and Labuan. Surely a lot of the blogger will find out and write out all the history, life, heritage, interesting things or attractive places in those areas, things or events happening at those areas, includes people personal view of those areas from local or foreigners and basically many mores you may see that people most likely to post in their blog.
I personally feel it is a great contest and thankful to Premium Partner: Sime Darby and other partners and sponsors such as Celcom, Sapura, Naza Group, Air Asia, TM and Pavilion KL that organize this contest that most likely to be very successful and effectively in promoting Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. I really believe this is a society contest rather than a profitable contest; they are spending a lot of their money for those prizes in order to get people to participate in this contest without thinking about profit, it is an act and effort from them to “contribute back” to the people or society.
I surely will try my best to post my personal view and experiences of those areas in my blog in order for more people to know about those areas. I also not sure how to get started but I will summary my views about these areas in this article.
Since I am young, I been staying at Serdang, only last year, I moved to Bandar Putra Permai, Selangor D. E., where both places also are just outside KL Territory and it had been 26 years now. But I had been frequent traveling to KL whether for work or entertainment for all those years. Surely a lot that can be write about KL such as daily massive traffic jam (before and after work time) that I need to withstand as I work at Cheras and my mother work nearby KLCC (that sometimes I fetch her back from work). There also my first experiences to those interesting places at KL such as Petronas Twin tower (KLCC) bridge (that KLCC is once the world tallest building), KL Tower, Christmas and New Year celebration at KLCC Park, my hotel experiences, Merdeka Square during the National Day, Zoo Negara and many more. There are of course Bukit Bintang areas that we as youngster like to visit whether for food, shopping or entertainment.
Meanwhile for Putrajaya, it not far from where I staying, although the distance maybe around 20km but with the width road and no traffic jam, the traveling time eventually take not so long. When the government started to build the area, I always frequent travel there especially outside the Prime Minister Office, the most attractive thing at there is those government buildings, infrastructures such as the bridges, mosque, etc. that captured my attraction. Currently it is really a great-developed area which shopping mall, recreation parks and township are being built that makes it even a great place to stay in. For me, it is a great move from the government to develop that area and even move out all the government sectors to that areas and also encourage foreign companies to set up their companies there that eventually can make the KL less congested. Even the government got extra land available for them to make proper planning at that area.
For Labuan, honestly I don’t know much about that area but I know the place is famous for diving and the sea is very attractive for those divers’ lover. I also hope to visit that place in future after I conquest the Kota Kinabalu Mountain.
Here go my first article to contribute to this contest; hopefully I can write more interesting articles about these areas soon and eventually win the grand prize!! Haha…
