10 January 2025


 

PENAMPANG: Gotong royong, a traditional practice of mutual cooperation and community engagement, offers numerous benefits to communities including strengthening community bonds.


Jenson Masuin the head of United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) in Kg Baru Luyang shared that a recent gotong royong held in his village evoked the participation of about 100 people.


They worked together to clear the drains and repair the road toward the village, he said adding that they were divided into two groups.


“The group cleared up several metres of roads in zone three and four as well as the drains,” he said adding that since they worked together, this allowed them to interact with one another and promote friendship among them.


Overall, gotong royong plays a vital role in building resilient and harmonious communities, fostering cooperation, and enhancing the quality of life for all members, he shared, adding that they would be holding more such events in future.
