Fun way to get to know the neighbourhood

More on other RAs ... perhaps we can emulate as well and organize this as one of our social and sports event - Canal Gardens Treasure Hunt. Any volunteers? Takers? Comments? Suggestions?

Fun way to get to know the neighbourhood
The Star, by Tan Karr Wei, 16th September 2008

KNOWING their neighbourhood well paid off for Steven Lim and Pamela Chen as it won them two return air tickets to Melbourne.

The two emerged tops in the Taman Megah Residents’ Association (Tamera) Treasure Hunt-Walk organised in conjunction with the 51st National Day celebrations.

Damansara Utama assemblyman Dr Cheah Wing Yin flagged off the hunt at the Taman Megah community hall in Petaling Jaya.

RA chairman Ong Thiam Hiong said 29 teams of two people each took part in the event that was open to residents of Taman Megah and the neighbouring areas.

Participants had to take a 2km walk around Taman Megah while looking out for clues to answer about 30 questions given to them.

Cheah said the treasure hunt was a fun way for residents to get to know their neighbourhood better.

Guests also tucked into a selection of fried meehoon, nasi lemak and satay, among others, as they mingled with their neighbours.

MyFM deejays Wan Wai Fun and Royce Tan dropped by to play games and hand out freebies to those present.

Chen Tat Ngee and Chen Wai Kit of the A Team won the second prize of two return AirAsiaX tickets to Perth while Eugene Lee and Horng Jir Yih of Megah Duo won the third prize of two return tickets to Hangzhou.

All air tickets prizes excludes fuel surcharge and taxes.

Three teams also won consolation prizes sponsored by CIMB.

Also present were Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua and representatives from AirAsiaX and CIMB.
