Positive Response For PKNS Community Centre At Kota Damansara

SHAH ALAM, Oct 24 (Bernama)--The Community Centre created by the Selangor State Economic Development Corporation (PKNS) at Kota Damansara has received very encouraging response from the local community.

The community centre named Pusat Komuniti 'Anjung PKNS' was officially launched by PKNS on Oct 21 as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme of the corporation to uplift the standard of education at the school level.

PKNS Corporate Communications manager Ishak Hashim said the corporation was giving an opportunity to the Semarak 1 Joint Management Body (JMB) to run the centre for two years.

"In order to achieve the smooth running of Anjung, PKNS has allocated RM100,000 to cover payments for the operations, utility, maintenance, school holiday programmes and social activities.

"The operation of the Anjung PKNS is divided into several sections such as tuition classes specified for several classes namely the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), Pentaksiran Peperiksaan Tingkatan 3 (PT3), and Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia as well as social activities," Ishak said in a media statement recently.

Beginning in July 2017, the first batch of 27 students had attended the tuition classes at the UPSR level and subsequently this was increased with the participation of students at the PT3 and SPM levels totalling 55 students with 14 teaching staff.

The community centre which was completed in May 2017 focused on social activities including Quran reading, sewing and silat self-defence classes.
