March began with a team building program organized by Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKJ), Kajang Municipality Council. 30 personnel came in for a 2 days 1 night stint at Uluhati, deep in rural Hulu Langat, away from the rest of the world. I guess this time they have no choice but to bear each other's company for the entire 2 days.
Interestingly enough, the participants were all drivers of the municipality. This is the first time I have seen so much importance being placed on the lower levels of the organization, what more when I saw quite a number of seniors showing up to provide moral support and encouragement to the participants. The seniors explained that motivational training should not only be reserved for officers or similar, but should extend to all levels of the organization. The equally critical roles of the lower levels is herewith recognized. Well done MPKJ. You put many top notch corporates to shame.

| ICE BREAKING AND TEAM FORMATION AT THE SERAMBI |
 |
| WHATS THIS? MISSION IMPOSSIBLE IN HULU LANGAT! |
 |
| NOW, WHAT HAS DRIVING GOT TO DO WITH THIS? I GUESS IT MIGHT BE HANDY IN CASE YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF A CAR WRECK, OR WHEN YOU NEED TO GET INTO A HIGH SECURITY AREA |
 |
| SOME GAMES NOT ONLY TO FOSTER TEAM WORK BUT ALSO TO WAKE UP THOSE HANDS AND ARMS FROM THE USUAL CIRCULAR MOVEMENTS. YEP, AND THOSE HIPS TOO ARE ALSO TO BE MOVED AS WELL. |
 |
| STARTING A FIRE FOR.... |
 |
| GUESS WHAT FOLKS.... YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO COOK IN BAMBOO. USEFUL SKILL TO HAVE WHEN YOU CAR BREAKS DOWN ON A LONELY ROAD, AND YOUR BOSS IS THE TYPE WHO MUST HAVE HIS DINNER ON TIME AT 6.00 P.M. ASSUMING OF COURSE YOU HAPPENED TO HAVE SOME CHICKEN, RICE AND VEGETABLES IN THE BOOT. |
 |
| NO,THERE IS NO BUG IN THAT BAMBOO........JEEEEZE .. STOP POKING AROUND AND JUST LINE IT WITH THE BANANA LEAF...... NOPE, I'M NOT HEARING THAT |
 |
| SO THE RICE IS FINALLY PUT TO THEN FIRE |
 |

 |
| MESMERISING SEWANG PERFORMANCE BY SUKU TEMUAN ORANG ASLI. BEST SEEN AT NIGHT IN BETWEEN THE TREESS AND UNDER THE MOONLIGHT |
 |
| TOK BATIN ANDAK (CHIEFTAIN) LEADING HI S MUSICAL TROUPE |
 |
| THE SEWANG PERFORMANCE HAS A CERTAIN HAUNTING NOSTALGIA OF ITS OWN. LYRICS AND MUSIC IS SIMPLE, BUT THE SIMPLICITY BELIES A HIGHLY ROMANTIC LIFE CLOSE TO THE NATURAL WORLD AND THE CONTENTMENT OF THESE CHILDREN OF NATURE WITH THE GIFTS HANDED OUT BY NATURE TO THEM. |
 |
| IN CASE YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES IN HITTING THE TARGET, YOU KNOW WHOSE FACE YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE AT THE END OF THE BARREL. DON'T WORRY YOUR SECRET IS SAFE.......BET YOU 10 BUCKS HE IS AIMING FOR ENCIK....NO, I SAY ITS PUAN.... |
 |
| THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A FULL SCALE PAINT BALL COMPETITION BUT DUE TO LIMITED TIME IT WAS CONFINED TO TARGET PRACTICE ONLY. HORSE RIDING TOOK LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED. THE PARTICIPANTS USED TO TAKING ORDERS FROM THEIR BOSSES NOW HAVE TO COMMUNICATE, MANAGE AND DIRECT THE HORSES TO WHERE THEY WANT TO GO. REVERSE ROLES AND AN APPRECIATION OF HOW THEIR BOSSES MIGHT HAVE FELT. |
 |
| CLOSING REMARKS |
And of course the mandatory group picture. Once again, well done MPKJ. You showed that you care.
