In 2019, we continued to organise activities for residents in and around the Batu Kawa region, Sarawak with the launch of MJC City Town Square which is designed and built with a low carbon footprint. The Town Square is furnished with benches in raw cement finished, existing trees native to the Town Square are preserved or carefully transplanted to ensure minimal disruption to the environment. At the same launch, a Tree Planting initiative in collaboration with The Sarawak Forestry Department, The Padawan Municipal Council and MJC City Development’s landscape contractors were organised to add more greeneries to the Township.
School children from 8 local schools, residents of the Township and representative of NGOs were invited to plant 110 seedlings from 6 species, donated by The Sarawak Forestry Department and landscape contractors. The trees were selected based on their CO2 absorption capabilities in the hope to offset carbon emission in a city living environment.
