Baru baru ini apabila beliau jatuh dan cedera di rumah, jirannya itulah yang telah menghantarnya ke hospital. seorang jiran yang mempunyai sifat ihsan setimbal dengan apa yang diharapkan dari jiran tetangga kita. Saya harap anda akan menyertai saya mengamal dalam kehidupan seharian kita konsep 5 Cs – yang merangkumi makna Ihsan, Keberanian, Timbangrasa, Budibahasa dan Beramal. Kita mesti ada sikap ihsan yang unggul untuk berani meluahkan pandangan bagi mencapai taraf kehidupan baik. Kita harus mengimbangi keberanian dengan sikap timbangrasa terhadap kepentingan orang lain kerana kita bukan satu satunya orang yang memerlukan sedemikian. Kita harus sentiasa berbudi bahasa khususnya kepada mereka yang kita kurang rasa penting. Sebaikbaiknya setiap orang memberikan sumbangan amal untuk meleraikan masaalah dan menjadikan kejiranan kita lebih terbaik. Jika setiap kita melakukan terbaik sebagai jiran dan mengamalkan konsep 5C, masyarakat kita dan negara kita bukan saja mewah tapi aman, selesa dan sejahtera, dan yang kita banggakan.

Besides my weekly Meet-The-People session and house visits, you can also contact me at Facebook under my full name, Denise Phua Lay Peng. Recently, some residents celebrated Good Neighbours’ Day with me. I was reminded of an old lady in her 90s whom I met during my house visits. Madam Ang is usually alone during the day. Her good neighbour living next door took care of her by buying rice for her daily. Recently, when she fell and hurt herself badly at home, she was rushed to the hospital by her neighbour. must care enough to have the courage to speak up on things that can be improved. We need to balance our courage with consideration for the interests of others as we are usually not the only one in need. In doing so, let us remember to be courteous especially to those we think are not important people. Best if we each try our best to contribute to be part of the solution to make our neighbourhood a better one. Each of us can be a good neighbour and play our part in making our neighbourhood a more humane one. Like Indian hero, Mahatma Gandhi shared, we need to be the change we wish to see in the world. So, be the type of neighbour that you yourself wish you have. If each of us does our best to be a good neighbour and apply the suggested 5Cs in our community, our country will not only be rich and peaceful; it will be a gracious and joyful Singapore we will all be proud of.
