CSI INITIAL PROPOSAL SLIDES
- 2. Community Service Initiative (UCM60102U) Introduction About the Site 2 Jalan Prima 2, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur The site is located in Jalan Prima 2 in Kepong. The area is mainly populated by Chinese, thus, it’s surrounded by Chinese-owned businesses around the site. The football field onsite is frequently used by the locals during the afternoon before going for dinner by the row of food stalls opposite the road. Nearby landmarks include the AEON Metro Prima Mall and AEON Big Kepong Mall. People speak mostly in Hokkien, Mandarin, and Malay there. During the weekends, locals can be seen relaxing by the food stalls mingling with each other. The site itself is usually hot due to tropical weather but there are trees by the sidewalk that provide cooling shade. The traffic is usually tame because the roads are wide and parking spaces abundant. The site is not a popular spot to visit so it is not crowded at all.
