Build A New House -- Batun Kubo






Work as a team will happen if we still live in a village where people living together as a community. In a small village like where I live, the tradition “gotong-royong” is still in practice. People will help each other in any occasions such as build a new house. However, it seems to be a little bit different nowadays compare to the old times because money did play a major role. But, the people in this village are still work as a team and it inspires me.

End of last year, my parents build a small wood house at Sg. Kut Tengah and people from Sg. Kut Tengah help us to put it up. I am so thankful to the family that let us use their house as a place to prepare food and we stay overnight there. So much gratitude goes to everyone that show up on that day and use their energy to put up that small wooden house.

The spirit of working as a team is the most important things and strengthens the relations in our people community.
