Recreational facilities is such a part of the various local councils managing their public facilities under their jurisdictions. I noticed that these facilities are managed by proper managers. For example I brought my grand-daughter who lives in Sdyney to this leisure facility for her swimming lessons. I am impressed by the pools available for different ages (including senior citizens) but even more impressive is the orderly manner these facilities are managed. Clean and tidy with great care being taken on safety aspect. It is when I see these types of facilities that I wish our councils are able to up-grade some of our facilities in order to provide services which all of us as residents can truely feel proud of. Yes, it will take time but as our citizens staying in the bigger cities and towns are now more discerning, we need to cater for their needs as well. These urban dwellers are often well travelled or well read so their wants and needs should be addressed as well. I supposed we need to provide a variety of facilities to cater for different needs of our populations, whether urban or rural. To be fair big cities such as Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, such types of leisure facilities are already there but we need to do more. Cities like Kuching, Miri and Sibu in Sarawak need to catch up to keep their populations reasonably happy with the administrations/authorities. Should we leave it just like that? Que sera sera?
