When people around you have the right heart, the team stays the course naturally in the right direction. It does not matter the time of day or how hard the job. They rally around you to get it done. Because they care, they care for people.
Joseph, Henry, Barani, Jude, Chris, YJ, Uncle Mathie, Alvin - this goes out to each of you. For immediately laying down the plans you had for the rest of the day, moving and fixing tanks + stands late at night,
for turning up early in the morning, advocating for each water tank trip for residents with Air Selangor, soothing every angry nerve, carrying every pail, ringing every door to make sure we miss no one, walking kilometers throughout the day...
and even looking out for me to make sure I drink water and don't dehydrate.
I see each of you, I see your hearts, and I grateful for each of you. The world is so much better with each of you in it.

Kah Vern spent some time with us as an intern - he has taught me a lot about being a good employer. This is his account.

"Despite being a fresh SPM graduate, I was blessed to be given the opportunity to intern with YB Michelle's office from December 2020 to February 2021. During those 2.5 months, I got a glimpse into policymaking at the state level.
Most importantly, I learned the values of community and service. I went in expecting to learn skills (which I did!), but I left with many other unexpected things: community, values and a different outlook on life.
I write this having only slept at 7.45am in the morning.
The day before at about 10.30pm, I got an urgent call from a resident who lives in one of Subang’s low cost flat.
“YB. Maaf ganggu. Minta bantu. Ada seorang penduduk sesak nafas, muntah-muntah. Kata nak mati. Tak tahu nak buat apa. Dah tunggu ambulans dari 999 sejak 6 petang masih tak muncul. Tolong. 999 mintakan kami hantar sendiri.
999 pun kata mereka lumpuh dan kes ini bukan satu-satunya kes sesak nafas. Katanya kes dari pagi masih belum selesai lagi dan masih ada 7 orang tunggu dalam senarai.”
Subangites, we need your help! This is a cry for help that we received from a fellow resident:-

Today is a historic day for the Guan Di Temple. Lot 37559, which is beside the existing site, has been gazetted as temple land, and to be managed by Persatuan Pengurusan Rumah Berhala Guan-Di. The temple held a simple gazette handover ceremony today.
I am grateful for the guidance and support of YB @hannahyeoh, YB @ngszehan, YB Dato @tengchangkhim and YB @WongChenPKR, as well as our Councillors, without which we would not be able to witness today.
The temple, which sees devotees from Subang Jaya, Sunway, Puchong and PJ serves a key religious purpose. The additional space means more room to conduct prayers and programmes.
The Selangor State Budget was tabled today. Overall, am satisfied with its direction. A few points worth noting below. (NB: I am only picking up a few points. This is by no means a representation of the full budget speech, which was 2.5 hours long.)
Covid-19 has forced Selangor to focus on jobs. The initiatives introduced to that end are:-
• Selangor Innovation Fund which focuses on providing venture capital for selected startups
• A target to create 10,000 jobs for fresh grads through reskilling, upskilling, newskilling and job placement
• Inisiatif Selangor Automotif TVET. Job placement for TVET fresh grads in the automotive industry. The industry will be incentivised thru a 12 month EPF contribution
Sebelum bulan Oktober berakhir, sempat juga saya memakai warna merah jambu bersempena dengan Pinktober, iaitu usaha untuk meningkatkan kesedaran berkenaan kanser payudara.
Sebagai seorang wanita yang baru melangkah ke dalam usia 30-an, isu ini semakin penting bagi pihak saya.
Salah satu objektif Pinktober adalah untuk mengalakkan saringan kesihatan berkala. Ini adalah kerana peluang pemulihan adalah lebih tinggi jika kanser payudara dikesan awal.
