Location Choice

We had a group discussion and we finally came to a conclusion concerning our project and I'll be posting it later, for the time being I'll just talk about how we choose our location.

It's most probable that our final outcome will be in the form of an event so we needed a yard, that why you'll notice that we chose mostly the places with a yard.

At the very beginning we chose ss15, we had a few arguments why we chose ss15 such as it was filled with youth and that the youth will be more willing to change rather than the adult and that it's also a well developed area in Malaysia compared to the other places and there are some part time workers as well here so they're getting paid and they could contribute to the cause. However our first comment concerning ss15 was that youth don't have the means to donate, not all of the youth has a job and even those who has a part time job they don't get paid that much and they still have to pay for their living and their tuition. Furthermore, from my opinion the area isn't a much wealthy area.

There is actually a few yards in the encircled areas.

We actually really need to consider payment since we have to include the service of Maybank in the campaign.

Along with some of the group member, I chose KLCC where all the wealthy people reside and that there's also some tourist and thereby increasing this cause internationally. However from our Malaysian group member we discussed that KLCC might not be a suitable area since the ways of working around this area is to have mostly foreign worker and therefore we won't be able to pursue our main purpose to target the Malaysians. She also added that KLCC is mostly known as a working place and that it is really hectic around there and the people even thought they are wealthy they barely care about the events going on in the City and I think that she has some good points there.

So we further discussed about the other possible location for our project and we obtain Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, but since it's found in the same area as KL we've rejected it as well. I honestly can't argue on this location since I've never been there.

Lastly we came across Dataran Merdeka which hopefully as a foreign student who had barely visited Malaysia, I had the chance to visit and we all agreed on this location because of the following reasons;

• It had a large yard

• It is known for some nation events

• There use to be many Malaysian hanging around there

• The neighboring areas has people from different cultures

Furthermore, I found that there are a few Museum around and I think that this could be a great thing since we have the opportunity to obtain the support of people visiting the Museums, when you think about it, a person going out for leisure, in this case enjoying the Museum, either by school and clubs or with Friends and Family, has more chance to appreciate such events since they're already in the mood to have fun.
