Gotong-royong

Gotong-royong is loosely translated as 'cooperation' in some dictionaries while Wikipedia mentions the word 'communal work'. It is an act of gathering together to accomplish a task which is usually for the mutual benefit. In Malaysia, gotong-royong is widely held nationwide and it is a culture of the multiracial people. 

Today, a gotong-royong was held in my school in order to clean up the surrounding from possible Aedes breeding. All students cooperated in clearing their areas from rubbish before bringing it to the waiting MDTM lorry at the school gate. Refreshments were provided by the  PIBG committee.
