Among other benefits gained from the programme are the CFS staff are able to provide to the community and at the same time strengthening ties with Taman Gambang Damai residents as most of the contributions collected are from CFS staff, Taman Gambang Damai residents and the surau managements. Furthermore, the CFS staff and Taman Gambang Damai communities have successfully embarked on “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle” of goods and materials.
