Community Service Initiative(CSI) Site Brief The project required the architecture students to identify and evaluate the needs in a community. This project takes place in Jinjang Utara, 52000 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. The area is a segregated area with poorly constructed longhouses. The inhabitants of the village are mostly Tamils and Chinese people.Their children are commonly drop-outs of primary schools. The main reasons are as follows: 1.
Discrimination of being inhabitants of the biggest slum in the city
2.
Short of finance to run the family
3.
Household responsibility
Why for the children of Jinjang community? During the site visits, the children were seen to spend their day in activities such as collection of rubbish, cycling and teasing people passing-by. While interviewing one of the kids, he mentioned to be the child of a gangster. Messing around with people is one his pass-time and has a gang of his own at a very young age. Other kids were likely to have given up on education and girls ending in teenage pregnancy, drug and alcohol intake by youngsters.
