SIT ON ME C S I P RO P OSA L
Metro Prima is a mixed development area - from residential to commercial, located strategically within the thriving town of Kepong. The high volume of users within the Metro Prima community raises the issue of lack of seating or waiting area for users who visit the area. Our proposal is to create “seating/structures� for the users in Metro Prima which not only uses recyclable material (wooden pallet) but serves as an advertisement medium for OCBC.
