Menurut Wakil Unicef Malaysia, Robert Gass, lokasi ini dipilih kerana bandar Petaling Jaya diiktiraf sebagai bandar mesra kanak-kanak pertama di Malaysia.
00:00Baik sempena sambutan Hari Kanak-Kanak Sedunia, Taman Jaya Petaling Jaya menjadi lokasi utama menghimpunkan ibu bapa dan kanak-kanak untuk meraihkan hari istimewa ini.
00:10Menurut wakil UNICEF Malaysia Robert Gass, lokasi ini dipilih kerana Bandar Petaling Jaya telah diiktiraf sebagai Bandar Mesra Kanak-Kanak Pertama di Malaysia.
00:30It's a day when we remember that all children have rights and it's a day that we use this to remember and to come back and reinforce our efforts towards that.
00:39Petaling Jaya was the first city in all of Southeast Asia to receive the recognition of being a child-friendly city.
00:46So it's very appropriate that we're having it here.
00:49Beliau berkata demikian kepada Esro Awani di Taman Jaya, Petaling Jaya pada Sabtu.
00:53Dalam pada itu, Ahli Majlis Kanak-Kanak Petaling Jaya, Lim Jess Lim berkata, Taman Jaya telah melalui pelbagai penambahbaikan.
01:02Langkah ini sebahagian daripada usaha berterusan Petaling Jaya untuk menyediakan ruang permainan yang selamat dan menyeronokkan.
01:10Okay, so I definitely think that more parks should be certified as child-friendly.
01:15Because for me, it's so important because a child-friendly park means that children are able to actually enjoy,
01:23that are able to play, that it's a park that makes children feel safe and allows them to have fun at the same time.
01:31So we see this a lot in Petaling Jaya, that there are some parks that are maybe more run-down,
01:36that they aren't taken care of properly.
01:38Then this doesn't motivate children to go outside.
01:41This motivates them to just be at home playing with their phones.
01:44So we want to motivate more children to play.
01:47So that's why it's important for more parks to be certified as child-friendly also.
01:52And on our end, what we are trying to do is that we are giving a lot of ideas,
01:57a lot of suggestions to MPPJ on how they can make the parks more child-friendly.
02:03And we notify them when we see any parks that have any issues, like broken equipment.
02:09So we will inform them.
02:11And we are trying our very best to work with the adults to make sure that more parks in Petaling Jaya
02:16and eventually every single park can be child-friendly.
