Cook a Pot of Curry!
The 'in' word this week must be 'CURRY'!
Since the news of a fall out between 2 neighbours over the cooking of curry surfaced last week, this incident went viral and the 'Cook a pot of curry' movement started popping up.
Although the fall out was so bad that it went to the community mediation centre to be resolved, at least it was eventually settled and sparked off a series of good gestures to celebrate the diversities in life and increase our awareness of being sensitive to our neighbours and new settlers.
So, if you are experiencing some problems with your neighbours and are not able to resolve them, don't get into an altercation, get OneMap to help you find the nearest community mediation centre! :)
The community mediation centre is a theme parked under the community option in OneMap. You can find out more on how the mediation process works by clicking on 'more info' in the balloon pop up.
Hope this cook and share a curry pot movement will not be a one-off thing but something we can do every now and then!
