STRENGTH

Strength takes a look at the advantages of an organization and what it does well in. In this case,

we will look at the strengths of the Shah Alam Lake Garden. After making an observation around

the lake, we have identified several strengths. They are:

Vehicle parking area

There is a parking area located around the Shah Alam Lake Garden. This is one of the

strengths of the place, because without a parking area for vehicles it will be hard to attract

people to come there. As we already know, the majority of people nowadays move

around using their vehicles be it a car or motorcycle. Very few people get from point A to

point B by foot. So having an adequate parking area is definitely an advantage for ShahAlam Lake Garden.

The Cultural Park

Also available at the Shah Alam Lake Garden is the Cultural Park. This is the place

where people can gather and do activities like the cultural dance. It also has a seating

area where people can sit and watch the show on stage. This is an advantage of the

Shah Alam Lake Garden because it gives an opportunity and an area for people to do

any suitable activities.

Resting hut

The third strength that will be highlighted here is the resting hut. There are several of

these facilities located at the Shah Alam Lake Garden. People will usually walk or even

go jogging around the Shah Alam Lake Garden as their recreational activities. Then they

will want to find a place to sit down and have a drink or to get some rest. This is where

the resting hut will be beneficial.

Strategic location

The Shah Alam Lake Garden is also strategically located at the center of the Shah Alam

city. This is definitely the strength of the place because it is located near to government

buildings and shopping malls such as the PKNS Complex and the Plaza Alam Central.

People who come to shop at these places will also want to come to the Shah Alam Lake

Garden because it is not too far away.

facilities to conduct some function.

CONCLUSION

On 22 September 2008 had done the observation at Shah Alam Lake Garden. We

thought these Shah Alam Lake Garden is an interesting place. This lake is near with Wet world.

It is suitable park to people do any recreation activities such as jogging, walking around lake with

their family.

We also suggest which to provide more facilities such as public toilet, restaurant, and

more playgrounds. It will make tourist feel comfortable when come to the lake. The safety is very

bad because Shah Alam Lake Garden an open air without gate. We hope Majlis Bandaraya

Shah Alam provide the gate to protect the people from the criminal.

Beside that, there are many species of plants and flowers. It helps us to give more

knowledge as a student Park and Amenity to learn and help us to done another assignment. The

benefits at Shah Alam Lake Garden are near with Wet World, Kompleks PKNS, Plaza Alam

Sentral and SACC Mall. After tired shopping, people may release their tension at the Shah Alam

Lake Garden.

As conclusion, we thought Shah Alam Lake Garden is a good for family to relaxation with

their family.
