Businesses in the city have been called upon to organise 'gotong-royong' programmes in residential areas as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). 'Gotong-roying' is a term used to describe a volunteer group who go out specifically to clean and spruce up a neighbourhood.

Federal Territory and Urban Wellbeing Minister, Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin, was reported to have said that there are few of such programmes in the city's housing areas, which revealed that private businesses did not contribute that much towards helping the local community. He was reported to have also said that these programmes could enhance ties between residents and organising companies.

The miniser was reported to have said this at a news conference after launching the D'Puncak Gotong-Royong programme organised by Tanjung Offshore Bhd with the cooperation of the Puncak Setiawangsa Residents Association recently. At the event, Tanjung Offshore Bhd (Tanjung Offshore) chairman Senator Datuk Wira Syed Ali Al-Habshee presented a contribution of RM10,000 to Raja Nong Chik in the latter's capacity as chairman of the Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan (YWP) fund.

According to Raja Nong Chik, YWP did not get any funds from the government and that it was an independent body to eradicate poverty in the federal territories. He explained that, aside from helping the poor in the federal territory of Kuala Lumpur, YWP plans to assist hawkers and provide burial expenses in the future.
