When the specialist clinics and hospital open their doors to the public next year, residents can expect to enjoy the same high level of affordable and quality health care as at Alexandra Hospital. This National Day is a good time to remind ourselves to stay united, to maintain and build our racial and religious harmony. While we continue with our upgrading and rejuvenation plans, we also want to create an endearing home, one that preserves our cultural identity and heritage, for ourselves and for our future generations. And we are not just talking about making sure our blocks are swept and cleaned regularly. As residents, you play a vital role in maintaining a clean and green estate. Do make an effort to practise social responsibility towards our town and common facilities. In this regard, we urge you to emulate the green efforts of our resident and town councillor, Mr Peter Lo, winner of the NEA 2009 EcoFriend Award.

Berusahalah untuk mengamalkan tanggungjawab sosial terhadap bandar dan kemudahan-kemudahan bersama kita.

Marilah kita bekerjasama untuk membuat bandar kita sebuah tempat yang bersih, sihat untuk didiami dan beriadah, sambil kita menyambut Hari Kebangsaan kita yang keempat puluh empat. D A word from the Chairman Hawazi Daipi september 09 n 17 May, hundreds gathered at Blocks 552 and 684B Woodlands Drive 44 and 73 to launch an Anti High-rise Littering and Clean at Admiralty campaign. Admiralty Zone 3 and 6 residents together with grasssroots leaders picked up litter, did some floor washing, then went upstairs in the blocks and knocked on doors. Led by their MP, Dr Mohd Maliki Osman, they explained that they wanted everyone in Admiralty division to commit to keeping the community clean. If a resident agreed, they signed up and put a sticker on their door – a daily reminder that keeping Admiralty clean is everybody’s business. O ada 17 Mei, beratus orang penduduk berkumpul di Blok 552 dan 684B Woodlands Drive 44 dan 73 untuk melancarkan kempen Mencegah Perbuatan Membuang Sampah Sembarangan Dari Tingkat Atas dan Menjaga Kebersihan di Admiralty. Para penduduk di Admiralty Zon 3 dan 6 bersama para pemimpin akar umbi mengutip sampah, mencuci lantai, kemudian naik ke tingkat atas di blok-blok tersebut untuk melakukan lawatan dari rumah ke rumah. Dipimpin oleh Anggota Parlimen mereka, Dr Mohd Maliki Osman, mereka menerangkan bahawa mereka mahu setiap orang dalam kawasan undi Admiralty untuk membuat komitmen bagi menjaga kebersihan kawasan mereka. Jika seorang penduduk bersetuju, mereka mendaftar diri dan menerima pelekat untuk ditampal pada pintu flat mereka – satu ingatan harian bahawa urusan menjaga kebersihan Admiralty adalah tanggungjawab setiap orang. P sembawang heart talk 3 4 sembawang heart talk september 09 The new hospital is topped out! The new Khoo Teck Puat Hospital was ‘topped out’ on 26 June. Construction is on track, and the hospital expects to see its first patients by the end of March next year. or everyone involved with the construction of the new hospital, the topping-out ceremony meant structural completion and the end of the second phase. In the first phase, the foundations were built. Now in the third phase, the hospital will be fitted out: the wiring, plumbing and finishing will be done. For those living near the construction site, it meant an end to the digging, banging and piling. There’s still going to be some noise and dust – but much less than before. And it’s not much to put up with to get a new hospital next door. Mr Khaw Boon Wan said the plan is to open the specialist clinics by April next year, and the rest of the hospital later, in October. When completed, the 3.4ha hospital will offer 550 beds. Patients at the hospital will enjoy a splendid view of the Yishun Pond. Plans are in place to make it even more beautiful with more greenery and a new lookout tower. Mr Khaw thanked the Khoo Teck Puat family for their tremendous support with a $125 million dollar donation, part of which will go to helping patients in need. F The construction team behind the new hospital was every bit as excited about the topping-out ceremony as were northern heartlanders! There were markers aplenty for anyone who wanted to sign their names or good wishes on the last steel beam to go to the top of the hospital. A special treat was a performance by the staff-to-be of the new hospital, a song called “My Favourite Things”, specially written for the ceremony. Hyundai Engineering and Construction, the company building the hospital, flew in a top-notch team of Korean drummers. september 09 sembawang heart talk 5 he two recent LUP polls in Marsiling had two things in common. Great stage shows and big smiles. It was only to be expected. Everyone was looking forward to getting lifts that stop at every floor, so when the polls finally came, grand parties were held. Grassroots leaders took the stage with a comedy sketch at the poll for the 16 blocks in Woodlands Street 32 and Avenue 1. And some great professional performers entertained the crowds who came to the poll for the nine blocks in Woodlands Street 11 and 13. An average 88% of all eligible residents in each block voted YES. So now lifts will be upgraded and 50 new liftshafts will be constructed to bring the benefits of same-floor lift service to a total of over 1200 homes. T 6 sembawang heart talk september 09 Mr and Mrs Manavalan voted Yes because they live on the seventh floor. “It’ll be much better for our visitors,” they said. “And for us, of course!” An extra bonus, they thought, was the fact that their flat would have a higher valuation when it has a lift serving the seventh floor. Mdm Lee Swee Geok moved into her flat on the eighth floor 25 years ago. “I could run up and down the stairs easily then,” she said. But she has had a problem with her kneecap for more than a year now and the lift stops on the sixth. She will be very glad when the new lifts are in next year. Mr Henry Cordeiro voted yes because his mother can’t manage the stairs to come and visit him now. And looking forward,”What happens when you get old and you’ve got things to carry up or down? A cupboard, for instance! All the blocks should have lifts that stop at every floor.” Double happiness in Nee Soon East Two precincts vote YES for their Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP)and Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP) e are one of the first to benefit from the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme,” said Assoc Prof Ho Peng Kee when he opened the polls for it and the LUP. He thanked grassroots leaders and the Town Council for their hard work in getting feedback on the facilities wanted in the renewal of this 24-yearold estate. First they went house to house in August last year to get residents’ initial thoughts, then they showed some preliminary designs in May this year. After fine-tuning, those plans were put to the vote. The Nee Soon East NRP and LUP will cover Blocks 290 to 294 in Zone 4 and Blocks 258 to 264 in Zone 5. The Zone 4 blocks are low-rise and most of them have shops on the first floor. For the LUP a total of 19 new lift shafts will be built to give samefloor lift service to nearly all the flats. Over 93% of eligible flats voted Yes for the NRP. Because it covers a larger area than an IUP, a wider variety of facilities, without duplications, were offered. Residents are looking forward to some new drop-off points, elderly fitness corners, children’s playgrounds, seating, landscaping, covered linkways and an upgrading of the Nee Soon East courtyard by the end of 2011. The entire project is expected to cost $2m. “W Residents had two block parties: one in May to look at the preliminary plans and give feedback (right) and one in July to vote on the final plans (above and bottom). Two parties, two Programmes, does it get any better! september 09 sembawang heart talk 7 Block 228 Yishun St 21 was the first block in Singapore to complete the HDB’s new Home Improvement Programme, or HIP. Ms Grace Fu, Senior Minister of State for National Development and Assoc Prof Ho Peng Kee, MP for Nee Soon East constituency, went to visit Mdm Lee Kwai Han to find out just how the programme had improved her home. Her visitors wanted Mdm Lee’s feedback on the new bathroom tiling and fixtures she selected from the optional improvements offered under the HIP. A new front door and grille were optional items Mdm Lee chose – and everyone thinks they look very good. Replacement of all the waste pipes in the flat was considered an essential improvement. A/P Ho looks in the cupboard under the sink to see the new stainless steel refuse hopper Mdm Lee had installed. eplacing the old Main Upgrading Programme (MUP), flats built before 1987 are eligible for the HIP if they have not had an MUP. Blocks 227 to 235, built in 1984, were the first to be offered an HIP and voted overwhelmingly in favour. Both optional and essential improvements are offered under the HIP. Essential items are necessary for health, safety or technical reasons. In the case of Mdm Lee’s block these included the replacement of waste R pipes, replacement of laundry pole holders and an upgrade to the wiring in the block for a heavier electical load. You can opt out of the nonessential improvements and pay a little less but Mdm Lee, like most of the residents in her block, decided to have everything done. And she is delighted with the result. A better home! With a new switch room and sub-station, the electrical supply has been upgraded for all the flats in the block. The new laundry pole sockets support the poles at both ends. Mdm Lee says it makes it easier to hang laundry. 8 sembawang heart talk september 09 Our 4 National Day september 09 44th Celebrations sembawang heart talk 9 10 sembawang heart talk september 09 Blocks M 20/21 are OK! The Marsiling Lane market and cooked food centre was given the thumbs up for cleanliness by the Minister of Health himself on 24 May. r Khaw Boon Wan and Mr Hawazi Daipi toured the crowded market, chatting with shoppers and stall keepers. oke keed Mr Khaw then went on to tour the cooked derrs food centre where he thanked stallholders gh for signing a pledge to maintain hig high tteeedd standards of hygiene. He also chatt mee with many people who had just come hee for breakfast – often sitting down at the table to talk about food in comfort! This is a very popular market and ntl tlyy food centre that has been spruced up recently and fitted with upgraded toilets. It’s good to know that the stallholders there are committed to meet the NEA’s Singapore’s OK requirements. Even the toilets got a big OK! september 09 sembawang heart talk 11 The URA never forgets the kids. There were toys to play with – and this amazing Chase-the-Lights platform. is the short answer to that question. And if you visited the URA’s My Endearing Home exhibition at Causeway Point – you could reel off a whole list of improvements and facilities in the pipeline. When he opened the exhibition on 11 July, Mr Hawazi Daipi said how childhood memories often make a home endearing, but if it is to remain endearing it must develop. It must have a future. At the exhibition you could “take a peek into the future and see some of the wonderful plans for Singapore, particularly for those in the North,” he said. “For instance...a new Thomson MRT line that will run from Woodlands to the heart of Marina Bay. And a new North-South Expressway that will cut down travelling time to the city by 30 per cent.” Catching the attention of many visitors were the plans for a Woodlands Waterfront. To be developed east of the Causeway, it will feature a nine-hectare park, a refurbished jetty and a cantilevered promenade that will let you run along the coast. Park connectors will link it with Admiralty Park and Woodlands Town Garden. On behalf of all Northerners, Mr Hawazi thanked the URA for sharing their plans for our future here in the North. Then many joined him for a visit to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. And, yes, there are plans to enhance the attractions and educational facilities at this reserve, too! More information can be found at www.ura. gov.sg/myendearinghome/ Plenty The exhibition showed you what the URA had done in the past, and their plans for the future. And there were plenty of volunteers on hand to give you details. Have you been to Sungei Buloh yet? NParks has built boardwalks throught the mangroves. You have to stay on the path for several reasons, but it’s a beautiful place to see Nature. And to learn more about flora and fauna in Singapore. 12 sembawang heart talk september 09 Working to keep Singapore truly green Meet Mr Peter Lo, Chairman of the Canberra CCC Environment Committee ust after World War Two, Peter was born into a fairly rural community in Hong Kong’s New Territories, growing up as the eldest son in a large family. They had no regular garbage collection and no running water, “It was much the same as kampung-life here,” he said. “The chickens, cats and dogs used to clean up the rubbish pretty well, but water was always a problem.” Being the biggest, he carried the water from the standpipe to the Lo house in kerosene cans strung from a bamboo pole. He believes that his life in the 1950s is the reason he is so keen to avoid any kind of waste now – and why he wants to make sure Singapore stays clean and green. He’ll do it. “I don’t give up until I get what I want!” he says, with well-earned pride. He showed us photos taken during some of the dozens of events and programmes he’s led (a few shown to the right). He joined the Canberra Zone 2 RC in 2003 and has since become very active in mozzie and dengue prevention, energy and water conservation, recycling and anti-littering. Since 2005, he’s been winning awards from the NEA, PA and PUB, culminating in the prestigious 2009 EcoFriend Award. Lecturing at childcare centres, giving brief talks to busloads of residents off on a picnic, engaging with pet owners – Peter is a master communicator. He said he learned how to talk with people, and handle their problems, working the front desk in five-star hotels. “It’s simple. You look into their eyes, listen to what they’re saying and understand what they want.” He’s put his skill to good use. He’s charmed hundreds to join his dengue and energy monitoring schemes, thousands more to pick up litter and sort out their recyclables. But he’s a patient man. He knows what he wants to achieve will take time and he’s willing to work towards it by any route available, for however long it takes. After managing hotels, he set up a furniture business. “I used to travel half the year: Germany, Britain, Scandinavia, the US, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand – buying and selling. It got to know many different countries quite well. “Whenever I got off the plane in Singapore, I’d breathe in the Singapore air and think, ‘Wah! So nice!’ Riding into town in the taxi, there was the scent of grass, you could smell the green. It was really impressive.” So Peter brought his wife and two teen-aged daughters to live here in 1990. And now he has some spare time he sees it as his duty to help – in any way he can – make Singapore an even nicer place to live.

A solar-powered lighting system for this banner structure The solar-powered banner structure in front of Block 204 Yishun Street 21. s a world leader in solar cell development and production, Sharp wanted to increase awareness of their products and show the world how well photovoltaic systems can work in ordinary, everyday applications. Always environmentally-conscious, the Town Council was happy to offer Sharp a site for their demonstration. The banner in front of Block 204 Yishun Street 21 was chosen as it’s prominent, has high pedestrian and vehicular traffic and, last but not least, gets plenty of sunlight most of the day. Completed in April 2009, the system provides electricity to power the LED lights in A the “Nee Soon East” wording, as well as the three spotlights located in front of the structure. The system has been working well for the past three months. Sponsored and installed by Sharp, at no cost to the Council, the system will reduce the Council’s power bill by nearly $150 every year.
