Interview with the Chairman
As the new Chairman, what are your priorities for the Town Council?
My main priority is to ensure continuity and build on the good work and
strong foundation which our previous Chairman, Ms Denise Phua, has put
in place.
With that, we can then focus on a few areas.
First, we have to continue to understand how our residents live and use the
facilities. This will help us improve our estate, as we build new amenities and
infrastructure, as well as maintain and upkeep our common environment in a
manner which meets residents’ expectations and demands. Second, we have
to recognise good facilities, new shelters, improved playgrounds, and other
physical improvements mean nothing if our residents do not enjoy them and use these facilities to spend
quality time with family, friends and neighbours. Our common spaces and facilities should be a platform to
build strong community bonds amongst our residents. I hope to be able to achieve that.
How have residents’ expectations changed over the years, and how will the Town Council cope with the
changing needs of residents?
Residents expect the delivery of good municipal services – that has not changed. However, as our estate
grows larger, with more residents, and facilities and infrastructure to look after and maintain, the job for
the Town Council gets more challenging. But the councillors and staff have risen to the challenge to better
manage our Town. For instance, we use technology and mobile apps developed specially to geo-locate and
aid in the management of estate matters.
What is your assessment of the team at the Town Council in meeting these challenges?
Our team is doing a good job. I hope our residents appreciate them. They cannot be everywhere all the time,
so I ask residents to understand that. When I go around and talk to our cleaners, they tell me that their biggest
challenge is trying to maintain premises which get littered and soiled by our own residents. It is demoralising
for them to clean again and again — only for our own residents to litter — leading to other residents
complaining about the lack of cleanliness.
主席访谈
身为新任主席，您为市镇理事会拟定了哪些方针？
我的首要任务就是确保我们的前任主席，潘丽萍市长所建立的稳固基础和良好成绩能持续推展。
之后，我们就可以关注几个重要的领域。
首先，我们要继续了解我们的居民是如何生活和使用设施。这将帮助我们改善社区、提供新的设备和完善设
施，以及维持和保养我们的公共环境，以达到居民的期望和要求。我们同时也必须意识到良好的设施、新的
有盖走廊、改良的游乐场和其他环境的改善都是为了让居民有个适合的地方与家庭、朋友和邻居欢聚。我们
的共同空间和设施是一个用来加强社区凝聚力的平台。我希望能够实现这个理想。
居民的期望如何随着时代而改变，而市镇理事会要如何满足居民们与时并进的需求？
居民要求良好的社区服务，这是不变的一点。不过，随着社区的扩大，我们将有更多居民、设备和基础设施
要考虑和照顾，市镇理事会的工作也更具挑战。虽然如此，理事会职员都欣然接受挑战，为我们的市镇提供
更优质的管理服务。例如，我们使用了备有地理定位的科技和流动应用程序，以协助社区内的管理工作。
您觉得您的市镇理事会团队应对挑战的能力如何?
我们的团队目前表现不错，希望居民能意识到他们的努力。他们不能随传随到，希望居民们能谅解这点。当
我到各处巡视，并且与清洁工人聊天时，他们告诉我他们所面对的最大挑战是维持一个不断被居民自行弄脏
的社区环境。他们必须不间断地打扫，可是又同时被其他居民投诉社区不够干净。

Wawancara dengan Pengerusi
Sebagai Pengerusi yang baru, apakah keutamaan anda untuk Majlis Bandaran?
Keutamaan saya adalah untuk memastikan kesinambungan dan membina daripada kerja baik dan
asas yang kukuh yang telah dibangunkan oleh Pengerusi kita yang sebelumnya, Cik Denise Phua.
Lantas
itu, kita boleh memberikan tumpuan kepada beberapa bahagian.
`
Pertama, kita perlu terus memahami bagaimana penduduk kita hidup dan menggunakan
kemudahan. Ini akan membantu kami untuk memperbaiki estet kami, sedang kami membina
kemudahan dan infrastruktur yang baru, serta mengekalkan dan memelihara persekitaran kita
bersama, dalam cara yang memenuhi harapan dan permintaan penduduk. Kedua, kami harus
mengakui bahawa kemudahan yang baik, tempat perlindungan yang baru, taman permainan
yang lebih baik dan peningkatan fizikal yang lain tidak bermakna apa-apa jika penduduk kami
tidak menikmatinya dan menggunakan kemudahan ini untuk meluangkan masa yang berkualiti
bersama keluarga, rakan dan jiran. Ruang dan kemudahan umum kita seharusnya menjadi
platform untuk membina ikatan yang kuat di kalangan para penduduk kita. Saya berharap dapat
mencapainya.
Bagaimanakah harapan penduduk telah berubah selama ini, dan bagaimanakah Majlis
Bandaran akan menangani keperluan penduduk yang berubah?
Para penduduk mengharapkan perkhidmatan perbandaran yang baik disampaikan - itu masih
tidak berubah. Walau bagaimanapun, sedang estet kita semakin membesar, dengan lebih ramai
penduduk, kemudahan dan infrastruktur untuk dijaga dan dikekalkan, tugas Majlis Bandaran
menjadi lebih mencabar. Tetapi anggota majlis dan kakitangan telah menyahut cabaran untuk
menguruskan Bandar kami dengan lebih baik lagi. Sebagai contoh, kami menggunakan teknologi
dan aplikasi mudah alih yang dibina khas untuk mengesan lokasi dan membantu dalam
pengurusan hal-hal estet.

Apakah penilaian anda tentang pasukan di Majlis Bandaran ini dalam memenuhi cabarancabaran tersebut?
Pasukan kami telah melakukan tugas yang baik. Saya berharap para penduduk kami menghargai
mereka. Mereka tidak boleh berada di semua tempat pada setiap masa, jadi saya meminta para
penduduk untuk memahami perkara tersebut. Apabila saya pergi ke kawasan di sekitar estet dan
bercakap dengan pekerja pembersihan kami, mereka memberitahu saya bahawa cabaran terbesar
mereka adalah cuba untuk mengekalkan premis yang berserepah dengan sampah sarap dan
dikotorkan oleh penduduk kami sendiri. Ia mematahkan semangat mereka untuk membersihkan
berkali-kali - hanya untuk diserepahkan oleh penduduk kami sendiri - dan kemudian, penduduk
lain mengadu tentang kurangnya kebersihan.

开斋节聚餐
Hari Raya celebration
with a touch of nostalgia
A
round 280 residents of Moulmein-Kallang GRC and
Whampoa SMC gathered for Nostalgia Raya at Kolam
Ayer CC on August 31.
They came dressed in their Hari Raya best and delighted
in a wonderful time of food, fun and entertainment by
Malay artistes and cultural performers.
Members of Parliament (MPs), Assoc Prof Yaacob Ibrahim,
Mr Lui Tuck Yew, Mr Heng Chee How, Ms Denise Phua,
and Mr Edwin Tong were present for the event. The MPs
donned aprons and served the residents at the buffet
lines before joining everyone for a hearty meal and
watched the performances.
It was indeed a nostalgic afternoon as the residents left
the event smiling, touched by what they had seen and
experienced.

In full bloom
In a little over a year, the open space in front of Block 14A Upper Boon Keng Road has been transformed from
a nondescript turf to an award-winning garden.
Set up in May last year, the Boon Keng Ville Community Garden won a Platinum Award at the Community in
Bloom Awards 2014 organised by the National Parks Board.
The garden, which is slightly smaller than a badminton court, is managed by the Jalan Besar Boon Keng Ville
Residents’ Committee (RC). Since its set-up, it has harvested fruits and vegetables, including passion fruit,
grapes, papayas, ladyfingers and the flaming hot purple chilli, among others. Flowers, such as sunflower, have
also blossomed in the garden.
“The initial stages were challenging, which made the win
all the more sweet”, said Mr Yap Ee Hong, the RC’s
Vice-Chairman.
“We like gardening but we were novices. So we faced
problems, like the soil wasn’t enough or the fertiliser
wasn’t right, and some plants couldn’t grow,” Mr Yap
recalled. “We learn as we go, it’s a good experience.”
The garden has won fans besides the award. It has
welcomed visitors from both the neighbourhood and afar,
and even hosted couples taking their wedding photos.
More than the fruits of their labour – which members
share with each other and other residents – working
together on the garden has yielded something special:
friendship. “Everyone has become close friends, we’re now
like a big family, “ said Mr Yap.
Small gardens, big winners
Congratulations to all RCs in our Town on your
achievements at the Community In Bloom Awards 2014.

Food lovers’ familiar favourite reopens
The wait is over! Following extensive repairs and redecoration works by the Town Council between May and August,
Whampoa Market and Food Centre (MFC) has now reopened. And food lovers are cheering the improved and cleaner
environment, with new tables, chairs, lights and flooring, and upgraded toilets.
Here’s what our delighted residents are saying about the refreshed Whampoa MFC…
“Birds used to be a big problem. The
spikes on the ceilings are very effective
in keeping them out. It’s cleaner and
more hygienic now, it’s like a new
market!”
-Mr Low Ah Leng, duck rice stallholder
“No more gaps between the new
tables means no more plates and
glasses falling off and dirtying the
floor.”
-Mr Kamaludin Jamal and son,
Firdaus, Muslim food stallholders
“It’s cleaner, more comfortable and
feels more spacious. We missed the
food so much when the hawker
centre was closed. So now we’re here
every day to make up for it!”
-Booby and Fida, regular customers

ver wondered what goes into the
mouth-watering fish head steam boat
soup? Well, at Whampoa Keng Fish Head
Steam Boat Restaurant, it contains more
than 30 ingredients, including sugar cane,
soya bean and ikan bilis, and takes more
than two hours to boil.
The fish head steam boat is not the only
draw at the restaurant, which has outlets
in Balestier Road and Rangoon Road, and
are run by Doris Tan and Sharon Kwan,
respectively. Other must-try dishes are
prawn paste chicken, prawn roll, streetstyle tofu, prawn with salted egg yolk,
and braised pork trotter.
It is no wonder then that the restaurant is
a magnet for foodies and count among
its customers politicians and celebrities
from around the world, including Kenny
Rogers, Edison Chen and Jack Neo.

时刻注意您的安全
Keeping an
eye out for
your safety
You have probably seen them at key entrances
and exit points at your HDB lift lobby, staircase
landings and multi-storey car parks (MSCP).
Perched high above our heads are the Police’s
electronic “eyes” — Police Camera or what is
known as PolCam in short.
PolCams have been installed at 3,300 HDB
blocks and MSCPs, across all 16 Town Councils
and the 87 wards, since May 2012. If it is not
installed at your block or MSCP yet, fret not.
They will be installed in all 10,000 HDB blocks
and MSCPs by 2016.
These extra pairs of “eyes” on the ground help to
solve crime, fight emerging crime trends or serial
crimes in the neighbourhood to give you greater
peace of mind.
The results are clear. PolCam has helped the
Police solve crimes, from snatch thefts to
loansharking activities to outrage of modesty.
Just a few months ago in May, a 55-year-old
serial lift robber who targeted elderly female
victims was nabbed with the aid of PolCam. The
suspect is believed to have also committed two
cases of armed robbery.
PolCam also has a deterrent effect. It is a
prominent feature in the neighbourhood which
quickly catches people’s attention, and makes
them aware that the area is monitored so that
they will think twice before committing a crime.
While PolCam is undoubtedly a “force-multiplier”
in crime-fighting, you can play a part in making
your estate a safer place to live in. Join Citizens
on Patrol or Neighbourhood Watch Groups by
getting in touch with your Neighbourhood
Police Centre (NPC) for more information. You
can also “like” the Facebook page of your nearest
NPC to be kept updated on crime prevention
advisories and other useful information.
