OUR VISION

Celebrating a

SPARKLING ECOover a thousand residents turned up in full force to participate in the launch of Sembawang Town Council’s Green Plan, and to pick up some handy tips on how to help the environment, but also to cut down household costs in the process.

Guest-of-Honour Mr K Shanmugam, Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs, launched the event with the support of fellow MPs, Chairman of Sembawang Town Council Mr Hawazi Daipi, Dr Mohamad Maliki Osman, Mr Ong Ah Heng, Dr Lim Wee Kiak, PBM and Ms Ellen Lee, PBM.

Mr Shanmugam expressed his delight at the strong turnout and sought the ongoing support of residents in caring for the environment. He was pleased to report that the Town Council had already saved nearly $2m a year through energy saving measures.

In a bid to combat anti-social behaviour, CCTV cameras will be installed in 75% of lifts by March 2009, with the remaining being fi tted upon completion of lift upgrading over the next two years. Mr Shanmugam rounded up his address by encouraging all residents to take ownership of their environment and to make a personal commitment to do what they can to effect a positive change.

OUR VISION

Cleaners in the neighbourhood were presented with awards for their contributions towards a clean environment, and sponsors and partners were also acknowledged. As the ministers were treated to a tour of the eco exhibition, residents were entertained with performances from the Canberra Drama Group as well as a magic and balloon show that had captivated children and adults alike; and of course the event would not have been complete without the lucky draw.

A clean, green and sustainable Sembawang Town, that residents enjoy living and building their home in.

our green PlaniNTroDUCTioNOur environment is a very precious heritage. By caring for, preserving, and improving it, we leave a better place for our children and future generations. In line with the Singapore Green Plan 2010, Sembawang Town Council is committed to help slow down global warming and conserve Earth’s precious resources through a comprehensive three-pronged strategy of technology, public education & involvement and enforcement.

TEChNologyThe Town Council has implemented a number of energy saving initiatives/pilot projects over the years, including the use of T5 fl uorescent lamps with electronic ballasts, and the installation of energy-saving devices at our muti-storey car parks. The energy savings achieved through these measures have contributed to cost savings of about $2 million per year, so far, for the Town Council.

Residents’ Participation is ImportantFor a green and sustainable living environment, residents’ participation is crucial. Our residents can play a very vital role in this Green effort by reducing waste, pollution and by maintaining public and personal hygiene and cleanliness.

Socially Responsible BehaviourWith socially responsible behaviour, residents can easily help Sembawang Town become greener. Stop public littering to enjoy the double benefi ts of reducing environmental

and public-health problems and lowered cleaning costs. Remove stagnant water to prevent mosquito breeding, and refrain from urinating and spitting in public places, and from smoking in lifts. These unhygienic acts pose health hazards, and being highly inconsiderate, lead to discord among neighbours.

Reduce, Reuse, RecycleConserve natural resources and the environment by practising the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Recycling bins are provided all around the estate, giving residents an easy and convenient way to recycle waste.

Community GardeningWith 24 community gardens set up throughout the Town, residents can exercise their green fi ngers, socialise and build bonds while relaxing at their favourite green “oasis”.

In fact, numerous gardens in Sembawang Town won awards in this year’s island-wide “Community In Bloom” competition. Let’s produce yet another winner!

Green Award SchemeThe Green Award Scheme launched in October 2008 recognises and rewards commendable efforts by Residents’ Committees in spreading the “green message.

The Town Council will also continue to use communication tools like its newsletter, educational posters and notices, to reinforce its environmental-awareness promotion efforts.

ENForCEMENTTo ensure that these efforts are not hampered or negated by a few socially irresponsible individuals, Sembawang Town Council installed cameras at troubled spots in the estate, and carries out enforcement action. To further enhance our enforcement and monitoring efforts and tackle anti-social behaviour such as urination, smoking, littering and vandalism in our lifts, the Council plans to make all lifts in the Town CCTV-ready. By March 2009, 75% of the lifts in Sembawang Town will be CCTV-ready, with the balance 25% to be progressively installed when the lifts are upgraded within the next two years.

A Blooming Good Time for All!

Level 4 of Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre was transformed into a Garden in Bloom on 26 July 2008 as the Singapore Garden Festival held its Community in Bloom 2008 awards ceremony.

The Community In Bloom Awards are given to recognize community efforts in cultivating plants on common green areas, to encourage sharing of best practices, and to promote a more enjoyable gardening experience.

Woodlands Zone 2 RC representatives were present to receive the Platinum award for their award-winning garden at Block 817 Woodlands Street 82. RC Chairman Ms Corine Chua says, “The fruits of our labour have not just come in the tangible ways, but the close bonding amongst the different races and the joy of sharing the fruits with the needy and our neighbours in the community are the intangibles that are beyond description.”

Gold Award winner Nee Soon Central Zone 8 RC, is also no newcomer to the scheme, having won NPark awards before, for their garden at Block 935 Yishun Central 1. Said RC Chairman, Ms Jannie Lee, “This award belongs to all the volunteers in our group for all their hard work in maintaining our garden.”

Another Gold Award winner, Sembawang Zone E RC’s garden of herbal plants and vegetables at Block 718 Woodlands Avenue 6, is a great hit with residents. RC Chairman Mr Kenny Eng says, “We harvest a lot of herbs and vegetables and give them out to our residents.”

So make a date to visit these community gardens during your evening stroll. Who knows, you might be inspired to set up your own garden with your RC, and run for next year’s awards!

The activities began as early as 9am, with participants thronging the beach at Jalan Mempurong to test their skills at the various game stalls that were specially set up. Barely an hour later, a surge of excitement washed over the crowd as, to the pulse of throbbing music, the Guest-of-Honour Mr Khaw, accompanied by the MPs and various grassroots leaders, rode

up in speedboats to lead residents in opening the PA Water-Venture (Sembawang) Outlet.

Keeping up the beat of the high-energy morning, the GOH and MPs were quickly ushered on-stage and with a blast of horns the PA Water-Venture (Sembawang) Plaque was unveiled, signifying that the latest sea-sports and waterfront activity centre was now officially open for the enjoyment of Sembawang Town residents.

After a brisk tour of the carnival, GOH Mr Khaw and MPs flagged off the Seletar Island Expedition, which saw brave participating kayakers racing off to Seletar Island.

With such a meaningful and inspiring activity to inaugurate the morning, the PA Water-Venture (Sembawang) Outlet looks set to become the popular choice for a splashing good time!

The Tribal Cheerleaders unleashed a

mass of energy at the Amphitheatre next to

Blk 22 Marsiling Drive for the Arrival of Guest-of-

Honor Mr Hawazi Daipi, Senior Parliamentary

Secretary of Manpower & Health and MP for

Sembawang GRC (Marsiling). The Lift Upgrading

Programme (LUP) polling commenced with Mr

Hawazi Daipi’s quick snip of the ribbon.

With a trail of residents behind him, Mr Hawazi

was shown the way to the polling room, in

which, he was briefed the details of the LUP.

The residents fi led into the polling station where

the HDB offi cers were at hand to assist them in

clarifying any doubt or any last minute enquiry

they might have before casting their votes.

After an electric band performance by Hellven,

a local Japanese Rock band known for their

harajuku looks, Mr Hawazi made his way up

the stage for his opening address. The night’s

programme followed with a series of Qi Gong

demostration by the Nam Wah Pai Qi Gong

Group other displays.

The LUP would provide 100 percent lift

accessibility, which in turn would improve

the mobility within the blocks, improving the

standards of living for residents. The cost of

the LUP would be heavily subsidised by the

government and residents would only need to

pay a small fraction of the total cost to enjoy

the direct lift access.

Sowing for rewards. LUP Polling

lUP polling for the lift upgrades at Nee Soon Central kicked off with magic show by local talents and brought laughter to block 772 yishun Avenue 3.

During his speech, Guest-of-Honour Mr Ong Ah Heng, MP for Nee Soon Central Consituency, Vice- Chairman of Sembawang Town Council strongly encouraged the residents to vote for the upgrades. His emphasis on the upgrades for the convenience of the elderly brought upon many approval nods from the listening crowds. Mr Ong gave the green light for the polling with the ribbon- cutting ceremony. Within the polling booth, many residents busied themselves with the artist’s visuals on display and a booklet that refl ect the updates they would be expecting.

The residents were treated to the buffet spread with lovely snacks and wonderful food. Many of them chance upon Mr Ong to exchange conversations and warm hand shakes.

Block 772 Yishun Avenue 3 void deck, fi lled with residents fi nds itself roaring with laughter. The atmosphere is certainly boisterous and enjoyable.

The current lift in service is not directly accessible for all residents and poses inconvenience for the elderly and handicapped residents. Even housewives fi nd themselves in sticky situations whenever they go grocery shopping.

On a happy note, the residents voted overwhelmingly in support of the upgrading. Residents can sit back and welcome the upgrades with open arms to a better lifestyle.

biggest nature area within a park for residents in Woodlands and the vicinity

Woodlands residents can now have a closer experience with nature, with the opening of Phase Two of Admiralty Park, situated at Riverside Road, beside the Republic Polytechnic.

Offi cially opened on 4 October 2008 by Minister for Health and MP for Sembawang GRC, Mr Khaw Boon Wan, and fellow MPs Mr K Shanmugam, Dr Lim Wee Kiak, and Ms Ellen Lee, the opening ceremony was attended by 1,200 guests, including residents and students of the vicinity.

The 27-hectare Admiralty Park is the largest park in the North West district to offer both recreational amenities and a mangrove swamp, incorporating a 20-hectare nature area with a rich variety of animals and plants. The Park also has a hilly terrain that is shaped like a river valley to refl ect the history of the site, which used to have a river (Sungei Cina) running through it.

Home to over 100 species of animals and plants, Admiralty Park is the only park in the vicinity to offer three types of habitats – open grassland, tropical rainforest and mangroves. Visitors can also take a walk on the three boardwalks and a 2-km nature trail to enjoy the Park’s rustic surroundings, as well as learn more about the fl ora and fauna from the educational signboards installed in the area.
