Rebuildingthe Kampung Spirit

sembawang town council June14

The future of Sembawang Town is taking shape right before our very eyes. Earlier in April, we had a groundbreaking ceremony

for Singapore’s first integrated building. Located just next to Admiralty MRT station, Kampung Admiralty is designed to bring back the kampung spirit of yesteryear. There are studio apartments, community plaza, roof garden, food centre, shops and medical facilities to evoke the “gotong royong” (mutual help) way of life, bringing benefits to everyone.

We unveiled ACE the Place Community Club in March to celebrate the opening of yet another club where we can enjoy favourite recreational activities together with our families and friends. Our Sembawang Town is known for our strong community bonding, and it is this cohesiveness that helped us raise nearly $6,000 for charity through the sale of locally grown vegetables during the recent Sembawang GRC Community Garden Festival-cum-Sports Day.

In a courageous display of neighbourliness, Marsiling resident Ms Zhu ran up eight floors to save her elderly neighbour when a fire broke out at their block. We give our thanks for her kindness and bravery.

Thankfully, there were no serious casualties caused by the fire, but let us remind ourselves to always observe fire safety habits at all times. Remember, obstructions in the corridor and other common areas pose a danger during emergencies. Should you or a neighbour need help to dispose of bulky household items, remember to call the Town Council at 6368 3100 for assistance.

As we move into the second half of 2014, let us continue to strive to build bonds with each other and bring up the good old kampung spirit in our Sembawang Town.

Daerah Majlis Bandaran Sembawang kita sedang mengalami satu perubahan yang pesat. Ini dapat disaksikan di hadapan

mata kita sendiri. Pada bulan April lalu, kita telah mengadakan satu majlis pembetonan untuk bangunan bersepadu yang pertama di Singapura. Terletak bersebelahan dengan Stesen MRT Admiralty, Kampung Admiralty direka untuk mengembalikan semangat perkampungan yang silam. Di sinilah akan dibangunkan sebuah apartmen studio, plaza komuniti, taman berbumbung, kedai membeli -belah dan juga pelbagai kemudahan perubatan. Kami harap ia dapat membangkitan semula dan mengukuhkan semangat gotong-royong dalam masyarakat.

Pada bulan Mac pula kita dapat saksikan perasmian ACE The Place - sebuah kelab masyarakat yang mempunyai beraneka aktiviti rekreasi untuk rakan dan seisi keluarga. Kita semua sedia maklum bahawa bandar Sembawang kita sudah lama dikenali sebagai sebuah bandar yang mempunyai penduduk yang berjiwa kemasyarakatan. Ini jelas semasa menyambut Pesta Taman Masyarakat dan Hari Sukan GRC Sembawang tempoh hari di mana kita berjaya mengumpulkan hampir $ 6,000 untuk sebuah rumah kebajikan dengan menjual sayur-sayuran hasil titik peluh kita sendiri.

Baru-baru ini, kita juga dapat menyaksikan satu sifat kemasyarakatan dan keberanian yang luar biasa oleh Puan Zhu. Tanpa menghiraukan keselamatan dirinya sendiri, beliau telah berjaya menyelamatkan seorang jiran tua sewaktu kebakaran berlaku di bloknya tidak lama dulu.

Syukurlah, tiada seorang pun yang cedera berat dalam kejadian tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun kita harus selalu berwaspada supaya peristiwa yang sedemikian tidak berulang kembali. Akhir kata, jangan lupa, bahawa halangan di koridor dan kawasan umum dapat menimbulkan bahaya lebih-lebih lagi sewaktu kecemasan. Sekiranya bantuan diperlukan untuk membuang barangan besar yang tidak mahu diguna-pakai lagi, sila hubungi Majlis Bandaran di talian 6368 3100.

Marilah kita terus mengeratkan hubungan antara satu sama lain dan memperkukuhkan lagi semangat perkampugan di Bandar Sembawang kita sambil kita memasuki enam bulan terakhir tahun 2014.

三巴旺城的未来在我们眼前渐具雏形。在四月份，我们举行了新加坡首个甘榜式综合大厦的奠基仪式。座落在海军部地铁站旁的海军

部村庄，重现了昔日的「甘榜精神」。那里有小型公寓、广场、屋顶花园、商店和医疗保健服务设施，唤醒守望相助(gotong royong)的邻里甘榜精神，令所有人受惠。

我们在三月庆祝了ACE地方小区俱乐部(ACE the Place Community Club)的开幕。在那里，我们可以跟家人和朋友一起享受最喜爱的休闲活动。三巴旺城以紧密的小区关系闻名，正是这种凝聚力，帮助我们在最近的三巴旺集选区小区花园节暨体育节，筹到了近6000元的善款。

家庭主妇Ms Zhu以勇气展了睦邻精神。她跑了八层楼梯把年老的邻居从火场中救了出来。我们衷心感谢她的善良和勇敢。

幸运地，这场火灾没有造成严重伤亡，但提醒了我们务必时刻留意消防安全。请谨记，在走廊和其它公共区域的障碍物在紧急情况下会构成危险。如果您或您的邻居需要协助移走大型家具，请拨电话6368 3100向市镇理事会求助。

正当我们步入2014年下半年之际，让我们继续努力建立紧密联系，在三巴旺城唤起旧日的甘榜精神。

Rebuilding The Kampung SpiRiTBack to the good old kampung days! We gathered to celebrate the ground breaking for a new integrated building at Admiralty.

With the pull of a lever, Minister of National Development Mr Khaw Boon Wan symbolically broke ground for an upcoming integrated building that promises to bring back the good old kampung spirit.

Located just next to Admiralty MRT station, “Kampung Admiralty” will be a one-stop hub, encouraging social interaction and active living through communal spaces and facilities. We can expect our new community-living-friendly block to be completed in 2017.

Together with hundreds of people, we joined the specially held groundbreaking ceremony on 26 April to get a better glimpse of the new facility. There will be something for everyone at the integrated building. Separated into three tiers, the development will house retail outlets and a community plaza on the ground, with a hawker centre and medical facilities in the middle. Studio apartments, elder and childcare facilities, and a community park make up the top tier.

Fellow Admiralty resident, Mr Kamal Kadir, said: “Having a medical centre and childcare facilities in one location will make it convenient for me to go for check-ups and send my grandchildren to day-care when the building is complete.”

We’re excited to see the new communal spaces such as the plaza and the community park, which stand to be the focal points of the new kampung. The plaza on the ground floor will host activities and programmes. The park will have fruit trees and a community farm where we can plant herbs and vegetables, much like the many community gardens dotting our town.

Apart from a showcase of the future facilities, our young residents entertained us with dance and music performances. Ketupat weaving booths, and kacang putih and potong ice-cream stalls brought a sense of nostalgia to us at the event.

With all these facilities and communal spaces in one spot, we hope it will grow into a bustling and vibrant kampung – embodying all the best things we remember one to be.

membangkitkan Semula Semangat perkampunganSeronok kembali ke zaman kampung! Kami berkumpul untuk meraikan majlis pecah tanah bangunan bersepadu yang baru di Admiralty.

Dengan satu tarikan tuil, Menteri Pembangunan Negara, Encik Khaw Boon Wan secara simbolik menggerudi tanah untuk pembinaan sebuah bangunan bersepadu yang menjanjikan untuk kembalikan semangat kampung.

Terletak bersebelahan stesen MRT Admiralty, “Kampung Admiralty” akan menjadi pusat sehenti yang menggalakkan interaksi sosial dan gaya hidup aktif melalui ruang dan kemudahan komunal. Kami boleh jangkakan blok mesra-hidup-berkomuniti baru ini untuk siap pada tahun 2017.

Bersama ratusan orang, kami menyertai majlis khas pecah tanah yang diadakan pada 26 April, untuk mendapatkan gambaran kemudahan baru ini. Bangunan bersepadu ini boleh dimanfaatkan semua orang. Terbahagi kepada tiga bahagian, pembangunan ini akan menempatkan kedai-kedai runcit dan sebuah plaza komuniti di bahagian bawah, dengan pusat penjaja dan kemudahan perubatan di bahagian tengah. Apartmen studio, kemudahan penjagaan warga tua dan kanak-kanak dan sebuah taman komuniti pula membentuk bahagian atas.

Seorang penduduk Admiralty, Encik Kamal Kadir, berkata: “Dengan adanya pusat perubatan dan kemudahan penjagaan kanak-kanak di satu lokasi, lebih mudah bagi saya untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kesihatan dan menghantar cucu saya ke pusat jagaan harian apabila bangunan ini selesai.”

Kami ghairah melihat ruang komunal baru seperti plaza dan taman komuniti, yang menjadi titik tumpuan kampung baru ini. Plaza di tingkat bawah akan digunakan untuk aktiviti dan program. Di taman pula, akan adanya pokok buah-buahan dan ladang komuniti di mana kami boleh menanam herba dan sayur-sayuran, sama seperti taman-taman komuniti lain yang menghiasi bandar kami.

Selain daripada mempamerkan kemudahan masa depan, penduduk kami muda menghiburkan kami dengan pertunjukan tarian dan muzik. Gerai menganyam ketupat, dan gerai kacang putih dan ais krim potong membawa nostalgia kepada kami di majlis ini.

Dengan semua kemudahan dan ruang komunal di satu tempat, kami berharap ia akan berkembang menjadi kampung yang sibuk dan bersemangat - yang akan mengingatkan kami tentang zaman kampung dahulu.

甘榜精神再现回到美好的甘榜时代!我们聚首一堂，一同庆祝位于海军部路全新的

综合大厦奠基仪式。

国家发展部长许文远拉动杠杆，像征重现美好甘榜精神的综合大厦正式动工。

座落在海军部地铁站旁的「海军部村庄」是一站式的枢纽，提供公共空间和设施，鼓励社区互动和积极的生活。预计这个社区生活友好的大厦将于2017年建成。

我们在4月26日跟数百人一起参与奠基仪式，认识新设施。这个综合大厦照顾了每一个人的需要。建筑物分为三层。地面是广场和零售中心; 中层是食阁和医疗保健服务设施; 而顶层由小型公寓、托儿中心、老年设施和屋顶花园组成。

海军部居民Kamal Kadir表示:「医疗保健服务设施和托儿服务集中在一个地点，建成之后，可以方便我进行身体检查和送小孩到日间托儿中心。」

我们也很高兴看见新的公共空间，例如广场和屋顶花园，这些都是新甘榜的焦点。在地面的广场可以举行活动和节目，而屋顶花园就会有果树和社区菜园，可以种植草药和蔬菜，就像市镇内的多个社区菜园一样。

除了展示未来的设施之外，我们的年轻居民也以舞蹈和音乐表演娱宾。马来粽、红豆和波东冰淇淋的摊位增添了怀旧味道。

这里集合了设施和公共空间于一身，我们希望它会发展成一个繁华而充满活力的甘榜–包含了我们记忆中所有美好的事物。

A New Place for that Ace Weekend!

A brand new four-storey community club is in our midst! ACE the Place Community Club (CC) opened its doors on 2 March 2014 to the delight of eager residents keen to get a glimpse of what the new CC has to offer.

Located at 120 Woodlands Ave 1, ACE is furbished with facilities like an indoor water playground, a wellness room, dance studios, music studios and even a 24-hour gym. Previously, the CC was located at the void deck of a HDB flat; this new centre is approximately eight times bigger than the previous compound, better meeting residents’ lifestyle and recreational needs.

Officiating the opening ceremony, guest-of-honor Mr Khaw Boon Wan said that the facilities now better reflect the needs and aspirations of the residents. He added that “the basis of forming community centres remains the same, which is to build a place for people to bond, to bring residents together to socialise, learn a skill, learn a hobby, engage in leisure activities and, more importantly, forge a sense of community.”

ACE, which is an acronym for Admiralty’s Community Experience, aims to foster family ties through the provision of programmes and space to forge lasting experiences and memories together. The new CC is expected to serve about 52,000 Admiralty residents.

Welcome Party for residents

June 2014 7

We had a wonderful time at the welcome party organised by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) on 7 May for residents of Treegrove@Woodlands. With 150 of us at the event, we were there to help make the new residents feel at home.

As a way of getting to know our new neighbours and make new friends, the day started with a community potluck and reception. Some of us were approached to prepare delicious local dishes like bee hoon and dumplings for our fellow neighbours to enjoy.

“It is a great way to get to know your neighbours”, said Madam Wang and Madam Tan, who had only just met that morning.

With game booths and children running around, the atmosphere was a festive one. We played games like “Find it With Your Neighbour” and participated in the “Friends Next Door” photo contest. We also got

to enjoy performances by Woodlands Zone 4 RC Dance-fit Club and Children’s Indian dance, Suzie Wong, and The J Show.

Guest-of-honour Ms Ellen Lee mingled with the crowd and also us in our community potluck. She encouraged new residents to enjoy their neighbourhood facilities like the Woodlands Galaxy CC, and informed them that there are many improvement works to look forward to, such as covered walkways that will be added in time. New residents Mr and Mrs Kong got their keys in December of 2013 and had their renovations done just in time to invite their relatives over for Chinese New Year. When asked if they enjoyed their new flat, both responded with a hearty “Yes”. “We love the location and the friendly neighbourhood atmosphere,” said the happy couple.

A FABulous TimeResidents of Sembawang Zone J got to know each other better over a Familiarisation and Bonding (FAB) party organised by the HDB on 17 May.

The cordial event began with an engaging storytelling session which revolved around the theme of being good neighbours. For the 40 children present, they had a good time participating in the story-telling while learning the importance of community spirit. During the evening, we were also treated to popcorn and other complimentary snacks, while enjoying the various interactive booths set up to deliver educational messages such as window safety and dengue prevention.

A colouring contest and photo frame decorating workshop kept the young ones thoroughly entertained. Mr Khaw Boon also dropped by and took the time to personally greet and interact with us, ultimately posing for a group photo with the participants of the Heartland Familiarisation Tour upon their return. With fire-eating performances and lucky draws, our attention never strayed. It was a fulfilling day getting to know our neighbours better, and we look forward to growing stronger bonds with them!

of Treegrove@WoodlandsA New Place for that Ace Weekend!

The five community gardens within the Sembawang Group Representative Constituency (GRC) have outdone themselves. Contributing over 250kg of their vegetables to the first-ever farmer’s market held at Republic Polytechnic, the groups managed to sell their harvest and raise a stellar $5,900 for Man Fut Tong Nursing Home.

The farmers’ market for our community gardens was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the Sembawang Sports Festival held on 6 April, which saw over 2,000 participants and visitors throughout the day. We had our pick from the diverse selection of vegetables on sale: from kalian, lettuce, corn, brinjal to herbs and spices. The resident farmers even let us pay the amount of money we deemed reasonable. Many of us who are particular about the use of pesticides and herbicides were also happy to know no such substances were used on their crops.

Amongst the five participating groups was the Marsiling PAP Community Foundation (Block 32). Their vegetables were grown with love and effort by the adorable pre-schoolers, their parents and their teachers in their

school’s little garden. Early that morning, we even saw the children and their teachers diligently stacking their

pots of produce. Later on, the stalls were graced by Mr Khaw Boon Wan, Ms Ellen Lee, Mr Vikram Nair and Mr Ong Teng Koon. They were delighted at how fresh the vegetables were, and were pleased with how the community garden initiative has helped charity.

Ms Salbiah Osman of Woodlands Zone 2, a Community in Bloom (CIB) ambassador, said: “Such activities increase the community’s love for gardening! It has also allowed me to get to know my neighbours better.”

Apart from the successful farmer’s market, the festival was also filled with many high-energy sporting

activities. We first warmed up with the 1.6km brisk walk, and later turned up the

heat with the mass Zumba dance. Apart from watching the tournaments

taking place that day, residents who attended also got to enjoy and win prizes from the many game booths.

COMMUNITY IN BLOOM

锦簇社区

三巴旺集选区(GRC)的五个社区菜园真了不起。他们捐出250公斤蔬菜给共和理工学院首次举办的农夫集市进行义卖，为万佛堂疗养院筹得$5,900善款。

我们的社区菜园农夫集市，毫无疑问是四月六日举行的三巴旺体育节其中一个焦点。当天有超过二千名参加者和游客到访。我们有不同种类的蔬菜可供选择: 芥兰、生菜、玉米、茄子、草药和香料。种植蔬菜的居民更任由我们以合理价钱买菜。对于那些不习惯用杀虫剂和除草剂的人们来说，很高兴知道他们的农作物并没有使用这些化学品。

五个参与义卖的社区菜园，包括马西岭行动党社区基金 (32座)。 他们的蔬菜是由幼儿园小朋友、家长和老师们，在学校的小小菜园里以爱心和努力种出来的。当天早上，我们更看见幼儿园的小朋友和老师们，用心地堆起一盆盆农产品。稍后时间，许文远、李玉云、维凯和王鼎昆等都前来参观。他们都很高兴看见如此新鲜的蔬菜，以及社区菜园的善举。

兀兰第二区的锦簇社区大使Salbiah Osman 说:「这些活动令居民更加喜爱种植农作物!也令我可以更好地认识我的邻居。」

除了成功举办农夫集市之外，体育节也有很多高能量的体育活动。我们先以1.6公里的快步走来热身，然后一起跳尊巴舞，把热潮推向高峰。居民除了欣赏当天举行的赛事之外，也可以在各个游戏摊位大显身手和赢取奖品。

Mekarnya Sebuah MasyarakatLima taman-taman komuniti di Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Kumpulan Sembawang (GRC) telah membuat pencapaian luarbiasa. Mereka menyumbang lebih 250kg sayur-sayuran untuk pasar tani pertama yang diadakan di Politeknik Republik. Kumpulan-kumpulan berjaya menjual hasil tuaian mereka untuk mengumpul $5900 yang diberikan kepada Rumah Rawatan Man Fut Tong.

Pasar tani untuk taman-taman komuniti sudah pastinya menjadi salah satu acara menarik Pesta Sukan Sembawang yang diadakan pada 6 April. Ia menarik lebih 2,000 peserta dan pengunjung sepanjang hari. Kami mempunyai banyak pilihan dari pelbagai sayur-sayuran yang dijual : dari kailan , salad , jagung, terung hingga ke herba dan rempah. Para petani pula membenarkan kami membayar jumlah wang yang kami anggapi berpatutan. Kebanyakan di kalangan kami yang bimbang tentang penggunaan racun perosak dan racun herba pula berasa lega kerana bahan-bahan tersebut tidak digunakan pada tanaman mereka.

Di antara lima kumpulan yang mengambil bahagian adalah Yayasan Masyarakat PAP Marsiling (Blok 32). Sayur-sayuran mereka telah ditanam dengan penuh kasih sayang oleh kanak-kanak prasekolah, ibu bapa dan guru-guru di taman kecil sekolah mereka. Awal pagi itu, kami berpeluang melihat anak-anak dan guru-guru menyusun pasu-pasu hasil mereka dengan tekun. Selepas itu, gerai-gerai telah dirasmikan oleh Encik Khaw Boon Wan, Cik Ellen Lee, Encik Vikram Nair dan Encik Ong Teng Koon. Mereka gembira melihat sayur-sayuran yang segar dan gembira dengan inisiatif taman komuniti yang telah berjaya menyumbang kepada amal.

Cik Salbiah Osman daripada Woodlands Zon 2, duta Community-In-Bloom (CIB), berkata: “Aktiviti sedemikian meningkatkan cinta masyarakat kepada perkebunan! Ia juga membolehkan saya untuk mengenali jiran-jiran saya dengan lebih baik.”

Selain daripada kejayaan pasar tani, pesta itu juga dipenuhi dengan pelbagai aktiviti sukan tenaga tinggi. Kami mulakan dengan berjalan pantas sejauh 1.6km, dan kemudian berseronok dengan tarian Zumba massa.

On 15 March, dozens of grassroots volunteers went with Ms Ellen Leeon a cleanup around Woodlands. After gathering in the morning at the Woodlands CC, we made half a dozen stops across the neighbourhood, meeting resident volunteers at each one. Everyone put their backs into their tasks, combining their efforts with those of the roving band of cleaners to get their sites sparkling clean.

Litter was picked up, floors swept and drains unclogged. The dry spell at the time had several drains filled to the brim with dead leaves. Ms Lee also pointed out the thick clumps of dead vegetation that were fire hazards, and set to work clearing them.

When the cleanup was finally complete, everyone made their way back to the Woodlands CC. We all posed for a big group picture on the roof to commemorate how far a little community spirit can bring us when it comes to keeping Woodlands clean and green!

GOOD NEIGHBOURS CAN SAVE LIVESBorn of simple care and concern for her elderly neighbour, Ms Zhu’s remarkable act helped to save lives when a fire struck.

Ms Zhu Yu Ling, 37, redefines what it means to be a good neighbour. Instead of running for safety when a fire enveloped her block in choking black smoke on 4 April, the resident of Block 29 Marsiling Drive ran up eight stories to rescue her elderly neighbour..

When Ms Zhu first noticed the thick smoke, she went to the police station to alert them of the danger. Despite being told that the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) has already been notified, she still felt uneasy and worried for her 80-year-old neighbour, Mdm Seet, who had trouble walking.

Worried for her neighbour, she rushed back up with the intention of finding the old woman and helping her to safety. Knocking vigorously on the door, she unfortunately did not receive any response from Mdm Seet, who was accompanied only by her foreign domestic worker who lived with her. Just then, the SCDF arrived to break down the door. Still, Ms Zhu’s attempts to help her neighbours did not stop there; she dashed upstairs to tell the others to evacuate.

Thanks to Ms Zhu’s initiative, no one was hurt in the crisis.

Ms Zhu, who showed compassion and courage in the face of emergency, demonstrated the value of being alert and ready to help in times of needs. Let us be proud of her selflessness, and allow her actions to inspire us to be civic conscious neighbours ourselves; to be aware of our community and the role we play in it.

Home fires are an ever present danger. Help protect you and your loved ones with some Fire Safety Tips on the right!

Witnessed a similarly inspiring act of courage and good neighbourliness, or know someone who did? Hearttalk wants to know all about it! Write in to us with your experience at feedback@sbtc.org.sg (subject: my good neighbour) and your story may just appear in future Hearttalk issues!

Don’t call me a hero. I don’t think of myself as that because I’m just doing my job as a neigbour. After all, we live in the same block and I believe we should look out for each other. I feel happy helping others, and really expect nothing in return.

- Alicia, 11, daughter of Ms Zhu

I thought she was very brave. My mum is a good neighbour, and I think good neighbours are those who will trust and help each other like they’re one big family.

谁将受惠

Pioneer PAckAge - exPLAined!The Pioneer Generation (PG) package that was announced in February this year seeks to pay tribute to a special group of Singaporeans for their contributions during the early days of nation-building. An estimated 450,000 Singaporeans is expected to benefit from this package.

In an effort to promote the awareness of the Package, as well as to reach out to more senior citizens and their families, various Grassroots Organisations have been planning public education programmes to explain the extra financial support available for their healthcare needs.

Near us, the Marsiling Citizens’ Consultative Committee also stepped up and recently organised a coffee session on 20 April where volunteers were present to interact with and educate the elderly residents about the package.

While a number of us may not qualify for the assistance ourselves, we have elderly parents or relatives around us who will potentially benefit from the scheme, and whom may need our help in explaining it to them.

To assist you in understanding the Pioneer Package, here’s a handy infographic that summarises the key benefits. For more information, visit http://www.cpf.gov.sg/pioneers/pg.asp

Penerangan Pakej generasiPakej Generasi Perintis (PGP) yang diumumkan pada bulan Februari tahun ini bertujuan untuk memberi penghormatan kepada sekumpulan khas rakyat Singapura atas sumbangan mereka pada pembangunan awal negara. Dianggarkan 450,000 rakyat Singapura akan mendapat manfaat daripada pakej ini.

Dalam usaha untuk menggalakkan kesedaran tentang pakej ini dan untuk mendekati warga emas serta keluarga mereka, pelbagai Organisasi Akar Umbi telah merancang program pendidikan awam untuk menjelaskan bantuan kewangan tambahan yang disediakan untuk keperluan penjagaan kesihatan mereka.

Jawatankuasa Perundingan Rakyat Marsiling yang berdekatan juga telah ke hadapan baru-baru ini dengan menganjurkan sesi kopi pada 20 April, di mana sukarelawan berinteraksi dengan dan mendidik warga emas tentang pakej ini.

Walaupun ada di kalangan antara kita mungkin tidak memenuhi syarat untuk menerima bantuan ini, kita mempunyai ibu bapa yang sudah lanjut usia atau saudara-mara di sekeliling kita yang boleh manfaatkan skim ini, dan mereka mungkin memerlukan bantuan kita untuk memberi penerangan.

Untuk membantu anda dalam memahami Pakej Perintis, berikut adalah infografik berguna yang menjelaskan faedah-faedah utama. Untuk maklumat lanjut, sila lungsuri http://www.cpf.gov.sg/pioneers/pg.asp

建国一代配套 - 阐释!今年二月公布的建国一代配套 (PG) 旨在向建国初期作出贡献的国民致敬。估计有450,000名国民可受惠于此配套。

为了加强推广配套以及让更多年长者和家人知道这个配套，不同的基层组织启动了公众教育活动，解释适用于他们健保需要的额外财政支持。

马西岭公民咨询委员会最近在4月20日举办了一个茶会，义工人员在场向年长居民讲解配套的详情。

虽然我们部份人未必符合得到援助的资格，但我们身边也有年长的父母或亲属，他们都可受惠于这个计划，也需要我们向他们讲解配套的详情。

为了让你了解更多建国一代配套的详情，这里附上总括了主要措施的资料图表。如欲知道更多信息，请浏览 http://www.cpf.gov.sg/pioneers/pg.asp
