National Day Award 2010

Our Vice Chairman, Miss Janet Ng was conferred the Public Service Medal (PBM) by His Excellency, Mr. S R Nathan, the President of the Republic of Singapore.

Miss Janet has tirelessly served the Palm View community in the past 22 years and held various grassroots leadership appointments. She is definitely a well known personality in Palm View as well as in Kebun Baru Constituency. We extend our heartiest congratulations to her great achievement.

Rubbish Everywhere

I wonder if you had the same experience as me when walking in the neighborhood during the morning hours. I am always greeted with much rubbish at the lift lobbies and the void decks, on the open ground and places around the bulky item disposal bin. The rubbish bins were ransacked at times too. This rubbish and inconsiderate behaviour never stopped to come back every morning. Are we generating too much rubbish for our mother earth? Or are we just trying to create job opportunity for that cleaning lady from the Town Council? What happen to all these years of public education campaigns to keep our living environment clean? What else can we do to improve this situation?

Killer Litters

A few days ago, someone threw a glass bottle down from Blk 224. It landed on the ground without hurting anyone, xxxx so lucky! What happened to this particular chap??? Didn't he has a rubbish chute in his house or he was just simply too lazy to reach for it?? Worst, he may be drunk!

National Day Observance Ceremony

Date: 9 Aug 2010
Time: 7.30am to 10am
Place: Kebun Baru Mall

Unlike the previous practice of holding the ceremony in a school multi-purpose hall, the 45th National Day cerebration was held at the crowded Kebun Baru Mall this year. Together with our Adviser, Mr. Inderjit Singh and many senior grassroots leaders, we started the day by doing some warm-up exercises followed by a short distance jog. The flag raising/ pledge taking ceremony was conducted despite the light rain. In his speech, Mr. Inderjit Singh gave thanks to everyone for their unwavering support during his past 15 years as Member of Parliament for Kebun Baru Constituency. He then announced and congratualted this year National Day Award recipients (from our zone) as well as the impending change of grassroots leadership at all levels to continue the good work of serving our residents. Mr. Inderjit Singh also presented the long service awards to some of our grassroots leaders. There were many spectacular performances put up by Ang Mo Kio Primary School, Palm View Senior Citizens' Club and Spring Residents' Committee. Our residents were given treats such as pop corns, candy floss, breads, New Water and the $3 food coupons which they used to purchase meals at nearby Food Centers. We thanked all for your patriotism and enthusiasm shown in coming together to commenmorate our nation's 45th birthday!

New Citizens Celebrate National Day

Our new citizens with young children participated in a "Recycling" project organised by the Central Singapore District to commemorate the Earth Day. This is a fringe event of the National Day celebration held at Bishan. A total of 3 families (from Blk 226, 233 and 235) came together to make a National Flag out of recycle items such as plastic bags, cotton wool, styrofoams, cardboards, egg trays etc. Our Integration and Neutralisation Sub-Committee members, Mr Kenny Chew (4th from left) and Mdm Devi (3rd from right) were there to help co-ordinate the efforts.

Indiscriminate Bicycle Parking

There are many bicycles parked indiscriminately in common areas. They caused inconvenience to residents as these bicycles tend to obstruct walkways and public seating facilities. They are unsightly to the surroundings as well. We strongly urge the owners of these bicycles to park them at the assigned parking areas.

Ministerial Community Visit

Location Held: Kebun Baru Mall

Date: 27 Jun 2010

The miniterial visit went smoothly without a hitch; even the slight rain did not dampen the mood of our residents and volunteers. The residents were very enthusiastic about meeting the Minister which had been a great success for us. The Indian musical group, Malay Kompang and Lion/Dragon dance troop provided a roaring multi-racial welcome for the Minister while the pompom-carrying children put smiles on faces with their innocent looks and adorable cheers.

Many people gathered around the performing area to watch the various performances. Two of those we want to specify on are the Myanmar traditional dance by a new citizen which taught us her native country’s culture and the Wushu that showed ferocity and strength, and raised the interest of the crowd. The booths put up by the E2C, SPF,LTA, SCDF, WDA and NTUC Learning Hub taught life skills and handed out souvenirs generously. The candy floss, sculpture balloons and the Wii games attracted both children and adults alike!

We like to thank the residents for supporting us and taking interest in this event. Without your help and your enthusiasm, this visit could never have been such a wonderful success.

Unserviceable Bicycles

Some bicycles parked at the void deck are unserviceable (with missing parts) and they seemed to have left unattended for a long period of time. We prefer to give our limited parking lots to regular bicycle users therefore we strongly advise the owners to remove these unserviceable bicycles

About Us

Our Vision - A unique community with strong grassroots leadership and high level of volunteerism and active community involvement among the residents

我们的愿景 - 一个拥有强大基层领袖体制以及更多居民参与志愿工作与活动的独特社区

Our Mission - Maintain a cordial relationship with residents and governmental agencies while reinvent and revitalize to recreate the kampung spirit in our community

我们的使命 - 在保持对居民以及各政府机构和谐关系的同时，重造具有活力的社区甘榜精神

The Residents' Committee (also known as RC) was formed on 1st July 1978. It was one of the earliest RCs being set-up in Singapore.   We are located at Blk 225 #01-567 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1. We take care of Block No. 221 to 235 which includes the Kebun Baru Mall (Blk 226A to H) consisting a few blocks of shop houses, a wet market and 2 food centers. Our role is to promote good citizenship, neighbourliness, harmony and cohesiveness among our residents. We also make recommendations to government agencies through the Peoples' Association on the needs and aspirations of our residents as well as to disseminate information to residents pertaining to government policies and help gather/channel feedback from residents to the relevant authorities.   In addition, we liaise with the various agencies such as the Ang Mo Kio Town Council, HDB and NEA on issues pertaining to property maintenance and environmental hygiene/cleanliness while working closely with the Police and SCDF to enhance the safety and security throughout our zone.

The Senior Citizens’ Club (also known as SCC) located at Blk 231 #01-1242 is a sub-committee organized under the purview of the RC. The SCC spearheads activities for our senior residents (age 50 and above) to promote healthy living and active ageing.

The committee members of both RC and SCC are made up of volunteers from different races, age groups and walks of life. Their passion and desire to serve our community in whatever capacity are most admired and appreciated. We therefore wish to invite more residents from Blk 221 to 235 to join us as Grassroots Members to experience volunteerism and subsequently becoming our committee members when you are ready to contribute more time. Together we can better advance the goals and objectives of the RC in pursuing a more vibrant and cohesive community so as to relive the kampung spirit in Singapore. You may complete the application form to become one of our most valued volunteers or email us at kebunbarupalmview@gmail.com to indicate your area of interest.
