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.
