LUNAR NEW YEAR
IN EAST COAST
East Coast residents came together to usher in the Year of the Horse with family, friends and
lots of food! At various division events, residents exchanged auspicious wishes of good health
and prosperity with one another and their Members of Parliament. Non-Chinese residents also
joined in the celebrations with much enthusiasm, taking in the cultural and traditional aspects
of Lunar New Year. Hong bao distributions of essential household items ensured that needy
residents were not left out of the festive cheer. Here’s wishing all residents a blessed and
prosperous Year of the Horse ahead!

Select an image
source. Take a photo,
choose from your
picture library, or
submit a feedback
report without a photo.
STEP 02
Select the location of
your report.
Describe the issue and
submit the report.
STEP 03
The information will be
directed to the relevant
town council, which
can then resolve the
problem.

Chingay in the Heartlands
Even though the Chingay Parade has Chinese roots, it has evolved into a multicultural
extravaganza that showcases Singapore’s community spirit and cultural richness. The Parade
came to our town on 15 February, livening up the various divisions with dazzlingly decorated
floats and boisterous celebrations.
Mascots like the God of Fortune and roving balloon sculptors and jugglers spread cheer to
residents on the ground. There were lion and dragon dances as well as stage performances to
stimulate the crowd’s eyes and ears, while booths for calligraphy, sand art, clay figurines and
origami kept everyone’s hands busy. Our Members of Parliament also joined in the celebrations,
lighting firecrackers to launch the float procession.

KEEP MOSQUITOES AT BAY!
Because of the heavy shedding of leaves during this dry spell, there is an increase in the number of
Culex mosquitoes islandwide, as they multiply in hundreds as compared to the Aedes mosquito.
We have stepped up our efforts to clear leaf litter (especially in concealed drains), as well as our
fumigation efforts to control the mosquito population. Although the Culex mosquito is not known
to cause dengue fever, it is still a nuisance to residents.

CLE AN E R AIR
FOR ALL
With effect from 15 January 2013, these places have been designated as smoke-free areas.
Secondhand smoke contributes to a range of serious and often fatal diseases. Hence, we encourage smokers to play their part to
observe the ban. We also encourage non-smokers to be gracious when they see smokers lighting up in a prohibited area, reminding
them gently that smoking is banned and requesting them to finish their cigarette elsewhere. Together, we can make Singapore a
cleaner and healthier place for all to live in.
All common areas including:
Residential Estates
Linkways from bus stops to residential blocks
Void decks
Corridors
Staircases
Stairwells
Multi-purpose halls
Public Spaces
Covered walkways and linkways

CHINGAY@FENGSHAN 2014
15 February was a day of festivities in Fengshan, with both Lunar New Year and Chingay celebrations
livening up the atmosphere. There were stage games and performances to entertain residents, as
well as roving buskers and mascots. As part of Fengshan’s new signature ‘lo hei’ activity, residents
tossed fishes made out of red packets into a net for prosperity and good luck. After the sun went
down, a fleet of 30 Harley Davidson motorcycles ushered in the Chingay floats, together with an LED
lion and dragon dance troupe that got everyone whipping out their camera phones. If only the night
of dazzling lights and joyous celebrations did not have to end!

VALENTINE RUN 2014
Kampong Chai Chee’s annual Valentine Run has always been a hit with runners, and this year event
on 16 February at Bedok Reservoir Park was no different. Besides the run, there were plenty of
activities such as traditional games, handicraft sales, henna and heart painting, as well as song and
dance performances to keep participants entertained. During the Pledge of Love, 500 people showed
their gratitude and commitment to their family, partners and friends,
ending with a mass hug and kiss that filled the atmosphere with love!
