n this issue, we celebrate another milestone
in our town, the topping out ceremony of the
Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. When the specialist
clinics and hospital open their doors to the public
next year, residents can expect to enjoy the same
high level of affordable and quality health care as at
Alexandra Hospital.
This National Day is a good time to remind
ourselves to stay united, to maintain and build our
racial and religious harmony. While we continue
with our upgrading and rejuvenation plans, we
also want to create an endearing home, one that
preserves our cultural identity and heritage, for
ourselves and for our future generations.
And we are not just talking about making
sure our blocks are swept and cleaned regularly.
As residents, you play a vital role in maintaining
a clean and green estate. Do make an effort to
practise social responsibility towards our town and
common facilities. In this regard, we urge you to
emulate the green efforts of our resident and town
councillor, Mr Peter Lo, winner of the NEA 2009
EcoFriend Award.
Let us work together to make our Town
a clean and healthy place to live and play, as we

alam keluaran ini, kita meraikan satu
lagi peristiwa penting dalam bandar kita,
iaitu upacara merasmikan tamatnya kerja
membina bangunan asas Hospital Khoo Teck Puat.
Apabila klinik-klinik pakar dan hospital membuka
pintunya kepada orang ramai pada tahun depan,
para penduduk dijangka dapat menikmati
penjagaan kesihatan yang bermutu tinggi pada
kadar bayaran yang termampu seperti di Hospital
Alexandra.
Hari Kebangsaan ini adalah masa yang baik
untuk mengingatkan diri kita untuk terus bersatu
padu, memelihara dan membina keharmonian
kaum dan agama. Sementara kita meneruskan
rancangan untuk mempertingkat flat dan
menyegarkan semula estet perumahan, kita juga
mahu mewujudkan sebuah tempat tinggal yang
disayangi olih para penduduk, sebuah tempat yang
memelihara identiti dan warisan budaya, untuk diri
kita dan generasi masa depan kita.
Dan kita tidak sahaja bercakap tentang
usaha memastikan bahawa sampah disapu dan
blok-blok kita dibersihkan secara tetap. Sebagai
penduduk, anda memainkan peranan penting
dalam mengekalkan sebuah estet yang bersih dan
menghijau. Berusahalah untuk mengamalkan
tanggungjawab sosial terhadap bandar dan
kemudahan-kemudahan bersama kita. Sehubungan
ini, kami menggesa anda untuk mencontohi usaha
hijau penduduk dan anggota majlis bandaran kita,
Encik Peter Lo, pemenang Anugerah EcoFriend
2009 yang dihadiahkan oleh Agensi Sekitaran
Kebangsaan.
Marilah kita bekerjasama untuk membuat
bandar kita sebuah tempat yang bersih, sihat
untuk didiami dan beriadah, sambil kita
menyambut Hari Kebangsaan kita yang

n 17 May, hundreds gathered at Blocks 552 and 684B
Woodlands Drive 44 and 73 to launch an Anti High-rise
Littering and Clean at Admiralty campaign.
Admiralty Zone 3 and 6 residents together with grasssroots
leaders picked up litter, did some floor washing, then went
upstairs in the blocks and knocked on doors.
Led by their MP, Dr Mohd Maliki Osman, they explained
that they wanted everyone in Admiralty division to commit to
keeping the community clean. If a resident agreed, they signed
up and put a sticker on their door – a daily reminder that keeping
Admiralty clean is everybody’s business.

The new hospital
is topped out!
The new Khoo Teck Puat Hospital
was ‘topped out’ on 26 June.
Construction is on track, and the
hospital expects to see its first patients
by the end of March next year.
or everyone involved with the construction
of the new hospital, the topping-out
ceremony meant structural completion and
the end of the second phase. In the first phase, the
foundations were built. Now in the third phase, the
hospital will be fitted out: the wiring, plumbing
and finishing will be done.
For those living near the construction site, it
meant an end to the digging, banging and piling.
There’s still going to be some noise and dust – but
much less than before. And it’s not much to put up
with to get a new hospital next door.
Mr Khaw Boon Wan said the plan is to open
the specialist clinics by April next year, and the rest
of the hospital later, in October. When completed,
the 3.4ha hospital will offer 550 beds.
Patients at the hospital will enjoy a splendid
view of the Yishun Pond. Plans are in place to
make it even more beautiful
with more greenery and a new
lookout tower.
Mr Khaw
thanked the
Khoo Teck Puat
family for their
tremendous
support with
a $125 million
dollar donation,
part of which will
go to helping
patients in need.

The construction team behind the new hospital was every bit as excited
about the topping-out ceremony as were northern heartlanders!
There were markers aplenty for anyone who wanted to sign their names or
good wishes on the last steel beam to go to the top of the hospital.
A special treat was a performance by the staff-to-be of the new hospital, a
song called “My Favourite Things”, specially written for the ceremony.
Hyundai Engineering and Construction, the company building the
hospital, flew in a top-notch team of Korean drummers.

he two recent LUP polls in Marsiling had two things in common.
Great stage shows and big smiles. It was only to be expected.
Everyone was looking forward to getting lifts that stop at every
floor, so when the polls finally came, grand parties were held.
Grassroots leaders took the stage with a comedy sketch at the
poll for the 16 blocks in Woodlands Street 32 and Avenue 1. And some
great professional performers entertained the
crowds who came to the poll for the nine
blocks in Woodlands Street 11 and 13.
An average 88% of all eligible
residents in each block voted YES. So now
lifts will be upgraded and 50 new liftshafts will be constructed to bring the
benefits of same-floor lift service to a
total of over 1200 homes.

Mr and Mrs Manavalan voted Yes because they live on the seventh floor. “It’ll
be much better for our visitors,” they said. “And for us, of course!” An extra
bonus, they thought, was the fact that their flat would have a higher valuation
when it has a lift serving the seventh floor.
Mdm Lee Swee Geok moved into her flat on the eighth floor 25 years ago. “I
could run up and down the stairs easily then,” she said. But she has had a
problem with her kneecap for more than a year now and the lift stops on the
sixth. She will be very glad when the new lifts are in next year.
Mr Henry Cordeiro voted yes because his mother can’t manage the stairs to
come and visit him now. And looking forward,”What happens when you get
old and you’ve got things to carry up or down? A cupboard, for instance! All
the blocks should have lifts that stop at every floor.”

Two precincts vote YES for
their Neighbourhood Renewal
Programme (NRP)and Lift
Upgrading Programme (LUP)
e are one of the first to benefit
from the Neighbourhood Renewal
Programme,” said Assoc Prof Ho Peng
Kee when he opened the polls for it and the LUP.
He thanked grassroots leaders and the Town
Council for their hard work in getting feedback on
the facilities wanted in the renewal of this 24-yearold estate. First they went house to house in August
last year to get residents’ initial thoughts, then they
showed some preliminary designs in May this year.
After fine-tuning, those plans were put to the vote.
The Nee Soon East NRP and LUP will cover
Blocks 290 to 294 in Zone 4 and Blocks 258 to 264
in Zone 5. The Zone 4 blocks are low-rise and most
of them have shops on the first floor. For the LUP a
total of 19 new lift shafts will be built to give samefloor lift service to nearly all the flats.
Over 93% of eligible flats voted Yes for the
NRP. Because it covers a larger area than an IUP, a
wider variety of facilities, without duplications, were
offered. Residents are looking forward to some new
drop-off points, elderly fitness corners, children’s
playgrounds, seating, landscaping, covered linkways
and an upgrading of the Nee Soon East courtyard by
the end of 2011.
The entire project is expected to cost $2m.

Block 228 Yishun St 21 was the first block
in Singapore to complete the HDB’s new
Home Improvement Programme, or HIP. Ms
Grace Fu, Senior Minister of State for National
Development and Assoc Prof Ho Peng Kee,
MP for Nee Soon East constituency, went
to visit Mdm Lee Kwai Han to find
out just how the programme had
improved her home.
Her visitors wanted Mdm Lee’s feedback on the new
bathroom tiling and fixtures she selected from the
optional improvements offered under the HIP.
A new front door and grille were optional items Mdm Lee
chose – and everyone thinks they look very good.
Replacement of all the waste pipes in the flat was
considered an essential improvement.
A/P Ho looks in the cupboard under the sink to see the
new stainless steel refuse hopper Mdm Lee had installed.
eplacing the old Main
Upgrading Programme (MUP),
flats built before 1987 are
eligible for the HIP if they have not
had an MUP. Blocks 227 to 235, built
in 1984, were the first to be offered
an HIP and voted overwhelmingly in
favour.
Both optional and essential
improvements are offered under the
HIP. Essential items are necessary for
health, safety or technical reasons.
In the case of Mdm Lee’s block these
included the replacement of waste
R
pipes, replacement of laundry pole
holders and an upgrade to the wiring
in the block for a heavier electical load.
You can opt out of the nonessential improvements and pay a little
less but Mdm Lee, like most of the
residents in her block, decided to have
everything done. And she is delighted
with the result.
A better home!
With a new switch room and sub-station, the electrical
supply has been upgraded for all the flats in the block.
The new laundry pole sockets support the poles at both
ends. Mdm Lee says it makes it easier to hang laundry.

The URA never forgets the kids. There
were toys to play with – and this amazing
Chase-the-Lights platform.
is the short answer to that
question. And if you visited
the URA’s My Endearing Home exhibition at
Causeway Point – you could reel off a whole list of
improvements and facilities in the pipeline.
When he opened the exhibition on 11 July,
Mr Hawazi Daipi said how childhood memories
often make a home endearing, but if it is to remain
endearing it must develop. It must have a future.
At the exhibition you could “take a peek into
the future and see some of the wonderful plans for
Singapore, particularly for those in the North,” he
said. “For instance...a new Thomson MRT line that
will run from Woodlands to the heart of Marina
Bay. And a new North-South Expressway that will
cut down travelling time to the city by 30 per cent.”
Catching the attention of many visitors
were the plans for a Woodlands Waterfront. To be
developed east of the Causeway, it will feature
a nine-hectare park, a refurbished jetty and a
cantilevered promenade that will let you run
along the coast. Park connectors will link it with
Admiralty Park and Woodlands Town Garden.
On behalf of all Northerners, Mr Hawazi
thanked the URA for sharing their plans for our
future here in the North. Then many joined him
for a visit to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
And, yes, there are plans to enhance the attractions
and educational facilities at this reserve, too!
More information can be found at www.ura.

Plenty
The exhibition showed you what the URA had done in the past, and their plans for the future. And there were plenty of volunteers on hand to give you details.
Have you been to Sungei Buloh yet? NParks has built boardwalks throught the mangroves. You have to stay on the path for several reasons, but it’s a beautiful place to see Nature. And to learn more about flora and fauna in Singapore.

Working
to keep
Singapore
truly green
Meet Mr Peter Lo, Chairman of the
Canberra CCC Environment Committee
ust after World War Two, Peter was born into a fairly
rural community in Hong Kong’s New Territories,
growing up as the eldest son in a large family. They had
no regular garbage collection and no running water, “It was
much the same as kampung-life here,” he said. “The chickens,
cats and dogs used to clean up the rubbish pretty well, but
water was always a problem.”
Being the biggest, he carried the water from the
standpipe to the Lo house in kerosene cans strung from a
bamboo pole.
He believes that his life in the 1950s is the reason he is
so keen to avoid any kind of waste now – and why he wants
to make sure Singapore stays clean and green.
He’ll do it. “I don’t give up until I get what I want!” he
says, with well-earned pride. He showed us photos taken
during some of the dozens of events and programmes he’s led
(a few shown to the right). He joined the Canberra Zone 2
RC in 2003 and has since become very active in mozzie and
dengue prevention, energy and water conservation, recycling
and anti-littering. Since 2005, he’s been winning awards from
the NEA, PA and PUB, culminating in the prestigious 2009
EcoFriend Award.
Lecturing at childcare centres, giving brief talks to
busloads of residents off on a picnic, engaging with pet
owners – Peter is a master communicator. He said he learned
how to talk with people, and handle their problems, working
the front desk in five-star hotels. “It’s simple. You look into
their eyes, listen to what they’re saying and understand what
they want.”
He’s put his skill to good use. He’s charmed hundreds to
join his dengue and energy monitoring schemes, thousands
more to pick up litter and sort out their recyclables. But
he’s a patient man. He knows what he wants to achieve will
take time and he’s willing to work towards it by any route
available, for however long it takes.
After managing hotels, he set up a furniture business.
“I used to travel half the year: Germany, Britain, Scandinavia,
the US, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand – buying and selling.
It got to know many different countries quite well.
“Whenever I got off the plane in Singapore, I’d breathe
in the Singapore air and think, ‘Wah! So nice!’ Riding into
town in the taxi, there was the scent of grass, you could smell
the green. It was really impressive.”
So Peter brought his wife and two teen-aged daughters
to live here in 1990. And now he has some spare time he sees
it as his duty to help – in any way he can – make Singapore
an even nicer place to live.

The solar-powered banner structure in front of Block 204 Yishun Street 21.
s a world leader in solar cell development
and production, Sharp wanted to increase
awareness of their products and show the
world how well photovoltaic systems can work in
ordinary, everyday applications.
Always environmentally-conscious, the Town
Council was happy to offer Sharp a site for their
demonstration. The banner in front of Block 204
Yishun Street 21 was chosen as it’s prominent, has
high pedestrian and vehicular traffic and, last but
not least, gets plenty of sunlight most of the day.
Completed in April 2009, the system
provides electricity to power the LED lights in
A
the “Nee Soon East” wording, as well as the three
spotlights located in front of the structure.
The system has been working well for the past
three months. Sponsored and installed by Sharp, at
no cost to the Council, the system will reduce the
Council’s power bill by nearly $150 every year.

SOALAN YANG
SERING DITANYA
Seperti flu musiman biasa, simptom-simptom biasa ialah
demam tinggi dengan batuk, sakit tekak, hidung berair,
sakit otot dan kepenatan.
NHaruskah saya dapatkan suntikan vaksin
Influenza A (H1N1 – 2009) dengan Tamiflu?
Tidak. Buat masa ini, tiada vaksin bagi Influenza A (H1N1 –
2009). Tamiflu bukanlah sejenis vaksin. Ia digunakan
secara umum untuk merawat mereka yang menghidap
penyakit tersebut. Penggunaan Tamiflu secara tidak wajar
boleh menyebabkan penentangan terhadap Tamiflu
apabila anda benar-benar memerlukannya.
NBagaimana pula dengan suntikan bagi flu biasa?
Tidak diketahui sama ada vaksin flu musiman yang
digunakan ketika ini dapat melindungi daripada jenis
Influenza A (H1N1 – 2009) yang baru ini.
Bagaimananpun, suntikan vaksin tahunan disyorkan bagi
kumpulan yang berisiko lebih tinggi mengalami
komplikasi influenza, seperti
– Orang yang berusia 65 tahun dan lebih tua;
– Kanak-kanak berusia 6 bulan hingga 5 tahun;
– Orang dewasa dan kanak-kanak yang menghidap
penyakit kronik seperti asma dan kencing manis atau
pesakit ginjal yang menjalani dialisis.
– Wanita dalam trimester kedua atau kegita ketika hamil.
NAdakah selamat untuk melawat negara yang
mengalami kes Influenza A (H1N1 – 2009)?
Anda dinasihatkan agar tidak membuat perjalanan tidak
penting ke kawasan-kawasan yang terjejas*. Jika anda perlu
melawat tempat-tempat sedemikian, berjaga-jagalah dan
kekalkan mutu kebersihan diri yang tinggi sepanjang masa.
Jika anda jatuh sakit ketika di luar negara, berjumpalah
doktor secepat mungkin dan elakkan perjalanan sehingga
anda disahkan sihat dan cergas oleh doktor.
NApakah yang harus saya lakukan jika saya
mengesyaki saya terkena Influenza A (H1N1 –
2009) selepas pulang ke Singapura?
Jika anda mengalami simptom-simptom selepas pulang
ke Singapura, berjumpalah doktor anda secepat mungkin
dan beritahu beliau tentang sejarah perjalanan anda. Jika
anda sudah pulang dari kawasan yang terjejas, anda
dinasihatkan mengawasi kesihatan anda dengan teliti
selama 7 hari. Jika anda mengalami simptom-simptom
seperti demam (>38ºC), batuk, sakit tekak atau hidung
berair, sila hubungi 993 bagi perkhidmatan ambulans khas
yang akan membawa anda ke Hospital Tan Tock Seng.
* Kawasan yang terjejas adalah kawasan yang mempunyai bukti Influenza
A (H1N1 – 2009) dalam masyarakat. Sila rujuk ke laman web Kementerian
Kesihatan (MOH) untuk senarai kawasan terjejas yang dikemas kini.
