Many came together for a day of bonding at the Family Day for West Coast GRC and Pioneer Constituency on 13 Sep 2014 at Universal Studios Singapore. The event saw over 4,000 residents, comprising families and neighbours, coming together as a community to enjoy a fun-filled evening at the theme park.

The cool evening, festive mood, and the theme park’s numerous attractionsset the stage for an unforgettable outing. And it was an event that the grassroots advisers of West Coast GRC and Pioneer Constituency would not miss.

The advisers to grassroots organisations also mingled with residents during dinner-time. Naturally, there were lots of photo-taking – be it group photos or selfies, everyone wanted to take home some happy memories!

WEST COAST GOES HIPThe enhanced Home Improvement Programme (HIP) which comes with Enhancement for Active Seniors (EASE) is “an opportunity not to be missed”, and residents of West Coast Division agreed wholeheartedly.

An overwhelming 87.7% of residents staying at Block 701 to 704 West Coast Road and Block 706, 707, 710, 715, 716, 717, 723 and 724 Clementi West Street 2 voted in favour of the HIP at the polling held on 15 to 18 Aug 2014. Residents will enjoy essential improvements that will be fully paid for by the Government; as well as a choice of optional and EASE components which will be heavily subsidised, and with easy payment schemes, said Mr S Iswaran, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Home Affairs and Trade and Industry, and Adviser to West Coast Grassroots Organisations.

Welcome to Boon Lay, make yourself at home, and get to know your neighbours. This was the warm, getting-to-know-you reception for residents of Block 180A-C and 181A-B Boon Lay Drive held on 23 Aug 2014, from 5pm to 8pm, at the precinct pavilion at Block 180.

The ambience could not be more neighbourly. There were opportunities aplenty for the residents to get to know their neighbours through activities, such as ‘Find it with your Neighbour’ stage game and ‘1-minute’ challenges. They were also able to interact with Mr Lawrence Wong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Second Minister for Communications and Information, and Adviser to Boon Lay Grassroots Organisations, as well as grassroots leaders.

The residents had an enjoyable evening while getting to know their neighbours and community leaders better. They enjoyed stage performances, interactive games, and were treated to a delicious spread of home-cooked food prepared by their neighbours. The event was certainly a good start to new friendships and stronger community bonding.

OUR CHAMPION REST ROOM CARETAKERS

The Best Rest Room Caretaker Award 2013/2014 took on more meaning this year as it provided a platform for public education and to foster better community engagement among young children.

Students from Qifa Primary School took part in the judging process and assisted in the assessment of the public toilets at the Market & Food Centre at Block 502 West Coast Drive. It was an opportunity for the students to appreciate the work of the rest room caretakers, and to learn about good toilet etiquette and hygiene practices to adopt when using public rest rooms.

Rest room caretakers in the top three places were:

A total of nine caretakers received their awards from Mr Arthur Fong, Chairman of West Coast Town Council on 7 Jun 2014. Mr Arthur Fong also presented a token of appreciation to Qifa Primary School for their participation.

One of the judges said, “Maintaining clean and hygienic rest rooms requires the efforts of dedicated caretakers, considerate users, and the community in general”.

Their blocks have been selected for the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP), and they can look forward to improvements like covered walkways linking the blocks, drop-off porches, fitness facilities, playgrounds and an enhanced community area for community bonding.

The NRP is aimed at upgrading the estate for the benefit of residents and their families, and residents were invited to view the NRP exhibition showcasing the proposed upgrading plans. Residents were encouraged to indicate their preferences for the upgrading items to help the NRP Working Committee work out a set of upgrading plans that would best meet the needs of the community.

The exhibition was launched on 30 May 2014 by Mr Lawrence Wong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, Second Minister for Communications and Information, and Adviser to Boon Lay Grassroots Organisations. Mr Lawrence Wong encouraged residents to view the project favourably, and provide their inputs. He said, “With your support for the estate renewal efforts by the Government, we can look forward to a better home and a more harmonious community in Boon Lay.”

Hi Mr Fong,

I would like to extend my compliments to your staff, Valerie.

Over the past four years, I have raised certain issues pertaining to my estate in Clementi Ave 1. Valerie is always cheerful and approachable, and rendered her assistance to solve the various issues. She has always left me feeling how blessed my family is to be living under the care of an officer who is responsive and responsible.

She is such a gem and I thought you should know it too.

Thanks very much for your leadership in WCTC and for having a staff like Valerie.

Best Rgds,Mrs Charmaine Liew

Dear West Coast Town Council,

I’ve been using the iTown@SG app to report various problems at my

block for more than a year, and I would like to commend the West

Coast Town Council for their efficient and quick response to all the

problems alerted.

You have gone beyond being just a function and have shown great

responsibility and pride in keeping the estate in good order. It’s a job

well done!

Thank you for serving the community!

Blessings,Diana
