K-CC CONVERSATION

HIGHLIGHTS OF AG. MINISTER TAN CHUAN-JIN’S RESPONSE TO THE DISCUSSIONS

In upholding the purpose of Our Singapore Conversation, dialogue sessions for K-CC residents have been held regularly. Many of these opinions are documented in the report for Our Singapore Conversation, and during the recent National Day Rally several policy changes inspired by the opinions of the general public were announced.

These sessions were valuable as they allowed residents to exchange views with one another as well as allowed the Minister to understand residents’ concerns and perspectives. With varying perspectives on multiple issues out in the open, these thought exchanges were often interactive, lively, and interesting. K-CC Conversation also enabled the Minister to share the thinking

behind some of the steps taken by the government and to explain the trade-offs involved.

PING AN AND PING YI GARDENS RESIDENTS’ VIEWS The rise in COE prices, housing, and healthcare, among others, were mentioned frequently. Those in the business sector lamented on the cut in manpower and also attributed it to soaring costs.

HOUSING The Minister shared that for public housing, the government will do what it can to provide assurance and peace of mind with regards to affordability. For example, grants for HDB flats, along with HDB flat supply and eligibility, will be augmented.

It was clear, however, that

different individuals have different thoughts on housing prices – current homeowners prefer that the value of their flat remain unchanged while prospective owners naturally wish for theirs to be lower. While many cited resale prices as examples of high housing costs, they were not familiar with what new BTO flats cost.

Using the HDB website, the Minister showed what BTO flats costs were. He explained how couples, at various combined income levels, could finance their BTO flats via HDB loans and their CPF. He pointed out that if couples bought flats that were beyond what their incomes could bear, they would inevitably feel some financial strain as they would have to fork out more cash, over and above their CPF, to finance the loans.

HEALTHCARE The revised criteria for CHAS will provide coverage for more Singaporeans and the new Medishield Life will provide lifetime coverage. It was highlighted that healthcare was a challenge for most countries as their populations were ageing, and their taxpaying population was declining at the same time.

The Minister emphasised that there were no easy solutions for healthcare but affirmed

10

Conversation 2.indd 10

10/8/13 10:17 AM

that more would be done while seeking to keep it sustainable at the same time. Interestingly, a number of residents shared that despite wanting more healthcare benefits, they do not wish for the government to spend more than what it can afford.

TRANSPORT The rising price of COE was a popular topic but there was no consensus as to what would be a workable alternative. Many understood that having a cheaper COE may mean more cars on the roads. The central issue was how best to allocate while keeping car numbers manageable. In the discussion, many were surprised by the high level of car ownership in Singapore.

The Minister updated residents on transport plans and how it’d positively impact public transport in the coming years.

He acknowledged that with hindsight, it would appear that the government should have built more MRT lines with greater capacity. However, he said that it took about a decade to plan and build a line, and if one were to consider what the situation was in 2003, it wasn’t clear that it would have been the right decision.

Singapore then was in the midst of the SARS crisis. It was also the post dot-com bubble, and 9-11 period when the economy was not doing well. He asked if the residents remembered the ‘white elephants’ being placed outside Buangkok Station as well as the unsold new HDB flats. The Minister assured residents that going forward, the government planned to build ahead of demand and would cater for buffer.

MANPOWER The Minister clarified that since there has been a real concern with the growing number of foreigners present, there has been a resulting need to tighten manpower laws and control labour growth. Some residents suggested that we allow more work permit holders entry since there is a demand, but the Minister pointed out that majority of foreigners are work permit holders and that cuts have to be made across-the-board to slow down labour growth. He encouraged the residents to continue being productive despite the decrease in manpower.

FAMILY VALUES The importance of work-life

balance was brought up, and the subject of parental influence on children was widely discussed.

Parents acknowledged that they should spend more time with their kids so that the correct values may be imparted and so that the younger ones will be motivated to work hard and improve the lives of their respective families.

It was agreed that schools should place greater emphasis on values inculcation such as via the Community Involvement Program, so that the spirit of volunteerism can be instilled.

Some suggested that students should take up part time jobs during school holidays to enhance their social skills and life experiences. Some parents also suggested that the education curriculum be revised every two to three years so as to ensure that the syllabus is constantly kept modern and current.

GOING FORWARD Feedback from the residents were largely positive and the session enabled them to interact with one another as well as listen to differing perspectives. These dialogue sessions will continue to take place; keep a lookout for them!

K-CC INTEGRATION FESTIVAL

Integration and Naturalisation Champions (INCs) from Marine Parade GRC and SMCs from Mountbatten and from Potong Pasir held an International Cultural Fiesta for new residents in July at Marina bay. The event attracted more than 3,000 residents and engaged them with a variety of activities, some of which involved photography, music, and craft.

EMBRACING SINGLISH

Some K-CC residents recently banded together to create a mascot, Lor Leh Lah, for the constituency. The representative symbol is in celebration of Singlish, our local version of colloquial English, and of our ability to embrace and acknowledge the different existing in our society as a nation.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD

A SLICE OF K-CC HISTORY Learn about some of the significant places of interest in Kembangan, most of which are no longer around, from Lionel De Souza, who grew up here as a boy and engaged in the Kampong Spirit Lionel is sipping on his coffee when his eyes light up for the seventh time in half an hour. He sets his mug down and exclaims chirpily to yet another acquaintance, “Morning! What do you want to drink?” It is evident that the man is both a familiar and popular figure at Bedok South Market as hawkers and patrons alike come up frequently to acknowledge his presence. Lionel generously insists on paying for all the drinks at the table and even encourages everyone to order toasts. “No, no, no! Keep your money!”

Lionel asserts when he spots a friend trying to pay for his own coffee.

Asked how he was like as a boy growing up in Kembangan, the jovial man says that he was “naughty, as

boys are,” but lucky as his family was able to live comfortably. He says with a chuckle, “Children these days are too pampered. In the past when we suffered from a cut, we’d rub it with a leaf and then beat it with a slipper.

Sometimes, we’d have a friend pee on it, that’s all!”

SINGAPORE’S FIRST ROTI PRATA SHOP According to Lionel, Singapore’s first roti prata shop opened in the early 50s between Lengkong Tiga and Changi Road. It shifted after a few years due to competition, but it is clear that the novelty of the fried flour-based pancake at that time has always lingered in the elderly man’s heart.

KEMBANGAN OPEN AIR THEATRE The theatre, which has since been demolished, was situated at the junction of Jalan Lapang and understandably always drew huge crowds. Lionel says with pride, “It screened so many types of movies. All kinds of movies! And admission in the 50s was 20 cents.”

YONG SENG BRICKWORK The brick factory was demolished in the 60s due to the introduction of machinery but Lionel has fond memories of it. “We used to saw trees and steal bricks from there so that we could cement them together to make a goal post. We played a lot of football!”

Kembangan has no doubt evolved drastically over the years. Lionel

muses, “The changes are fantastic. We had no proper irrigation system then, but look at our waterworks today both here and around the island.” However, he reckons that there was one thing present then that is absent now, and leaves us with this, “Everything is so nice and modern, but there is no love.

No Kampong Spirit. People should open up more and foster a stronger sense of community.”

MASJID KASSIM The mosque has been around since the early 20s and currently stands at Changi Road. Today, the fourstorey building can hold up to 2,000 worshippers and is a venue for religious, social and personal developments activities.

Back in 1921, Wakaf Kassim comprised of a mosque and a burial ground in Siglap Road, surrounded by residential areas.

Kassim Mosque was rebuilt at Changi Road with a reconstruction cost of $5 million and was completed in July 1999.

SOCIAL COMMENTARY

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE We have heard this many times – a responsible generation is one that plants the seeds today so that the next generation can benefit from the shade tomorrow.

In this magazine, we read about the developments in and around KembanganChai Chee, revisit tales from the past, and look at what is to come. Here and all over the island, we have benefited from the country’s

overall transformation, growth, and development because the generations before us laboured hard to plant those seeds.

As we enjoy being sheltered in a first world society we must remember that the responsibility falls upon us in maintaining this ‘tree’ of ours so that it can continue to shelter our future generations. Depending on the season and conditions, at

times we may complain that the ‘fruits’ are not very sweet, but it is our tree nonetheless.

Let us appreciate the elders amongst us for having planted those seeds and remember their contributions. Let us work towards improving our community ties and our social responsibility so that we can ensure an even brighter future for the generations to come.
