We have now started a new year. It seems that 2010 passed very quickly. On the whole, 2010 was a good year for most people. With a strong economy and with full employment, many Singaporeans were gainfully employed. At the meet the people sessions, I saw less people in financial difficulty and I hope things will continue to improve for our residents this year.
The past year was a very busy one for us at Kebun Baru and we continue with the momentum this year. Many precincts in Kebun Baru were either undergoing or being planned for upgrading in one form or the other, like the Main Upgrading programmes (MUP), Lift Upgrading programmes (LUP), House Improvement Programme (HIP). Even two of our private estates are currently undergoing the Estate Upgrading Programme (EUP) - Thomson Hills is in the thick of it while the Villas NC of the Sembawang Hills Estate, Shangri-La Park and Ellington Square are in the final planning stages.
We also have been successfully supporting our senior citizens through our Active Ageing Programme and continue to engage more and more senior citizens in our constituency. Each of our Residents' Committee (RC) has also actively supported residents’ needs by organising activities and also providing services to residents. We have had numerous dialogue sessions with residents to get their feedback and listen to their views and issues. I will continue to do so to understand residents' needs better so that we can better support you. Chairing the Ang Mo Kio-Yio Chu Kang Town Council (TC) for the past 3 years has been an interesting experience and thanks to the support form residents and staff of the TC, our town council has come up top in the Ministry of National Development Town Council Management Report. More importantly, we are listening to our residents' suggestions so that we can deliver better service to them.
Finally, I have been helping coordinate things at Cheng San-Seletar division after the unfortunate passing of the late Dr. Balaji Sadasivan. I have been trying my best to support residents and grassroots leaders in both divisions. I want to thank the grassroots leaders of Kebun Baru and Cheng San-Seletar for their hard work and dedication in serving residents.
My wish for everyone of you is to have happiness, good health and success in 2011 and the years ahead and I look forward to working with all of you. Please feel free to see me at my meet the people session which is held every Thursday from 8pm onwards, at Block 109, Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. I look forward to meeting residents at our regular events.
With Best Wishes
Inderjit Singh
MP, Ang Mo Kio GRC
