Siglap Edusave Award Presentation Ceremony

LENC turned out in forces today to support the Siglap Edusave Award Presentation Ceremony. We gathered at 7am for a hearty Nasi Lemak breakfast and briefing before we were deployed to the respective stations.

Students started streaming in at 8.30am. The registration booths filled with crowds very quickly.

The students were ushered to the rooms at level 2 to make customized batches for their parents. The parents were invited to the reception area where the LENC gardening club and COP shared information with them.

  

 Some LENC members were also stationed at the main hall to help out with ushering and giving out cheques.

There were 2 sessions for Limau Estate Students but some members stayed on to support the other sessions till late afternoon. Well done LENC!

Limau Rise Sreet Party & Dialogue Session Oct 2013

The Limau Rise Street Party and Dialogue Session took place on a very warm Saturday afternoon. LENC members turned up early to set up the event venue. We changed the seat arrangement to a more engaging U layout instead of the traditional "classroom" layout. A unique fruity vege basket was also prepared by the Gardening club.

Upon arriving, Dr Maliki was interviewed by a Media team while the neighbors streamed into the tentage.

Before the Dialogue session started, LENC members and Dr Maliki were seen sharing the happenings around the Limau Estate with the neighbors.

Dialogue session kicked off with Dr Maliki presenting the LENC exclusive Fruity Vege arrangement to Florence who kindly offered her home as the source to tap electricity for the event.

The Dialogue session with the neighbors was a very lively and participative one. Topics such as parking woes, parking code of conduct, EUP (Estate Upgrading Program) and anticipated traffic issues after condominiums completion were discussed. Dr Maliki also took the opportunity to share some healthcare programs rolled out by the government.

Overall, the event went very well with lots of positive feedback from the neighbors. It is yet another successful event organized by LENC and much credits go to the event lead, Douglas! WELL DONE!

Spotlight on Siglap's''Kepala' Programme in Lian He Zao Bao

Siglap's very own 'Kepala' Programme was featured in Lian He Zao Bao on Wednesday, 18 September 2013. The article shed light on how the Grassroots Leaders (GRL) play an active role in promoting the 'Kampong Spirit as 'Kepalas', a role similar to that of a Kampong Chief. Our Grassroot Advisor, Dr Maliki, who introduced the programme in Siglap, also spoke on how the programme can assist residents in a more holistic way, especially those in need. LENC is also happy to see our very own GRL. Clara, featured in the photograph in the article. Hope you will enjoy reading the article as much as we did. Click here for the English translation.

Kew Walk & Kew Heights Street Party and Dialogue Aug 2013

It was a hot sunny Saturday afternoon.  With balloons flying, fans swirling and the background music of Kenny G, neighbours from Kew Walk & Kew Heights held their 1st Street Party cum Dialogue session with our grassroots adviser Dr. Maliki. 

Before the Dialogue started, there was a gift presentation by Dr. Maliki to our neighbour Jimmy Yong for allowing us to tap his electricity to drive the ceiling fans used at the party.  The neighbours held a friendly & meaningful dialogue session with Dr Maliki.  They hobnobbed, mingled, and enjoyed themselves over the Pizza, Tuna Sandwiches and other finger food.

Local issues such as car parking & dog poo problems were brought up by residents.  A task force comprising  volunteered residents   were set up to look further into the matter.  National issues such as education system were also aired by residents and discussed.  One neighbour put it simply: “I have been staying here for the past 15 years; this is the first time I had a dialogue session with the MP.  It is truly wonderful."  The neighbours were won over by Dr. Maliki' sincerity and down-to-earth demeanour.

The meeting ended around 7pm  on a high note with Dr. Maliki thanking the organizers and all the Grassroots Leaders from Limau Estate for making this event a success and a memorable one.
