J U N E 2 01 8 3 OUR KAMPUNG ADMIRALTY MODEST IN SCALE, BOLD IN AMBITION T he idea of allowing the elderly to lead active and meaningful lives in a modern kampung setting was mooted more than four years ago. It was finally realised this year, with the completion of the award-winning 11-storey Kampung Admiralty. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong officiated the opening ceremony of Kampung Admiralty on 12 May at the community plaza of Block 676 Woodlands Drive 71. He was joined by Minister for National Development and Second Minister for Finance, Mr Lawrence Wong, and MPs of Sembawang GRC Minister Khaw Boon Wan, Minister Ong Ye Kung, Mr Amrin Amin and Mr Vikram Nair. “I am sure that we can live up to the name of Kampung Admiralty by strengthening the ‘kampung spirit’ where people of all ages interact and look out for one another. This is a small kampung… modest in scale but bold in ambition. We will make it succeed, and when it is successful, we will build more kampungs like these in future HDB estates,” Mr Lee said. Sustainable features such as rain gardens and bioswales help treat surface water runoff while greening the landscape. Besides taking part in gardening at the skyrise Community Farm, seniors can learn to age in a healthy and safe manner through preventive healthcare programmes. Kampung Admiralty also houses a hawker centre, a supermarket, and medical, childcare and senior centres all under one roof. Kampung Admiralty resident and father of two, Mr Yu Hua Long, 38, explained that having a hawker centre and childcare centre so near to home appealed to him. “It is very convenient to live here,” he said.
4 S AYA N G S E M B AWA N G A BIG "THANK YOU!" TO OUR CLEANERS! Keeping our neighbourhood clean is not an easy task. Our cleaners work hard to ensure that we residents have a clean estate to go home to. In line with the “Keep Singapore Clean” campaign in May, we honour some of our cleaners who have shown exemplary performance in their work and whose contributions extend far beyond their job scopes. I accidentally threw a plastic bag of medication into the rubbish chute of my block, mistakenly thinking that it was rubbish. My daughter quickly called the Town Council for help, and we were assured by the cleaning supervisor that he will send someone to assist us. Mr Jahidul came to our rescue within five minutes. He was very helpful and went out of his way to retrieve the plastic bag from the central refuse chute for us. I am very grateful to Mr Jahidul for his help. His willingness to help retrieve my medication, his efficiency and knowledge in his work and his positive attitude have impressed me and my family very much. – Mdm Maimon, Admiralty resident Mr Jahidul Islam Admiralty Division Thank you Mr Rahman for coming to clean my block and the area near my unit. He cleared and mopped the shared rubbish chute area after I called in to the Town Council hotline to report about the unbearable stench coming from there. Thank you once again! – Zainon Jumadi, Woodlands resident Mr Rahman Md Arifur Woodlands Division I would like to thank Mr Ng for providing good service. Not only Mr Ng Hai Seng does Mr Ng do his job well, he also takes the effort to mingle with the Gambas Division residents in the neighbourhood. I can see that residents are always happy to see him, myself included. Thank you for going the extra mile, uncle. – Jack Bay, Gambas resident If you have any inspiring stories to share, do drop us a message at www.facebook.com/kampungsembawang.

J U N E 2 01 8 5 KEEPING OUR HOMES CLEAN TOGETHER! T his year’s “Keep Clean, Singapore” islandwide campaign was launched on 29 April at One-North. Minister for Environment and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifi, and Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport, also MP for Sembawang GRC, Mr Khaw Boon Wan, graced the event. The year 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the “Keep Singapore Clean” campaign, an initiative launched by the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. This event is an annual nationwide cleaning initiative that serves to remind everyone the importance of keeping our estates clean and recognise the efforts and hard work of the cleaners who help us to do so. In Sembawang GRC, MPs gathered with residents for a litter picking exercise at the common areas within the estate. The MPs also took the opportunity to present awards to our cleaners as a form of appreciation for their continued efforts in keeping our estates clean. With everyone’s effort, we can continue to keep Sembawang GRC a home clean and comfortable for all!
6 S AYA N G S E M B AWA N G BUILDING AN INCLUSIVE AND HOMELY CANBERRA T he elderly are learning new things with a little help from young IT-savvy volunteers from Canberra Grassroots Organisation. The “Digital Volunteer” initiative was launched on 11 March, also this year’s Canberra Day, at the mini park next to Block 320 Sembawang Close. Speaking at the carnival, MP Dr Lim Wee Kiak, PBM, said: ”We have a group of digital volunteers who will coach residents on using IT gadgets one-to-one in any language they are comfortable in.” Dr Lim was joined by MPs of Sembawang GRC, Minister Khaw Boon Wan, Minister Ong Ye Kung and Mr Vikram Nair. Innovative social projects by students from Sembawang Secondary School were also showcased. Students came up with the idea of using posters to encourage residents to return trays after their meals at hawker centres and food courts. Another group of students uses posters to encourage visits to the scenic Sembawang Park. One student, Khairul, explained: “Our idea is put to put up these posters at HDB blocks, and get families to bond as they visit these places.” It was a fun-filled day where residents were entertained by performances and enjoyed themselves by playing games at the game booths. Dr Lim Wee Kiak, PBM, also announced that work on the new community hub, comprising a polyclinic, hawker centre and sports facilities, will begin in the second half of this year.
J U N E 2 01 8 7 OPENING OF SUNLOVE SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTRE @ GOLDEN SAFFRON S unlove Senior Activity Centre @ Golden Saffron is now open to the public! An official ceremony was held on 17 March to celebrate the opening of this multi-functional centre. Graced by Minister Khaw Boon Wan, MP for Sembawang GRC, the ceremony was marked by performances put up by both the young and old, creating an atmosphere of excitement amongst the elderly residents who were present. Minister Khaw Boon Wan also unveiled a plaque to signify the A variety of activities for our senior citizens to engage in and enjoy! opening of the centre. Senior citizens now have a new space to gather and meet up with each other for chit-chat and activities. A wide variety of facilities and amenities that they can enjoy together include a gym, reading corner, mahjong corner, board games corner, yoga classes and karaoke sessions. There are also volunteers who will carry out simple medical check-ups for the elderly.
8 S AYA N G S E M B AWA N G ADMIRALTY CSC DREAMS BIG T he Admiralty Community Sports Club (CSC) Dream Big team held its annual 5S Challenge to test the stamina, fighting spirit, teamwork and sportsmanship of its young football players. Held on 7 April at Woodlands Stadium, the event attracted young children and their parents who came to support them. MP for Sembawang GRC (Admiralty), Mr Vikram Nair, graced the event. There was also a guest appearance of the Young Lions Football Club and their legendary coach Mr Fandi Ahmad. “Youths need a role model. It is wonderful to see such strong support for football from the community, and for our best players to come back and inspire the young ones,” Mr Nair said. Mr Fandi Ahmad highlighted the benefits of sports: “When youths take up sports, it keeps them away from distractions and bad company. They learn about teamwork, discipline, motivation and sacrifice. With healthy bodies and minds, they can do better in studies and grow up with better body coordination.” One father, Mr Gavin, came to show support for his 10-year-old son David, who is venturing into contact sports for the first time. “It toughens him up. He plays in the outdoors, stays in the sun, gets pushed by other players – he has to deal with it. That’s life,” Gavin said.
J U N E 2 01 8 9 CHINGAY AT YOUR DOORSTEP A balmy Saturday evening dazzled residents with myriads of lights and music as Sembawang GRC held its Chingay 2018 float display. Held along Woodlands Avenue 7, opposite Admiralty MRT station, this year’s Chingay float display was both fun and interactive as performers dressed in various ethnic costumes and took wefies with elated residents. The event kicked off with dragon and lion dance performances. MP for Sembawang GRC Minister, Mr Khaw Boon Wan, said: “This year, we bring the Chingay float display to your doorstep.” He also gave his Lunar New Year greetings, which included the cautionary reminder to eat in moderation, consume less salt and sugar, and exercise regularly. MPs Minister Ong Ye Kung, Mr Amrin Amin, Mr Vikram Nair and Dr Lim Wee Kiak, PBM, were also present to grace the event. Resident Mr Venkatesam, 43, was overjoyed. “Hosting the Chingay float display in the neighbourhood was a great idea. My family doesn’t need to go all the way to Chinatown to see these beautiful displays,” he commented. Another resident, Mdm Cassie, 42, brought her family to enjoy the colourful display. “My children can get up close and truly appreciate the display,” she said.
10 S AYA N G S E M B AWA N G 5 HISTORICAL SITES IN SEMBAWANG GRC Enter Sembawang. Unbeknownst to most, the town is a treasure trove of secrets, from underground bunkers to colonial houses, just waiting to be unlocked. We explored the area and sussed out Singapore's historical sites for you to discover. 1. OLD ADMIRALTY HOUSE - STRATEGIC PLANNING SITE DURING WWII Now a part of Furen International School compound, Old Admiralty House will transport you to 1940s Singapore with its colonial houses and palm trees filling the compound’s expanse. Old Admiralty House currently houses the school’s administration building. Built in 1939, the building was used by the British Armed Forces for strategic planning during World War II, and was the residence of several high-ranking Royal Navy and ANZUK officers after the war. You can still see colonial influences, from its Arts and Crafts-style design to the exposed brick roof and French windows, in its architecture. Walk This was where naval officers spotted around the campus and you’ll see vestiges of the enemy ships. past like British-styled lamp posts and a chimney. Address: 345 Old Nelson Road, Singapore 758692 2. MASJID PETEMPATAN MELAYU SEMBAWANG Nestled along Jalan Mempurong is the last kampung-style mosque in Singapore. Built in 1963, Masjid Petempatan Melayu Sembawang is named after the Malay Settlement, an area populated by the Malay community in the 1960s. You can still feel the homely kampung vibe of the area, with its gravel path leading to the mosque and the huge garden at the back, complete with its own makeshift swing. Near the entrance stands a tall rubber tree - the last remaining one from the former rubber plantation that used to stand here. Residents believe that a spirit resides in the tree as attempts to remove the tree had failed, and those who had attempted to cut it had fallen ill. Address: 27B Jalan Mempurong, Singapore 759055
J U N E 2 01 8 11 BUNKERS Given our past as a British military stronghold – we were once known as the “Gibraltar of the East” – it is not surprising to see World War II relics popping up around the island. But Sembawang is special in that a surfeit of bunkers can still be seen around the area. Although there are probably hundreds buried in this town, here are some bunkers that can be accessed by the public. 3. BOMB SHELTER @ OLD ADMIRALTY HOUSE Proving that we’ve only scratched the surface when it comes to uncovering Singapore’s secrets is the bomb shelter near Old Admiralty House. The 30m2 shelter was only unearthed in 1990 when the ground under an excavator collapsed during landscaping works. Inside, workers discovered a squatting water closet, light fittings, and a dingy hall, evidence pointing to the shelter being used by naval officers working in Old Admiralty House. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There has been speculation that another bomb shelter remains hidden on the premises, and that there’s still an undiscovered tunnel that connects the house to Sembawang Shipyard. Note: Exercise caution as snakes have been seen here. Address: 345 Old Nelson Road, Singapore 758692 4. GIBRALTAR CRESCENT BUNKER 5. BERMUDA ROAD BUNKERS Walk up Gibraltar Crescent and you definitely won’t miss the structure Lined up along Bermuda Road are swanky black-and-white houses but just opposite 158 Gibraltar Crescent. Although it has been engulfed by a huge across 250 Bermuda Road are two bunkers which could have been used as Banyan tree, you can still spot its square, concrete structure underneath. gun posts. They are perched on top of a hill, granting them a great vantage point to spot enemies. You can also see small openings at the side of the The entrance to this bunker is still visible, although it has been locked. bunkers - perfect for positioning guns. Address: Opposite 158 Gibraltar Crescent, Singapore 759589 Address: 250B Bermuda Road, Singapore 759821 Parts of Singapore’s past in Sembawang GRC Despite the developments here, you can still find legacies that shaped Singapore in every corner of Sembawang. So the next time someone says Singapore has lost its heritage, just point them to this modern-day kampung. Read more at: www.kampungsembawang.wordpress.com
12 S AYA N G S E M B AWA N G 4 OLD SCHOOL FOOD PLACES IN SEMBAWANG Imagine: it’s 20 years from now and you’re heading to the amazing cai fan (economy rice) place you loved as a kid, only to find out that -gasp- the place has ceased to exist. This scenario is a reality for foodies seeking many family restaurants all over Singapore, and the reason usually boils down to: 1. No one wanting to take over the business 2. Difficulty of sustaining it in the evolving economy This makes it important for us to continuously support the food places that are trying to keep the flames of their business alive. We have sussed out 4 eateries in the modern-day kampung of Sembawang that have stood the test of time by letting the young ones take over. 1.

J U N E 2 01 8 13 3. Chye Lye Fish Head Curry 1 Jalan Legundi, Singapore 759263 | Opening Hours: Tues - Sun: 11AM - 10PM | Closed on Mon Chye Lye Fish Head Curry had its beginnings as a zi char (cook- and-fry) restaurant when it was first started in 1967 by the Wong family. Now, it is mostly known for its fish head curry ($25), a sour and spicy assam fish stew, which has fans from as far as Japan. A huge part of its popularity is due to its milder flavour which makes it perfect for those who can’t handle spiciness. Portions are also generous - three of us could not even finish one bowl! As the restaurant is popular amongst Sembawang folks, it is important to ensure its legacy. Chye Lye is currently being run by 2nd generation Wongs, with the 3rd generation already starting to help out with the family business. 4.
