Tis’ the season to be jolly! Residents of Kaki Bukit enjoyed a touch of Christmas Magic on the morning of 23 December 2012 at the void deck of Block 550, Bedok North Avenue 1.

Young and old alike came down in the morning and afternoon to enjoy the many activities at the mini carnival. One could try one’s hand at the games stalls and the games hosted by our emcee – (including the ever-popular musical chairs), or get decorated with Christmas symbols at the face and hand painting station. Everyone also enjoyed the delightful and delicious snacks and sweets, such as the candy-floss, popcorn, malt candy and potong ice cream.

Residents were also entertained by the various stage performances. MP Faisal sang while his wife played the ukulele. The crowd was mesmerized by the diabolo (Chinese Yo-yo) performance and thrilled by the magic performance put up by NCMP Yee Jenn Jong, accompanied by his son. NCMP Yee certainly wowed the crowd with his amazing illusions. Whoever knew that Jenn Jong had the ability to produce snow in tropical Singapore!

Finally, Santa Claus too came by our carnival to give out Christmas cookies and to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[h=2]Aljunied-Hougang Town Council Media Release: MND review of TCs and AIM transaction welcome and should proceed
[/h]
by Aljunied GRC on Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 7:28pm ·

Since mid-December 2012, there has been much discussion and concern about whether the 14 PAP-managed Town Councils had acted in the public interest in selling their computing and financial software systems to Action Information Management Pte Ltd (AIM) before General Election 2011. Despite various media statements by AIM and PAP representatives, critical questions remained unanswered, which led me to file an adjournment motion on 8 January 2013 on safeguarding the public interest in Town Council management, scheduled for the next Parliamentary sitting.

On the evening of 8 January 2013, the Prime Minister indicated in a statement that he had directed the Ministry of National Development to conduct a broad-based review of the fundamental nature of town councils and also to investigate the AIM transaction. Given this latest, welcome development, I believe the goal of protecting the public and residents’ interests would be better served if the government investigation and review were to first proceed. After the completion of the review and publication of its findings, the matter can be raised in Parliament again as the circumstances require.

In view of these considerations, I will be withdrawing the adjournment motion scheduled for 14 January 2013. On its part, Aljunied-Hougang Town Council is ready to provide its input to MND for the review.

SYLVIA LIM
MP FOR ALJUNIED
CHAIRMAN, ALJUNIED-HOUGANG TOWN COUNCIL
10 January 2013

This statement was first published on the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council website:

"A few weeks ago Aljunied GRC celebrated Deepavali with its residents. It was a colourful and lively event with great food and merry-making! Some of the highlights of the night included an elegant Peacock dance, and the traditional Bharathanatayam, performed by dancers who truly embodied the spirit of multiculturalism and a love for art. Other crowd favourites included performances by our very own versions of Michael Jackson and MG Ramachandran (MGR) who got the audience whistling and clapping with enthusiasm. The show-stopper of night was definitely the lively Bhangra performance that got both the MPs and residents up on their feet and dancing to the beat! It was certainly a night of song, dance and culture, and we all enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Special thanks to all our wonderful performers and volunteers who made the event possible!"
