Mobile TCM clinic brings services closer to East Coast residents
SINGAPORE -Madam Choo Choi Sim, 59, has a condition called trigger finger in which a finger becomes locked in a bent or straightened position.
While traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments can alleviate it, there are few TCM clinics near the home of the self-employed Loyang resident, who would have to travel all the way to Tampines to seek treatment.
On Monday (April 26), a new TCM mobile clinic that offers TCM treatments to residents in East Coast GRC was officially launched by the MPs of the constituency, which will allow Madam Choo to regularly receive acupuncture treatments at heavily subsidised prices near her home in Flora Road.
The mobile clinic, which is part of a pilot programme, will visit about 25 locations across East Coast GRC on a regular basis. These include Bedok North Road, Bedok Reservoir View and Flora Drive.
Residents can book appointments with the clinic through the five community centres in East Coast, including Bedok Community Centre (CC) and Siglap CC.
At the launch event in Flora Drive on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said that the mobile clinic was started in response to feedback that many residents, especially less mobile seniors, found it difficult to get TCM treatment.
"With TCM services on wheels, we will be able to bring heavily subsidised services closer to the homes of East Coast residents," said Mr Heng.
Those younger than 50 will pay $8 for a consultation or acupuncture service, while those aged 50 and above pay $3 for a consultation and $4 for an acupuncture service.
Those holding blue Community Health Assist Scheme cards, or who are recipients of ComCare assistance or MediFund, will get services for free.
The mobile clinic is supported by the South East Community Development Council (CDC). The CDC has contributed $50,000 to the pilot phase of the programme, and more funding will be provided if the programme expands.
The duration of the pilot will be adjusted according to the demand and the reception from the residents, said an East Coast GRC spokesman.

Khadijah Mosque and Religious Rehabilitation Group resource centre to undergo renovation
SINGAPORE - One of Singapore's oldest mosques, which is home to a resource and counselling centre for countering extremism, will be renovated to better serve the community.
The Khadijah Mosque in Aljunied, which was built in 1920 and underwent major preservation works in 2001, will get a new facade that will expand the resource centre come mid-2023.
The works, due to start in the middle of this year, will add an outdoor gallery and a multi-purpose hall and see a new entrance and reception area, among other improvements.
Plans for the facelift were announced at an event at the mosque on Thursday (April 29), attended by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat, several ministers and Muslim leaders, as well as members of the Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG) which runs the centre.
In a speech, DPM Heng underscored the pivotal role played by the mosque in supporting the RRG's work, as well as the critical role of the RRG in building understanding and tolerance, given the deepening fault lines over race and religion in many societies.
He said he was heartened that the leaders of religious and community groups in Singapore have rallied together in the fight against extremism, condemning violence and making clear that they stand firmly against all forms of radical ideologies.
He also held up the RRG's outreach for being "instrumental" in building a Singapore where people of different races and religions can live peacefully together, based on mutual understanding and trust.
"In addition, the Resource and Counselling Centre serves not only to provide visitors with a better appreciation of global terrorism, but also an opportunity to understand the actual message that Islam teaches its followers - that of peace," said Mr Heng.
He later added: "This is why we have peace and harmony in Singapore."
The RRG Resource and Counselling Centre, which opened in 2014, allows members of the public to seek clarification on radical ideology and violent extremism, and receive counselling. It also stores resource materials that RRG counsellors can refer to in the course of their work with radicalised individuals.
Mr Heng noted that prior to Covid-19, the centre's gallery, which can accommodate only 30 visitors at a time, had welcomed a remarkable 15,000-plus visitors, including from schools and abroad.
The expanded centre will allow it to reach out to even more Singaporeans and strengthen counter-ideology outreach efforts, said Mr Heng, who stressed that these are critical steps to face the threat of online radicalisation. Since 2015, the Internal Security Department has dealt with 54 people under the Internal Security Act for terror-related conduct, and the bulk of these cases were radicalised online.
RRG vice-chairman Ustaz Mohamed Ali said the expansion of the centre is needed because of the rising number of its visitors and because of the wider variety of the RRG's counter-radicalisation activities in the community.
"Enhancement and upgrading of facilities are deemed necessary prerequisites to deliver a better and more effective experience for the visitors and community alike," he added.
Beyond these efforts by the RRG, Mr Heng held up how the Malay/Muslim community has also been working hard to build up a reservoir of goodwill among the different communities in Singapore.
"Malay/Muslim organisations have played a significant role in building our Malay/Muslim community in Singapore, which has much to be proud of," said Mr Heng. He noted the efforts of many volunteers over the years to uplift the community, preserve their culture and language, and guide their religious needs that also foster harmony with others.
The community has many successful role models, who are making significant impact to Singapore and giving back to society, he added.
"The community has dignity because it knows it has to be equal in substance and not only in rights," said Mr Heng. "Those who have done well want to give back, but in ways that fulfil their personal mission in life."
The DPM also noted that Singapore's diverse society has remained harmonious and cohesive not by chance but because of a determined collective effort, and thanked the Muslim community for its contributions on this front.
"Let us continue to work together to preserve and strengthen our social bonds, drawing strength from our diversity, instead of letting it divide us," he said.

Industry Transformation Maps to be refreshed, strengthened over next 5 years: DPM Heng
SINGAPORE - To seize new opportunities in a post-Covid-19 world, Singapore's 23 Industry Transformation Maps (ITMs) will be refreshed as part of a new plan over the next five years.
Dubbed ITM 2025, it will be strengthened by three new thrusts: incorporating the recommendations of the Emerging Stronger Taskforce, closer integration with research and innovation, and greater focus on jobs and skills.
"We must redouble our efforts to prepare our workers and businesses for this future... We have a head start as we started our ITM effort five years ago," said Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies Heng Swee Keat on Friday (April 30).
He was speaking at the first virtual meeting of the new term of the Future Economy Council (FEC), which he chairs and which oversees the ITMs.
"Many companies have also managed to weather the crisis, preserving capabilities and retaining skilled workers. On the back of our strong tripartite foundation, we are building for the future from a position of strength," Mr Heng added.
The ITMs were launched in 2016 under the FEC as road maps to drive transformation for 23 industries across manufacturing, built environment, trade and connectivity, essential domestic services, modern services and lifestyle.
Mr Heng said that these economic transformation efforts will be integrated more closely with the national Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2025 plans, in which Singapore is investing $25 billion over the next five years.
To better address the needs of businesses and Singaporeans, and translate R&D into business solutions and products, the FEC's work has been reorganised to align with the four RIE domains: manufacturing, trade and connectivity; human health and potential; urban solutions and sustainability; and smart nation and digital economy.
ITM 2025 will also incorporate the recommendations of the Emerging Stronger Taskforce, launched last May to chart Singapore's post-pandemic economy.
At Friday's meeting, the task force presented its recommendations on how Singapore can ride on the digital revolution, and the pursuit of greater sustainability and inclusive growth. Mr Heng noted that the task force has also piloted a new approach to public-private partnerships through Alliances for Action, which are industry-led coalitions to act on growth opportunities.
This new way of partnership can be an integral part of ITM efforts, he said, adding that the task force will share more details in the coming weeks.
In his speech, Mr Heng also stressed the importance of jobs and skills to help people reach their fullest potential, and the continued importance of tripartite partnerships.
"As the economy transforms, we must help displaced workers move to other good jobs, and enable our senior workers to continue working if they wish to," he said.
"We should build on the strengths of our people. They have a strong foundation in their school years and can look forward to the next bound of SkillsFuture."
Noting that the global economy in the coming years will be filled with greater uncertainty and complexity, and the next phase of Singapore's economic journey will be more challenging, he said Singapore must continue to adapt and evolve its approach.
The FEC will also see several new faces from May 15.
They include Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu, incoming Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong, Social and Family Development Minister Masagos Zulkifli, and incoming Manpower Minister Tan See Leng.
New private and public sector representatives include Woh Hup Holdings executive director Neil Yong, CapitaLand group CEO Lee Chee Koon, Pontiac Land Group head of hotels Kwee Wei-Lin, and Nanyang Polytechnic principal and CEO Jeanne Liew.
National Trades Union Congress president Mary Liew, an FEC member, said the labour movement has been encouraging companies to tap on NTUC's resources and networks to set up company training committees.
"As businesses develop new capabilities, so too will our workers benefit from better and improved training," she said. "The labour movement stands ready to support the work of the FEC and the ITMs, and to leverage the strength of our collective efforts so that our workers will have better wages, welfare and work prospects."
