inhalation of small amounts of gas or other chemicals over a long period may result in chronic bronchitis. Also, inhalation of some chemicals, such as arsenic compounds and hydrocarbons, can cause cancer. Cancer may develop in the lungs or elsewhere in the body, depending on the substance inhaled.

Those who stay in Punggol Sengkang better be careful. Dunch play play.. Such toxic air have long term side effects.

Punggol 21 Plus is announced (19 Aug 2007)

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shared a new vision for the development of Punggol during his National Day Rally on 19 August 2007. Located in northeast Singapore, the Punggol area is bounded by Sungei Serangoon, Tampines Expressway, Sungei Punggol, Straits of Johor and the Serangoon Harbour. Dubbed “Punggol 21 Plus” (or “Punggol 21+”), the plan was a revamp of the earlier Punggol 21 blueprint that was first unveiled in 1996 by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong in his National Day Rally. Construction of the Punggol 21 project commenced in 1998, but was halted when housing demand dipped as a result of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Work was further hampered by a slump in the construction industry in 2003.

Unveiled as part of the Housing and Development Board’s “Remaking our Heartland” initiative, Punggol 21 Plus reinvigorated the vision of transforming Punggol into “A waterfront town of the 21st century”. Under the enhanced plan, the Serangoon and Punggol rivers would be dammed to create reservoirs, with an additional waterway cutting through the estate to connect the two rivers. The 4.2-kilometre Punggol Waterway would be the central feature of the estate, with resort-style housing, a town centre, as well as recreational amenities such as water sports, parks with jogging and cycling tracks, and eateries offering al fresco dining on its banks. The revival of development after a decade of sluggish progress was much welcomed by Punggol residents.

Construction of the Punggol Waterway began in April 2009. It was officially opened by Prime Minister Lee on 23 October 2011. Waterway Terraces – the first public-housing project located along the waterway – was launched in mid-2010. Designed by international architecture firm Group8asia in partnership with local firm Aedas, the project featured eco-friendly elements that set the tone for other developments in the vicinity. Since the launch of Punggol 21 Plus, the resident population of Punggol has grown in tandem with the pace of development, from 52,700 in 2007 to 83,300 as at March 2013.

Punggol has a lovely park and jogging track facing pasir gudang. Good place for healthy living. Those toxic fumes cannot be worse than pig farms that used to be in punggol.

Sad part is they can't call NEA, SCDF, etc... They have to call a Malaysian number to complain. Better tell mp to tell minister to tell PM to tell madhatter to make sure air compliance.
