Jamus continued house visits. 
Over the past few weeks, #TeamSengkang completed house visits at 307B, 309C #Anchorvale, along with the final set of WCYH engagements, at the Fields/Plains and Cove clusters. For blocks 307B and 309C, this was our second visit since the #workersparty took over #SengkangGRC. This means that we have completed one full round of visits, for all the HDB blocks under my care (we’ve made it into some condos as well, such as Rivercove, the Vale’s, La Fiesta, and Sengkang Grand, but alas have not received invitations to the others). It marks the satisfaction of a small key performance indicator (KPI), which I had set internally for myself.
I’m not a huge fan of “management by KPI,” nor do I believe in blindly meeting KPIs for KPIs’ sake. But I do see advantages to setting achievable goals, knowing where one stands relative to those, and establishing credible benchmarks relative to others. But perhaps more important, it also means that we’ve been able to connect with thousands and thousands of residents across the town, to hear their voices and concerns, to be better able to assist them as well as represent them in parliament.
Heartfelt thanks go out to all the volunteers that have walked together with me, and engaged in conversations with the people of Sengkang and Singapore. I tend to take house visits at a more measured pace than most, so I am extremely happy that we’ve been able to complete one round. If we’ve yet to touch base, hopefully we’ll be able to do so as we head into round two!
