Dear Residents of Sengkang GRC,
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted our daily lives and altered the ways in which we live, work and play. During this period of uncertainty, Sengkang Town Council remains committed in our fight against the evolving pandemic through our continued efforts to ensure the health and safety of all in our community.
Here are a few of the measures that have been in place to safeguard our community against Covid-19:
DISINFECTING OUR COMMON AREAS
Our conservancy cleaners are sanitising high-contact touchpoints (lift buttons, railings, letterboxes, etc.) on a daily basis in efforts to reduce the potential spread of the virus.
LIMITING THE USE OF SHARED SPACES
In line with the latest measures implemented by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of National Development (MND) on limiting the sizes of group gatherings at common areas, SKTC has blockaded shared facilities in our town such as barbeque areas.
ADVOCATING SAFE DISTANCING
SKTC is also advocating safe distancing by demarcating seats at common areas such as void decks where large group sizes may otherwise gather.
Let us remain united as a community, and look out for one another as we stay safe and healthy. #TeamSengkang #SengkangGRC

It is quite important to clean the lift dials. Many people touch them. :coffee:

My memories of Russia are brief but enduring: frigid cold (it was -30 degrees in February), vodka-infused toasts over the course of a 3-hour dinner (and everyone was obliged to give a speech), and an offer to launch my academic career at the National Research University – Higher School of Economics’s International College of Economics and Finance (which I eventually turned down).
But earlier this week my task was much simpler: to speak (virtually) with a group of senior civil servants responsible for urbanization as well as city and regional public services, who were students at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. I was able to share the Singapore experience, both in terms of its development story, as well as its unique city model, which overlays high-density urban spaces with green spaces, modeled as a “garden city.”

Netizens praise Jamus Lim as ‘Model MP’ and Workers’ Party as ‘the trustworthy alternative voice of SG’

1622998581144.png


Singapore — Netizens have high praise for Workers’ Party (WP) Member of Parliament (MP) Jamus Lim.

In a Facebook post on Friday (Jun 4), one Dania Nasuha wrote: “Jamus Lim doing his rounds at Anchorvale. Quietly and humbly. No entourage, no paid photographers. Model MP.”

Her sentiment was shared by Dennis Khew, who wrote: “When Jamus Lim said ‘Gam Xia, Sengkang, he surely meant it”.

Mr Khew made reference to the words Assoc Prof Lim said after the four-member WP team defeated the People’s Action Party team, taking 52.13 per cent of the vote, in the biggest upset of the 2020 general election.

Thanking voters, Prof Lim spoke of the win using his trademark phrase, “warms the cockles of our hearts”. He ended saying, “Gam siah, Sengkang.” (Hokkien for “Thank you, Sengkang.”

Sharing a photo of a man walking near Block 316B Anchorvale Link taken by Ms Nasuha, Mr Khew wrote that Associate Professor Jamus Lim was “Seen here doing his rounds quietly alone in 33°C & probably 99.99% humidity! No entourage, no SPH photographers, no gongs, no bells, no airs.”

Mr Khew thanked the Workers’ Party and referred to them as “the trustworthy alternative voice of SG”.

Netizens who commented on both posts agreed with the sentiments shared. Many added that they frequently saw the Workers’ Party MPs doing their rounds, unlike MPs from other parties.

Sweat-soaked man in Sengkang looks like WP MP Jamus Lim doing solo walkabout with no fanfare​


1623067878745.png


A photo of a lone sweat-soaked man walking past 316B Anchorvale Link in Sengkang was put up on Facebook on June 4, 2021, which generated interest as the person was identified as Workers' Party MP Jamus Lim.

A member of the public who took the photo claimed it was Lim going about his duties.

Her post's caption read:

Jamus Lim doing his rounds at Anchorvale. Quietly and humbly. No entourage, no paid photographers. Model MP.
Lim is currently the MP for the Anchorvale ward in Sengkang.

The photo was believed to have been taken on the first Friday of June, when temperatures in Singapore soared to a high of 34°C during the day.

What photo showed

Based on what can be seen from the photo, the man's face could not be identified as it showed his back view, while his gait and hair style could barely be made out from a distance.

However, the man's grey shirt that appeared drenched with a big dark grey patch of his perspiration bore an uncanny resemblance to a previous image of Lim, when he personally revealed the unglamorous side of politics while on his regular walkabouts before he was elected:

Wins praise​


The photo of the grey shirt man was originally put up by Dania Nasuha, and shared again by at least two other Facebook pages, where they were reshared at least a few thousand times in total.

Responses to the photo of Lim making the rounds on his own in the estate without minders elicited praise.

Multiple comments on Facebook said Lim's approach was praiseworthy, as what he was doing could have well gone undocumented if not for this chance occurrence of him being recognised and photographed for posterity.

But some commenters did doubt whether it was indeed Lim who was photographed.

As of the wee hours of June 6, Lim, a savvy social media user, has not address the fanfare over the supposed sighting of him.

However, he did mention on May 23, in the midst of the Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) period, that the estate walk activity is still permissible, but those carried out will be a "scaled-down version".


That week's walk was accompanied by litter-clearing in the estate, where Lim was seen participating in the hands-on activity.

Lim's preferred apparel: Polo shirts​


Lim was also previously seen a few times before in a similar-looking grey polo shirt.

On many of his house visits, he would turn up in a different coloured polo shirt each time.
