Dear Residents of Nee Soon South,
The excitement is building up as the energy gets more intense! In a matter of days, the long-awaited Youth Olympic Games will be making history here in Singapore. Our stadiums and fields will be alive with the screams and cheers of nations, each rooting for their own, yet united in the spirit of the Olympics. Let us be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and give our own athletes the support and energy they deserve.
No doubt, with an event of such a scale, it is impossible to confine the overwhelming energy to the stadiums. As hosts, we should be gracious to our guests, and extend our sportsmanship even out on the streets, giving way to the official YOG cars.
Talking about traffic, in recent weeks, I've received feedbacks on parking at private estates. Some residents have resorted to using refuse bins to reserve parking spaces outside their houses. As much as possible, I urge all of you to park your cars in your own porches. Curbside parking obstructs and impedes traffic flow; and poses a danger especially at the junctions. It is understandable if cars are parked there occasionally when friends come to visit, or for the loading/unloading of goods. But, we should not park there permanently in the interest of everyone's safety. I seek your understanding and co-operation so as to have harmonious neighbourhood.
Also, further down near Nee Soon South's Community Club, there were several near accidents at the zebra crossing. I advise pedestrians to make it a point to look both left and right, and cross only when the oncoming vehicles have stopped.
Meanwhile, I would like to invite you to come to the CC on 15th August to support our Blood Donation drive from 10am-4pm. Please do come down and help save someone's life!
From the looks of it, August is going to be an exciting month, and definitely one to remember especially with our celebrating the nation's 45th National Day.
I wish you all A Happy National Day and an eventful August!
Sincerely,
Er Lee Bee Wah,
MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC & Adviser to Nee Soon South GROs
