Rubbish from above ... Block 790

On 22 Sep 2012, a resident saw a frail hand with a white bag, extended out of the window and in horror, watch the packet of waste landed on the surface road.  Thankfully, it did not hit people or any vehicles, parked at the loading / unloading bay.

Our RC members got the call at 8.30am in the morning when the act happened.  We quickly arranged a team to visit the unit and discovered as follows :

1) Most likely it was a very elderly lady, with mobility difficulty
2) Family is aware but cannot do much as even with precautions taken, it still happens
3) Elderly lady was left home alone for extended period of time, as family has to work or has to go school

We will find time to meet with the resident and see how best we can assist.  Most important, in knowing that this elderly lady is home alone during working hours, our concern is more to find a team of people to visit them regularly.

If your home has elderly who is always alone at home as the rest of the family has to work or go to school, please do let the RC know.  Allow us to look into it to start a group who are keen for this way of serving.

Molest Case at Block 790

On 18 Sep, there was a molest case at Block 790.  From what we heard from residents feedback, the molester followed the victim from the MRT Station, all the way to the block.  The case is still under investigation by the police.

We would like to caution that crime can also happen, in the day time.  It can happen anytime.  Especially if anyone of the ladies, going into the lifts alone with a stranger, the best option is always to allow the stranger to go in, while you wait for the next one.

Please do remember to inform your loved ones about lurking dangers and the precautions they can take to keep themselves safe and sane.
