Raining Books !

On 18 April, at around 5.45pm, the RC received a call through our hotline that there is a unit at Block 787, seen throwing books from their windows.  Not just one book, but many many books ...

I am sure it could be out of anger or other reasons that the books were thrown without regard to any human lives walking on the pathway ... so, next time you walked below HDB flats, don't be surprised to see other form of droplets instead of cats and dogs ...

Cleanest Block for 2012

Do you know that recently in Chua Chu Kang estate, there was a "Cleanest Block" competition within the 19 blocks managed by the RC ? If you did not know, Zone 9 RC has 19 blocks, from Block 762 to 792.  Above is the plate, proudly being etched onto the wall of Block 768 for residents to know that they have played a part in the estate cleaniness.

Lets all of us play our part and keep it up, not just for Block 768 but for all blocks, as we love to stay in a clean estate we call our own.

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.
