DPM’s MessageDear Bishan-Toa Payoh Residents,

This special Supplement showcases the improve-ments in our Town over the last fi ve years. I am pleased to present it to you on behalf of the GRC MPs and the Town Council.

We have seen tremendous improvements to ourliving environment during this period. The changes were made possible through the collective efforts of the Town Council and Grassroots Organisations. More importantly, we have your strong endorse-ment to support these upgrading efforts.

More than $400 million were invested to upgrade our homes and estates. The improvements catered to the needs of residents from all age groups. Almost every block has completed or will undergo lift-upgrading. Public amenities like wheel-chair access, parks and sports facilities were built or improved.

Bishan-Toa Payoh is our home, and we have worked hard to make the living environment of our residents better. We will continue to improve the facilities and deepen the community bonds, so as to build a better community which we cherish.

We plan to do more and we will announce our next phase of initiatives soon. We remain fi rmly committed to serve.

Wong Kan SengOn behalf of all MPs for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC

Mesej DPMKepada Penduduk Bishan-Toa Payoh,

Tambahan khas ini memaparkan kemajuan-kemajuan di dalam Bandar kita dalam tempoh lima tahun lepas. Saya dengan gembiranya mempersembahkannya kepada anda bagi pihak Ahli-ahli Parlimen GRC dan Majlis Perbandaran.

Kita telah menyaksikan pembaharuan-pemba-haruan yang hebat pada persekitaran hidup kita di sepanjang tempoh ini. Perubahan-perubahan tersebut menjadi nyata hasil usaha bersepadu pihak Majlis Perbandaran dan Pertubuhan-pertubuhan Akar Umbi. Lebih penting lagi, kami memiliki sokongan kuat anda untuk menyokong usaha-usaha peningkatan ini.

Lebih daripada $400 juta telah dilaburkan untuk menaik taraf kediaman dan kawasan perumahan kita. Pembaikan-pembaikan tersebut memenuhi keperluan penduduk dari semua kumpulan umur. Hampir setiap blok sudah atau akan men-jalani kerja-kerja menaik taraf lif. Kemudahan awam seperti capaian kerusi roda, taman-taman dan kemudahan-kemudahan sukan dibina atau diperbaiki.

Bishan-Toa Payoh adalah tempat tinggal kita, dan kami telah bekerja keras untuk menjadikan persekitaran hidup penduduk kami menjadi lebih baik. Kami akan terus memperbaiki kemu-dahan-kemudahan ini serta mengeratkan ikatan masyarakat, demi membina sebuah masyarakat yang lebih baik seperti yang kita harap-harapkan.

Kami merancang untuk melakukan lebih dari-pada ini dan kami akan mengumumkan insiatif-inistiatif kami seterusnya tidak lama lagi. Kami kekal komited untuk terus berkhidmat..

Wong Kan SengBagi pihak semua Ahli Parlimen Bishan Toa-Payoh GRC.
