Locate my MP & Constituency

Singapore, 13 February 2016 – Mr Zaqy Mohamad, Adviser to Chua Chu Kang GRC GROs (Keat Hong), unveiled extensive plans to rejuvenate Keat Hong at the constituency’s Lunar New Year celebration dinner. The plans fall under the vision of KEAT HONG 2020 where the constituency will see a significant part of the estate revitalised over the next four years into a vibrant and contemporary residential hub, incorporating the latest facilities to encourage an active lifestyle. This is the first time the constituency has branded all these developments under one banner.

Said Mr Zaqy Mohamad: “Keat Hong is a neighbourhood with a lot of history; where many residents have lived here for two generations or more. The estate, therefore, needs to be rejuvenated with the “hardware” component, while strengthening the community spirit with the “heartware” component.

We would also like to empower our residents with more say and involvement on how their estates can be improved under KEAT HONG 2020. They will have more opportunities to voice out their views and suggestions through our sharing sessions. The first sharing session will kick start in April 2016 under the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP).”

Fostering Community Ties and Encouraging an Active Lifestyle

Having a great time at Keat Hong SG50 Food Fiesta

* “Heartware” will take the form of community initiatives by People’s Association and Grassroots Organisations to strengthen the community spirit in Keat Hong.

* The upcoming five-storey Community Club @ Keat Hong, located opposite Lot One Shoppers’ Mall, will be the first Community Club in Singapore to have an 18-lane bowling centre as well as a ceiling to floor LED wall located at the centre of the plaza where residents will be able to enjoy movie screenings and possibly, ‘live’ sports matches in future. Residents can also look forward to the family-friendly 24-hour gym when it opens in December 2016.

* Apart from this iconic lifestyle hub, together with People’s Association, the Grassroots Organisations will continue to serve the residents with initiatives which are tailor-made and catered for the different groups of residents.

Renewal and Provision of Additional Facilities

Speed Racer Cycling Equipment

* “Hardware” consists of at least $50m worth of upgrading projects which will be undertaken by Chua Chu Kang Town Council, Housing and Development Board (HDB), Land Transport Authority (LTA), NParks and various agencies.

* Children in Keat Hong can look forward to Singapore’s first-ever “castle-themed” playground and an innovative new-concept cycling station called “Speed Racer” which uses human kinetic energy to power an electronic racing game board.

* Under the NRP, Blocks 401 – 428 in Choa Chu Kang Ave 3/4 will see improvements to their common areas. The heart of the precinct will take on new life as a Mega Active Lifestyle Hub, consisting of a playground, fitness corners, and game courts suitable for residents of all ages.

* Apart from the upcoming sharing sessions for this particular NRP which will kick start in April 2016, residents can also expect to receive similar invitations to attend sharing sessions or to provide their suggestions through surveys in the near future for various projects like Large-scale Town-wide and Repairs & Redecorations.

Improving Connectivity to Public Transport & Amenities

* Mooted by Mr Zaqy Mohamad, residents can expect the traffic flow to improve with the stretch of Choa Chu Kang Ave 4, between Choa Chu Kang Loop and Choa Chu Kang Drive, to be widened by the second quarter of 2016.

* Residents will also benefit from the phased implementation of sheltered linkways within 400m radius of the Choa Chu Kang MRT to major pathways. These will be implemented in phases, in tandem with the development of the new Community Club, road widening works as well as the bus interchange upgrade.

In addition, there are other initiatives being planned under KEAT HONG 2020 and these will be revealed in due course.

Dear Residents, 

Recently, various media reported that not only are the number of dengue cases expected to increase this year, but the cases are also expected to spike earlier than in previous years.

We will continue to diligently inspect the estates for potential dengue breeding sites, and to carry out our scheduled fogging.

We also encourage residents to be vigilant of mosquito breeding in their homes. About 80% of mosquito breeding sites were found in our residents’ homes. The external areas such as construction sites, shopping centres and surrounding areas make up the remaining 20%.

We hope that residents continue to take all necessary precautions to keep safe from dengue. 

Dear Residents,

With the festive period coming up, Chua Chu Kang Town Council would like to help our residents with their spring cleaning efforts by upgrading our free bulky items removal service.

From 4 Jan 2016 to 5 Feb 2016, all bulky items that are left at the designated areas at the void deck will be collected daily by the Town Council. There will be signage at the void deck to point out the designated areas. There is no cap on the number of things you can discard during this period.

If you have any enquiries, please contact the Town Council at Tel: 6569 0388 or info@ccktc.org.sg.

* Please note that the service is strictly not applicable for house moving purposes and/or for renovation debris.

Dear Residents,

In an effort to improve the overall cleanliness and safety around our town, please ensure that the common corridor that you share with your fellow neighbours are not cluttered with bulky or flammable items. Obstruction to common corridors, staircases and firefighting equipment (e.g. dry risers & hose reels) can seriously hamper firefighting efforts and evacuations during an emergency.

We would like to seek your co-operation to remove your item(s) that are cluttering and/or obstructing the common corridor and staircases. Should you need any assistance in doing so, you may contact us by calling 6569 0388 or emailing info@ccktc.org.sg.

Together we can make our home, a safer and cleaner place for all.

Thank you for the overwhelming response to Chua Chu Kang Connects Newsletter Contest!

Congratulations to our 10 Lucky Winners who will be walking away with a Chua Chu Kang Town Council goodie bag worth up to $50 and two tickets to any S-League match!

Dear Residents,

Following the recent unfortunate lift accident where an elderly lady’s hand was trapped, Chua Chu Kang Town Council embarked on a comprehensive inspection of all lifts within our estate. This was conducted in addition to our regular routine checks.

From 12 October onwards, our Lift Maintenance teams started the first round of checks on the lift safety features. From 15 to 16 October 2015, our officers inspected over 1800 lifts. Their main aim was to ensure that all safety measures were functioning properly and to rectify any faulty sensors or door safety edges.

We would also like to encourage residents to report any lift faults by calling 6569 0388 (during office hours) or 1800 275 5555 (after office hours).

Together, we can make our town a safer place for all.

We wish to congratulate our Town Council Councillors on being conferred the following awards at the 2015 National Day Awards!

Guest-of-Honour, Mr Gan Kim Yong, Minister for Health, MP for Chua Chu Kang GRC (Chua Chu Kang) graced the event to garner support from the residents for the NRP.

It was great to see our residents enjoying themselves to the food and refreshments, not to mention the exhibitions, games, performances and photobooth as well.

Once again, we thank all residents for showing their support for the NRP and we hope that the upgrading projects will create a better living environment for all!

We cordially invite the residents of Block 130 – 146 Choa Chu Kang Ave 1/ Teck Whye Lane/ Teck Whye Ave to join us at the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) Consensus Gathering on Saturday, 6 June 2015, 2pm at Chua Chu Kang Community Club Multi-Purpose Hall.

The NRP’s aim is to upgrade and improve the estate through the renewal and provision of additional facilities. The NRP cost will be fully funded by the Government and residents need not pay for the programme.

The NRP will only be implemented if at least 75% of the eligible lessees in this neighbourhood vote in favour of it. Thus, it is important that all residents support and vote “YES” for the NRP during the NRP Consensus Gathering.

We have also prepared attractive souvenirs, lucky draw prizes, refreshments, games and food stalls for the event. We hope to see you there!
