Launched in 2013, My Block Sparkles is an annual competition aimed at raising awareness as well as encouraging residents to keep their estates clean.

Based on the quality of the Social Dimension Proofs submitted as well as the Physical Dimension Assessment by our panel of judges for Round 2, we have selected one Residents’ Committee (RC) per constituency for the advancement to Round 3 of the competition.

Void decks, staircases, and letterbox areas in HDB estates are usually dirtier due to high traffic flow. Other than relying on the conservancy workers to keep the estates clean, the residents should also play their part in keeping the estates clean.

In order to implement this idea, Chua Chu Kang Town Council organized My Block Sparkles Competition in Chua Chu Kang Constituency, Keat Hong Constituency, Yew Tee Constituency, Nanyang Constituency, Bukit Gombak Constituency, and Hong Kah North Constituency to garner the support of the residents to keep the estates clean.

The Resident Committees and Grassroots Leaders conducted house visits and gave out flyers to encourage residents to join the competition.

The competition lasted for 3months and the panel of judges for the competition came from HDB, NEA, CCC, and CCKTC.

The cleanliness of the estates (such as cleanliness level and obstruction) account for 70% of the score while educational events related to the competition account for the remaining 30%.

MP for Chua Chu Kang (Keat Hong) Mr Zaqy Mohamad mentioned: “Most of the time, the conservancy workers clean the estates in the morning but the estates become dirty again in the afternoon. To keep the estates clean, we cannot rely on conservancy workers only, the residents must also be responsible.”

Mr Zaqy Mohamad also mentioned that littering in Chua Chu Kang Town is not severe but there is still a need to resolve high rise littering and lift urination problems.

Mr Zaqy Mohamad emphasized that there might be restrictions in conducting enforcement sometimes; he hopes that through education, social responsibility messages can be better instilled in the residents.

First prize goes to Bukit Gombak Constituency Blk 513, second prize goes to Chua Chu Kang Constituency Blk 755, while third prize goes to Hong Kah North Constituency Blk 765.

Every unit in the winning blocks will get a $5-$20 S&CC one-time rebate in the November bill.

Guilin RC Chairman Ms Mary Choo is excited to receive the first prize. She mentioned: “Although many residents might not be able to join the competition due to their busy schedule, grassroots leaders have been promoting educational messages to the residents and the next competition will be even better.”
