The six Residents’ Committees (RCs) in Bishan East organised a series of block parties for residents on 18 and 19 April. More than 400 residents attended these events held over the weekend.
DPM and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng, the MP for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, attended all the block parties and interacted with the residents.
A highlight of the block parties was the lift upgrading announcement for Block 135 to 138 Bishan Street 12.
When the time comes for voting, at least 75% of the eligible residents at blocks 135 to 138 must vote “yes” so that lift upgrading can be carried out.
Lift upgrading is part of a broad plan to renew Bishan East. Apart from the external environment being improved, a total of 90 blocks in Bishan have already voted for lift upgrading. Lift upgrading has been completed in half of them (45 blocks) and the rest are currently under construction.
Lift upgrading brings many benefits to residents. With lift upgrading, the residents will enjoy the convenience of direct lift access to every floor and the elderly will not need to walk up and down flights of stairs. During his house-to-house visits to the blocks which have completed the LUP, residents told Mr Wong that they are very happy with the lift upgrading.
In the coming weeks, the Bishan East Blog team will write about how lift upgrading was extensively carried out in Bishan East in the past few years. We will also share with you the feedback from residents who have had their lifts upgraded.
Other than the block parties, the Bishan Community Club’s Senior Citizens’ Executive Committee (SCEC) also organised two events. On Saturday evening, more than 300 members of the special interest groups of the SCEC gathered for a sumptuous dinner. On Sunday, the SCEC hosted a lunch for 270 residents from five welfare homes, two senior activity centres and two family services centres as part of the Kindness Week 2009.
