Dear Residents and Friends,
DPM Wong Kan Seng, our Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, visited 96 households at Block 141 in Bishan East RC Zone 5 on the Thursday evening of 30 July 2009. DPM Wong was accompanied by the Zone 5 RC Chairman Mr Stuyvesant Lim, his fellow grassroots leaders and officers representing agencies such as the HDB, Town Council, Police and the LTA. Despite the warm night, residents awaited eagerly and patiently at their doorstep for the visit by DPＭ Wong. Residents gave the feedback that they are happy with the amenities and especially the Lift Upgrading Programme, which provided them with added convenience.
DPM Wong also joined in not one, not two but six floor parties whereby neighbours and residents enjoyed the food and drinks among good companionship. The next block visit will be on 13 August at Block 155 of Bishan East RC Zone 6. Do look out for us!

BISHAN EAST EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DAY 2009
Bishan East News Flash!
On the Sunday morning of 26 July 2009, a massive bomb was set off by terrorists in Bishan East estate. The authority is still unable to ascertain the total number of casualties and victims at the onset of the blast. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) was mobilised to evacuate and perform first aid treatment for the bomb blast victim while awaiting the arrival of the SCDF and other government agencies.
But don't worry. This is all but a drill to commemorate the Bishan East Emergency Preparedness Day 2009. From the proficiency of CERT volunteers and the efficiency of the SCDF, Singaporean and Bishan East residents are assured that the various government agencies and the community are well-prepared to manage and handle such unforeseeable yet real possibilities of terror threats in Singapore. The Guest of Honour for the event was DPM Wong Kan Seng who was accompanied by the CCC Chairman Mr. Chua Thian Poh and the Organising Chairperson Jacqueline.
During the Emergency Prepareness Day, residents were given a first hand demonstration through a bomb blast drill where CERT Team members demonstrated their incident management and first-aid skills. Children were also offered free rides on the state-of-the-art Red Rhinos rapid response vehicle. The crowd was also invited to view the performance by the SCDF search dogs.
Here are the photos taken during the event. We hope you will enjoy viewing them.
