Once again, wishing all residents of Bishan East a prosperous Lunar New Year with roaring successes and good health in the year of the Tiger. On the evening of 25 February 2010, Mr Wong Kan Seng, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs ,Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, visited residents of block 175 at Bishan East RC Zone 4.
DPM Wong visited a total of 96 households and was hosted by the Zone 4 RC Chairman, Mr Alfred Tan, who despite his injury, welcomed DPM Wong on his arrival. DPM Wong was by led through the block visit by grassroots leaders and was accompanied by agencies such as the Town Council, Police, LTA, HDB and NEA. Residents were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful gesture by DPM Wong who personally gave away tokens of mandarin oranges that signify prosperity and good fortunes.
Families and residents warmly welcomed DPM Wong into their homes and gave their resounding compliments on the safety and security, convenience of transport and plentiful amenities available in the estate. There was also unequivocal words of appreciation for the convenience brought about by the latest Lift Upgrading Program. Residents would also be very pleasantly surprised that many of their neighbours came from a wide array of interesting places such as Johor Bahru, Penang, Indonesia, Shenzhen, Hanoi, Ho Chi Min city, Taiwan, Hong Kong and not forgetting the Philippines!
