Dear Friends and Neighbours,
two alerts for your well being in health and safety:
DENGUE:
The hot season is coming by again, and with it, plus the intermittent rains, the increased risk of dengue being spread by mosquitoes breeding in nooks and corners where you least expect it.
Please follow the preventive checks as advised by the NEA Dengue Prevention website - www.dengue.gov.sg - to keep yourself, your loved ones and your neighbours safe!
THEFT:
There have been recent reports of break-ins at the rear end of the pre-war estate - where the streets are quieter. Please remember to keep your front AND backdoors locked, especially the common door at the bottom of the back escape staircase.
While thefts are thankfully rare in our estate, it is better to take precautions.
One helpful way is to also look out for each other - that's what neighbours are for.
And even better, if you know the shops downstairs - they are not only convenient, but the shopkeepers, if you know them and they know you, are our 'eyes on the street'.
If you see anything suspicious - call your local police post:

Noise Noise Noise!
What do you do when your neighbours drive you up the wall with noise late at night?
Here's the response from the friendly local Police to a complaint on Guan Chuan Street - so, take note, and use them!
Dear Sir
I refer to your preceding email of XX November 2009.
The Police recognise that noise pollution at night is likely to cause
greater annoyance. As such, for noise pollution complaints at night (
typically between 10.30 p.m. and 7 a.m.) the police officer will attend to the scene.
Therefore you are advised to call the Bukit Merah East Neighbourhood
Police Centre at 1800-2369999 to seek their assistance if the noise created is extremely loud and intolerable. We have informed the Central Police Division to step up frequent police patrol in the vicinity.
Thank you and regards.
Esther Tan
for Quality Service Manager
Singapore Police Force
Don't forget, the email address to send your complaints to formally is:
SPF_Customer_Relations_Branch@spf.gov.sg

Have you ordered your bins yet?
Some of you have contacted Mr Soh of the Town Council to order your bins, and some have not.
We are told that notices will be sent out soon to remind folks.
A gentle reminder to do so if you have not, to order your bin - and they should be placed at the back lane.
________________________
To discourage residents from dumping their refuse at 5 foot way and shop front, we have worked closely with NEA and ceased putting bins at 5 foot way and shop front. 3 summons were issued by NEA to residents for not disposing their refuse into bins being provided at back lane.
To encourage eating outlets to co-operate with us, new bins will be provided by public waste collector this week to the eating establishemnts in Pre-war estate. To prevent infestation of pest, shop tenants are required to cart their trade refuse in the bin to the bin centre opposite Blk 75 Tiong Poh Road daily.
For residential units, we will respond to any request for provison of bin for disposal of domestic refuse. The bin must be placed at the back lane of their units. Please ask them to contact Eric Soh at 64119418.

DENGUE ALERT!
Dear Neighbours,
if you do not already know, there has been an outbreak of Dengue Fever cases in our neighbourhood.
You can monitor the situation at the following website - DENGUE - http://www.dengue.gov.sg/ - makes it look almost like Dengue is part of our govt departments.... (bad joke).
But jokes aside, do remember the simple tips -
DO NOT have stagnant water around the house that can become breeding ground for the mozzies.
CHANGE water in your vases every 2 days - and...
.jpg)
While the local doctor has advised that the dengue carrying mosquito has a flying range of up to 1km, we should still make sure that our own backyards and frontyards are clean.
Dengue is avoidable if we all play our part in looking after the housekeeping of our neighbourhood.
If you do see places where there are blocked drains or suspicious neglected sites where water may be gathering and mozzies breeding, do call the NEA Hotline at 1800-333-7777.
Take care now everyone!

Bins Bins Bins - Part 2
And we have here, feedback from a concerned resident for all to consider - who wants better recycling facilities? Thanks to Jason, for taking time to share!
Dear Fellow Residents & Town Council,
With the recent repainting & sprucing of our neighbourhood Tiong Bahru is taking Shape as an interesting Conservation Town. To those who has contributed in this effort, I Thank You personally for organising the rubbish for a start!!. But I have noticed the bins available are really too small & insufficient to cater to the mass amount of rubbish thrown out by the TB residents. Take Block 55 & 56 Eng Hoon St as an example , I have just thrown my daily bag of rubbish this morning at the back alley of 55 & 56 but have also seen piles of gypsum ceiling boards lying around but the 2 rubbish cart was no where to be seen.(assume to be towed to the dump sites for dumping)
We will first have to tackle contractors rubbish which should not be dump at these sites as they will easily fill up the rubbish carts. The problem is also the carts are located at a public areas which makes monitoring undue rubbish dumping difficult. There must be assigned locations with strategic public view to prevent illegal dumping for such purpose and signs that warn about illegal dumping to prevent illegal dumping like those in HDBs areas.
The mere “insufficient and undersize bins” will already contribute to reasons residents rubbish get left behind on convenient locations not meant for rubbish dumping .I am for the idea of recycling and the 3 tiny bins located at the hawkers centre ground floor entrance certainly is not a reflection of the town council strong support in this area. I have made several attempts to deposit plastic bottles and found the bins full or too small to put in Detergent bottles.They ended up on the floor nearby or crowding the bins areas.
We should make conscious effort in making recycling an easy task for resident wanting to participate to this worthy cause by incorporating such bins at convenient Public locations with Large bins and equally large depositing holes to cater to this effort with convenience.
Lets work together to make Tiong Bahru a better place to call “HOME”
Thank You & Regards,
Jason Choo

BINS BINS BINS!
Some of you would have noticed the issue with the reorganisation of the bins in the neighbourhood. Here is the update from the Town Council:
To discourage residents from dumping their refuse at 5 foot way and shop front, we have worked closely with NEA and ceased putting bins at 5 foot way and shop front. 3 summons were issued by NEA to residents for not disposing their refuse into bins being provided at back lane.
To encourage eating outlets to co-operate with us, new bins will be provided by public waste collector this week to the eating establishemnts in Pre-war estate.

For residential units, we will respond to any request for provison of bin for disposal of domestic refuse. The bin must be placed at the back lane of their units. Please contact Eric Soh of the Town Council at 64119418 if you need a bin of your own.
Lets all cooperate to make the estate a cleaner and more hygienic place for all of us! Please inform your help, your family, your tenants, about the new arrangement.
And there is nothing like social pressure - it would be good and right if you were to politely remind people you see, who are still leaving the rubbish bags, along the backlanes, that it is not the right thing to do. :)

The painting so far
On a more positive note, the hard working folks of the Tanjong Pagar Town Council have continued with the repainting work in the estate.
These pictures of the before and after shows the difference a paint coat makes. Its all much brighter and fresher! Who knows, we may all even save some electricity bills from not having to turn on the lights in the day time because we can now 'borrow' the light reflected off the walls.
Glad to know that our Tanjong Pagar Town Council is one that has been open to engaging interested residents even before the recent comments by SM Goh on the gap between Town Councils and their constituents. Kudos to Mr Loy and Mr Soh for their hard work!
And Kudos too to those residents who live here, and those are not living here, but who care about this neighbourhood, for getting together to contribute positively to the neighbourhood's future!

Hotel 81 in Tiong Bahru hasn't got a licence yet
WE REFER to the letter, 'Don't tarnish image' (June 13). We thank the residents of Tiong Bahru for their feedback.
On the feedback that the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has allowed Hotel81 to operate in close proximity to the Tiong Bahru residential area, we would like to clarify that no licence has been issued for the hotel to start operations in Tiong Bahru. Before they begin operations, hotel developments must be licensed by the Hotels Licensing Board (HLB), and applications to the board are required to comply with the requirements of the relevant government agencies.
A licence will be issued only if the application meets all requirements stipulated in the Hotels Act. However, HLB can also revoke the licence if there is any deviation from the hotel licensing conditions, such as evidence of vice activity in the hotel.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) had granted approval for a hotel use at 1-9 Eng Hoon Street, as it is located in a mixed-use area where there are existing hotel developments in the vicinity.
With regard to the heritage value of Tiong Bahru, URA is mindful of maintaining the unique charm of the area. In fact, this was the reason why URA decided to conserve the flats at Tiong Bahru. Regarding the concern on illegal operations of workers' dormitories, URA has already served Enforcement Notices on the persons responsible for converting the residential premises in Tiong Bahru to unauthorised workers' dormitories. If the unauthorised use does not cease by the stipulated date, court actions will be taken against the persons responsible for the infringements.
STB and URA believe that the residents' concerns can be addressed through collaboration with law enforcement agencies, and other government bodies to ensure that the Tiong Bahru area retains its distinct charms.

Enforcement on the way!
We just wanted to share what might be the beginning of good news for the neighbourhood - reports have come in from residents that they have seen Govt officers going round on inspections on the suspected (!) overcrowded units and some have heard that letters have been served on the landlords!
So, do keep an eye out on these happenings on the ground - and if you see units that have been cleared out, but later on - REVERTING to overcrowded units that are no longer RESIDENTIAL, but are now WORKERS' DORMITORY, please do send in your observations to the authorities using the email addressess in the blog, so that they can take further action!
Just in case there is ANY CONFUSION as to what is a workers' dormitory - here are the definitions by the Govt:
A workers’ dormitory is defined as premises used primarily as lodging for workers unrelated by blood, marriage or adoption or legal guardianship.
A residential premises shall be deemed to be a workers’ dormitory if the total number of workers staying in the residential premises exceed 8 workers.
The location for proposed workers’ dormitory should also be located away from residential area and areas where the use is likely to cause amenity problems. Workers’ dormitories are not allowed in the Central Area.
Therefore, under this guideline, no flat in Tiong Bahru shall have more than 8 workers each. This is not unreasonable, given that each flat has only one toilet and kitchen, as well as with the lack of air-conditioning, any more would really be less than humane.
By the law, Tiong Bahru SIT Estate is a RESIDENTIAL ESTATE that shall not be put to uses that are not RESIDENTIAL in nature. (Unless they are the ground floor units that have existing government permission for the various kinds of commercial use)

The letter by locals.... and do you know where the units are?
Dear residents and supporters, it is good to know that both the mainstream papers have published the letter from some of the us who are concerned about the direction of the neighbourhood....
Lets keep the cooperation up!
The first thing that we can help ourselves would be to collate the units where we think there is illegal overcrowding of the units and compile them for submission to the authorities for action.
You can send the units you suspect of such overcrowding, to the blog address:
tiongbahruhc@gmail.com
A collated list is better than sending them to the authorities individually. lets have a first list by the end of next week? Looking forward to your contribution!

Don't tarnish image
WE WRITE in response to recent reports regarding the declining quality of life in the conserved Tiong Bahru estate.
Since the gazetting of Tiong Bahru as a conservation site in 2003, committed residents have consistently collaborated with grassroots leaders and the town council to improve its heritage value.
We are deeply distressed that current developments will reverse much of this work, and are dismayed that government agencies have shown a lack of regard for the concerns of the community.
We are extremely concerned that the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has allowed Hotel 81 to operate in close proximity to the Tiong Bahru residential area.
Without prejudice to the hotel, we naturally fear the exposure of our families to potentially negative activities, which may be linked to the availability of hourly- stay rates.
We also do not want the image of our estate tarnished.
We are disappointed with the lack of response from STB when queried by the media, and call on STB to explain immediately.
We similarly call on Hotel 81 to clarify its intentions - to many of us, having this hotel adjacent to residential property is simply not acceptable.
A second concern relates to landlords and agents in the estate who operate illegal workers' dormitories without any thought of the noise, litter and fire hazards.
We request that the Housing Board, Urban Redevelopment Authority, National Environment Agency and Singapore Civil Defence Force respond urgently to enforce the law to eradicate what is a persistent and festering problem.
These issues continue to adversely affect the heritage value of this gazetted conservation estate which should, in fact, receive special attention from policy- makers and enforcement agencies.
The estate has already suffered a loss of heritage - the treasured and historic Bird Corner now relocated to the Link Hotel - due to poorly regulated commercial development and conservation efforts.
As a community, we hope to continue collaborating with both the private and public sectors to maintain the quality of Tiong Bahru estate as a national heritage.
We do not want to see a heritage site - Singapore's first public housing project - irreversibly destroyed.
We welcome urgent engagement by the organisations concerned and are eager to contribute constructively to reach a resolution acceptable to all.

Why am I learning how to blog?
Why am I learning how to blog?
Honestly, it is many thanks to PA for sponsoring a course like this to teach the technophobe in me, to learn how to harness the various tools on the internet, to enable better community outreach and collaboration.
This is really one of the most meaningful examples of community capacity building that I have come across in Singapore!
Anyway, we shall see how to introduce this blog to you folks, and also, how to link up the existing wonderful blogs by others relating to Tiong Bahru, to this blog as well.
I shall also be exploring how to work out a framework for collating and arranging information of various types - housekeeping to heritage to latest happenings, on this blog for all to participate in...
All suggestions welcome....
