Painting Our Environment Green In an attempt to encourage residents not to litter, Tampines Town Council collaborated with Tampines Kindness Movement to paint kindness murals on the walls near rubbish bins at the void decks of Blks 125 and 286 in Tampines. Mr. Yuen Kum Cheong is the talented artist behind the paintbrush for this visually attractive project. Together with residents, he brought a sense of ownership to an area where trash dumping was initially a problem. Vivid colours were used to bring about a sense of positivity and kindness, encouraging residents to maintain the cleanliness of the area by refraining from depositing bulky trash and items around the trash bin. 04 LED There Be Light Tampines is now brighter as new Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights are being installed at HDB blocks, open spaces and car parks. The exceptional brightness is attributed to LED’s distinct light distribution. Not only does this enhance the safety of our shared spaces, the switch from traditional light sources to LED is an Before LED lights installation After LED lights installation effective means of reducing our carbon footprint. Throughout Tampines, the Town Council has Why are LED lights better? installed new LED lights which have now LED lights last replaced existing public lightings at HDB blocks, 50,000 Hours open spaces and car parks. Fluorescent Lamps only last The lifespan of LED lights surpasses that of 8000 Hours traditional ones by up to six times.

  • 1 Factsheet by Parliament of Singapore the 39Th General
    FACTSHEET BY PARLIAMENT OF SINGAPORE THE 39TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE ASEAN INTER-PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY (AIPA) The Parliament of Singapore is hosting the 39th General Assembly (GA) of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) from 3 to 7 September 2018 at the Raffles City Convention Centre. Over 350 delegates from Member Parliaments and Observer countries (see “Background on AIPA”), will be in attendance. The ASEAN Secretariat and parliamentarians from Morocco and Norway will also be present as guests of the host. 2 The theme for the 39th AIPA GA is “Towards a Resilient and Innovative Community”, which mirrors the theme of Singapore’s Chairmanship of ASEAN – “Resilient and Innovative”. This symbiosis with ASEAN reflects AIPA’s common concerns and vision for the people of our respective countries and our desire to align ourselves closely to the longer-term common goals of ASEAN. 3 As the AIPA President this year, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore, will be presiding over the 39th AIPA GA, including the plenary sessions. Mr Charles Chong, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore, will be leading the Singapore delegation of parliamentarians (see Appendix A). 4 On 4 September 2018, leaders of the AIPA GA delegations paid a call on Mr Tan, during which it was agreed that AIPA has and will continue to play an important role as a conduit between the people of ASEAN nations and ASEAN. 5 As AIPA parliamentarians, Singapore’s delegates will also be chairing and participating in the meetings of six Committees tasked to look into specific matters (see Appendix B).

  • A. Introduction 1 Last Year, We Celebrated SG50 to Reflect on Our
    A. Introduction 1 Last year, we celebrated SG50 to reflect on our achievements over the past 50 years. Even in our early years, Mr Lee Kuan Yew was already clear that we needed to address poor sanitation, clean our dirty streets, and detoxify our polluted Singapore River. His vision was of a clean and green Singapore. It was because of this drive that Singapore became one of the earliest countries in the world to set up a Ministry dedicated to the environment in 1972. Mr Lim Kim San, the first Minister for the Environment summed up our environmental challenges well. He said: “Singapore is getting so urbanised that if we don’t take action now to keep our environment clean, it will be too late.” So he got to work, and he and others who came after, helped to build our City in a Garden that we see today. 2 My Ministry conducted a survey in December last year to better understand Singaporeans’ perceptions of environmental issues.The survey shows that most respondents continue to recognise that it is everyone’s responsibility to deal with the environment and that most view aspects of the environment as important parts of Singapore life. That’s heartening. 3 When asked what were the top environmental challenges in Singapore, respondents identified air pollution, cleanliness of public areas, and vector-borne diseases as the top three, understandably. As you can see, almost three-quarters of the respondents considered air pollution as a top challenge. That is what I will deal with first. B. Clean Air for All Local Air Pollution 4 My Ministry, together with the Ministry of National Development, launched the Sustainable Singapore Blueprint (or SSB) 2015 with a holistic vision of a Liveable and Endearing Home, a Vibrant and Sustainable City, and an Active and Gracious Community.
