Kallang River to Be Rejuvenated

Kallang River to Be Rejuvenated On 29 March, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) launched a new exhibition titled “A River Runs Through It”. This exhibition is a call for public feedback on a preliminary conceptual plan to improve connectivity along the 14kmlong Kallang River, and to revitalise the areas around it. Minister for National Development and Second Minister for Finance Mr Lawrence Wong officiated at the launch of the exhibition. Potential for Rejuvenation Aerial view of possible enhancements along the Kallang River The Kallang River is Singapore’s longest natural river. Originating from Lower Peirce Reservoir, the river passes through many housing and industrial areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Toa Payoh, Bendemeer, and Kallang Bahru before merging into the Kallang Basin. Some 800,000 people now live within 2km of the Kallang River. Over the next 20 years, there is potential to introduce another 100,000 dwelling units into the area. Waterfront rejuvenation started in the 1980s in Singapore, following the cleanup of both the Singapore River and the Kallang Basin. Over the past 30 years, the government has focused on the Singapore River, Marina Bay, and the Kallang Basin. The time is ripe to begin discussions about the further rejuvenation of the Kallang River. URA also hopes to upgrade underpasses and to build new ones in the area, including one under Sims Avenue that would help connect Kallang MRT station to the Singapore Sports Hub. Pedestrian crossings at Serangoon Road and Bendemeer Road are also expected to be widened to facilitate cycling. The existing CTE crossing could be widened and deepened for a more conducive environment for active mobility Currently, cyclists travelling along the Kallang River face several obstacles, including an 83step climb with their bicycles up a pedestrian overhead bridge across the PanIsland Expressway (PIE) and a 47 step descent on the other side.

So, Your Loved One Is Going to Prison…

so, your loved one is going to prison… Not sure what to do or what happens next? In ‘RISE: A Book for Families of First-time Offenders’, we help you discover: RISE ❥ what happens to your loved one in prison, ❥ how to cope with the feelings you may be experiencing, ❥ how your child might be affected by the imprisonment and what you can do to help, ❥ what to expect when your loved one comes home, and ❥ resources you can turn to. Collaboration between: ReinTEGraTinG THroUGH InsPiraTion, SUPPorT, anD EMPOWerMenT ReinTEGraTinG THroUGH InsPiraTion, SUPPorT, anD EMPOWerMenT FOREWORD I recently spoke at the Family Justice Practice Forum: Family Justice 2020 (on 14 July 2017) on the complexity of family justice, stressing that those who face an important issue for the first time in an unfamiliar environment are likely to be very much distressed by the experience. While speaking of this in reference to family disputes brought to court and its implications on spouses and children, this much is also true for the families of first-time offenders. Very often, the silent and oft overlooked victims of incarceration are loved ones who have witnessed the imprisonment of a family member. Faced with a unique set of challenges, guidance and support is necessary if they are to successfully navigate new and unfamiliar terrain. There already exists a wide variety of information and services available for these families. However, if this is not presented in an accessible and digestible manner it can be perceived as information overload, and if that happens it ends up adding to the families’ sense of loss and confusion.

This very area we are gathered on was once the site of an old shipyard amid the polluted Geylang River, reminiscent of pre-independence Singapore. 2 But through the combined effort of several government ministries and agencies, working in partnership with the private sector, this same spot is very different today. Indeed, it is a far cry from what it was only six years ago. The shoreline has been reclaimed, the water is cleaner and the stretch of riverside beautifully landscaped. The whole Tanjong Rhu area has been transformed into a quality waterfront residential enclave through the dedicated planning and co-ordination of various government departments.
