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. -

NSS Bird Group Report-Oct 2015
NSS Bird Group Report-Oct 2015 October normally marks the peak passerine migration period for Singapore. Unfortunately it was also the peak time for peatland forest fires in Indonesia resulting in prolonged haze in the region. This is not a rant about our own inconvenience, but before we proceed further, spare a thought for the lost habitat for these migrants that have flown thousands of kilometres to find their wintering ground destroyed. The globally threatened Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher at Bidadari on 3 October The list of migrants that came to our shore this month is a long one. Among the notable ones are the ever popular Black-backed Kingfisher that landed at Bidadari on 6 October. Bidadari, which is widely considered as the best place in Singapore to see migrant forest birds also played host to numerous Brown-chested Jungle Flycatchers. This globally threatened species made its first appearance on 3 October and a few seemed to have made it their wintering ground. The Siberian Blue Robin, another attractive species that occupy the same bushes and ground as the jungle flycatchers also made its first appearance on 5 October. 1 Ferruginous Flycatcher at Bidadari Other notable sightings at Bidadari include the Asian Paradise Flyacatchers that made their first appearance on 2 October, the attractive Ferruginous Flycatcher on 28 October. The short range migrant from Malaysia, the Malaysian Hawk-Cuckoo made an appearance at Bidadari on 15 October. It’s cousin the similar looking Hodgson’s Hawk-Cuckoo came from further north and consequently made its first appearance on 18 October. -

OFFICIAL OPENING of the MARINA BAY CRUISE CENTRE SINGAPORE the 28,000-Square-Metre Terminal Opens Its Doors to the Public with a Night of Festivities and Fireworks!
OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE MARINA BAY CRUISE CENTRE SINGAPORE The 28,000-square-metre terminal opens its doors to the public with a night of festivities and fireworks! Diamond Princess and Voyager of the Seas docked at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore on its official opening on 22 October 2012 Singapore, 22 October 2012 – The Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) at Marina South officially opened today in a ceremony attended by Deputy Prime Minister Mr Teo Chee Hean. The purpose-built 28,000-square-metre terminal, which is operated by SATS-Creuers Cruise Services (SCCS), saw its first ship dock on 26 May this year and is set to welcome more vessels as Singapore cements its status as a regional cruise hub. The Singapore Tourism Board announced in 2011 that SCCS, a joint venture between SATS and Creuers del Port de Barcelona (Creuers), was appointed as the operator for the terminal for a ten- year term, with an option to extend for another five years. The combined experience of SATS – the leading provider of gateway services and food solutions in the region – and Creuers – the largest port operator in Europe – was a large contributing factor to SCCS being selected to take the terminal forward. “The official opening of MBCCS marks a significant development for both the cruise landscape in Singapore and the ASEAN region. Not only does it deliver an enhanced and seamless travel Page 1 of 3 experience for cruise passengers, the terminal also serves to further anchor Singapore’s position as an attractive homeport for cruise lines with its state-of-the-art facilities and proximity to the new Marina Bay precinct and Singapore Changi Airport. -
