Date Published: 12 Mar 2013 Speech by Ms Grace Fu, Minister, Prime Date Published: 12 Mar 2013 Speech by Ms Grace Fu, Minister, Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for the Environment and Water Resources & Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, Committee of Supply Debate, 12 Mar 2013 1 Thank you, Mdm Chair. I would like to thank the Members for their questions and suggestions. My Ministry is determined to steadily lift standards of cleanliness and to make Singapore a liveable environment. Last year, we outlined three key objectives –to build an inclusive society, enhance our quality of life, and ensure a sustainable future. We have made progress on these fronts. Enhancing Standards of Cleanliness 2 One key aspect of our living environment is public cleanliness. Er Lee Bee Wah was concerned enough about this to move a Motion in Parliament last year. Many Singaporeans share her call for a cleaner Singapore. I agree with her that we are not as clean as we would like to be. I have heard many said that we are not as clean as before. Members –Mr Lim Biow Chuan and Mr Heng Chee How have also made their comments. I agree and I feel we can certainly do better. All of us should play a part, not just the cleaners. We should not just be a ‘cleaned’ city that depends on our army of cleaners. We want to be a clean city because our people care enough to keep it clean. 3 Dr Faishal and Mr Liang Eng Hwa asked about the progress of the integration of cleaning functions amongst agencies. Since its formation in April last year, the Department of Public Cleanliness (DPC) has taken over the role of taking public feedback on cleaning issues for the Government agencies. It has since received close to 21,000 pieces of feedback as of February 2013. This is an increase of 30% over the year before, about one-third of which were related to areas under the charge of other agencies like Town Councils, NParks, LTA and HDB. The DPC has worked with these agencies to resolve the cases expeditiously, about 62 cases per day, mostly within two working days. 4 DPC has taken over the cleaning functions of areas like footpaths and roads from LTA, JTC and HDB, and will be taking over areas like drains and car parks from PUB and URA this year. The first integrated contract for cleaning of expressways will be called in April this year. Integrated cleaning contracts for cleaning of public areas, including roads, footpaths, drains, vacant lands and parks within a defined area will be awarded from 2014 onwards, and the level of cleanliness of these areas will be tracked by DPC as part of the performance measurement of contracts. 5 We are also transforming the cleaning industry. By improving the productivity and development on standards of the industry, we hope to uplift the jobs of 50,000 resident cleaners that we have. 6 Last November, we introduced the Enhanced Clean Mark Accreditation Scheme (EAS) to encourage cleaning companies to provide better training and employment conditions for their cleaners. To hasten the pace of change, we announced last year that the Government will take the lead as a major cleaning service buyer in engaging only accredited cleaning companies for new contracts with effect from 1 April 2013. And I am happy to hear from Member Mr Lim Biow Chuan that his Town Council has already started doing the same. 7 Since the launch of the enhanced scheme, 55 cleaning companies have submitted their applications. 10 cleaning companies have been accredited. These are early days but we are beginning to see some heartening results for the cleaners. With your permission, Madam, may I display a series of slides on the LED screens? [Hon Members were shown a slide]. 8 This is Mr Rosli bin Abdul Majed. He joined M/s Veolia ES Singapore Industrial Pte Ltd, a recipient of the enhanced Clean Mark Gold Award, as a cleaner in 2007. A father of three, Mr Rosli has been given opportunities to upgrade his skills through Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) modules for Environmental Cleaning. With systematic training, he was promoted to be a team leader after he completed the certified cleansing crew level training. The training and development roadmap has given him steady progress in his job scope and salary. The lives of his family members have improved. I hope to see this example replicated many times so that many more Singaporean cleaners can benefit. 9 Mrs Josephine Teo mentioned yesterday that it was essential to encourage private sector service buyers to come on board. We are very happy to hear that. I am pleased to inform that my Ministry is ready to table a Bill later this year to introduce the mandatory licensing of all cleaning companies in 2014. Mr Zainal Sapari and Minister Lim Swee Say have called for licensing to hasten the pace of change during the Budget debate. This will set the standards that all cleaning companies must meet before they can operate. The key licensing requirements include mandatory training courses and progressive wage model for the cleaners. With better training and employment conditions, our cleaners can look forward to better lives. Fostering Social Graciousness 10 However, an integrated and revamped cleaning industry is only one part of the solution. No matter how productive or hardworking our cleaners are, there will never be enough of them if we think nothing of throwing things out of the window or discarding carpark coupons and cigarette butts from our car when no one is looking. Should we tolerate such inconsiderate behaviour? Should we have harsher penalties for the recalcitrant minority who persistently litter? 11 We need everyone in the community to take personal responsibility and set high standards for our social behaviour. I believe the majority of us want a clean living environment for our families. We are proud to call this place our home and we want to keep it clean for all to enjoy. We feel bad when our home is defaced and dirtied by littering. To keep Singapore clean, and not just a ‘cleaned’ country, we need to harness the energy of the community to first act responsibly; do not litter, and two, to build a strong sense of societal norm. Community Involvement Act Responsibly 12 I would like to show a photo of Facebook page on “A Litter At a Time” [Hon Members were shown a slide]. 13 Ms Elisa Ng and her children have been regularly picking up litter in their neighbourhood in Bishan East. They have also started a Facebook campaign called “A Litter At A Time” to encourage residents to go the extra mile and pick up just one piece of litter a day. This is a great example of an effort on an individual basis. 14 What about on the community basis? There are many groups that are harnessing the strengths and energies of the community to encourage residents to keep their neighbourhood clean. Er Lee Bee Wah has mentioned this HABIT or Hold on And Bin IT or in short “HABIT @ Nee Soon South”. It is an excellent example of how the community come together and Er Lee has earlier described what they do to remind residents to keep the place clean. And another one, “ACTION @ Bedok” initiative. This is a sustained initiative jointly run by the East Coast Town Council, grassroots leaders in Bedok Constituency, NEA and the Public Hygiene Council - another good example of local community effort. Social Norms 15 But many in the wider society also feel strongly enough to want to help us enforce against litter-bugs. NEA has just completed the training of the first batch of 28 volunteers from groups such as the Public Hygiene Council, Waterways Watch Singapore and Singapore Kindness Movement, Singapore Environment Council and Cat Welfare Society. These volunteers will be empowered to act on behalf of NEA to educate litterbugs to pick up their own litter and record offenders’ particulars for enforcement when offenders refuse to do so. 16 To support our anti-littering efforts, the Public Hygiene Council launched the refreshed Keep Singapore Clean Movement, together with the Singapore Kindness Movement, and the Keep Singapore Beautiful Movement. We thank Mr Liang for mentioning this and also paying attention to this important community effort. He asked about the progress of the movement and I am happy to update that it has so far involved close to 15,000 volunteers including students, NGOs volunteers, grassroots leaders and residents who are relentless in their efforts to keep Singapore clean and green. 17 The Public Hygiene Council will soon hold the first Keep Singapore Clean conference in May to engage the public in dialogue and build public support to turn Singapore into a cleaner city. It has been working with the schools, businesses and community organisations to turn community spaces into “Bright Spots”. There are 44 “Bright Spots” so far and I wish the Council the very best in reaching its goal of achieving 100 Bright Spots this year. And I thank Er Lee Bee Wah for mentioning Naval Base School. Indeed, our schools are really energised in keeping our environment clean and we are really encouraged by the enthusiasm that our younger Singaporeans have displayed. Enforcement 18 Despite the many efforts, the number of feedback on littering has been increasing. To more effectively deter littering, we will enhance our enforcement regime to penalise those who defy our littering laws. 19 We will enhance our surveillance and enforcement efforts. Er Dr Lee Bee Wah has asked that we empower all our NEA field officers.

    SPEECH BY DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER TEO CHEE HEAN AND MINISTER IN CHARGE OF THE CIVIL SERVICE PUBLIC SERVICE DIVISION (PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE) COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY 2012 1 MARCH 2012 Preamble 1. Mr Chairman, Sir, I would like to thank the Members for their interest and support in the Public Service. Caring for Our Employees Re-employment 2. This year’s Budget has committed to building a fair and inclusive society, and the Public Service will play its part as a responsible employer. Mr Heng Chee How asked for an update on re-employment in the Public Service. The new Public Service guidelines on re-employment for retiring officers took effect on 1 July 2011, six months ahead of national legislation. 3. Even before 1 July 2011, the Public Service was already re-employing many of its retired officers. In the first half of 2011, 385 officers or 74% of those who retired were re-employed. In the second half of the year after the guidelines took effect, 448 officers or 81% of those who retired were re- employed. This is a 7 percentage point increase. 4. Of the 107 officers who were not re-employed from 1 July to 31 December 2011, 48 did not meet the qualifying criteria such as the minimum performance requirement. 52 chose not to be re-employed. The remaining 7 officers were not re-employed due to reasons such as poor health and lack of suitable positions. 5. Agencies have the flexibility to re-employ officers who did not meet the qualifying criteria. In the second half of 2011, 22 such officers were re- employed as they were assessed to be able to continue contributing to the organisation.

  • Hdb-Heartware-Report.Pdf
    CONTENTS | NEXT PREVIOUS | CONTENTS | NEXT 24 Jul 07 Mr Mah Bow Tan Minister for National Development Dear Minister, In November 2006 you asked me to lead a public consultation exercise to explore how we can better build HDB communities, in response to the challenges of globalisation, changing demographics and increasing expectations among Singaporeans. I launched the Forum on HDB Heartware with a team of Parliamentary colleagues to engage the public on this issue. Our vision was to build a HDB community where residents do not just own their own homes, but also share a collective ownership of the entire community. The Forum has now completed its study after several rounds of discussion with the public, and deliberation with Government agencies. We propose to enrich the character of the HDB Town, enhance the neighbourhood precinct and raise the community involvement of schools. We also feel that it is important to support the family unit within the community, engage residents more and encourage local voluntarism. The Forum is mindful that community building is essentially a ground-up process. Much will depend on the response of residents and the leadership of local institutions such as the grassroots, the schools and the voluntary welfare organisations. Besides policy measures and recommendations relating to facilities and other hardware, the Forum has kick-started a few pilot projects at the local level, and highlighted some existing ones in our Report, with the intention of catalysing similar efforts at community building in other neighbourhoods. The wide-ranging scope of our recommendations is a reflection both of the complexities of community-building and the richness of the public discussions.
