Whampoa Drive Residents' Network

Dear residents,

Thank you for your help.

Wishing all our Muslim residents and community partners a heartfelt Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

May this meaningful occasion bring peace to your heart, joy to your home, and precious time with your loved ones. After a month of reflection, patience, and devotion, may Hari Raya be a beautiful celebration filled with blessings, forgiveness, and renewed hope.

It is always meaningful to come together for our annual Habuan Ramadan distribution. It is truly heartening to see community volunteers unite in the spirit of service, distributing porridge and fruits during this blessed period.

This special occasion reminds us of the values that define Ramadan, compassion, generosity, and care for one another.

May this spirit of giving continue to strengthen the bonds within our community.

It has been great pleasure to be part of joyous celebration with our residents in our community.

Happy Chinese New Year to our Whampoa and Jalan Besar family! As we enter the Year of the Horse, it is heartening to see different generations coming together to celebrate. From our seniors keeping festive traditions alive to our youth and children adding to the cheer, this spirit of togetherness makes our community feel like home. It is wonderful to see our neighbourhood buzzing with life as families gather. May your homes be filled with laughter, and may the year ahead bring you great success, happiness, and peace.

The abrupt closure of this student care operator has affected students and parents of several schools, including Hong Wen School at Whampoa-Boon Keng. It has also affected livelihoods of student care teachers.

This is highly irresponsible. I am in touch with Ministry of Education, Singapore as well as the Education Services Union (ESU) , with whom I am an advisor.

First, we must ensure that our students have the continued student care that they need, and parents must have peace of mind. A new operator should be appointed quickly. And it must be an operator of better quality. In the meantime, there must be continued care at no extra cost to parents. MOE has assured me that they are working on this and will have further updates soon.

Second, the affected staff need to be supported, and they also need justice. The ESU will make this a priority. Now is the time for action. If you are an affected staff, please e-mail the Education Services Union at [email protected] now.

A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers from Food For Hope for making this New Year food ration distribution truly meaningful. Your kindness and dedication have brought tangible support to residents in need, and we are proud to stand behind your initiative.
