PM Lee plants same type of tree on annual planting day as father did in 1963

SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong marked annual Tree Planting Day on Saturday (Nov 20) morning by planting the same type of tree that his father and Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew did back in 1963. A light morning drizzle did not stop PM Lee and his fellow Ang Mo Kio GRC MPs - Mr Darryl David, Mr Gan Thiam Poh and Ms Ng Ling Ling - from picking up shovels to help plant nine mempat trees, which are distinctive for their light pink flowers resembling cherry blossoms. They were joined by Kebun Baru MP Henry Kwek and Yio Chu Kang MP Yip Hon Weng. The event, which was held at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, also shone a spotlight on sustainability initiatives by the Ang Mo Kio Town Council, from upcycled benches to student-led green projects. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event was only attended in person by about 40 people including grassroots advisers and guests. Residents were unable to participate in the event for the second year running but could watch it on a Facebook live stream. The seeds of the yearly tradition were sown on June 16, 1963, when Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Cratoxylum formosum or mempat tree in Farrer Circus. But the first official Tree Planting ...

Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, made Clubhouse popular around the world. Is Clubhouse the ultimate answer to an open social platform? It's hard to say at the moment, but the era of open socialization has arrived. Youth tend to move with anything new. So although Facebook has an absolute advantage in the global social field, Snapchat and Twitter still have room for development.

Tampines town moves to reduce food waste and promote sustainable food production

SINGAPORE - As part of efforts to transform Tampines into an eco-town, an initiative was launched on Saturday (Dec 5) to reduce food waste and promote sustainable food production. Coined Sustainability @ Tampines Park, it includes a vertical vegetable farm along the wall of Block 146 Tampines Aveue 5, where nai bai, lettuce and bayam spinach are grown. In just three to four weeks, the vegetables will be harvested by hand and given to residents in exchange for their food waste. The food waste is fed to black soldier fly larvae, which breaks it down into fertiliser. The fertiliser can be used in the vertical vegetable farm, while the pupae of the black soldier fly can be used as feed for tilapia fish being reared in the Tampines Park pond. Tampines Town Council said it has plans to trial a robotic arm that will harvest the vegetables and move it to a locker where residents can collect their produce. Additionally, Tampines Town Council is experimenting with smart light-emitting diode (LED) lights which brightens when movement is detected in the vicinity and dims otherwise. This can lead to energy savings of up to 80 per cent. Ms Cheng Li Hui, chairman of Tampines Town Council, said: "...

IT glitch prevents Sengkang Town Council from receiving cash for conservancy payments

SINGAPORE - The new Sengkang Town Council (SKTC) has been unable to receive cash payments for service and conservancy charges at its offices, due to a glitch in its IT system. The problem was discovered after the Workers' Party-run SKTC on Wednesday (Oct 28) took over the full management of estates in Sengkang GRC that were previously under two People's Action Party-run town councils. In a statement on Facebook on Wednesday night, SKTC said staff at the town council found at 8am on Wednesday morning that "configurations for the front end collection systems were not in place". As a result, the town council could not take cash payments for S&CC. The problem was not resolved as at 6pm on Wednesday. "During our engagements with the existing IT Vendor for the Town Council Management System (TCMS), we were assured of the functionality of the system. However, the staff of SKTC noted at 8am this morning that configurations for the front end collection systems were not in place," the statement said. It added that SKTC was "working closely with the IT vendor to restore operational functionality of the TCMS as soon as possible". The town council also apologised to residents over the inconveni...
