OUR KAMPUNG
ADMIRALTY
MODEST IN SCALE, BOLD IN AMBITION
T
he idea of allowing the elderly to lead active and meaningful
lives in a modern kampung setting was mooted more
than four years ago. It was finally realised this year, with
the completion of the award-winning 11-storey Kampung
Admiralty.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong officiated the opening ceremony
of Kampung Admiralty on 12 May at the community plaza of Block
676 Woodlands Drive 71. He was joined by Minister for National
Development and Second Minister for Finance, Mr Lawrence Wong, and
MPs of Sembawang GRC Minister Khaw Boon Wan, Minister Ong Ye
Kung, Mr Amrin Amin and Mr Vikram Nair.
“I am sure that we can live up to the name of Kampung Admiralty by
strengthening the ‘kampung spirit’ where people of all ages interact and
look out for one another. This is a small kampung… modest in scale but
bold in ambition. We will make it succeed, and when it is successful, we
will build more kampungs like these in future HDB estates,” Mr Lee said.
Sustainable features such as rain gardens and bioswales help
treat surface water runoff while greening the landscape. Besides
taking part in gardening at the skyrise Community Farm, seniors
can learn to age in a healthy and safe manner through preventive
healthcare programmes. Kampung Admiralty also houses a
hawker centre, a supermarket, and medical, childcare and senior
centres all under one roof.
Kampung Admiralty resident and father of two, Mr Yu Hua Long,
38, explained that having a hawker centre and childcare centre so
near to home appealed to him. “It is very convenient to live here,”
he said.

A BIG "THANK YOU!"
TO OUR CLEANERS!
Keeping our neighbourhood clean is not an easy task. Our cleaners work hard to ensure that we residents have a
clean estate to go home to.
In line with the “Keep Singapore Clean” campaign in May, we honour some of our cleaners who have shown
exemplary performance in their work and whose contributions extend far beyond their job scopes.
I accidentally threw a plastic bag of medication into the rubbish
chute of my block, mistakenly thinking that it was rubbish. My
daughter quickly called the Town Council for help, and we were
assured by the cleaning supervisor that he will send someone to assist us.
Mr Jahidul came to our rescue within five minutes. He was very helpful
and went out of his way to retrieve the plastic bag from the central refuse
chute for us. I am very grateful to Mr Jahidul for his help. His willingness
to help retrieve my medication, his efficiency and knowledge in his work
and his positive attitude have impressed me and my family very much.
– Mdm Maimon, Admiralty resident
Mr Jahidul Islam
Admiralty Division
Thank you Mr Rahman for coming to clean my
block and the area near my unit. He cleared and
mopped the shared rubbish chute area after I called
in to the Town Council hotline to report about the unbearable
stench coming from there. Thank you once again!
– Zainon Jumadi, Woodlands resident
Mr Rahman Md Arifur
Woodlands Division
I would like to thank Mr Ng for providing good service. Not only
Mr Ng Hai Seng does Mr Ng do his job well, he also takes the effort to mingle with the
Gambas Division residents in the neighbourhood. I can see that residents are always happy to see
him, myself included. Thank you for going the extra mile, uncle.
– Jack Bay, Gambas resident

KEEPING
OUR HOMES
CLEAN TOGETHER!
T
his year’s “Keep Clean, Singapore” islandwide campaign was launched on 29 April at One-North. Minister for Environment
and Water Resources, Mr Masagos Zulkifi, and Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport, also
MP for Sembawang GRC, Mr Khaw Boon Wan, graced the event. The year 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the “Keep
Singapore Clean” campaign, an initiative launched by the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. This event is an annual nationwide
cleaning initiative that serves to remind everyone the importance of keeping our estates clean and recognise the efforts and hard
work of the cleaners who help us to do so.
In Sembawang GRC, MPs gathered with residents for a litter picking exercise at the common areas within the estate. The MPs also
took the opportunity to present awards to our cleaners as a form of appreciation for their continued efforts in keeping our estates
clean. With everyone’s effort, we can continue to keep Sembawang GRC a home clean and comfortable for all!

BUILDING AN
INCLUSIVE AND
HOMELY CANBERRA
T
he elderly are learning new things with a little help from
young IT-savvy volunteers from Canberra Grassroots
Organisation. The “Digital Volunteer” initiative was
launched on 11 March, also this year’s Canberra Day, at
the mini park next to Block 320 Sembawang Close. Speaking at
the carnival, MP Dr Lim Wee Kiak, PBM, said: ”We have a group
of digital volunteers who will coach residents on using IT gadgets
one-to-one in any language they are comfortable in.” Dr Lim was
joined by MPs of Sembawang GRC, Minister Khaw Boon Wan,
Minister Ong Ye Kung and Mr Vikram Nair.
Innovative social projects by students from Sembawang
Secondary School were also showcased. Students came up
with the idea of using posters to encourage residents to return
trays after their meals at hawker centres and food courts.
Another group of students uses posters to encourage visits to
the scenic Sembawang Park. One student, Khairul, explained:
“Our idea is put to put up these posters at HDB blocks, and get
families to bond as they visit these places.”
It was a fun-filled day where residents were entertained by
performances and enjoyed themselves by playing games at
the game booths. Dr Lim Wee Kiak, PBM, also announced that
work on the new community hub, comprising a polyclinic,
hawker centre and sports facilities, will begin in the second
half of this year.

T
he Admiralty Community Sports Club (CSC) Dream Big team
held its annual 5S Challenge to test the stamina, fighting spirit,
teamwork and sportsmanship of its young football players. Held
on 7 April at Woodlands Stadium, the event attracted young
children and their parents who came to support them.
MP for Sembawang GRC (Admiralty), Mr Vikram Nair, graced the
event. There was also a guest appearance of the Young Lions Football
Club and their legendary coach Mr Fandi Ahmad. “Youths need a role
model. It is wonderful to see such strong support for football from the
community, and for our best players to come back and inspire the young
ones,” Mr Nair said.
Mr Fandi Ahmad highlighted the benefits of sports: “When youths take
up sports, it keeps them away from distractions and bad company. They
learn about teamwork, discipline, motivation and sacrifice. With healthy
bodies and minds, they can do better in studies and grow up with better
body coordination.”
One father, Mr Gavin, came to show support for his 10-year-old son
David, who is venturing into contact sports for the first time. “It
toughens him up. He plays in the outdoors, stays in the sun, gets pushed
by other players – he has to deal with it. That’s life,” Gavin said.

CHINGAY
AT YOUR
DOORSTEP
A
balmy Saturday evening dazzled residents with
myriads of lights and music as Sembawang GRC
held its Chingay 2018 float display. Held along
Woodlands Avenue 7, opposite Admiralty MRT
station, this year’s Chingay float display was both fun and
interactive as performers dressed in various ethnic costumes
and took wefies with elated residents.
The event kicked off with dragon and lion dance
performances. MP for Sembawang GRC Minister, Mr Khaw
Boon Wan, said: “This year, we bring the Chingay float
display to your doorstep.” He also gave his Lunar New Year
greetings, which included the cautionary reminder to eat
in moderation, consume less salt and sugar, and exercise
regularly. MPs Minister Ong Ye Kung, Mr Amrin Amin, Mr
Vikram Nair and Dr Lim Wee Kiak, PBM, were also present to
grace the event.
Resident Mr Venkatesam, 43, was overjoyed. “Hosting the
Chingay float display in the neighbourhood was a great
idea. My family doesn’t need to go all the way to Chinatown
to see these beautiful displays,” he commented.
Another resident, Mdm Cassie, 42, brought her family to
enjoy the colourful display. “My children can get up close
and truly appreciate the display,” she said.

5 HISTORICAL SITES IN
SEMBAWANG GRC
Enter Sembawang. Unbeknownst to most, the town is a treasure trove of secrets, from underground bunkers to
colonial houses, just waiting to be unlocked. We explored the area and sussed out Singapore's historical sites for
you to discover.
1. OLD ADMIRALTY HOUSE - STRATEGIC PLANNING SITE DURING WWII
Now a part of Furen International School
compound, Old Admiralty House will transport you
to 1940s Singapore with its colonial houses and
palm trees filling the compound’s expanse.
Old Admiralty House currently houses the school’s
administration building. Built in 1939, the building
was used by the British Armed Forces for strategic
planning during World War II, and was the
residence of several high-ranking Royal Navy and
ANZUK officers after the war.
You can still see colonial influences, from its Arts
and Crafts-style design to the exposed brick roof
and French windows, in its architecture. Walk This was where naval officers spotted
around the campus and you’ll see vestiges of the enemy ships.
past like British-styled lamp posts and a chimney.
Address: 345 Old Nelson Road, Singapore 758692
2. MASJID PETEMPATAN MELAYU SEMBAWANG
Nestled along Jalan Mempurong is the last
kampung-style mosque in Singapore. Built in 1963,
Masjid Petempatan Melayu Sembawang is named
after the Malay Settlement, an area populated by
the Malay community in the 1960s.
You can still feel the homely kampung vibe of the
area, with its gravel path leading to the mosque
and the huge garden at the back, complete with its
own makeshift swing.
Near the entrance stands a tall rubber tree -
the last remaining one from the former rubber
plantation that used to stand here. Residents
believe that a spirit resides in the tree as attempts
to remove the tree had failed, and those who had
attempted to cut it had fallen ill.
Address: 27B Jalan Mempurong, Singapore 759055J U N E 2 01 8 11
BUNKERS
Given our past as a British military stronghold – we were once known as the “Gibraltar of the East” – it is not surprising to see
World War II relics popping up around the island. But Sembawang is special in that a surfeit of bunkers can still be seen around
the area. Although there are probably hundreds buried in this town, here are some bunkers that can be accessed by the public.
3. BOMB SHELTER @ OLD ADMIRALTY HOUSE
Proving that we’ve only scratched the surface
when it comes to uncovering Singapore’s secrets is
the bomb shelter near Old Admiralty House.
The 30m2 shelter was only unearthed in 1990 when
the ground under an excavator collapsed during
landscaping works. Inside, workers discovered a
squatting water closet, light fittings, and a dingy
hall, evidence pointing to the shelter being used by
naval officers working in Old Admiralty House.
But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There has
been speculation that another bomb shelter
remains hidden on the premises, and that there’s
still an undiscovered tunnel that connects the
house to Sembawang Shipyard.
Note: Exercise caution as snakes have been seen here.
Address: 345 Old Nelson Road, Singapore 758692

Parts of Singapore’s past in Sembawang GRC
Despite the developments here, you can still find legacies that shaped Singapore in every
corner of Sembawang. So the next time someone says Singapore has lost its heritage, just
point them to this modern-day kampung.

4 OLD SCHOOL
FOOD PLACES IN SEMBAWANG
Imagine: it’s 20 years from now and you’re heading to the amazing cai fan (economy rice) place you loved as a kid, only to find out that -gasp- the place
has ceased to exist. This scenario is a reality for foodies seeking many family restaurants all over Singapore, and the reason usually boils down to:
1. No one wanting to take over the business
2. Difficulty of sustaining it in the evolving economy
This makes it important for us to continuously support the food places that are trying to keep the flames of their business alive. We have sussed out 4
eateries in the modern-day kampung of Sembawang that have stood the test of time by letting the young ones take over.

3. Chye Lye Fish Head Curry
1 Jalan Legundi, Singapore 759263 | Opening Hours: Tues - Sun: 11AM - 10PM | Closed on Mon
Chye Lye Fish Head Curry had its beginnings as a zi char (cook-
and-fry) restaurant when it was first started in 1967 by the Wong
family. Now, it is mostly known for its fish head curry ($25), a sour
and spicy assam fish stew, which has fans from as far as Japan.
A huge part of its popularity is due to its milder flavour which
makes it perfect for those who can’t handle spiciness. Portions are
also generous - three of us could not even finish one bowl!
As the restaurant is popular amongst Sembawang folks, it is
important to ensure its legacy. Chye Lye is currently being run by
2nd generation Wongs, with the 3rd generation already starting to
help out with the family business.
