"This year, Serangoon Division of the Aljunied Constituency Committee (AJCC) celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival at 2 locations, one at Chartwell Drive on the 29th September 2012 and the other on 30th September 2012 at Hwi Yoh Green park in front of Blk 116, Serangoon North Avenue 1.

It was a cool and beautiful night as Member of Parliament (MP) for Aljunied GRC, Ms Sylvia Lim, performed 2 songs with guitarist Desmond Moey. Dancers from 新舞风舞团 and wushu performers from Hua Yi Xuan (School of Martial Arts) also entertained the residents with their impressive dances and agile moves.

It was an evening of “Guess, Guess, Guess” as residents took turns to guess the weight of the mooncakes, flavor of the tea and answers to the numerous lantern riddles hung around the park.

As the evening drew to a close, 5 families participated in the “Peel the Pomelo” competition. The crowd cheered for the participants as they tried their best to peel the pomelos with their bare hands in the shortest possible time to form the Chinese character "月" ('Moon' in Chinese).

Children had a great time too, with the Lantern Procession around the park led by MP Ms Sylvia Lim. 3 children even won prizes with their creative home-designed lanterns as they showed off their prized lanterns on stage, to the applause of the crowd.

It was a great bonding time for neighbours, families and friends, and I am glad to know that residents enjoyed themselves"

Chen Show Mao delivers mobility aids to Paya Lebar residents
By Qiyu Jaslyin


On 6 October 2012, in a joint effort between the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) and volunteers from Paya Lebar Division in Aljunied GRC, various forms of mobility aids were distributed to elderly residents living along Hougang Avenue 3.
Member of Parliament (MP) for Aljunied GRC, Mr Chen Show Mao, together with Aljunied GRC volunteers and staff from the AIC, went door-to-door to present mobility aids such as walking sticks and wheelchairs to qualified residents. Earlier in August, AIC staff and Aljunied GRC volunteers had visited these HDB blocks to explain AIC programs to residents.

This is an initiative under the AIC’s $10 million Senior’s Mobility Fund (SMF), which was established in 2011 with the objective of assisting the elderly in procuring mobility devices at subsidised rates, so as to help them move around their home and in the community.

The residents were all smiles as they received the aids from Mr Chen and were taught by the helpful AIC staff how to use them. Mdm Magomy*, the daughter of two elderly residents who each received a wheelchair said: “Having stayed here for over 40 years, this is the first time I have received such forms of assistance. It really means a lot to me and my elderly parents, who would otherwise be immobile without such walking aids. We are really touched by the help that we are getting.”

Other recipients echoed her sentiments, saying that they had been “hesitant about making trips downstairs for their daily chores or social activities, choosing to stay at home most of the time”. With the mobility aids, they said they now feel “more confident and secure about joining their friends for some social and recreational activities in the neighbourhood”.

Their MP, Mr Chen, commented: “We are very glad to have played our part in this outreach to our needy residents and help them learn about and apply for assistance under the SMF and other AIC programmes. We are heartened by the improvements these have made to their lives. We look forward to continuing our work with the AIC and other agencies so that more residents can benefit from the SMF and other programmes.”

On 6 October 2012, in a joint effort between the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) and volunteers from Paya Lebar Division in Aljunied GRC, various forms of mobility aids were distributed to elderly residents living along Hougang Avenue 3.
Member of Parliament (MP) for Aljunied GRC, Mr Chen Show Mao, together with Aljunied GRC volunteers and staff from the AIC, went door-to-door to present mobility aids such as walking sticks and wheelchairs to qualified residents. Earlier in August, AIC staff and Aljunied GRC volunteers had visited these HDB blocks to explain AIC programs to residents.

This is an initiative under the AIC’s $10 million Senior’s Mobility Fund (SMF), which was established in 2011 with the objective of assisting the elderly in procuring mobility devices at subsidised rates, so as to help them move around their home and in the community.

The residents were all smiles as they received the aids from Mr Chen and were taught by the helpful AIC staff how to use them. Mdm Magomy*, the daughter of two elderly residents who each received a wheelchair said: “Having stayed here for over 40 years, this is the first time I have received such forms of assistance. It really means a lot to me and my elderly parents, who would otherwise be immobile without such walking aids. We are really touched by the help that we are getting.”

Other recipients echoed her sentiments, saying that they had been “hesitant about making trips downstairs for their daily chores or social activities, choosing to stay at home most of the time”. With the mobility aids, they said they now feel “more confident and secure about joining their friends for some social and recreational activities in the neighbourhood”.

Their MP, Mr Chen, commented: “We are very glad to have played our part in this outreach to our needy residents and help them learn about and apply for assistance under the SMF and other AIC programmes. We are heartened by the improvements these have made to their lives. We look forward to continuing our work with the AIC and other agencies so that more residents can benefit from the SMF and other programmes.”
