War breaks out between RC and residents in Toa Payoh

Right? Right for whom? There are clearly conflicting interests in this matter.
As for "leaders", I was convinced last week that that noun should be in the singular "Leader".

I only see the faces of old people in the crowd. The only young faces were those in school uniforms, these kids were obviously there to represent the interest of their schools. The only young person I know that showed his true opinion was Amos & he is facing a court case.
PAP has lost touch with the younger generation of Spore.

Lots of people from the younger generation seen queuing up this Good Friday weekend to see Ah Gong's memorabilia at the National Museum.
[h=1]RC SAYS RESIDENTS' COMPLAINTS ARE WRONG, MOST ARE IN FAVOUR OF NEW RC CENTRE[/h]
Post date:

Following some residents' complaints about the plans for an RC to be built in their community in Toa Payoh, the RC has responded to refute the residents' complaints.
The residents had complained of being bullied by the PA and even the MP was unable to help as clear form his response: HELP! WE ARE BEING BULLIED BY RC AND THE PEOPLE'S ASSOCIATION
Responding to this negative feedback, the RC has come out with a new statement but it looks like they are not interested to listen. Here is their response in full:
Dear Residents,
Please allow us to correct some of the prevailing misconceptions on the RC centre.
1. It is not true that 87% of the residents are against the RC Centre. Based on a door to door survey conducted by RC members in May/June of 2014, more than 80% of responding residents were in favour and gave feedback on the type of activities they would like at the RC centre. We note that the person(s) claiming that 87% of residents were against did not give details of their survey.
2. There will only be one RC centre. However to accommodate some residents’ concerns on safety and security, as well as to ensure sufficient lighting at the void deck of block 139B, the Centre was split into two smaller areas – one at Block 139B and the other at the Key Collection Centre.
3. RC centres are typically up to a floor size of 160sqm. In light of concerns by residents on lighting and security, the RC Centre was reduced to a total size of 77sqm + 72sqm (total of 149sqm).
4. A single location at the Key Collection Centre would not be sufficiently meaningful for the community. It is not big enough to accommodate community activities. This small site was only selected to allow the reduction of the space at Block 139b to accommodate some residents’ feedback.
5. Safety and security concerns have been addressed (which have resulted in a smaller centre at the primary location under 139B). The residents will continue to have their loading bays. All the relevant agencies, including the Fire and Safety Department, have approved the plans.
6. The only objection which has not been addressed is that made by some residents that the RC Centre will devalue their property. However, we note that RC Centres in all HDB precincts are located at void decks. This is no different.
7. The proposed uses for the RC centre include having a playgroup for young children as well as enrichment courses/tuition services for older children in the estate. There are also some ideas to open up one of the locations as a function room for residents to book for private events as an option aside from the Pavilion. The RC is confident that there is an appetite for activities and events for the RC centre by residents.
8. To help residents better visualise the RC Centre at 139b, we attach a 3D model of the revised centre. We have also put up a video that will take you through the lobby of 139b to the centre.

9. We thank residents for their feedback, which has resulted in significant changes to the original plans.
Please direct any further queries on the RC centre or suggestions you may have on types of activities you would like to see at the RC centre to [email protected]
Thank you for your kind attention.

Clearly, residents are not impressed with the response as is evident from the comments on the page:
Do you think residents should be forced to accept the building on an RC in their community even if they have already made it very clear that a majority of residents are against the plans?
