SINGAPORE - A night-time "childcare centre" has been operating at a Housing Board flat in Toa Payoh, caring for up to 10 children.

Residents at the block told Shin Min Daily News that parents take their kids to the flat every day after 6pm.

The children are of primary school age, with some five years old, Shin Min reported on Saturday (March 11). Some are reportedly driven there by their parents, while others are dropped off by the school bus.



"The children usually stay there for some hours. Some even spend the night there, and the parents pick them up the next day," said the resident whose name was not given.

Shin Min visited the block and a resident who declined to be named said that the owner of the flat had started renting it out one or two years ago.

"After the tenant moved in, occasionally I'll see a woman taking her kids there."

Another resident who declined to be named told Shin Min that he hears the sound of children running in the unit every night.

He said he previously asked the tenant of the unit about the situation. The tenant reportedly said he let them run to expend their energy.

Other residents said the family was friendly and the children polite.

Shin Min observed that the two shoe racks outside the flat were stacked with shoes and slippers, many of them kid-sized.

When asked by Shin Min, a male tenant at the flat in question denied that he was running a "childcare centre".

He explained: "I'm just helping my friends look after their kids, there are more than 10 of them. I receive some money to help out with family expenses."

The man, who is in his 50s, said that the parents who take their kids there are from China. These parents want to let their children have an environment where they can learn English, and he would speak the language to them.

The man added that he resorted to this as he had been unemployed for six years.

He was previously an art teacher in Hong Kong and Macau, where he lived for more than 10 years.

When he returned to Singapore, he could not find a job.

"I have a son who has attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at home, so I give tuition at home, and help my friends look after their kids, to pay the bills."

He said he was not robbing anyone, and that it was not easy to get a job at his age.

Shin Min checked with the landlord, who said she was unaware of the activities going on and would immediately find out more from the housing agent.

A spokesman for the HDB told The Straits Times yesterday (March 11) that flats are for residential use.

“While residents may use their flats to carry out home-based small scale informal businesses under the Home Based Small Scale Business Scheme, childcare centres are not allowed,” said the spokesman.

The spokesman said HDB had not previously received feedback about childcare services being provided in the flat in question.

"We are investigating the case with the relevant authorities,” said HDB.

He should prostitute the kids for more money since they are already under his custody.

This was what was happenning in nearly every HDB blocks, village, kampung and even government workers quarters 30 years ago. Parents trusted these people in their block who looked after their kids while they went to work in factories, offices and shipyards and it was decent income for the minders who could not find work due to lack of education. Nearly everyone knows someone's mum who looked after kids in those days.

Nowdays you see issues with ill treatment of kids in commercial creches, poor hygiene and expensive.

SINGAPORE - An alleged case of child abuse at a Sparkletots childcare centre in Teck Whye is being investigated,
PAP Community Foundation (PCF) said on Thursday (Feb 16).


A parent had claimed that she found bruises on her 18-month-old toddler's forehead, back and leg...

A six-year-old boy allegedly molested a six-year-old girl in a PCF childcare centre. The parents of the girl are livid.
Rightfully so. They wanted the childcare centre to do something about it. That is understandable.
The mother went on to social media to vent her anger.

As long as the kids are well taken care of, what's the issue? Never pay taxes on the part of the caregiver?

The authorities should ask themselves why in the first place such an arrangement exist? Which Lau Peh Lau Bu wants this? But it is usually the need to make ends meet that drive them to this.

ill treatment only happens in peasants' childcare centers in ghettos and slums and poor hovels,at montessori we are dedicated to the highest standards of care and attention to the delightful children of caucasian expats and high caste shitskins and the occasional elite sinkie who can afford it and wishes their child to mingle with the likes of and ensuring the safe environment and luxurious playgrounds and quality of care in order to nurture them and providing them with the happiest childhood memories.peasant daycare centers are no stranger to abuse as caretakers and teachers are often overworked and exhausted and facilities overcrowded,taking care of ten upwards of twenty children on a measly salary of $$1800 per month.also peasant children are more likely to end up working as taxi drivers and factory workers or mcdonalds so a little abuse is character growth and strength training.

Hi sir, I see nothing wrong with this arrangement if the parents are willing to keep their children there.

if it's temporary, free or quid pro quo, and short term it should be a private arrangement that has been happening since homo sapiens stay in caves. if they turn it into a business, profit from it, evade taxes, oversubscribe or overcrowd, turn place unsafe, inconvenience neighbors, create nuisance, then it's wrong. i have an neh neighbor that profits from turning their private residence into a day care and teaching center. vehicles keep cumming and going, parking all over and dropping and picking up kids at any time of day. worst is during peak hours. can't even get into my own garage as they block driveways and roads. if city finds out will prosecute them for running a day care center without license and from a residence not zoned for such a business.

i thought silicon valley is most notorious for setting up illegal businesses in residential unzoned space,and having hordes of programmers and start ups and illegal immigrants squat in houses or "incubators" for tech startup firms.

those are "garages" that are separate from living quarters, although some coders can be there 24 hours to finish their work. blokes spend days in garages to mod or fix their cars and hobbies. now it's more storage and clutter than anything else. there are shops, warehouse and retail space that have been rented by startups to squeeze bodies in. there are also commercial cum residential properties or shophouses where tenants can live upstairs and work downstairs. and there's shared spaces where startups have their tiny rooms but share lobby, conference rooms and bathrooms with others. but when you have dozens of vehicles blocking roads and driveways and dozens of kids running around all day from vehicles to one house, that's a hazard, accident and disaster waiting to happen.

The PAP PCF downstairs where the caregivers have no kids and hence no vested interest in the upkeep and safety of the childcare center's environment are allowed (HFMD, ill-treatment aplent), while this 50yo uncle with his ADHD kid in his house is considered unlawful. What gives?

Bingo! Case in point, there was a bloke near my place MSCP who did car wash and detailing every weekend and he did a pretty good job as he limited himself a two cars per afternoon. Through word of mouth, his business picked up and every weekend fully booked. The Ah nehs co-existed with him as the nehs only do car wash every weekday and no detailing and interior cleaning, everyone was happy.

Then came one day, TC/HDB guys came and told him he was carrying out business illegally and ordered to stop. From then on, the Ah nehs disappeared and this bloke could no longer earn extra pocket money during his offdays on weekends. Lo and Behold, a week later, a company who is "licensed" by HDB to carry out MSCP car wash appeared and placed banners and distributed flyers everywhere. :P Wouldn't be surprised if this company was started by some RC or PA guy. :s

It boils down, to whom you know ( or another word, suck up to), you pay money to the right 'gods' & if your 'toe bone' is connected to the "whatever bone"...it will take 52 x 2 man years, before....they knock on the door...

The bastard is running a business without the necessary licenses or paying rent. That is unacceptable.
