New CC in Hougang first to have a hawker centre

Oct 20, 2013

By Goh Chin Lian

His fingers brushing a crystal ball, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong gave the official cue on Saturday to start the building of a community club that will be the first of its kind.

The Ci Yuan Community Club in Hougang Avenue 9 will be the first in Singapore to have a hawker centre.

When completed in 2015, its 40 stalls will operate under a taller-than-normal, two-storey-high ceiling that will ensure a light and airy feel even when every one of the 640 seats is taken.

The 6,000 sq m club will also have a theatre fitted with digital sound equipment from the China company that produced the acoustics for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.


Valuable contribution

"Met the skilled excavator operator who actually dug the first scoop of soil.... Grateful to him and the many more like him who help us to build our CCs, homes, roads and train lines."

We don't need to import 2.3 million foreigners. How many sinkees are overseas to justify such a generous quid pro quo?

Sinkapore now lauds Indian and Chinese expertise. Never dreamt of the day when sinkapore will follow Malaysia. Malaysia needs the Chinese loans, what does sinkapore need that it now worships the Chinese?

If 2.3 million of sinkees are overseas, then the foreign population in sinkee would be 5.3 million!

We need to bring down the foreign population here to 175k. Shanghai has a population of 24 million and has only 175k foreigners!

We have a Penang FT for a Ministar. Do we have a Sinkie for a Msian minister??

back to your quidproquo point, so IF there are indeed 2.3m sinkiees overseas, then should we accept 2.3m foreigners?
