Regulars president's message 

Dear Members 

I would like to thank all of you for your support at the 

Grand Opening of the new Lobby Lounge, Crossroads 

Lounge and The Hangout on 23 February 2013. It was 

a successful event and I am happy to say that we have 

received positive response from members on our new 

facilities, especially our lobby. 

Since early February, we have also relaxed our dress 

code policy on weekends and public holidays for 

Crossroads Lounge, Garden Grill, Darts Lounge and 

Karaoke Lounge and KTV Rooms. This is following 

feedback from members that they prefer more 

casual attire when they patronize the Club with their 

families on weekends and public holidays. However, 

to maintain a certain degree of decorum, sandals 

and slippers are still not permitted in these outlets on 

weekends. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to highlight 

to members that the Crossroads Lounge is a different 

concept from the previous Sports Bar. The Crossroads 

Lounge’s concept was conceived based on members’ 

feedback to have a more conducive place to drink 

and chill out with friends and business associates. As 

such, the ambience, décor and the smart attire dress 

code policy (for weekdays) reflect this new concept. 

The Hangout, on the other hand is a more casual place 

with activities especially catered to the youngsters. 

To whet your taste buds, we will be changing the 

menu for the Atrium Café, Coffee Deli and bar outlets 

from 8 April 2013. You can look forward to more 

variety in our upcoming menu. 

Lastly, I would like to ask for your support to 

participate in our Member Satisfaction Survey 2013 

which you will be receiving with your upcoming 

statement of account. There will be extra incentives for 

those who complete the survey online. 

See you at the Club soon! 

Yours Sincerely 

Anthony lim 

President 

A couple of months ago, I shared with you our plan 

to install more CCTV cameras to enhance the Club’s 

security and surveillance efforts. This project has 

finally been completed. We have also recently created 

zebra crossings in our car park and will be installing 

more bicycle parking kiosks to cater to the growing 

demand among the cyclists. 

On 3 February 2013, we invited guests from the 

Aquatic Master Swim Club and Keppel Club to our 

Invitational Swim Meet. It was an eventful day, with 

a stunning 21 new records set. I would like to thank 

everyone who participated and supported the event. 

We recently had our Open House on 9 March 2013 

to showcase our new facilities. Our guests were 

impressed with our new facilities and some signed up 

for our membership as well.

Regulars behind the scenes 

Behind The Scenes 

Have you ever wondered what our staff members do behind the scenes? Find out more from 

this column where we will feature a staff member from a different department every issue. 

We spent a day with Membership Services Assistant, Hafizah, to find out what she does 

during a typical day at work. 

forms and the suggestion book for distribution to 

staff for their attention. Throughout the day, I will be 

taking Mahjong room bookings, transferring calls 

to various departments and outlets and answering 

enquiries. Also, I will issue receipts to members who 

come to the counter to make payments. 

“My job includes managing all enquiries (phone, 

walk-ins), sorting and distributing of mail, 

collection of payment from members and guests, 

managing membership services such as IU number 

registration, loan of newspapers, magazines and 

board games and facilities booking. 

My typical day at work begins with picking up 

newspapers from the Guard House, stamping them 

and distributing them to the respective outlets. Then 

I will prepare the counter for the daily operation 

which includes cleaning the counter to ensure 

that it is clean and tidy, checking emails and our 

communication book to see if there are any matters 

that require follow-up, then I will scan the feedback 

The most challenging part of my job is handling 

unhappy members, especially when members 

exceed their credit limit. When handling such 

matters, I have to be very patient and try 

to understand their situation. Sometimes, 

members might have overlooked their bill payment 

or did not realize that they have exceeded their 

spending limit. In a situation like this, I will advise 

them that payment for the outstanding amount has 

to be made before any transaction can go through. 

If the member is still unhappy, I will seek advice 

from my supervisor. 

The most enjoyable part of my job is interacting 

with young members who usually come to the Main 

Reception for colouring materials. I love the laughter 

of children and putting smiles on their faces.” 

Did you know we have the following services 

at the Main Reception? 

• Portable universal charger for mobile phones 

• Wheelchair for loan 

• Umbrellas for loan 

• Xbox and Wii games and controllers for The Hangout 

• Board games, colouring materials and story books 

• Deposit of wet umbrellas 

• Books for loan 

If you would require any of the above mentioned items or services, do approach the Main Reception for 

enquiries.

Regulars In service the spotlight excellence 

In The Spotlight 

In this column, we would like to highlight and share with you some of the current issues and developments 

in the Club. If you have any feedback to share, email us at feedback@sgcc.com.sg. 

Dress code and decorum in 

the Club 

We are back on the topic of dress 

code and decorum again. The 

good news is that we have relaxed 

the dress code policy on weekends 

and public holidays for the following 

outlets: Crossroads Lounge, Garden 

Grill, Karaoke Lounge and Rooms 

and Darts Lounge. Casual attire 

is now allowed for these outlets 

on weekends but slippers and 

sandals are still not permitted. 

For more details, please refer to 

Clause 9 of the latest Club Bye-laws 

on our website. 

We have observed that some young members enter 

The Hangout, clad in swimwear or walk in barefooted. 

Swimwear must be confined to the swimming pool 

area and adjoining outdoor areas only and walking 

barefooted into the air-conditioned areas is not in line 

with our dress code policy. 

On several occasions, we have found kids jumping 

onto the new sofas at the Main Lobby. We urge 

parents to supervise their kids closely as we want 

to ensure that the lobby is kept nice and tidy for 

everyone’s enjoyment. 

Pool Table and X-box 

at The Hangout 

Some members have 

given feedback that the 

coins get stuck in the coinoperated 

pool table. In many instances, this problem 

can be easily resolved by using more strength to 

push the coins in. However, if the problem persists, 

kindly report to the staff at the Main Reception or 

Crossroads Lounge. 

When using the X-box, please note that the sensor 

covers a specific area of movement and moving out 

of this area results in the players’ movements not 

being properly detected. We have placed instructions 

in The Hangout on how to use the X-box. 

Screening of TV 

channels 

We would like to 

inform members 

that the televisions 

at the Main Lobby 

and Darts Lounge 

only screen sports 

channels. If you 

would like to view 

other channels, you 

may proceed to the Coffee Deli. However, we hope 

that members be considerate to other members 

should they want to change the channel to their 

preferred one. 

Pool Etiquette 

We have observed 

that parents 

sometimes feed their 

children while they 

are in the swimming 

pool resulting in 

food falling into the 

pool. Not only is this 

unhygienic, but will 

also cause the pool 

filter to work harder 

to clean the pool. Some children also use cutlery 

from the Coffee Deli as “toys” in the pool. Forks 

and knives are very sharp and can cause injury to 

children if left in the pool. Some kids have been 

spotted filling up the plastic covers for wet umbrellas 

to make “water bombs”. The plastic covers are 

meant strictly for wet umbrellas only. We urge 

parents to educate kids on the proper behaviour 

and supervise them closely while using the pool 

facilities. 

Bringing Pets into the Club 

We have spotted on some 

occasions members bringing in 

pets (dogs, parrots etc.) into the 

Club. Please be reminded that 

pets are not allowed in the Club 

(as per Bye-Law 7.3).

Regulars moments service excellence 

of excellence 

MOMENTS OF EXCELLENCE 

I am writing to express my thanks to Adrian Chew 

and team, in particular Joe Marie Cabagua and Aaron 

(part-timer) for making my MBA Celebration Party 

on 8 December 2012 a memorable one. Chef Simon 

was also patient even though my guests came later 

than expected. The food was more than ample. As a 

result, many of us helped ourselves to many rounds. 

What was even more memorable was the service 

provided by Joe and Aaron, ensuring that all of us 

were served well. Both Joe and Aaron were extremely 

patient with us, and continued to give their best, 

despite a long day. 

Indeed, I am pleased to say that the service in the 

Club has improved by leaps and bounds. Please 

continue to keep up the good work and make this 

Club one that members are proud of, and always 

willing to invite their guests for any occasion, 

because they can be confident that their guests will 

be delighted with the best service possible. 

Please express my gratitude to Joe and Aaron 

again. They have worked really hard, and do deserve 

a pat on the back. 

Keep it up, SGCC!

Gayle Wong

Special Cycling 

Sheltered bicycle kiosk near Gym at Palm Wing 

Bicycle kiosk beside Security Manager’s office 

Zebra crossing from Car Park B to main club house 

Cycling is a great way to exercise while enjoying 

the environment around you. Cycling is mainly an 

aerobic activity where your heart, blood vessels and 

lungs get a workout. Cycling is good for the muscles, 

especially for toning and building muscles in the lower 

half of the body, and is a great low-impact mode of 

exercise for those with joint conditions or injuries. If 

you are looking to lose some weight, cycling helps to 

burn a lot of calories, it keeps your weight in check 

and ramps up your metabolism even after the ride is 

over. Cycling is also very cost-effective, not only do 

you save on petrol but also on parking fees. It is also 

great for the environment – it is pollution free and 

helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

When cycling, be sure to keep a look out for motorists 

and pedestrians. As a rule, it is best to ride in the 

direction of traffic, staying as far to the left but making 

sure there is room to handle emergencies and that 

you do not ride so close to the left that you run the 

risk of hitting the curb. Make sure you are aware of 

your surroundings, know what is behind you and 

watch out for what is in front of you. Also, make your 

presence felt by wearing bright coloured clothing. 

If you live around the vicinity of the Club, you may 

consider cycling instead of driving to the Club. We 

have bicycle parking kiosks located near the Security 

Manager’s office (main gate) and sheltered ones 

near the Gym at Palm Wing. We will be installing 

more bicycle parking kiosks near the Gym area soon. 

We would like to remind cyclists who park near the 

Security Manager’s office to exit the Club via the 

Heliconia Wing instead of the main gate so that you 

do not go against the flow of the traffic. 

On the topic of safety, we have recently created some 

zebra crossings near the main gate for pedestrians, 

especially those who are shuttling between the Main 

Clubhouse and Heliconia Wing. Motorists, please take 

extra caution when driving within the Club by reducing 

your speed and giving way to pedestrians.

Indulge in the street food of Penang this May at the Club! A team of well-known 

Penang hawkers will be dishing out delicious and authentic Penang street 

food. This buffet is also a good choice for you to pamper your mother during 

Mother’s Day. The regular a la carte menu will not be available at Atrium Café and 

Coffee Deli from 6pm onwards. Only the above buffet is available and advanced 

reservation is advised. 

Here are some of the 

dishes offered during 

this Penang food fair: 

Penang Fried Kway Teow 

Fried Kway Teow is Penang’s 

most popular hawker dish, 

fried with noodles, cockles, 

prawns and eggs. Each plate is 

individually fried upon ordering to 

maintain its taste and quality. 

Oh Chien (Fried Oyster 

Omelette) 

Fried Oh Chien is a favourite 

hawker food in Penang. It consists 

of rice flour batter, chives, egg and 

oysters, fried in a flat griddle over 

high heat. 

Penang Hokkien Mee 

(Prawn Noodle Soup) 

Arguably Penang’s most favoured 

dish, Hokkien Mee is a bowl of 

noodle soup consisting of yellow 

noodles, prawns, sliced pork, 

kangkong, bean sprouts and 

hard-boiled eggs served with 

generous amount of broth and 

topped with crispy deep-fried 

pork lard. 

Char Mui (Fried Porridge) 

This is one ‘unique’ dish which is 

difficult to find, even in Penang. 

This dish is made up of prawns, 

meat, dried cuttlefish, porridge 

and other ingredients. The mixture 

is stir-fried until thickened, before 

adding lots of chives (Ku Chai). 

Char Hum (Fried Cockles) 

The cockles are fried with 

a special sweet sauce from 

Penang. The sauce blends well 

with the fresh cockles to bring out 

its flavour.

For enquiries, contact Henry Kee at 6398 5309 / 9270 2639

Nasi Lemak 

A dish that requires little 

introduction, Nasi Lemak is one of 

Malaysia’s famous national dishes. 

This simple serving of coconut 

rice is topped with sambal, fried 

peanuts and ikan bilis, sliced 

cucumber and a wedge of hard 

boiled egg. 

Bak Kut Teh 

Bak Kut Teh, loosely translated 

as “meat bone tea” is cooked 

with meaty pork ribs simmered 

in a complex broth of herbs 

and spices. Each mouthful of 

the soup leaves your mouth 

lingering with the aroma from the 

nourishing herbs. 

Assam Laksa 

The main ingredients of this dish 

include shredded fish, finely 

sliced cucumber, onions, red 

chillies, pineapple, lettuce, mint 

and ginger buds, and topped off 

with shrimp paste (Hae Ko). 

Penang Laksa 

This is a coconut-based 

curry soup with ingredients 

like bean curd puffs, fish 

slices, shrimp and cockles. 

Lor Bak (Ngo Hiang) 

Penang is famous for its “Lor 

Bak” (Spiced Meat Roll). This dish 

is served with sliced cucumber, 

chilli sauce and dark brown gravy 

for dipping. 

Chendol 

Chendol is a very delicate and 

fragrant dessert which is served 

with red bean, shaved ice, and 

coconut milk and drizzled with 

palm sugar syrup.

Chinese New Year Lion and Dragon Dance 

11 February 2013 

To usher in the year of the Snake, the Club held its 

annual Lion and Dragon Dance event at the newly 

renovated Main Lobby on the second day of the 

Chinese New Year. An award winning lion dance troupe 

gave a dazzling performance which included drum 

performances and Cai Qing (plucking the greens). 

Club President, Mr Anthony Lim and Vice President, 

Mr Jimmy Ng had the honour of “dotting the eye” of 

the lion, a Chinese tradition of painting the eye of the 

lion before the start of the lion dance to awaken the 

spirit of the lion. Three prosperous-looking Fortune 

Gods (Cai Shen) marched down the stairway from 

Garden Grill and gave members and guests a 

surprise. The three Fortune Gods then presented 

three lucky items which symbolises, prosperity, luck 

and fortune to Trustees Mr Michael Khor, Mr Hendrick 

Koh and Mr Anthony Tan. 

After the performances, attendees waited patiently in 

line to receive their ang pows and oranges from the 

General Committee members and Trustees.
