MP’s Message 

My Dear Moulmein Residents 

It is heartening that Singapore’s 

economy has rebounded strongly. 

In the first half of this year, the 

economy grew by an impressive 

18% over the equivalent period 

of 2009. Our strong economic 

performance has translated into 

more job opportunities and better 

wage prospects for Singaporeans. 

The employers’ contribution to CPF 

will also be increased starting in Sep 

2010. 

So there is cause for celebration. 

Speaking of celebrations, thirteen 

groups, representing many of 

the diverse Indian community in 

Singapore, came together for the 

first time to celebrate the Indian New 

Year at Little India and to showcase 

their diverse culture and cuisine. The 

CCC, Grassroots’ teams and the 

Hindu Endowments Board helped 

organize the joyous festivities. 

This event was well attended by 

Singaporeans and visitors. Such 

events help to enhance community 

b o n d i n g a n d i n t e r - c u l t u r a l 

appreciation. Through such sharing 

and coming together, we grow 

stronger as a multi-racial nation. 

这项活动吸引了不少本地人和访客 

参与. 各种族借此机会加深彼此之 

间的沟通和欣赏对方的文化, 这将 

有助于巩固国家多元种族和谐与和 

睦共处. 我鼓励居民多多主办和参 

与这类活动. 

今年六月和七月,我的选区受到淹水 

的影响. 我们主办了一个对话会. 

大约有一百位居民和公用事业局高 

层官员进行了90分钟的对话. 公用 

事业局官员分享了沟渠改善计划和 

提出一些对屋主和私人住宅管委会 

可採取的方案.他们也很耐心的回答 

居民的询问. 总的来说, 这是个有 

意义的对话会. 

On a more sombre note, several 

areas in our constituency were 

affected by the floods in June 

and July. Recently, one hundred 

of our residents had a 90 minute 

dialogue with senior representatives 

from PUB. PUB shared with us their 

plan to improve drainage and the 

various measures that Management 

Committees and house owners can 

take. They patiently addressed 

many of the issues and questions 

raised by residents. Overall, it was 

useful and beneficial session. 

Finally, even as Singapore’s 

economy continues to grow, I am 

mindful that there are residents who 

still require some level of community 

support. Hence, if you or anyone 

you know requires assistance, please 

do not hesitate to contact me 

through the Moulmein website at 

or at my 

weekly Meet-the-People Session 

every Monday night. In the past, we 

had provided short term financial 

aid and meal vouchers to needy 

residents. We can join hands to 

make our constituency an even 

better home for all. 

With best regards 

在我国经济持续增长的同时,我也 

了解到有些居民仍须耍接受某方 

面的社区福利的协助 . 在此我呼 

吁那些须要协助的居民 , 可直接 

通过摩绵網址和我联络 . 網址是 : 

www.moulmein.org.sg. 你也可以 

在每星期一接见民众处和我详谈. 

我们一路耒有为须要帮助的居民提 

供短期财务协助和食物固本. 希望 

我们大家齐心协力把选区打造成更 

美好的家园. 

在此我祝大家身体安康!

Para penduduk Moulmein yang dihormati 

Ini menggembirakan bahawa ekonomi Singapura 

telah kembali pulih dengan kuat. Pada tahun 

semester pertama tahun ini, ekonomi tumbuh 18% 

membanggakan selama tempoh yang sama dengan 

tahun 2009. Prestasi ekonomi yang kuat telah 

memberi kesempatan kerja dan propek yang lebih 

baik untuk rakyat Singapura. Sumbangan Pengusaha 

untuk CPF juga akan meningkat mulai Sep 2010. 

Jadi ada alasan untuk berpesta. Bercakap tentang 

berpesta, tiga belas kumpulan, mewakili pelbagai 

masyarakat India di Singapura dating untuk pertama 

kali bagi merayakan Tahun Baru India di Little India 

dan untuk memaparkan pelbagai budaya dan 

masakan. CCC, pasukan Akar Umbi dan Dewan 

Wakaf Hindu telah membantu mengatur pesta 

gembira ini. 

Acara ini juga dihadiri oleh penduduk Singapura 

dan pengunjung. Acara sedemikian membantu 

meningkatkan tali silaturahim antara budaya dan 

meningkatkan penghargaan dan ikatan antarabudaya. 

Pada nota yang lebih utama, beberapa daerah di 

kawasan undi kami menghadapi banjir pada bulan 

Jun dan Julai. Baru-baru ini, seratus orang penduduk 

kami mengadakan dialog selama 90 minit dengan 

wakil senior dari PUB. PUB berkongsi dengan kami 

rencana mereka untuk memperbaiki saluran air dan 

juga pelbagai tindakan Pengurusan Jawatankuasa 

dan pemilik rumah boleh mengambil. Mereka begitu 

sabar dengan pelbagai banyak masalah dan 

pertanyaan yang diajukan oleh penduduk. Secara 

keseluruhan, sesi ini sangat berguna dan bermanfaat. 

Akhirnya walaupun ekonomi Singapura terus tumbuh, 

saya menyedari bahawa ada penduduk yang masih 

memerlukan beberapa tahap sokongan masyarakat. 

Oleh kerana itu, jika anda atau siapa pum yang 

anda tahu memerlukan bantuan, jangan ragu 

untuk menghubungi saya melalui website Moulmein 

di www.moulmein.org.sg atau mingguan Sesi saya 

Meet-the People setiap hari Isnin malam. Di masa lalu, 

kami telah memberikan bantuan kewangan jangka 

pendek dan voucher makan untuk warga miskin. Kita 

bisa berganding tangan untuk membuat kawasan 

pilihan raya kata sebuah kawasan yang lebih baik 

untuk semua. 

Salam Mesra 

Selamat sejahtera,

Indian New Year 

Celebrations in Little India 

Hundreds of Moulmein residents and grassroot leaders joined MM Lee 

Kuan Yew and the Indian community in celebrating the Indian New Year 

on 17th April 2010. The inaugural New Year Celebration was organised 

by the Hindu Endowments Board, Little India Shopkeepers’ and Heritage 

Association and Moulmein CCC with participation from the following 12 

organisations representing various Indian ethnic groups in Singapore: 

Bengali Association of Singapore 

Karnataka Vaibhava 

Maharasthtra Mandal (Singapore) 

Singai Tamil Sangam 

Singapore Ceylon Tamil’s Association 

Singapore Gujarati Society 

Singapore Khalsa Association 

Singapore Malayalee Association 

Singapore Sindhi Association 

Tamil Language and Cultural Society 

Tamils Representative Council 

The Singapore Telugu Cultural Society 

It was a joyous occasion as the different ethnic groups came together in 

celebration to showcase their unique traditions, music, dance and cuisine. 

The two-day celebration brought many visitors to the Serangoon Road 

Celebration venue to see an exhibition complete with a replica of an 

Indian Village, food stalls with cuisine unique to each Indian sub-group 

and stunning cultural performances. 

The highlight of the celebration was the visit by MM Lee and other 

Members of Parliament from Tanjong Pagar GRC - RADM (NS) Lui Tuck 

Yew, Assoc. Prof. Koo Tsai Kee, Ms. Indranee Rajah, Mr. Baey Yam Keng 

and Mr. Sam Tan Chin Siong. 

MM Lee and his fellow MPs also commemorated the completion of ‘The 

New Look’ Tekka Centre which recently had a $10.4 million facelift and 

later attended a commissioning ceremony for the new ‘bubble lifts’ at 

Blocks 661 to 664, Buffalo Road.

Moulmein Cheer-the-Flame 

The Youth Olympic Games touched 

down in Moulmein Constituency 

on the morning of Friday 13th 

August, with the Torch Relay passing 

through Dunearn Road, Bukit Timah 

Road and Serangoon Road. 

More than two hundred residents 

gathered at Tekka Centre for 

the ‘Cheer-the -Flame’ event 

specially organised by Moulmein 

CCC to support the relay runners 

- in particular our very own torchbearers 

- Mr. Eddy Tan, member 

of Moulmein CCC and Kent Ville 

RC and Mr Eric Tan of Moulmein 

Constituency Sports Club. They had 

the honour of running one leg of the 

relay as the flame passed through 

Serangoon Road. 

Organising Committee members 

were the early-birds as they arrived 

at 7.30 am to set up the registration 

desk and the breakfast and goodiebag 

stations. Very soon, more 

participants streamed in: all decked 

in their bright red ‘Moulmein YOG 

Cheer Team’ tee-shirts. 

H e l m i n g t h e m o r n i n g ’ s 

entertainment programme was Ms 

Rosemary Ang who led the Tanglin 

CC Dance Club danzbuddies in the 

early-morning line dance session - 

the music started and soon the al 

fresco dance floor was a flurry of 

dance activities. 

The time came for the cheer team 

to ‘march on’ down the side-walk 

to the junction of Bukit Timah and 

Serangoon Roads to await the 

arrival of the Torch Relay. 

Suddenly, came two traffic police 

officers on their motor-bikes round 

the corner, and then we heard 

them even before they appeared 

round the bend - with music blaring 

- two open-top buses with YOG 

cheer-teams on board waving at 

us. More buses appeared and the 

crowd cheered and waved their 

pom-poms. 

Everyone was cheering like crazy, 

looking out for our heroes, Eddy 

and Eric. But where were they? 

We saw a girl taking over the torch 

instead. They had decided to make 

a last-minute switch: Eric is now the 

second runner and Eddy the 3rd 

runner and they’ll take over the 

torch further down the road. 

Our congratulations to Eddy Tan and 

Eric Tan for their successful Torch Relay 

runs....we are proud of you. 

We caught up as the second 

runner, Eric Tan took over the 

torch. We just managed to catch 

up with the second and third 

runners and thankfully some of us 

still had the chance to cheer Eric 

and Eddy on as their turns came 

to savor the ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ 

experience of holding a Olympic 

Flame and running in the Youth 

Olympic Games Torch Relay - a 

historic moment indeed !! 


Pek Kio Community Centre 

Building Fund Golf Tournament 

A most successful Fundraising Golf 

Tournament was held at the Orchid 

Country Club on 7th May 2010. The 

event attracted a total of 54 flights

2010 was organized by the Pek Kio 

CC Malay Executive Committee

following categories:

the challenge Trophy. The challenge 

trophy was ultimately won by Pek 

Kio CSC. 

Pek Kio MAEC would like to thank 

all participants for their support. 

We look forward to more residents 

participating in our next year’s 

tournament. 



Tekka RC Paws Party 

It was the Residents’ inaugural dogs 

meet up, on 12 June 2010, “Party 

for the Paws!” All 150 tickets were 

snapped up within 2 weeks of sale. 

The party’s initiative was birthed 

forth by a group of dog lovers within 

the neighbourhood, in the hope of 

bringing excitement to their four 

footed friend. The party was graced 

by Guest of Honour, RADM (NS) Lui 

Tuck Yew, who is also an avid dog 

lover. There were various activities 

like obedience talk, best dressed 

contest, games and lucky draw. 

External vendors like the Pet Lovers 

Centre, Mdm Wong’s Shelter and 

Awesome Pawsome heightened 

the party’s atmosphere as well. 

The Tekka Moulmein RC also took 

the opportunity to bring across 

the message of responsible dog 

ownership in the estate. Poo bags 

were put in the ‘goodie’ bags to 

help reinforce this message. All 

‘goodie’ bags and games prizes 

were sponsored by The Pet Lovers’ 

Centre. The fun filled bag brought 

a smile across every participant’s 

face, a ‘take home’ for everyone. 

To sum up, it was a blasting time of 

Fun, Food and Prizes for all dogs and 

their owners.

Goldhill Gardening Club 

wins Top CIB Award 

Members of Moulmein Goldhill NC 

and its two-year-old Gardening 

Club had a lot to cheer about 

lately – they managed to come up 

tops in the annual ‘Community In 

Bloom’ Competition organized by 

NParks. Goldhill NC competed in 

the ‘Community Gardens in Private 

Housing Estate’ category and they 

won top prize – the Platinum Award! 

For Goldhill Gardening Club 

Chairman, Mr Fred Chong and his 

many hardworking members, it was 

really satisfying to have their hard 

work recognized through such a 

prestigious national competition 

where the prize-giving was one 

of the highlights at the Singapore 

Garden Festival held at Suntec City 

from 15th to 22nd July 2010. 

The Goldhill Gardening Club also 

participated in a big way in this 

year’s Garden Festival – teaming up 

with two other near-by gardening 

groups to vie for the ‘Gardener’s Cup’ competition. The team presented 

a theme garden called the ‘Peranakan Garden’. Their effort won them 

another prize at the Garden Festival. 

The Goldhill Gardening Club is one of several interest groups of the 

Moulmein Goldhill NC. It was started in June 2008 to bring gardening 

enthusiasts together through gardening activities. From the initial 30 

founding members, the club has grown and now has well over a hundred 

members. Together, they helped to transform a 10,000 sq ft plot of empty 

state land in Goldhill Avenue into the beautiful prize-winning community 

garden that it is today. The Goldhill Community Garden continues to attract 

many residents from near and far and is popular with visiting school and 

university groups. 

Besides the Gardening interest group, Goldhill NC also has its very successful 

Line Dance Club which will be celebrating its 11th Anniversary this year. 

The Line Dance Club brings people together for 2 hours of music, dance 

and fellowship every Friday night at Tanglin CC. 

Also meeting at Tanglin CC is Goldhill NC’s ‘Ukulele Band & Sing-along 

Club’ – the 20 band members meet every Friday night from 7 to 9 pm for 

their regular jam session.

Around Our Neighbourhood 

- The Moulmein ‘Bak Kut Teh’ Trial 

The Balestier Road neighbourhood 

in Moulmein Constituency is well 

known for its many good food 

outlets, most of all, for the many 

famous ‘bak kut teh’ restaurants that 

attract discerning diners from near 

and far. The Moulmein News ‘makan 

buddies’ recently went on a tour of 

the Moulmein ‘Bak Kut Teh’ trial to 

try out what’s on offer at each of 

these outlets. 

At the top of the heap must be ‘Ng 

Ah Sio Pork Ribs Eating House’ at 

No. 208 Rangoon Road or often just 

called ‘Rangoon Road Bah Kut Teh’. 

Just recently, the owners of this wellknown 

outlet has decided to give 

the restaurant a face-lift with better 

décor, new lighting and ventilation. 

It also went into a management 

tie-up arrangement with the Jumbo 

Restaurant Group. 

On our recent visit there on a Sunday 

morning – we arrived to find the place 

packed to full capacity. We were 

surprised to see the international mix 

of the customer base - there were 

Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, Thais 

and the odd Caucasian. The staff 

were all so busy rushing around and 

it took some time for us to get a table 

and place our orders. 

When the food came, all were 

forgiven when we dug into a most 

delicious meal of succulent pork ribs, 

very peppery ‘teo-chew’ style bah 

kut teh soup, liver-and-kidney soup, 

and braised preserved vegetable 

and ‘youtiao’. Accompanying the 

pork rib meal with ‘kung fu’ tea 

seems to be a must there. 

We thoroughly enjoyed the meal at 

Ng Ah Sio – definitely one of the Best 

in Singapore. 

Over at Balestier Road, the Moulmein 

‘makan buddies’ went to try out the 

outlet known to have the longest 

queue every night – the ‘Founder 

Rou Go Cha’ at No. 347 Balestier. 

So, on a Friday night the ‘makan 

buddies’ turned up at the restaurant 

to find the usual queue – a short 

one though - as it was 10.00 pm 

and way past its peak hours. We 

finally got into the air-conditioned 

restaurant to find its 20 tables all 

filled with customers and were 

shown to a table by the right-side 

wall – and there’s something about 

the restaurant’s walls. Every inch of 

wall space is covered with colourful 

photographs of owner Mr. Chua 

Chwee Whatt posing with celebrities 

from Singapore and overseas. – a 

testimony to the great popularity the 

outlet enjoys. 

Our order was taken and the food 

came quickly – we had the usual 

pork rib soup, tau kee, preserved 

vegetable and ‘youtaio’. The soup 

was very clear in colour, it tasted 

peppery but without the strong garlic 

smell. It was clean-tasting with just 

a light touch of the pork coming 

through. The ribs were over-sized 

ones, firm but tender – so tender we 

had no problem cleaning them up to 

bare bones. The ‘tau kee’ was good 

– tasty, soft, juicy and easy to eat. 

The preserved vegetables was found 

to be average, nothing great. We 

saw lots of braised pork trotters being 

served at other table – must be good 

too, unfortunately we did not have 

any more stomach room for them. 

All in all, a very good meal in a nice 

cosy setting. Its no wonder why the 

restaurant attracts a long queue 

every night. Its definitely one of the 

best – a hard fight with Ng Ah Sio at 

Rangoon Road 

Besides Founder Rou Go Cha, there 

are 4 other good ‘bah kut teh’ shops 

along Balestier Road – all worth a try 

if you do not wish to wait for service 

at the other two restaurants : 

- ‘333 Bak Kut Teh’ at No. 325 

- ‘S933 Teo Chew Style Bah Kut Teh’ 

at No. 333 

- ‘Balestier Midnight Bak Kut Teh’ at 

No. 365 

- ‘Zhao Shi Bak Kut Teh’ at No. 395.
