各位居民,

Para Penduduk yang dihormati,Pilih Gaya Hidup Hijau dan Pilih GIRO!

Salam sejahtera. Tahun 2017 semakin ke penghujung. Saya berharap anda dapat meluangkan masa untuk menikmati rehat dan masa berkualiti bersama keluarga.

Majlis Bandaran terus membuat peningkatan untuk Bandar serta pada pengurusannya. Anda tentu dapat melihat kerja-kerja yang telah selesai atau sedang dalam perlaksanaan di kawasan kediaman anda. Butir-butirnya terdapat di muka surat 4 dan 5. Mengenai pengurusan kewangan, sistem sofwe pengurusan Majlis Bandaran yang baru telah dilaksanakan sepenuhnya dan kami juga dalam peringkat akhir proses Semakan KPMG (sila lihat muka surat 15).

Majlis Bandaran sedang melaksanakan kempen “Pilih Gaya Hidup Hijau, Pilih GIRO”. Bagi sesiapa yang masih belum membayar caj Perkhidmatan dan Penyenggaraan melalui GIRO, saya menggalakkan anda untuk mendaftar pada bila-bila masa. Pembayaran melalui Skim Kad Kredit Berulang (RCCS) juga digalakkan. Cara-cara pembayaran ini membantu anda untuk memantau dan membuat pembayaran setiap bulan. Untuk kempen gaya hidup hijau, Majlis Bandaran menyasarkan untuk menjalankan komunikasi kepada anda dengan tepat masanya serta tanpa kertas. Anda boleh mendaftar untuk perkhidmatan tersebut dengan memberikan nombor telefon bimbit atau alamat e-mel anda. Untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai kempen “Pilih Gaya Hidup Hijau, Pilih GIRO” dan cabutan bertuah setiap suku tahun yang anda boleh sertai jika anda mendaftar, sila ke muka surat 6-8. Selamat mencuba!

Bagi pihak Anggota-anggota Parlimen Bandar Aljunied-Hougang iaitu En. Pritam Singh, En. Png Eng Huat, En. Low Thia Khiang, En. Chen Show Mao dan En. Faisal Manap, kami mengucapkan anda Selamat Hari Natal dan Selamat Tahun Baru!

Dear Residents, Go Green and Go GIRO!Warm greetings. As we approach the end of the year, I hope all of us will find time to enjoy some rest and family time. The Town Council continues to make improvements to the Town, and to its management. You would have noticed the works done or in progress where you live, which are also detailed at pages 4 and 5. As for financial management, the new Town Council management software system is fully implemented; we are also at the tail-end of the KPMG Review (please see page 15). The Town Council is mounting a “Go Green, Go GIRO” campaign. For those who are not yet on GIRO for payment of Service and Conservancy Charges, I encourage you to sign up for your own convenience. Payment by Recurring Credit Card Scheme (RCCS) is also encouraged. These payment modes save you the need to track and effect payments each month. As for Go Green, the Town Council aims to make communications with you more timely and paperless; you can sign up for such services by providing a mobile phone number or an email address. For more details on “Go Green, Go GIRO” and the quarterly lucky draw you can participate in if you sign up, please turn to pages 6-8. Good Luck!On behalf of the Members of Parliament of Aljunied-Hougang Town – Mr Pritam Singh, Mr Png Eng Huat, Mr Low Thia Khiang, Mr Chen Show Mao and Mr Faisal Manap, we wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

绿色环保、使用财路转账！

大家好。希望各位居民在这佳节时段能抽空松懈，享受全家团聚的日子。

市镇会一直不断地改善邻里和加强市镇管理。您也许已经注意到所居住的邻区已完成的提升项目，或工程正在进展。至于财务管理，新的市镇会管理系统已完全投入运作；独立审计师KPMG的审查也已到了尾声（请翻到第15篇）。

市镇会正展开“绿色环保、使用财路转账”的运动。使用财路转账（或信用卡定期付款）能让您交付杂费时更为方便，省去追查自己是否已交付杂费的麻烦。因此，我鼓励您尽快申请使用这类服务。至于提倡“绿色环保”，市镇会希望达到无纸张化同时能更快捷与您的通讯的目的。您只需要通过我们的网站提供您的手机号码以及/或电邮,就可以申请这些服务。若想要了解更多关于“绿色环保、使用财务转账”的运动以及每季度的抽奖活动详情，您可翻阅第6-8篇。祝您好运！

我谨此代表阿裕尼-后港市镇的国会议员—毕丹星，方荣发，刘程强，陈硕茂

以及莫哈默费沙祝您圣诞愉快，新年快乐！

9Keep Our Estate Clean

Lift SurveiLLancein hougang DewcourtResidents of Hougang Dewcourt recently saw their blocks equipped

with lift surveillance systems (LSS). The LSS will enhance the security of the estate and be used to monitor against inconsiderate behaviour such as vandalism, littering and other forms of public nuisance.

The Town Council will keep residents updated of LSS installations to other blocks in the Town.

Hougang Dewcourt最近安装了新的电梯监视系统。这个系统会加强邻区的安全，也能遏止没公德心的行为如涂鸦，乱丢垃圾，或其它的公害行为。市镇会在别的邻区增设电梯监视系统时，会先通知居民。

Cyclists can now park at 110 new zones rolled out across our Town at convenient locations. These parking zones provide about 800 more parking spaces for both personal and rental bicycles.

MORE biCyClEPaRkiNg zONEs in our Town

this initiative is part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed among Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, LTA and bicycle-sharing operators in Singapore. Inked in September, bicycle-sharing operators are required to ensure that their bicycles are parked properly and provide third-party insurance covering accidents or damage caused by their bikes.

Just like you, other users deserve to ride on a safe and well-maintained bicycle!

Park at bicycle racks and zones around our Town after reaching your destination.

Abandoning bicycles at public spaces will obstruct others and is unsightly.

“the government’s handling of the parliamentary debates on the legislative changes for a Reserved presidential election has been most unsatisfactory. Here we are, debating changes affecting the highest office in the land, yet the government decides to engage in ambiguous language and red herrings. We in this House should have been told in no uncertain terms that it was the government that wanted to start the count from president Wee. the government should have defended its own decision on why counting from president Wee was appropriate. it should not have evaded the debate by using the AGC’s advice as a distraction, and then gone to court to say that the AGC’s advice was irrelevant!” (3 october 2017)
