We’re trying to get confirmation from the town council that the comment was indeed posted by its manager, Mr Goh.

Once we have confirmation, we’ll put it up as a separate post.

Even if now they (TCs) are willing to allow the replanitng (assuming a sort of happy ending), the fact that 21 years of warmth and care not only to the plants but within the community who lives in is not going to be the same. The fact that there will always be people who do not appreciate nature (well, by and large most uncompassionate people falls into this category).

Hopefully those people working in the TC as well as edgy residents do spare a thought on what was been through before making an otherwise unnecessary complain because of some rodents (they too have a right to live in this sick planet earth). Try not to be so dogmatic and exercise more conscience. Considerate, Passion and Kindness certainly will help build a better nation of people with compassion.

On behalf of all fellow senior citizens, hhanks again to Rafiz.

now……how come i didn’t think of that :)

TOC,
what happened to the explanation letter from AMK TC?.
My post #60, was in reply to the letter.

I hope this this will have a happy ending. And thanks for hellping the elderly articulate their sadness and anger.

That zone chairman’s email was apalling. You shld pass on his email to the MPs. They shld be concerned. It is people like him that give the PAP a bad name: not that they smell sweet in the first place.

And you shouldn’t be so gentlemanly by omitting his name in yr posting. People in area ought to know that guy is mini-emperor.

mayb its some cronies from the rc or something..now en bloc fever so hot, they might wanna build a 20th storey shopping centre there on the old garden

did anyone noticed, there is no usage of the words…

“regret /apologise/sorry.”

yet they still turn the arrows n taiji back to u…

so much for self motiativation…basically they are saying now

‘i didnt ask the old ah peks n ah ma to grow plants/herbs,its they kpo,if they wan to grow plants, they must photocopy their ic n submit within 3 working days to us for approval.so if plants remove, its NOT MY BUSINESS…”

i think the monkeys are just missing the point about this whole issue….

Let’s keep going! ……….. vroom!…….vroom!……….

We now wait for Rafiz to comment …………

Seem like a trend:

Old Folks playing cards – REMOVE STONE TABLES AND CHAIRS.

Garden with rodents – REMOVE GARDEN.

did anyone ask who made the phone call?
i have a hunch the call must have came from LBH.

And I thought the MPs are the rats.

“Garden with rodent problem – REMOVE THE GARDEN.”

1)did the relevant town councils staff even go down and investigate?
2)after 22 yrs of no issues then suddenly the TC went bonkers?
3)where was the level of human interaction or communication?
4)i may agree, rules might have not been followed regarding the growing of plants/herd, but shouldnt they have look at the positives it has created?so much for active aging….this just reeks of not practising what u preach.
5) lets look it at another angle, if this have happened at say a upper class bukit timah estate , would the same have happened?

my guess is as good as yours….

the TC is unfortunatley going 2 just sweep this under the carpet, or just some big words to justify the means of action.in myammar, they oppress ppl freedom, in singapore they oppress even your words and also your ability to think..

In Army: dunk first, talk later
In Navy: collide first, talk later
In Banks: mis-sell first, talk later
In CPF Annuity Scheme: Die first, talk later
In Healthcare: mean-testing first, treat later

too many things have been done with regards to the citizen’s voice
it is obvious that little thoughts have been put into it to solve the source of the problems- rodents. Herb gardens are not the cause of rodents, town councils or even HDB should consult pest control expert on how to solve it instead of blindly removing the garden.

i hope more of this can be done to make our society a better place to live in

Thank You for the support!
