After complaints that a playground in Tampines was in an atrocious state was reported online, complaints have again surfaced that a basketball court in the same constituency is in disrepair.

A resident of the area, who wishes to remain anonymous, has informed The Online Citizen (TOC) that the basketball court at block 407, Tampines Street 41, is in very bad condition.

The paint on the ground and the hoop poles, for example, has peeled and seems to have been left this way for some time.

The area is believed to be under the charge of its Member of Parliament, Baey Yam Keng.

Here are some photos of the basketball court:

In the earlier complaint, residents reported that a children’s playground near block 478 was in such a bad state that it posed a danger to children.

“From the pictures, you can see that there are many potholes in the flooring, where some of the foam boards are torn,” a resident named Juston told Redwire website. “These pose a hazard to children who play there since they can trip and fall much more easily.”

MP Baey is reported to hold his monthly forum with residents in the food court just in front of the playground.

Following the complaints, Mr Baey responded on his Facebook page to say that “the town council has already made plans to replace this playground.”

“The tender was called and closed in March,” he said, “The works are expected to be completed by end of this year.”

These are the photos of the playground:

消防立管故障无法救火! 民防部队警告碧山-大巴窑市镇会

大巴窑上月一座组屋发生火灾,民防部队到场后欲救火,却发现消防立管(riser)没水。随后,当局也发出通知书,警告碧山-大巴窑市镇会,市镇会也随之进行纠正。 上月位于大巴窑1A巷的The Peak@Toa Payoh私人组屋第138C座组屋,于凌晨2点55分发生火患,火势吞噬20楼和21楼的两个单位,导致200人紧急逃离现场,三人送院治疗。 事后,有居民向当局投诉,指当天救火的用水量较小,没有使用水量更大的消防立管,而且当局又派人来检查各楼层的立管,因此质疑消防立管是否无法操作,影响救火。 对此,民防部队解释,当天到场后发现立管故障,因此消防人员改使用水管(hose reels),及时将火势扑灭。 当局也在本月4日,向碧山-大巴窑市镇会发出火患危险通知书(Fire Hazard Abatement Notice)。经市镇会纠正后,如今消防立管已可正常操作。民防部队正针对消防立管故障一事进行调查,必要时将对相关人士采取执法行动。 去年武吉巴督火患 …
