Singapore Democratic Party’s (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan will be conducting a Virtual Townhall Meeting this Saturday (24 October) for the residents of Bukit Batok.

Revealing this in a Facebook post on Wednesday (21 October), Dr Chee said that this online meeting will be divided into three segments to discuss issues concerning the people of Bukit Batok, and will include question and answer session for residents to voice any concerns that they have.

“In this first part, I’ll be talking about some of the problems that residents have raised regarding the estate and how the Jurong-Clementi Town Council is dealing with them,” the SDP chief said.

He added, “Second, I’ll tell you what Team SDP has been up to these past few months since the GE and what we have planned for BB in the coming weeks and months”.

As for the last segment of the meeting, Dr Chee said he will be discussing a “topic of national interest that affects you and your loved ones”.

Lastly, he will also open up the floor for people to ask questions and hear their thoughts on what can be done to enhance their life at Bukit Batok.

“I’d like to do this on a quarterly basis as I feel that residents should come together often and be able to discuss matters related to the constituency, the community and the nation. When Covid-19 rules are relaxed, we should meet in-person,” he said.

He continued, “Until then, however, we have to meet virtually. So tune in this Saturday afternoon, grab a cup of coffee and join me for BB’s first ever Townhall Meeting. See you then.”

For those who are interested to join the Virtual Townhall Meeting, all you have to do is send your name, email address and contact number to [email protected] or 8413 0302 (WhatsApp/SMS).

吴仕豪:初步调查显示冯伟衷被后移炮管碾伤

武装部队召开新闻发布会,陆军总长吴仕豪少将告诉媒体,根据武装部队初步调查结果显示,本地艺人冯伟衷是在维修155毫米榴弹自走炮炮管时,被移动的炮管困在炮车内部,并碾压至重伤。 陆军部队也决定,即日起暂停所有高风险军训,武装部队也将全面降低军训密集度,把更多精力放到军训安全上。 吴仕豪少将说,冯伟衷是经训练的军备技术员,负责维修自走炮。事发时,他和另一名技术员和一名炮塔指挥官在场,为炮管故障进行检查。 “为了给炮管进行维修,他们必须把炮管先从高位下降,恢复到待机状态的位置。” 但是在这过程中,位于炮塔内的炮管后端,会往后延伸。冯伟衷相信当时因为来不及逃脱,被往后延伸的炮管卡在车内,严重碾压至重伤。 吴仕豪说,炮管降下后,炮塔内空间减少,但仍有空间给技术人员工作。 吴仕豪也在记者会上展示,从炮塔内观察,正常炮管降下时,炮管后端的往后延伸动作: 吴仕豪说,这是一起不幸事件,在自走炮投入服务15年来,未有类似的严重辗伤事故。 目前,陆军需要完整调查,国防部也会召开独立调查委员会, 以深入调查事故的真正起因。 三军总长王赐吉中将,今午率吴仕豪少将、作战后勤支援指挥部司令陈君有上校、陆军军医长卢宏一上校,和人力司司长李忠伟召开记者会,交代初步调查结果。 作战后勤支援指挥部司令陈君有上校,在针对媒体询问时指出,当炮管要降下,炮塔指挥官需口头预警,也需回头视察炮塔室的情况,才按下降炮管的按钮。…
