A father found a metal strip in a lunch set from I Love Taimei at Punggol Waterway. He ordered the food via foodpanda and only noticed the metal strip when he was halfway through his meal. He was shocked that the food handler failed to realise it and was worried about the danger of leaving a metal object in other people's food. He was relieved he did not let his kids eat the bento. The father has since written to the eatery and the National Environment Agency about it.

It seems like the bike rental company has lost patience with their inconsiderate customers, and they will lodge a police report over one of their rental bikes that was left inside a canal at Punggol. Such irresponsible individual needs to be flagged, and police should take necessary actions against these people. This is definitely damaging of property, and if cases of vandalised rental bikes remains unchecked, then there will be more and more of such cases.

The residents have also complained that there are now more mosquitoes in the area, and these mosquitoes could have been responsible for the numerous mosquito bites on their children. This could also mean breeding ground for diseases that the mosquitoes carry, like dengue and zika. The NEA and the Town Council have been alerted to the issue. Both have reportedly said they know of the issue, and is currently working to solve the issue. Was this a bad case of poor design concept, or both NEA and Town Council pushing the issue to each other to solve? Suggestions would be to actually make the drainage in the area better, so that water can be drained away.

A punggol resident woke up one day to find 4 of his prized ornamental arrowana fish dead in the water. When asked what caused their deaths, the resident lamented that it was due to the water supply in Punggol which most likely caused his fishes death.

A rodent infestation is underway at Block 274C and 274B Punggol Place, Punggol Regalia, and a resident is blaming his town council for slacking off on the job. Showing a whole list of poorly maintained surroundings in the neighborhood, the netizen says that the Town Council in his area has not kept up the cleanliness in his estate.

The numbers given were actualy an estimated 11,000 out-of-work PMETs out of 860,000 residents. While if we look at percentages, this only represent 1% of the total residents in the North East, but if we were to look at real numbers, then this is shocking. 11,000 Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians that are jobless. Are there really going to be 11,000 out there available for these out of job PMET? Just why are the numbers that high?

This might be nothing new in Singapore, as there are jams everywhere on the expressways every morning as we head off to work. But today I guess is a bit different. There is a massive accident at TPE near Punggol, where normally the jam is of the slow moving kind. Today, some vehicles are just stuck idling, not moving at all. This lead to many roads in Punggol and Sengkang having bottlenecks, with cars not even able to get on to the expressway. Based on newspaper reports and reports on the radio, there was an accident that led to this massive jam. The accident, which occurred on the Tampines Expressway (TPE) in the direction of Changi Airport after the Lorong Halus exit, occurred at around 6.40am. It involved three cars and two motorcycles, said a police spokesman.

First the rats. Now comes the sinkhole. Singapore is sinking to the ground? Reports have confirmed that there was a sinkhole which is about 30 - 40 cm wide which opened up at a traffic junction in front of Edgefield Secondary School in Punggol. We know that there are lots of digging happenig in Singapore, to build MRT lines, new expressways, even shopping malls and buildings that houses underground carparks. Are these the reason rats have been driven up to the surface? And now, are we even safe anymore? Seeing that a sinkhole can suddenly appear on roads.

The government finally decided that they are going to build 4 new mega child care centres, for kids from 2 months old to 6 years old. The places announced where the mega child care centres are going to be built are at Sengkang, Punggol and Bukit Panjang, areas where there is a high concentration of young families. While we applaud the move to finally have enough child care places for about 2,700 children, this certainly seems a move that was a long time coming. The mega child care centres should have been around the same time the new towns were planned, instead of waiting for too long before deciding to build one. Currently, residents in these new towns will confirm that getting their kids places at child care centres are difficult. Some may even end up being in the waiting list for as long as one year! The government certainly did not plan this right. New towns were built, BTOs were mushrooming everywhere, but the basic amenities such as a child care was lacking.

People can benefit with the indoor sports hall and swimming pool, can use the facilities to play sports and keep fit. But football stadium? Apart from the running track, who else uses this? Football in Singapore not like last time, can draw crowds. So the football stadium likely to remain empty, apart from early morning and evenings where people use the track to run. Maybe some school sports day also held there. But other than that, money wasted on building a football field no one likely going to play in every day, and a stadium no one will come and watch football every week. Why waste money on this? Either do something to increase football popularity in Singapore, or scrap the plan to build a football stadium. A running track will be good enough, no need to spend excessively on taxpayers money.
