SINGAPORE - Holding the lift door open for other users, keeping corridors clean and tidy and sharing of food were among some of the neighbourly acts featured in video submissions for a challenge launc
hed by the Housing Board in April.
Minister for National Development Desmond Lee, who officiated the launch at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh, said the heartlands were integral in fostering strong and cohesive communities. Among the winning projects is Good Neighbours Great Sharing, which transformed the rooftop garden of Kampung Admiralty, a housing complex in Woodlands, to a community garden space by planting passion fruit vines on the steel pillars. This initiative was led by resident Doris Yuen, 63.
The project team also organised workshops for residents on growing vegetables, such as bell peppers and chilli, in pots. Students from West Spring Primary were commended for organising virtual cooking sessions for residents and seniors.
