SINGAPORE - A new initiative which aims to foster a caring, neighbourly community in Marsiling was launched on Sunday .
The initiative was launched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who was joined by Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC grassroots organisations' advisers Lawrence Wong, Zaqy Mohamad, Ong Teng Koon and Alex Yam at an event at Marsiling Park. The other estates are Jalan Kukoh, Kembangan-Chai Chee and Boon Lay. These locations were chosen as they have a sizeable number of families with children living in rental flats.
Among the other programmes under the initiative is the Marsiling Progress Class, where s40 volunteers, including school teachers from the estate, offer tutoring classes for underprivileged children at Marsiling Community Club every Sunday. The kids are grouped according to their level and learning speed, so that they can learn better within small groups.
