Salam sejahtera penduduk Chua Chu Kang, Saya harap anda dan keluarga sentiasa berada dalam keadaan sihat dan selamat. Pada awal tahun 2020 kita dicabar dengan penularan wabak COVID-19 yang cepat menjadi wabak sejagat. Singapura telah mengambil langkah-langkah yang cekap dan pantas untuk menghadkan penularan wabak itu dan dengan itu menjadi lebih terkawal. Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua kerana mengganding tenaga untuk teguh bersatu. Dalam masa-masa sulit beginilah, keteguhan perpaduan dan daya tahan rakyat dan negara terserlah lantas kita dapat saksikan penonjolan budi pekerti yang baik, sikap rela berkorban dan tabah dalam menghadapi cabaran dalam masyarakat. Sifat-sifat beginilah yang akan dapat membawa kita keluar dari krisis wabak ini dan muncul lebih teguh. COVID-19 telah memutuskan rantaian nilai sejagat dan dijangkakan akan mencetus kemorosotan ekonomi yang paling teruk sejak Zaman Meleset. Hubungun dua hala antara Amerkia Syarikat dan Cina pun lebih tidak menentu. Dihadapkan dengan landskap ekonomi yang mencabar ini, kita perlu kekal tangkas, teguh bersatu dan berkerjasama untuk mengharungi cabaran dan tangkas merebut peluang yang muncul. Pemerintah telah membentangkan Belanjawan Perpaduan, Belanjawan Daya Tahan dan Belanjawan Kesepakatan untuk menyokong rakyat Singapura dalam masa yang tidak menentu ini. Tetapi ia adalah lebih penting untuk kita keluar dari zon selesa dan mendakap norma baru dalam dunia pasca-COVID-19. Manfaatkan peluang tersaji dalam inisiatif-inisiatif Skillsfuture, SGUnited Jobs dan SGUnited Traineeships untuk membina kemahiran baharu untuk lebih bersedia demi masa depan. Di tengah-tengah kita keluar dari fasa pemutus lintar COVID-19 dan mengemudi dalam ketidaktentuan ekonomi ini, elok kita juga jaga diri, keluarga dan masyarakat. Teruskan menjaga kebersihan, kesihatan diri masing-masing dan patuhi jarak selamat. Kunjungi Facebook.com/ChuaChuKangOurHome untuk mengambil tahu pelbagai inisiatif dan maklumat kemasyarakatan. Chua Chu Kang telah mempertingkatkan kemudahan untuk kanak-kanak, keluarga dan warga senja; bertambah baik keselamatan jalan raya dan perkhidmatan bas; projek-projek peningkatan persekitaran dan penyambugan; dan pelbagai program kebajikan untuk menolong pelajar-pelajar dan keluarga yang berpendapatan rendah. Dalam tahun-tahun yang akan datang, kita akan membina lebih banyak ruang rekreasi yang indah; tingkatkan baki kawasan-kawasan HDB dan kemudahan yang sedia ada; membina sebuah masyarakat yang bersatu padu, penyayang dan berkongsi di Chua Chu Kang. Saya yakin bahawa kita dapat mengatasi COVID-19. Mari kita bersatu padu dan bangkit lebih teguh sebagai satu masyarakat Chua Chu Kang, ‘SG United’, ‘Chua Chu Kang United’!

INCLUSIVE And Caring Neighbourhood For All

Good health is an important facet of our lives. Hence, at Chua B.I.G. Farm Walk & Run Chu Kang, we have curated and co-created with residents a myriad of activities to encourage everyone to have active, healthy and happy lifestyles. Our activities range from fun walks, hiking and sports, to preventive health programmes such as regular health check-ups within the community. This holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle encompasses staying physically active, maintaining a balanced diet and going for regular screening. As a community that cares, Chua Chu Kang has implemented many community support projects and assistance programmes. You may be familiar with some of the bene ts, from the Pioneer Generation Package and Merdeka Generation Package, that have helped our seniors stay healthy and active. We have also enabled our residents to receive the sanitisers and masks, in a safe and orderly manner, via the recent nationwide sanitiser and mask collection exercises. Progressively, we are engaging the community to better understand their issues through multiple platforms including chit chat sessions, house visits and festive celebrations. We will work together with you to co-create a healthier and more caring community for our loved ones. Funwalk
