A group of more than 10 Bukit Timah residents rolled up their sleeves and spent Sunday morning (July 19) helping to trim some 1.5 hectares of overgrown grass around Housing Board blocks in Toh Yi.
Many are newcomers who had moved in just two months ago and hope to show their appreciation for the warm welcome they received from their new neighbours.
In fact, these newcomers are migrant workers housed at the former Ngee Ann Polytechnic staff apartments at 90, 92 and 94 Kismis Avenue, a five-minute walk from Toh Yi Drive.
One of them is Mr Natesan Muniaiah, 32, a worker from India who has been in Singapore for eight years. His employer, Woh Hup, had agreed to the initiative as had King Wan Construction, which employs some of the other workers.
Mr Natesan is currently staying at Block 92. He told The Straits Times he was glad to have a chance to give back.
“It is a Sunday, but we are very happy to volunteer to do this as we are staying in the area.”
