Field Upgrade

26 Nov 2015  

RT and RA committee members at a discussion with YB Yeo Bee Yin and MBPJ officers on Central Zone field upgrade.

1. The flooring of the basketball court is made up of a foundation layer of asphalt with a top layer of rubberized material for greater shock absorption and sound dampening. This material is not as hardy as the concrete flooring which we had earlier. We are advised not to place heavy and hard objects or furniture on the basketball court as this will damage the flooring. 
2. Exercise equipment which were scheduled to be installed this year will be delayed to 2016 due to insufficient budget from MBPJ.

3. A better water conveyance drainage system, which prevents ponding of water on the field will be also be in the plan to be constructed in 2016.

4. MBPJ to trip overgrown trees in the field as well as other parts of the Central Zone.. 

Recognition of work well done

After the outbreak of a few dengue cases in the SS20 neighbourhood, the Environmental Committee of the RA SS20 Central organized a dengue round 2 months ago to create awareness among the residents and also to identify the potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Following that, the committee made a request to MBPJ to clean up the Central Zone.

With the help from the Solid Waste Management & Public Sanitary Dept as well as the City Landscape & Greenery Dept from MBPJ, trees and bushes were trimmed, drains were unclogged and cleaned.

On Saturday, 13 June, the RA SS20 Central organized an appreciation lunch for the MBPJ contract workers who worked diligently to help keep our area clean and free from dengue. 

We would also like to remind residents to check their homes and surrounding areas regularly to ensure that there is no stagnant water.
