My First Skool to offer 2,000 more childcare places this year

My First Skool to offer 2,000 more childcare places this year
NTUC's My First Skool also aims to grow its enrolment to 20,000 by 2020 - up from the current 13,000 places.

Posted 15 Mar 2016 23:20 Updated 16 Mar 2016 15:09

SINGAPORE: Young, dual-income families can look forward to over 2,000 more childcare places in 2016, with the National Trade Union Congress' (NTUC) My First Skool opening childcare facilities in Jurong West, Punggol and Sengkang.

Each of the four centres opening this year can take in between 200 and 500 children.

My First Skool aims to grow its enrolment to 20,000 by 2020 - up from the current 13,000 places. This was announced at the opening of its newest childcare centre at Punggol Waterway Point on Tuesday (Mar 15).

NTUC's Secretary-General Chan Chun Sing, who was at the launch, said larger childcare centres give teachers the chance to pilot and try new ways of doing things. For instance, they can try out different teaching and learning pedagogies to bring out the best in every child.

"It's not just about the numbers - we're talking about people who are committed to the preschool sector and have the interests of the children at heart," he said. "But as you can see in this larger centre, it actually allows us to have economies of scale. It also makes it more attractive for the teachers to come because they're working as part of a larger team. So actually it gives us a lot of advantages to try new concepts."

Sumatra quake: Tremors felt in Singapore; authorities urge calm

Sumatra quake: Tremors felt in Singapore; authorities urge calm

Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force urge those in Singapore to remain calm after a 7.8-magnitude quake hit southwest Sumatra on Wednesday night. Tremors were subsequently felt in parts of Singapore.

Posted 02 Mar 2016 22:57 Updated 02 Mar 2016 23:20

SINGAPORE: Police have urged members of the public to remain calm after tremors were felt in Singapore, following a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that hit Indonesia on Wednesday night (Mar 2).

In an advisory, police said the Meteorological Services confirmed the earthquake hit southwest Sumatra - about 1,237km from Singapore - at about 8.49pm on Wednesday. Tremors were subsequently felt in parts of Singapore from 8.53pm. Both the Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force received several calls from the public reporting these tremors, it said.

If members of the public are inside a building and feel tremors, police advise them to:

i) Take cover under a sturdy table or furniture
ii) Keep away from items made of glass or any hanging object
iii) Do not use the lift
iv) Do not use any naked light, in case there is a gas leak

Those out in the open should minimise their movement and stay away from buildings, street lights and utility wires, police added. After the vibrations have stopped, they should:

i) Stay away from any exposed electrical cables, hanging glass objects
ii) Report any gas leakage
iii) Help the injured, call SCDF if the injuries are significant
iv) Report any incidents or issues of law and order to Police
v) Tune in to the radio for updates, according to police

The Singapore Civil Defence Force similarly asked those in Singapore to not be alarmed, and posted information on what to do in the event of tremors.

TREMORS FELT IN BISHAN, EAST COAST, SENG KANG, ANG MO KIO

Residents in Singapore reported feeling tremors in areas including Bishan, Punggol, East Coast, Seng Kang and Ang Mo Kio. However, Singapore is unlikely to be affected by the earthquake, said the National Environment Agency.

A Katong resident, who only wanted to be identified as Ms Amanda, said she felt tremors from her 12th-floor apartment shortly after the quake struck, at about 9.05pm.

“I was lying down reading a book when suddenly I felt like the ground was moving side to side. I thought I was feeling tired, but my mum saw our lamps outside shaking, so we decided to evacuate,” she told Channel NewsAsia.

Amanda said there were about 15 residents gathered downstairs of her condominium. Her family of six stayed at the ground floor for about half an hour.

“We live quite high up, and we have two dining lamps which won’t shake if it’s just (strong) wind. It’s happened before during an earthquake as well,” said Ms Amanda of her family’s decision to self-evacuate from their apartment.

They eventually returned to their home at 9.30pm. “We just wanted to be safe first. We headed downstairs and saw other people, so that confirmed it,” she said.

A resident in Kembangan who lives in an apartment also reported feeling strong tremors from the quake. "I felt like I was swaying from left to right. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'll rate (the movement) at the 2.5 to 3," said Ms Jazryl Lee.

Indonesia, especially Aceh, was badly hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. The country straddles the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire", a highly seismically active zone, where different plates on the earth's crust meet and create a large number of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Uniform Fee For Waste Collection For Remaining Four Sectors From 1 Jan 2015

Part of NEA’s move to consolidate waste collection sectors to enable greater efficiency in solid waste management industry

Singapore, 8 December 2014 – 

Residents living in the Ang Mo Kio-Toa Payoh, Hougang-Punggol, Woodlands-Yishun and Tanglin-Bukit Merah sectors will join the Uniform Fee (UF) scheme for the collection of refuse from domestic premises with effect from 1 January 2015.  The UF rate is $7.49 per month and $24.81 per month for HDB and landed premises respectively (both fees inclusive of GST).

2          Since the UF scheme was introduced in 2012, households across different parts of Singapore have been moving onto a common (uniform) fee for waste collection service, according to their housing type. It started in two sectors, Pasir Ris-Tampines and Bedok, in July 2012, followed by another three sectors, Jurong, Clementi and City, in October 2013. With effect from 1 January 2015, the UF scheme will cover the remaining four sectors, Ang Mo Kio-Toa Payoh, Hougang-Punggol, Woodlands-Yishun and Tanglin-Bukit Merah sectors.

3          The UF scheme, announced by NEA in May 2012, will see all households in Singapore paying the same fees for the same tier of refuse collection services. This paves the way for the Public Waste Collection (PWC) sectors to be consolidated from the current nine to six sectors progressively, each time a new PWC contract for the respective sector commences (Annex A shows the old and new PWC sectors).

4          Consolidation of sectors will allow the PWC industry to realise efficiency gains and raise standards and productivity. This will lessen the impact of rising costs in labour and operations on refuse collection fees, and help to moderate fees in future. As for lower and middle-income households, U-Save rebates are automatically credited to the utilities accounts of eligible households, which would help to offset the increase in refuse collection fees for the affected sectors.

5          Besides the consolidation of the PWC sectors and implementation of the UF, NEA has also been working with the industry to raise overall standards and productivity. This contributes towards developing an efficient waste collection and disposal system while upholding high standards of public hygiene and ensuring better service delivery to residents.    

6          The next UF review is scheduled in January 2017. NEA will review the UF every two years. The public can find out which PWC sector they belong to at http://app2.nea.gov.sg/docs/default-source/energy-waste/waste-management/refuse-collection-fees-for-all-sectors-(wef-1-sep-2014).pdf?sfvrsn=0). They can also call the NEA’s hotline at 1800-2255 632 for more information about the public waste collection scheme.

Waste collection fee for residents in four sectors to be raised next year

Waste collection fee for residents in four sectors to be raised next year

Residents in the Ang Mo Kio-Toa Payoh, Hougang-Punggol, Woodlands-Yishun and Tanglin-Bukit Merah sectors will be paying more for waste collection from Jan 1, 2015 onwards.

SINGAPORE: Residents in the Ang Mo Kio-Toa Payoh, Hougang-Punggol, Woodlands-Yishun and Tanglin-Bukit Merah sectors will be paying more for waste collection from Jan 1, 2015 onwards.

HDB households will pay a uniform fee of S$7.49 per month - they used to pay between S$4.82 and S$5.81. Those living in landed homes will pay S$24.81 per month, up from between S$17.12 and S$19.75 previously.

These four sectors are the last to be covered under the Uniform Fee (UF) scheme for the collection of refuse from domestic premises, introduced by the National Environment Agency (NEA) in May 2012. Under this scheme, households in Singapore will pay the same fees for the same tier of refuse collections services.

To help offset the increase in refuse collection fees for the lower- and middle-income households in the affected sectors, U-Save rebates are automatically credited to the utilities accounts of eligible households, NEA said in a media release on Monday (Dec 8).

NEA also said the UF scheme paves the way for the Public Waste Collection (PWC) sectors to be consolidated from the current nine to six sectors progressively, each time a new PWC contract for the respective sector starts.

The consolidation of sectors will allow the public waste collection industry to realise efficiency gains and raise standards and productivity, NEA added. These improvements will lessen the impact of rising costs in labour and operations on refuse collection fees, and help to moderate fees in future, the agency said.

The scheme's next review is scheduled in Jan 2017, and NEA will review it every two years.

Members of the public can find out which PWC sector they belong to at NEA's website.

Note :

1. The Number of Applications Received is as at midnight on 25 July 2014. Allocation of flats is subject to prevailing eligibility conditions, availability of flats and Ethnic Integration Policy.

2. Application Rates:

Non-mature Estates  2-room: First-timer application rate refers to the number of first-timer applications divided by 40% of the total flat supply, while second-timer / first-timer Singles application rates refer to the number of Second-timer / First-timer Singles applications received divided by 30% of the total flat supply.  3-room: First-timer application rate refers to the number of first-timer applications divided by 70% of the total flat supply, while second-timer application rate refers to the number of second-timer applications received divided by 30% of the total flat supply.  4-/ 5-room: First-timer application rate refers to the number of first-timer applications divided by 85% of the total flat supply, while second-timer application rate refers to the number of second-timer applications divided by 15% of the total flat supply.

Mature Estates 2- to 5-room: First-timer application rate refers to the number of first-timer applications divided by 95% of the total flat supply, while second-timer application rate refers to the number of second-timer applications divided by 5% of the total flat supply.  (However, for both non-mature and mature estates, some flats are also set aside for quota-based priority schemes, where HDB does not differentiate between first-timers and second-timers. If there are fewer first-timers than the number of flats set aside for them, the excess flats will be allocated to second-timers.)

3. The associated breakdown by first-timers and second-timers for studio apartments is not shown, as HDB does not differentiate its treatment of studio apartment applicants.
