SINGAPORE : Tampines has created another first for itself. It
has built the first Community Club housed within a complex, with
complete shopping and other facilities.
It was opened on Saturday by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
From being just a void deck community centre before, Tampines
Central Community Club has come a long way with a grand opening,
complete with pyrotechnics and fireworks.
At almost 2,000 square metres, the club is the first to have an
inline hockey court and a skate sports cafe, food court,
supermarket and childcare centre.
It cost over S$5 million to build, of which S$1.5 million was
raised by grassroots organisations.
Said Mr Lee, "I envy you a little bit because your CC is much than
the older ones like in Ang Mo Kio and other parts of Singapore. But
slowly we will upgrade and we will build, and we will make all
parts of Singapore special, and we will have a home which we can
all be really proud of, which will belong to all of us." -
