Buddhism was brought to Singapore by our migrant forefathers, and the Cundhi Gong temple built in 1928 played a major role in the lives of Singapore’s Cantonese ‘majie’ women, who had sworn vows of celibacy and worked as domestic workers between the 1930s and 1970s.

Dedicated to the 18-armed Bodhisattva Cundhi, this quaint temple was designated to be a conserved building in 1989, and is part of the Chinatown-Bukit Pasoh Conservation Area.

Wishing all our Buddhist friends a Blessed Vesak Day!

Happy World Otter Day! #Didyouknow that the presence of otters in our waterways is testament to good water quality? Otters are sensitive to water pollution, so when otters are constantly spotted in a certain water body, it indicates that the water quality is favourable 🦦 🦦

We recognise that the construction delays have caused inconvenience and affected the life plans for flat buyers. While we are not out of the woods yet, we are gradually turning the corner.

Housing & Development Board will continue to work closely with the contractors to minimise delays, without compromising the safety and well-being of workers, as well as the quality of the flats. At the same time, we will ramp up our BTO supply to meet the strong housing demand.

All flat buyers enjoy a housing subsidy when they buy a BTO flat. In addition, eligible first-timers will receive the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) of up to $80,000. For resale flats, eligible first-time homebuyers can receive up to $160,000 in grants.

As a result, the vast majority of first-timer families are able to service their monthly HDB housing loans using their CPF, with little or no cash payments.

Looking for a place to hang out with your family and friends this weekend? ☀️ #MyHouseDownstairs
Besides providing our basic need for shelter, our living environment can also encourage interactions among residents, build a sense of belonging, foster vibrant communities, and promote healthy lifestyles.

To meet the growing needs and diverse aspirations of Singaporeans, we need to continuously transform our built environment to accommodate these shifts. For instance, we will pilot assisted living housing options to care for an ageing population.

To find out more about our land use plans and strategies, visit the Long-Term Plan Review exhibition:

➡️ Now till 4 August 2022
📍 At the URA Centre

💡 Try something new this school holidays with your kids!

Spring onions are not only a common garnish used to flavour soups and dishes, but they’re also one of the easiest edible plants to grow! No soil or seeds required – all you need are leftover spring onions and a jar of water.

This form of gardening is known as vegetative propagation – the process of growing using parts of the plant other than its seeds. It’s also the perfect opportunity to teach children about sustainability and food security, in line with our #CityinNature vision, and a key pillar of the #SGGreenPlan for sustainable development.

Have fun gardening with your kids! Be sure to snap and share photos of your produce with us in the comments below.
