Subject: 20131011 No clarification from Tampines North C C on water cooler Hygiene Fw: 20130706 Tampines North CC invalid reasons for not installing water cooler
Attn: PM Lee
Chairman, People’s Association
Dear PM Lee
I refer to my correspondence with the Tampines North C C on my feedback on water cooler installation. (enclosed)
The CC Management Committee (CCMC), who are grassroots members, had offered 2 reasons for non-installation of a water cooler:
1 Hygiene concerns
2 Possible vandalism
The fact that there are thousands of water coolers in schools, other CCs, airports, etc confirms such reasons to be not valid.
My request for clarification has been met with silence despite a copy of my email to Minister Lawrence Wong. This makes a mockery of ‘engaging the public’ which the government has promised.
If it was indeed a mistake, the CCMC should be upfront instead of acting in an arrogant manner. One could then move on to other more important issues.
Should there be no clarification, it leaves me to conclude that the Tampines North CCMC had told a tall story to wriggle out of working for the benefit CC patrons.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Regards
Phillip Ang

Dear Ms Oh
Thank you for your reply.
Tampines North C C claims there are hygiene considerations and possible vandalism as factors for not installing a water cooler to provide drinking water for CC users.
If hygiene considerations are valid, then why have other CCs installed them?

Shouldn’t Ms Oh inform all CCs, schools and government agencies to remove all their water coolers with immediate effect?
The above water coolers also do not seem to have been vandalised, for years. Your fear seems unfounded and if that is really the case, perhaps you could seek advice from the NPP on vandalism prevention.
Your suggestion to request drinking water from Burger King is not practical, especially during BK’s peak hour.
CC users have also not been informed of the arrangement between the CC and the fast food restaurant to provide free drinking water.
Shouldn’t the CC put up appropriate signs for the benefit of its users?
Thank you.

Dear Mr Ang,
The management committee of Tampines North Community Club has considered your request but is unable to accede to your request for the installation of a water cooler at the CC due to considerations on hygiene factor and possible vandalism to the machine in the public area.
We are however pleased to inform you that Burger King @Tampines North serves cold drinking water to any patrons upon request. For purpose of hygiene and the prevention of possible contamination, Burger King @Tampines North will serve the cold water using disposable drinking cups.
Please feel free to contact me at 67832900 for any further queries and we look forward to your participation on our CC’s facilities and activities.
Thank you.
