How to Prevent Dengue Fever

… pages 8 & 9

Message

from Town Council Vice-Chairman
One Bite… One Victim. That could become the aedes mosquito’s hit rate should we become complacent. Despite continuous announcements and public education by the National Environment Agency (NEA), the severity of the dengue situation has still not gotten through to many. The government agencies and Town Councils have intensified their anti-mosquito breeding operations in the public and common areas of the estate. These coordinated actions have greatly reduced the number of mosquito breeding sites. However, we are still encountering cases of mosquito breeding in homes. Residents therefore have a vital role to play. We have to be responsible and take the required preventive measures to eliminate mosquito breeding in our homes. The best defence against Dengue Fever is to prevent the breeding of the aedes mosquito. We have to be vigilant. Be responsible for your property and items, and protect your family members and loved ones by informing them of the dangers of Dengue Fever and the relevant actions you can take to prevent mosquito breeding. All we are required to do are simple things. For example, flower pots displayed along the common corridors or outside units are popular mosquito breeding sites. Remember to pour away the stagnant water that has accumulated in the base plate. Also, your bamboo pole holders are a favourite spot for these blood-suckers. Please cover the pole holders with plastic caps. This issue of the Town Council’s newsletter has useful information about preventing mosquito breeding and Dengue Fever. Turn to pages 8 and 9 to learn how you can identify potential breeding spots in your home and the preventive measures. Let us all work towards a dengue free estate.

Repairs & Redecoration Works and Cyclical Works coming your way
All HDB residential blocks are scheduled for Repairs and Redecoration works (R&R) to keep them in good condition, and for the services to function efficiently and problem free. The Town Council is responsible for the maintenance of some blocks in the GRC. Thus, detailed planning is essential to ensure R&R works are carried out smoothly and with minimal disruption and inconvenience to residents. Due to the nature of works involved, we are mindful of your safety and will do our best to barricade the affected areas, and keep you updated. Thus, The Town Council seeks the understanding and co-operation of residents to inform your family members and advise your children to stay away from the work sites. We appreciate your support to ensure a smooth completion of the R&R.

WHY??
TC

Some residents have been scratching their heads wondering at the actions taken by the Town Council. In this issue, we will enlighten our readers on the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of our actions.

Q1. Why the need to re-construct the drains?
TC Uneven drains have resulted in water ponding and a potential breeding area for mosquitoes.

Q2. Why are your improvement works interrupted for a long while before you start work again?
Sometimes we stop work temporarily because of the schools examination period or due to extreme weather conditions. But we would resume and complete the works asap

High cholesterol killer the silent
Cholesterol is a type of fat. Your body needs it for many things, such as making new cells. But too much cholesterol in your body increases your chances of having a heart attack and stroke.
HELPING YOURSELF Loose weight: Reducing excess weight will help to lower your total and LDL- cholesterol and triglyceride (fat) levels. Watch your diet: Limit your intake of all types of fats, both saturated and unsaturated. Replace some saturated with unsaturated fats. Cholesterol is only found in animal products. Major sources include organ meats (e.g. liver, brains, kidneys, intestines, heart), egg yolk, squid, fish roe, shellfish, prawns, crabs and animal fats. Eat less of these foods. Eat more fibre: Fibre found in oats, oats bran, barley, fruit vegetables, legumes and whole grains can speed up the removal of cholesterol from your blood. Take less alcohol: Excessive alcohol intake can lead to high blood pressure. Alcoholic drinks also contain many calories, which can contribute to weight gain. Don’t Smoke: Smoking damages the blood vessel walls, making them more prone to fatty deposit buildup. Smoking also lowers the level of HDL- cholesterol in the blood and reduces the protective effect against atherosclerosis (Plaque build up on artery walls). Exercise: Lack of exercise is associated with low HDLcholesterol level. Try to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity (in a single bout or multiple bouts of 10 minutes) or 5 or more days per week e.g. brisk walking, cycling (leisure). TREATMENT If your blood cholesterol levels are too high, your doctor may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medicine. Take your medicine(s) in addition to making lifestyle changes. Contributed by National Healthcare Group Polyclinics Setting higher standards for family healthcare in the community In Singapore, more than a quarter of all causes of death each year is related to heart attacks and stroke. According to a recent health survey, about 1 in 2 Singaporeans aged between 18-69 years had borderline high/high total cholesterol levels. High cholesterol is sometimes called the silent killer because it usually does not cause any significant noticable symptoms. Therefore, regular medical checkups are critical to avoid the pitfalls and complications of high cholesterol. TYPES OF CHOLESTEROL Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) This “bad” cholesterol is the form in which cholesterol is carried into the blood and is the main cause of harmful fatty buildup in arteries. The higher the LDL cholesterol level in the blood, the greater the heart disease risk. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) This “good” cholesterol carries blood cholesterol back to the liver, where it can be eliminated. HDL helps prevent a cholesterol buildup in blood vessels. Low HDL levels increase heart disease risk. In addition, there is another type of fat in the blood known as Triglycerides. When this is present in excessive amounts, it also increases the heart attack risk. A high blood cholesterol level means that you have more cholesterol in your bloodstream than your body needs. The higher your blood cholesterol level, the greater is your risk of developing heart disease. This is easily detected with a blood test. Then according to the other risk factors for heart disease, your doctor will be able to advise you on the management of your cholesterol levels. Although older people and those with a family history of heart disease or stroke are more likely to develop high cholesterol, a healthy lifestyle can bring down your cholesterol level.

Clear and Pre
What is the buzz over these

blood-suckers?

As we enter the warmer period of the year, mosquito breeding activity increases, resulting in a jump in Dengue Fever cases. Mosquitoes thrive during the warmer months from April to September. Residents are advised to check the potential mosquitoes breeding sites in and outside your homes. Everyone has to be extra vigilant during this period to identify and destroy such breeding sites to prevent the spread of dengue fever.

esent Danger
How to prevent mosquito breeding?
• Turn pails and watering cans over and store them under shelter • Remove water in plant pot plates. Clean and scrub the plate thoroughly to remove mosquitoes eggs. Avoid the use of plant pot pot plates if possible • Loosen soil from potted plants to prevent the accumlation of stagnant water on the surface of the hardened soil • Do not block the flow of water in scupper drains along common corridors in HDB estates. Avoid placing potted plants and other paraphernalia over the scupper drains

• Cover rarely used gully traps. Replace the gully trap with nonperforated ones and install antimosquito valves

• Cover bamboo pole after use. Rainwater can potentially accumulate in these bamboo pole holders if they are uncovered and create a habitat.

• No tray or receptacles should be placed beneath and or/on top of an air conditioning uint so as not to create a condition favourable for mosquito breeding

• Change water in flower vases. Clean and scrub the inner sides of vases. Wash roots of flowers and plants thoroughly as mosquito eggs can stick to them easily.

Its products are diverse, catering to both young and old, meeting the preferences of diverse groups. the most popular. Others such biscuits, chocolate, and crackers are also among the more popular products.

Traditional Business

is a traditional tidbits store at Blk 117, #01-116, with 36

Kian Eng Chan
Toa Payoh Central, years of history. It was founded in 1971 at Bukit Timah, before it moved to

Toa Payoh in 1974. The store opens daily from 11:30am to 10pm, Monday to Sunday, and is operated by the founders, the Goh brothers.

“ Majority of the store’s business is from direct sales to walk-in customers, but Kian Eng Chan also acts as a mini wholesaler, selling small bulks to other smaller provision shops,…” says the elderly Goh

There is no branding or labeling of the candies and snacks in the store, unlike modern stores in newer shopping complexes. Those stores spent more on shop branding, location, decoration, furnishing and airconditioning, and then passing the costs to the customers. In Kian Eng Chan, the products sold are with no frills and fancy packaging. It passes the operational savings to the customers. Products sold are at very low prices, almost close to wholesale prices. By selling at low prices, the store manages to sell more, which maintains the freshness of the products, and at the same time, allows the store to have more varieties than other kind of fancy candy stores. There are a few hundred varieties of candies, snacks, and preserved fruits, so much so that the owners have lost count. The shredded fish snack is

The store has long operating hours and the chores in the store can be tedious. It is hard work operating the store. The owners, whose children are all professionals, do not foresee their children taking over the business. Right now, the owners are taking things a step at a time. They might wind up the business if they become irrelevant by the pace of time. The increasing cost is also another factor that might cause them to retire early. Although they bought the store from HDB, they have to rent half of the store out due to high cost of operation. Despite the difficulties, Mr. Goh hopes to continue this traditional trade as long as his health permits. Mr. Goh strives to maintain the trademark freshness and economical prices of his goods to keep his current and new customers as happy as can be.
