Minister of National Development, Member of Tampines GRC,
Mr Mah Bow Tan


Dear Mr Mah Bow Tan,

Under your expert leadership and years of experience in governing Tampines, Tampines has become a well- known place known in this region.

I am Yew Jia Le, a student of Pasir Ris Secondary School. Recently I have been given a task, a project based on playground.
The project is to design a playground for needy children so they won’t be the only one left out of fun. My group has designed a playground specially for the emotionally- scarred and abuse children. I did research about playgrounds around Tampines and realized most playgrounds are not suitable for the emotionally abused. The playgrounds do not have the requirements for the abused. What they need is a fun and bright playground to lighten their mood. It seemed that Tampines short of the facilities for them. These children need something fun for them, to make them forget hurtful past and pain sorrow. Vandalism is a way. We can design playgrounds for them to vandalize, of course washable. Maybe we should just build some of the design our school make up with. We can raise fund, and use the fund to build several playgrounds. The playgrounds will be built if possible, from our designs which are based on research. The playgrounds will have punching bags for the children to release their anger on. Wall will be built as an outlet for the children.

I hope you will see into this matter, I appreciate you taking your time to read my message.

Yours faithfully,
Yew Jia Le
