SINGAPORE - A group of more than 10 Bukit Timah residents rolled up their sleeves and spent Sunday morning helping to trim some 1.5 hectares of overgrown grass around Housing Board blocks in Toh Yi.

One of them is Mr Natesan Muniaiah, 32, a worker from India who has been in Singapore for eight years. His employer, Woh Hup, had agreed to the initiative as had King Wan Construction, which employs some of the other workers. "I was very touched by how positively the workers responded to the community's efforts to welcome them and that they are willing to come out and help us even on their rest day," she said.

Ms Sim shared that Toh Yi was prioritised under the initiative as the area is a cluster of 22 dengue cases, one of seven clusters in her Bukit Timah ward, which together have over 40 cases.
