Dear Friends,
You are myself and SE's "A list" friends, and we would like to share this particular milestone of our lives with you. As shared with most of you earlier this month I've balloted for a flat without the knowledge of SE, at my point of entry, it was 588 to 100 flats, at the end of the entry exercise it ballooned to988 to 100 flats. As shown below.

---

	Punggol	8
	Sengkang	22
	Yishun	20

	Jurong West	1
	Punggol	3
	Queenstown	1
	Sengkang	4
	Woodlands	2
	Yishun	4
Total		100	998

It was against all odds but i prayed and believed God nevertheless for His favor. The results were released just and out of 988 applicants we got a ballot number of 15! PTL :)

"Your queue number is R0015.

Your appointment to select a 2/3-room flat is scheduled on 28 Jul 2009 at 10:45am. Please click here for the latest updates on the flats available for booking before coming for your appointment.

Please register at Reception Counter B, HDB Hub, with your Identity Card before your appointment. Bring along the Identity Cards of all applicants / occupiers, original payslip / income letter, marriage / birth certificate. After selecting a flat, HDB will grant you an Option to Purchase upon payment of the option fee ($250/- for Studio Apartment and 2-Room flat, $500/- for 3-Room flat) in Cash, Cheque or through NETS." Now we really need you to stand together with us, 2 Sam 12:12-13 says: "When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever." We have both given to building fund over many years and we build the house of God. God promised us that as we build His house, He would build ours. Out of the 100 flats available, our first choice is Dover Gardens Blk 28C Dover Crescent There is only 1 flat at this location and i pray that we would get it. I hope that the 14 people before us would pick all the other flats. I would be going down on the 28 July. Would you guys could keep us in prayer, that the favor of God continue to be upon us and give us our desired location. Thank you so much! With love, Ray & SE *Update The day before, i gather SE and we prayed and fasted for our land. We even went down to the flat location to pray over the flat! That God would indeed give us a land. ON the morning of the 28th July, the first thing i check once i woke up was if the flat was available. Here was what i saw: Updated as at 08 Aug 2009, 9:28:16 PM New Town Flat Type Units Offered Units Available for Selection Available Ethnic Quota** Malay Chinese Indian & Others Bukit Panjang 2-Room 33 25 6 22 5 Bukit Panjang 3-Room 2 All flats have been selected - - - Jurong West 3-Room 1 All flats have been selected - - - Punggol 21 2-Room 8 1 1 1 1 Punggol 21 3-Room 3 All flats have been selected - - - Queenstown 3-Room 1 All flats have been selected - - - Sengkang 2-Room 22 9 9 9 5 Sengkang 3-Room 4 All flats have been selected - - - Woodlands 3-Room 2 All flats have been selected - - - Yishun 2-Room 20 15 7 14 4 Yishun 3-Room 4 All flats have been selected - - -   MY FLAT WAS taken up! I was shocked, i asked myself and i asked God, why go through all the trouble to give me queue number 15 when my flat if my flat has been taken by someone earlier. I remember telling SE that i'm sure God gave us number 15 only because He didn't want to appear over bias to us, He knows that the number 16 would pick Queenstown so He gave us just 1 number short. My logic was also that because God does not want to "lose face", i should tell more people to pray for me and thus when i get my flat everyone would rejoice with me. That's why i sent out a email with our prayer request to all our close friends. Now after i saw the news, i called and told SE that our flat was taken, she sounded very disappointed over the line. Nevertheless i got into my car and went for my HDB appointment. When my turn came, the first thing i asked the guy was "Is queenstown taken?", he replied NO. I almost jumped out of my seat! Later i found out that someone earlier did pick it, and therefore it was placed as taken on the website, but the earlier applicants had an income that was in excess of the limit and therefore did not qualify to buy that particular flat. I tell you, God has a sense of humor! He wanted us to go through this roller-coaster of emotions just to see our faith in Him. When it matters' God woud always come through for you. Now we got even better news, the completion of our flat stated 28 Feb 2012, however it has been brought forward to the 4th Quarter of 2009. We would be getting our flat earlier, God indeed is good! *Update My home is considered the central region of Singapore:) Taken from http://www.ura.gov.sg

MEMO TO STUDENTS, LECTURERS, MEMBERS, COURSE PARTICIPANTS

 

 

INFLUENZA A (H1N1) UPDATE  

 

 

ORANGE ALERT TO BE DOWNGRADED:

TEMPERATURE SCANNING TO TERMINATE

 

The Ministry of Health has announced yesterday that the H1N1 Flu Pandemic Alert will be gradually downgraded to Yellow by Monday and has lifted the requirement for temperature monitoring and contact tracing in schools from today. Screening at all borders still remains, as does the Home Quarantine Order for travelers from Mexico.

 

In line with this development, SIM has ceased its temperature scanning and contact tracing on all campuses as from 10 am this morning.

 

Although the fear of a H1N1 pandemic has abated, we would like to advise everyone to still take personal precautionary and hygiene measures seriously. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and to update you accordingly of any further changes.

 

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation during our precautionary operation.

Subject  : Agency Pandemic Response Plan – (Swine Influenza)
 
There are media coverage on the outbreak of swine (pig) influenza in Mexico and other countries.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is currently monitoring the threat of flu pandemic. On 29
April, Ministry of Health (MOH) has raised the Disease Outbreak Response System (DORS-CON)
for Singapore to Yellow Alert Level (Limited human-to-human transmission outside Singapore,
which increases risk of a case being imported). 
 
It is important that every FSC is familiar with the Agency Pandemic Response Plan and be
prepared if a pandemic situation arise. As part of the pandemic response planning, Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) will be distributed. Each District will receive surgical masks and all
active agents will receive a digital thermometer for daily temperature check. 
 
If your temperature exceeds 37.5 degree celsius or feeling unwell, you are required to wear a
surgical mask and consult a doctor immediately.  You are also required to submit a Health
Declaration Form to the location agency office.  (The Health Declaration Form is attached to this
memo)
 
According to the pandemic response Yellow Alert Level, the Company will execute the following
tasks:
 
• Display health advisory at location buildings.
• Set up entry control and temperature checkpoint for visitors.
• Implement appropriate response measures at Customer Service Centre.
 
We attached the FAQs on pandemic response and the Agency Pandemic Response Plan in this
memorandum for your attention. The Agency Business Continuation Planning (BCP) Team will
continue to update all agency leaders and FSCs if there is any change to the Corporate Pandem
Alert Level and the necessary required response.   ic
 
We seek your cooperation and stay healthy. 
 
 
Yours Sincerely, 
 
Chin Chung Wen
Vice President and Senior Director of Agencies

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 
1.   What is Swine Flu?
It is an acute respiratory disease, caused by influenza type A, which infects pigs. But the
underlying virus strain, H1N1, has mutated and now contains genetic material from swine, avian
and human strains.
 
2. How does it spread?
      Like regular flu, it spreads by touching infected objects and then touching the mouth or nose,
and through coughing or sneezing. Unlike the Sars virus, when a patient is most infectious four
or five days after symptoms show, the Swine Flu can be transmitted by someone who has yet to
show symptoms of the disease.
 
3.  What pre-cautionary measures should you take at this moment?
 
The U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO have issued some
guidelines, which all of us should follow.
 
Everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.
 
4. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in
the trash after you use it. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not
your hands.
 
5. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-
based hand cleansers are also effective.
 
6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
 
Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
 
7. Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing by
infected people.
 
If you get sick, please stay at home in order to minimize contact with others.
