SINGAPORE — Workers’ Party chief and Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh publicly thanked three workers from PUB, Singapore’s national water agency in a Facebook post on Wednesday night (Dec 14).
He said that the residents of Blk 601 Bedok Reservoir Road who had been affected by a pipe that had burst were grateful for the support and work done by PUB and its contractors, in particular, the three representatives from the water agency on the ground named Rasool, Tafsir, and Fendi.
Mr Singh, who visited the 48 households that had been affected by the water supply disruption, had the opportunity to speak to Mr Rasool.
The PUB worker, who has worked at the agency for the past 15 years, “was still coordinating the clean up (lots of mud in the drains) late into the evening,” the WP chief wrote, adding a special thanks to him.
Because the water interruption lasted from mid-morning to about 4:00 in the afternoon, the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council “opened a void deck water point supply pipe from adjoining block 602 to supply residents with water, until the PUB and its contractors took over with the temporary supply of clean water to residents,” Mr Singh added.
At the end of his post, he gave the water agency workers a shoutout again.
“To the PUB team on site today, maybe people don’t say this enough or expect this you to do this as it is ‘your job’.
But just know that all the residents and I are grateful to you.
Please have a good rest and thank you very much once again.”
Netizens echoed Mr Singh’s gratefulness to the PUB staff in comments on his post.
“This is what pub n the other civil service is all about.. serving the people in the best way.. n we as the people are grateful for your service,” wrote one.
Another wrote that the PUB workers had “Impressive response time on the activation.”
One commenter praised Mr Singh as well.
