Yew Tee Public Health Hygiene
The Yew Tee SARS Task Forces (now known as Yew Tee Public Health and Hygiene)
has moved quickly into action after the launch of the Singapore’s OK (SOK)
campaign for community on 1 Jun by PM Goh Chok Tong. Yew Tee Zone 9 RC was among
the first to promote the Singapore's OK community campaign at RC events on 29
Jun 03. After which, a spate of CCC and RC events followed suit to incorporate
the SOK good hygiene habits.
The official Yew Tee's OK programme was launched at the constituency level on 21
Sep 03 in conjunction with Yew Tee Residents’ Day. This programme aims to equip
Yew Tee's residents with the necessary knowledge and cultivate them with
hygienic habits so that they are prepared for any onslaught of infectious
diseases. The Yew Tee SARS Task Force was renamed to Public Health And Hygiene
Committee in Nov 03 to lead Yew Tee's OK programme. It would work with various
partners to promote and instill personal hygiene, public hygiene and
environmental hygiene.
A group of environment ambassadors would be rolling out initiatives and
activities under the Yew Tee's OK programme. They would be tasked to raise
residents' awareness on good hygienic habits and social responsibilities and
ultimately, the challenge to engage them towards shared ownership for the
environment.
June 2004 marks the 1st anniversary of 'Singapore's OK' or SOK campaign. That
afternoon, over 400 grassroots leaders, who are members of the Constituency SARS
Task Forces (CSTFs) directly involved in the SOK campaign, have gathers at the
Grassroots Club for a workshop to share experiences on this important campaign.
Yew Tee SARs Vice-Chairman Mr. Johnny Lim was one of the speaker during the
workshop, his presentation was 'Yew Tee DPVG's Mozzie Attack Journey'. Minister
for the Environment, My Lim Swee Say, was the Guest-of-Honour for this inaugural
'Singapore's OK' Workshop
In 2005, SARs Task Force (CSTF), Singapore OK Committee, DPVG
Committee, Recycle Committee were merged and Yew Tee Public Health and Hygiene
Committee was formed
