SINGAPORE: Member of Parliament for Sembawang GRC, Mr Vikram Nair, has given his personal reassurance that water in Block 686B Woodlands Drive 73 is safe for consumption.

The body of an Indonesian maid was found floating in a water tank at Block 686B on Monday and residents have been squeamish about drinking the water from the tap. A Bangladeshi cleaner was charged with her murder on Wednesday.

Mr Nair said: "Someone posted on my Facebook 'Why doesn't the MP lead by example and drink some water?' So another resident who saw that post invited me in, he didn't ask me to drink but he said 'Thank you for coming and it was very nice of you to come but my family is still a bit concerned.'

"So since we met on Facebook, I said let me have a glass of water. So I did that and it's been okay."

Meanwhile, the PAP Town Councils said they will further enhance the current security measures on access to the water tanks of HDB blocks.

In a statement, Coordinating Chairman Dr Teo Ho Pin said they would allow only authorised Town Council staff and the Emergency Unit to have access to the water tanks.

Dr Teo said there is currently two levels of security control in place for access to the water tanks.

He said the water tanks at the roof top are secured with locks.

In addition, access to the roof top is also secured with lockable doors.

The issue of the keys is restricted to authorised personnel for maintenance and emergency work.

@chriskwan2811 i respect your right to speak your mind. but you are racist. i'm an 'ah ney' as you call it. together with my friends (of all races) i have served my country. blood, sweat and tears with my buddies. then i come online and see this. i am a proud singaporean son. so is this mp. why am i any less qualified to drink the water you drink? why is he?

[chriskwan2811]

Please lah, I'm not a racist but get a Chinese MP to drink instead so maybe the residents might be pacify. All these ah ney, they drink water from the Ganges River where people wash, shit , bath, urine and wank inside. You think I'm convince?

(1) through living with a person, we would know his moral virtue (in terms of his actions and speech);

(2) through dealings with a person, we would know his honesty;

(3) in times of trouble, we would know his strength or integrity; and

(4) through discussing, we would know his wisdom.

Even then, such understanding arises in us only after a long time; if we are consistently attentive, and we do so with wisdom.
