Mdm Suria has been staying in St Georges for the last 15 years. When she first arrived, there were only a few blocks of flats and no facilities; except for a few ‘Mama shops’ (small Indian convenience stores). Just like a kampong village. Now the place has been transformed when old houses were torn down and replaced with new flats and the addition of exercise corners and playgrounds for children. She is particularly glad to have the Boon Keng MRT which has made the estate a lot more accessible.
She had lots of fun when she took part in some of the community programmes and is very impressed with the many elderly people in the community who are active in these programmes.

“The people here are very friendly, they always say ‘hello’ to me when they see me,” said Mdm Suria. Recently, she has been seeing neighbours whom she can’t recognise and thinks that there may be many new people moving into the estate. Despite that, she still feels it is a very comfortable, calm and quiet place to live in.
