Gleneagles Hospital

Gleneagles Hospital is a private hospital on Napier Road, Singapore, next to Napier MRT station. It provides medical and surgical services. It is part of Parkway Pantai, a subsidiary of the Malaysian–Singaporean private healthcare group IHH Healthcare. History In 1957, Gleneagles Hospital was started by The British European Association as a 45-bed nursing home. On 16 January 1958, Gleneagles Nursing Home was incorporated as a private company and known as Gleneagles Hospital Limited. It opened its doors as a hospital on 8 June 1959. From 1979 to 1980, it developed into a 126-bed "medical center" that provided a wide range of medical services. In May 1987, Parkway Holdings acquired Gleneagles Hospital for S$46 million and expanded it from 1988 to 1991. The hospital was modernised at a cost of $150 million. Its new additions were a 10-storey hospital block, 14 operating theaters, and 150 consulting suites. Its range of services grew to include hospital management and consultancy services. In 1993, Gleneagles became a tertiary care hospital, growing to 150 medical specialists a year later. In 1997, it developed into a 380-bed institution. At present, there are more than 160 specialists in over 30 specialties. On 6th of September 2019, it was where the Former President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe died. Awards and innovations Gleneagles Hospital was awarded the Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCI) in 2006, certifying that the hospital satisfies the international standard of care and hospital management, with the Gold Seal of Approval. In 2002 the Asian American Liver Center in Gleneagles Hospital became the first hospital in South East Asia to perform a living donor liver transplant for children, a high-risk but potentially life-saving procedure. The Asian American Liver Center uses modern technology which helps doctors reconstruct liver anatomy from CT scans, facilitating more accurate diagnosis and precision in operations. Partnerships Gleneagles has partnerships with Johns Hopkins University in the United States, Thames Valley University in the United Kingdom, Curtin University of Technology and La Trobe University in Australia. In July 2013, in response to the surge in dengue cases, Gleneagles Hospital collaborated with public hospital Changi General Hospital, using its beds to accommodate public hospital patients. Controversies In 2013 a patient, Li Siu Lun, 54, sued Gleneagles Hospital and was awarded S$250,000 in damages, compensatory damages of $10,000 and $240,000 aggravated damages for distress. He claimed that the hospital conspired with a private practitioner, Looi Kok Poh, to make Li undergo additional surgery in order to cover up a botched hand operation. Li claimed that Gleneagles Hospital had altered his consent form and medical records in order to help Looi cover up his negligence. On appeal by Gleneagles and counter-appeal, general damages of $21,000 and aggravated damages of $42,000 were awarded.

Mount Vernon Camp

Mount Vernon Camp, also known as the Gurkha Cantonment, is an establishment of the Singapore Police Force built to house the training and residential facilities of the Gurkha Contingent's Gurkhas and their families. Located at Mount Vernon near the now closed Bidadari Cemetery, it has undergone expansion on the hilly terrain, particularly with the introduction of modern, high quality high-rise housing blocks for the over 2,000 officers and their families-in-tow. The road leading into the camp is named Kathmandu Road for the capital city of Nepal. Built as a self-contained complex due to security concerns to minimise movements into and out of the complex, it has its own shops, a kindergarten, playgrounds for the younger children, and a swimming pool which the families can access on weekends, all of which contingent commander Bruce M. Niven(2001-2006) equates to being a township all on its own. There are no schools in the camp. Dwellers in the complex are not prohibited from leaving the camp or utilising services and facilities outside it. Throngs of school-going Nepalese children regularly leave and enter the camp everyday, wearing the uniforms of national schools. The camp's close proximity to Bartley Secondary School has seen a significant number of Nepalese children being enrolled there, although they can also be found in schools much further away as the children become gradually assimilated into Singapore society and culture. First Toa Payoh Primary School is one of the few primary schools the Gurkha's children are enrolled in. The surrounding commercial outlets thrive on business from the Nepalese community based in Mount Vernon Camp, and it is a common sight to see officers doing their daily recreational runs around the major roads close to the camp. Phase 2B of the complex expansion commenced in 2001, costing a total of S$42.2 million and adding 93,568m2 of largely residential space. Designed by PWD Consultants and built by the China Construction (South Pacific) Development Co., it was completed by 2003. The complex has continued to undergo physical upgrades, with the government setting aside another S$47.8 million for expansion works carried out from 2004 to 2006, as well as another complex expansion from 2015 to 2020. This was followed by an elevator refurbishment scheme for selected apartment buildings in-between 2023 and 2024 to improve the living conditions of the residents. In 2024, Gurkha Cantonment celebrated its 75th anniversary by having a variety of events including the GC Mela(Carnival), a 75 km Ultra-marathon, functional fitness challenge, tree planting, reopening of the revamped heritage centre and banners on nearby lampposts, with the motto “Upholding the legacy of excellence”. An anniversary book was published by project officer SI Lalitkumar Khadka, and event advisor DSP Khoo Sze Hong, who were also in-charge for the revamping of the Gurkha Cantonment Heritage Centre.

Coleman Bridge (Singapur)

Die Coleman Bridge ist eine zweigeteilte Brücke für Fahrzeuge über den Singapore River in Singapur. Sie überquert den Fluss in der Nähe von Clarke Quay und verbindet Hill Street und New Bridge Road an der Grenze zwischen den Planungsgebieten Singapore River und Downtown Core. Die heutige Coleman Bridge ist die vierte in der Folge, die an der gleichen Stelle steht: Die erste Brücke, fertiggestellt 1840, bestand aus Ziegelsteinen und hatte neun Bögen. Die 20 Meter breite Brücke wurde teilweise auch New Bridge genannt – nach der New Bridge Road am südlichen Ende. Sie wurde entworfen vom irischen Architekten George Drumgoole Coleman. 1865 wurde die erste Brücke durch eine Holzbrücke ersetzt. Sie wurde zu Ehren von Lord Charles John Canning in Canning Bridge benannt, was später von der Stadtverwaltung rückgängig gemacht wurde. Nachdem der Verkehr zugenommen hatte, baute man 1886 eine neue dreispurige Brücke. Sie wurde damals als eine der elegantesten Brücken Singapurs beschrieben. 1990 wurde schließlich eine weitere Brücke gebaut. Sie sollte dem zunehmenden Verkehrt gerecht werden und bessere Buslinienführungen ermöglichen. Das Projekt wurde in zwei Phasen durchgeführt: zuerst wurde neben der alten Brücke die Hälfte der neuen Brücke gebaut und in Betrieb genommen, dann wurde die alte abgerissen und eine weitere Fahrbahn hinzu gebaut, wodurch eine Doppelbrücke entstand. die architektonischen Elemente und Dekorationen der Brücke von 1886 (wie Laternen, Gewölbe, Säulen usw.) versuchte man weitgehend zu erhalten.

Coleman Bridge, Singapore

Coleman Bridge is a vehicular bridge in Singapore. The bridge links Hill Street and New Bridge Road, spanning the Singapore River near Clarke Quay. Part of the bridge demarcates the boundary between the Downtown Core and the Singapore River Planning Area, both of which are located within the Central Area. The Coleman Bridge was the second bridge built across the Singapore River and the first built in masonry. History In 1840, a brick bridge joining Old Bridge Road and Hill Street over the Singapore River was constructed and called Coleman Bridge. The bridge had nine arches, and was designed by and named after George Drumgoole Coleman (1795–1844), an Irish architect and Singapore's first architect. It was referred to as the New Bridge, lending its name to the road on its southern end — New Bridge Road. In 1865, the brick bridge was replaced by one made of timber but was not well constructed. It cost about Straits $10,000 and was built by the government. In 1886, an iron bridge was built to replace the wooden one. This iron bridge was considered one of the most attractive spanning the Singapore River. It was present for about 100 years, where the bridge had shown signs of ageing, and the need to refurbish the bridge. The widening of Coleman Bridge was planned since 1977, but had not been announced until 1984, where the construction of the extra road necessitated the demolition of the old iron bridge. The eastbound carriageway was shifted to the western side, where the traffic switch is in March 1986. It was replaced by present concrete bridge in December 1987 for the westbound carriageway. The move facilitates better traffic flow for about 15 years before the North East MRT line opens. However, several features of the iron bridge such as the decorative lamp posts and iron railings were incorporated into the current structure, in recognition of its historical significance. Coleman Bridge is known as yi ma lo khiu or "the bridge at the second road" in Cantonese.

Geylang River

Geylang River (Malay: Sungai Geylang; Simplified Chinese: 芽茏河) is a canalised river flowing from Geylang to Kallang, in the Central Region of Singapore. With the formation of the Marina Reservoir after the completion of the Marina Barrage in 2008, the river now forms part of the reservoir. Course Geylang River begins at Ubi as Geylang Canal, continues southwards under Eunos Road 5 and Sims Avenue, and turns westwards after Geylang Road and Lorong 40 Geylang, but flows southwards again near Guillemard Road, before turning westwards again after the junction of Old Airport Road and Dunman Road, through Mountbatten Road and Stadium Way. The river finally empties into the Kallang Basin near Tanjong Rhu in the southern part of Kallang near the Tanjong Rhu Suspension Bridge. History Geylang River has gone through a two years long revamp initiated by the Public Utilities Board (PUB) programme, which revitalised the waterway while preserving the rich heritage of the areas around Geylang River, and was opened by Guest-of-Honour Associate Professor Fatimah Lateef, Member of Parliament for Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency. As part of the revamp, Geylang River was also deepened and widened to increase its capacity and enhance flood protection. As part of an Active, Beautiful and Clean (ABC) Waters project by Paya Lebar Quarter, a natural rain garden which treats surface runoff using plants and soil was also set up to improve the quality of the river's water. The Geylang Park Connector of the Park Connector Network (PCN) runs almost parallel to the Geylang River, providing a stretch of recreational space along the river between Guillemard Road and Tanjong Rhu. The Paya Lebar Quarter straddles both sides of the Geylang River. Otters Geylang River is known to be frequented by smooth-coated otters, as it has become a thriving habitat due to efforts like the PUB's Active, Beautiful, Clean (ABC) Waters Programme. These otters are often seen swimming and playing, and even have "otter crossing" signs along the riverbanks as a reminder of their presence. References

Newton Food Centre

Das Newton Food Center (纽顿熟食中心) ist ein großes Hawker Center in Newton, Singapur. Das Food Center wird durch den Singapore Tourism Board (STB) als Touristenattraktion beworben. Erstmals eröffnet wurde es 1971, dann 2005 geschlossen, da die Regierung das Food Center verändern wollte. Es folgte eine groß angelegte Renovierung, bis es am 1. Juli 2006 wiedereröffnet wurde. Renovierung Während den Renovierungsarbeiten wurde das Newton Food Center vorübergehend in die Nähe der Bukit Timah Road verlegt. Design Das neu errichtete Food Center enthält Designelemente umliegender Kolonialhäuser. Das Farbschema ist weiß, schwarz und braun. Das Dach ist 7 Meter hoch, um eine angemessene Lüftung sicherzustellen. Um den zentralen Platz sind hufeisenförmig die 83 Verkaufsläden angeordnet. Angeboten werden Gerichte wie Fische, Nudeln, Satay und Meeresfrüchte. Flora im Food Center Über 50 Arten von Blumen, darunter rosafarbene Frangipani und verschiedene Arten von Palmen, wurden im Bereich des Newton Food Centers angepflanzt. Kontroversen Obwohl es von der STB für die singapurische Küche beworben wird, werden die Lebensmittelverkäufer im Newton Food Center oft von Einheimischen kritisiert, vor allem wegen überhöhter Preise und einer mittelmäßigen Lebensmittelqualität. Das Zentrum ist besonders berüchtigt für unaufhörliche Werbung und Belästigung von Kunden durch übereifrige Verkäufer. Am 14. März 2009 wurden sechs amerikanischen Touristen 491 Singapur-Dollar für eine Mahlzeit in Tanglins Best BBQ Seafood berechnet. In diesem Fall der eklatanten Überhöhung verhängte eine Aufsichtsbehörde ein dreimonatiges Verbot des Verkaufsstandes und verbot seinem Assistenten, dort für fünf Jahre zu arbeiten.
