When Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre opened in Dec 2017, residents requested for a sheltered linkway to be built between the centre and the bus stop at Woodlands Ave 3. The suggested path cuts across land under the purview of different agencies, including a canal and the Park Connector Network.
Bin Wern Ming leaned forward to coordinate and seek approvals from various agencies to build the sheltered linkway. He personally engaged every agency before seeking funding approval and calling the tender for the works. The sheltered linkway was successfully completed in Jan 2022.
Wern Ming went beyond his scope of duty to engage the stakeholders and Adviser regularly to update on the progress of the works. He also worked very closely with Building and Construction Authority to expedite the issuance of a Temporary Occupation Permit so that the public could use the sheltered linkway as soon as possible.
