Potong Pasir, an estate, although small, everybody’s needs are met. Under leadership of Mr Chiam See Tong for the past 27 years has seen much growth. The estate which is the home of the Saints and its residents, has many facilities ready for use by the residents.
Situated in the middle of Potong Pasir stands the Potong Pasir Community Centre, where there are facilities such as basketball courts, archery range, a multi-purpose hall, and many more.
Food is also of abundance in the estate. There are common fast food restaurants, McDonald’s and KFC, 2 coffee shops which have been there for at least 20 years and a bubble tea shop. There are also provision shops such as 7-11 and ABC minimart.
The lively saints have also been part of this estate for a long time. They have organized activities to help the community such as giving canned food to the elderly and cleaning up of the Kallang River.
Despite the pros of living in Potong Pasir, there are still cons. One of which is the lack of shelters. The roads are also a problem as they are narrow and thus causing a jam almost every morning outside the Saint Andrew’s Village due to parents dropping of their children. The bus stops within Potong Pasir have only 1 bus going to most of them.
Potong Pasir, with all its pros and cons, is still a beautiful place to live in, and has the potential to grow in the years to come.
