ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN POTONG PASIR !!!

"How far is the nearest Seven-Eleven store from almost anywhere in Potong Pasir ?" The answer is, not at all ! Many of the residents living in this small neighbourhood will say that Potong Pasir, is the best place to live in Singapore. But there are also a few Singaporeans who disagree with the statement. What are the advantages or disadvantages of living in Potong Pasir ? As for me, i personally agree that the advantages of living in Potong Pasir greatly overwhelms the disadvantages of it . Today i will be sharing on the advantages of living in Potong Pasir.

Potong Pasir is a very small neighbourhood where everything is just a stone throw away, which also in other words means that it is very convenient. To begin with, the local MRT station is very nearby, it would only take a few minutes walk to get there, there are also a number of buses routing into Potong Pasir, and a few that passes by it. That makes Potong Pasir a very easily accessable place.

There is also a number of schools for students ranging from pre-school to college ! There is the Acension Kindergarten, St Andrew's Junior School, St Andrew's Secondary School, St Andrew's Junior College ! All in one village ! This mainly attract the attention of most students who want to get a higher education as the schools above are better than most schools. There are also affiliation points between the schools mentioned .

Potong Pasir also meets the residential needs of many who live here, to begin with, this small town meets the religious needs of the many people that are here in Singapore. There is a Christian Church, Buddhist temple, Indian temple, and also a Mosque for the Muslims. Singapore is a city with many races and religions, it would be very important to have places of religion to meet the religious needs of many people. There are also many medical and dental clinics around Potong Pasir which are highly convenient to many.

There is a Community Club in Potong Pasir, which provides many facilities such as a basketball court, badminton court, and even a archery range. Which is accompanied by a number of activities such as Tae-Kwon-Do courses, archery courses, acadamic enrichment courses and many more! The CC also organizes some mass excercises to keep the elderly living in Potong Pasir fit and healthy.

Potong Pasir also has many places of interest around, like the street-soccer court, a rope-climbing structure, fast food restaurants, eateries, mini-marts, a wet market, a many more!

I personally do not live in Potong Pasir, but i have been studying there for 3 years. So far life in this small town, has pleased me very much and i would not hesitate to live here .
