I was staying in Punggol before Waterway Point has opened, and oh boy it has way lesser amenities than what you see in Tengah now :D Punggol Plaza (Punggol's version of Tengah's Plantation Plaza) also didn't have an NTUC for about half a year, and we had to go to Sengkang or take the free bus shuttle to Giant Pasir Ris for groceries haha!

The poor cellular network is real, especially in the carparks. Lack of public transport Is even more real. I go there for piano class weekly given by my relative and the only way is riding my mom’s car there, there’s bus options but takes very long and it is very difficult to navigate. The roads there are also very bumpy, full of potholes. Avoid the left most lane at Bukit Batok road towards Tengah, or you will hit many potholes and ruin your cars suspension.

It was the same when I moved into Canberra 6 years ago. There was only one feeder bus service and it comes once every half an hour or so. The construction of the MRT station was delayed due to covid, which made things worse. Thankfully, my cluster of flats had a something of a 'central plaza' which had a 24hr Sheng Siong and coffeeshop, which made things bearable.

To effectively test the coverage of cellular network, one would have to test the coverage of all four telcos, i.e. Singtel, Starhub, M1 and Simba, and at various spots. Testing clarity of one phone call at one spot is definitely not an accurate reflection of the actual situation. Connection would definitely be better around the neighbourhood centre, given how the telcos would probably install more base stations around the neighbourhood centre, which may not be the case for the rest of the town, which is far from fully developed.

When I moved into Bishan back in the 80's when I was a kid and only 3 blocks were completed and there were nothing else and not even the Junction 8 but eventually came like what it is like now.

If people think this is bad, they should ask about Ang Mo Kio in the 70's. Bishan was still a cemetery! I should know; I lived there. Tengah estate is near to Bt Batok West with plenty of amenities so it isn't really that ulu. All brand new towns start out almost the same way.

The new residents there have to be more patience and understanding needs to wait for at least 1 or 2 and more years for it increase the facilities there just like in the past in Punggol area there before, but they can still travel around near the neighborhoods in Bukit Batok and Jurong West/East/CCK area. I believe when it is fully well developed these places will be better than in CCK and Yew Tee because they can still have better chance to reach ET/WT Mrt line between Jurong East and Boon Lay train stations. Public buses are at present connected to Jurong East and Bukit Batok Interchange to give them better choice to reach.

Your video reminds me a lot of the time when we first shifted to Jurong West in the 80s. Back then the town was still being built, and there was only one feeder bus (334) from Jurong East Interchange to Jurong West. The hawker center wasnt even ready yet, so whenever we wanted to eat out, we would have to eat in Jurong East. As the years passed, we saw the other amenities coming in, including the establishment of schools and even the Boon Lay and Lakefront MRTs :) Thank you for this video and the memories, and oh, "'Tengah" is pronounced as ""Teang-Ngah", which is a Malay word for "center" or "'middle"
