Dear Mr Mah
Upgrading of Playground Facilities
In my opinion, Tampines is a beautiful place to be in, with many facilities that improve our standards of living here and is truly a pleasant place to be in under your expert leadership. But there are still ways to improve the playgrounds as they do not cater to much of the needs of emotionally scarred children.
I am suggesting that there should be facilities like a music corner, where there are little instruments like drums and so on for children to be able to express their emotions with musical instruments so they can feel freer of their emotions and feel happier with everything let out. Whiteboards too can be installed in the playgrounds so children can draw and write out their feelings and thoughts so they can make a stand and let others know how they feel.
The playgrounds should be painted in bright colours and cool colours as it makes people feel happy and relaxed. Dull colours would lower a person’s mood making them feel even sadder and depressed, so bright colours would make them feel happier, and cool colours would make them feel more relaxed and at peace, which is the best feeling a person should feel to improve any illnesses like being emotionally scarred.
Thank you for thanking the time to read my proposal and I sincerely hope that you would take some action in improving the playgrounds to cater for the need of the emotionally scarred.
Yours truly,
