Boon Ping has an excellent sense of the urban and political landscape. He knows the history, map layout and quirky stories of Tampines and many other towns inside out, we often call upon his knowledge if we want an answer that is faster and more strategic than Google. He has contributed significantly to the Tampines Liveability Blueprint Addendum 2018, especially in the Active Mobility section. He gave many good and feasible recommendations, and later also designed and led multiple walking and cycling Learning Journeys of Tampines for public service leaders in CLC's capability development programmes. I would be happy to work with Boon Ping again, as he gives his best and more in everything he does.
