Dear Mr Mah
How to improve tampines playground for emotionally abused children.

My project is about how my group can build a playground especially for emotionally abused children to help them overcome their fear of being abused again. During my research, I found out that most of the case of children being abused is by their parents, either sexually abused or physically abused.
From what I had seen, I feel that playgrounds in tampines are actually quiet a fun place to be but are lack of colors and pictures to make them more attractive and look more life. To make it suitable for emotionally abused children or even handicap children, I hope you could make the buildings of the playgrounds softer so also to prevent the children from committing suicide. Adding words of encouragements to help the children to overcome their fear. In other words, in order to make the playground a lot safer, you can make sure all the playgrounds are not built near traffic; hire cleaners to keep the playground free of litters for example, broken pieces of glass; check the playground equipments once a month for sharp edges, rough surfaces and loose or broken parts; The ground of the playground should also be soft and can withstand high temperature, to prevent children from injuries and also to prevent the ground from melting due to high temperature in Singapore; material used for equipments should not be poisonous. Avoid using poisonous wood preservatives and also use paints that are lead-free.
Making the playground safer would ensure more parents to let their children to play freely in the playground without worrying about their safety.

Your sincerely,
Lee liang da
