After a tour of the RAS Learning Pavilion showcased during the LOO (Let's Observe Ourselves) Carnival & Awards in December, Minister of State for the Environment and Water Resources Dr Amy Khor, who was then the Guest-of-Honour, was keen to bring the roving exhibition to the ECo Day Out 2011 @ South West event. On 23rd January, Dr Amy Khor, who is also the Mayor of the South West District hosted the event with the Minister of the Environment and Water Resources Dr Yaacob Ibrahim gracing the event as its Guest-of-Honour. The RAS Learning Pavilion with game activities saw strong community participation.
This annual district environmental event – an annual platform to celebrate environmental efforts in the district and educate the community regarding issues like energy conservation and the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) – is well into its sixth year and is organised by the South West CDC, the NEA South West Regional Office and Hong Kah North Grassroots Organisations. The event was held at the Hardcourt next to Blk 372 Bukit Batok West Ave 5 (Opposite Bukit Gombak MRT Station) and the roving exhibition.
