Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic November 27, 2017 Share November 27, 2017 Actually it's really just like a part of mindef, looks like they are gonna have to give up part of the space occupied by mindef for public use le Its never part of MINDEF. MINDEF extended Sembawang Airbase boundaries in mid 80's after acquired from LTA. That area was once Jalan Ulu Sembawang kampong. It's a kampong where majorities of the residents were Chinese families. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinobii Hypersonic November 27, 2017 Author Share November 27, 2017 when did you go? over the past weekend? since we dont have onsens here, maybe many SGreans dont know that there's a proper etiquette anyway. i believe if facilities are provided for washing of feet before soaking in the hot spring, and signages put up to educate people, then maybe it will work. its like swimming in a public swimming pool, not everyone does a quick shower before jumping in. Yeah, yesterday morning Crowd was ok leh Its never part of MINDEF. MINDEF extended Sembawang Airbase boundaries in mid 80's after acquired from LTA. That area was once Jalan Ulu Sembawang kampong. It's a kampong where majorities of the residents were Chinese families. It is actually, mindef is transfering the area to nparks according to news report I read wrongly?

RH1667 Hypersonic November 27, 2017 Share November 27, 2017 Quite surprise that they still havent convert this place to admission charges?! Since anything that can generate profits here, they surely would not let go de?! Lol. This one they will say sell admission ticket is to control the crowd so that people can have a pleasant onsen experience. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DACH Supersonic November 27, 2017 Share November 27, 2017 Its never part of MINDEF. MINDEF extended Sembawang Airbase boundaries in mid 80's after acquired from LTA. That area was once Jalan Ulu Sembawang kampong. It's a kampong where majorities of the residents were Chinese families. I thought the kampong lasted till the early 1990s. I remembered I saw parked cars along the dirt tracks infrastructures of the kampong houses just opposite Chong Pang HDB in 1990. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdash Supersonic November 27, 2017 Share November 27, 2017 There is actually no water point to wash our feet unless with own water For now, think bring own basin to soak feet is safer Think people here just stick their feet into the basin straight, didn't see anyone wash their feet prior, hehehe washing of feet before soaking in public hot spring is more for hygiene and etiquette purposes. if you bring your own basin then no need to wash feet la haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic November 27, 2017 Share November 27, 2017 Yeah, most people don't even shower before going into swimming pool. [laugh] Initially, I shower then enter the pool. But soon I realised that I am the only one doing so. Then I followed them, just jump in lah. The life guards don't care whether u shower or not. Another thing is to wear a cap when using the pool so that ur loose hair will not end up in others mouth. But very little ppl doing it. Don't think this was even mentioned in our public pools. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
