SkyVille’s Rooftop Ruckus: From Zen Garden to “Lucky Plaza”?
When the big city‑sky rooftop that residents were bragging about turns into a bustling hotspot for foreign domestic helpers, the drama unfolds like a sitcom—only the setting is 2 kilometres above street level.
What’s the Buzz (and the bad smell) on the Sky?
- Unmasked Gatherings: The sky‑terrace, once the tranquil “green oasis,” has become a haven for off‑day flings. Folks say they’ve spotted teams of maids and foreign aides loitering without face masks—an act that’s too tempting to ignore.
- Messy Marvel: The area now repeats a “who‑plastered‑the‑floor” storyline—wet wipes, crumbs, and a surprising amount of glitter (yes, glitter was mentioned).
- Noise‑Alert: The sound level is up to the ceiling—literally. From clattering shoes to casual chatter, the noise level rivaled a karaoke bar.
Hot Take from the Community
Comments from homeowners were a mix of “Oh no, not again!” and “Can someone please shut the door?”—and a few witty jokes about hiring a professional “sky‑cleaner.” Some residents even suggested a Sky Police to enforce mask rules or a “no‑runway” sign to keep the heights safe.
Bottom Line
SkyVille’s rooftop garden, which once promised a serene escape, now feels more like a pop‑up fiesta. The call to action? Keep the space clean, keep the masks on, and perhaps install a “grounds‑keepers’ parking lot” to keep the no-go zones strictly out of reach.
Rooftop Rumble: Why the 47th‑Floor Garden is the New Hangout Spot
On a breezy Sunday, a foreign domestic helper—now called the “Rooftop Royal” by her crew—spoke up to reporters from Shin Min Daily News about the latest trend in sky‑high leisure.
What Prompted the Shift to 47th‑Floor Vibes?
- Overcrowded Lucky Plaza: “There’s a ton of people there, and the virus vibe is stronger,” she said. “So we chill at the rooftop because it’s quieter.
- Outdoor Fun: About two weeks back, she and her friends started having picnics in the garden, turning it into a mini‑festival of sunshine.
Local Residents Weigh In
- He’s 45 and on the fence: He avoids the garden every Sunday, especially because he has two kids who haven’t received their shots yet. “Maids bring takeaway meals there,” he explained, and he’s fast-tacking everything to keep the family safe.
How Safe Is the SkyVille @ Dawson’s Garden?
According to the Tanjong Pagar Town Council, the 47th‑floor garden is open to the public, provided you follow Covid‑19 safety rules. Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:
- Safety Inspectors on Duty: “We’ve put safety distance ambassadors in the area to patrol regularly,” said the council. They’re like friendly referees keeping everyone on track.
- Report Violations: If anyone breaches the rules, residents can flag it through the OneService mobile app. Think of it as a high‑tech whistle‑blower.
Why the Jan. Chaos Matters Now
Not long ago, in January, crowds swept the rooftops of SkyVille and SkyTerrace at Dawson, piling up to ring in the New Year. Residents were already in a jam about the crowd, and this scare has only kept the council on its toes.
