Many of the school boys regard Potong Pasir as their second home ever since their school life started and it is all already planned out for them.
Sad to say, there are also disadvantages living in Potong Pasir, however there are more advantages than disadvantages. Even though in Potong Pasir, daily necessities are readily available, People still feel the urge of shopping however there is a lack of shopping malls in the area. Many of the residents are also loudly awakened by the honking sounds from the cars due to the traffic jams especially when school starts as the roads around Potong Pasir are very small with one lane. Unfortunately, there is also no Chinese Temple for the Buddhist believers and therefore , they have to travel somewhere else to the nearest Chinese temples for their prayers.
In our opinion , Potong Pasir is our ideal and great place to live in and we always look forward to visiting the vicinity and also enjoying the facilities around Potong Pasir. This town would certainly be remembered as our second home. Let us strive together to make Potong Pasir a even better place!
