In order to enhance the sense of commonality and identity in Serangoon Gardens,
1. A community center should be established there. As Serangoon Gardens only have a Country club, which requires payment to be a member, not many residents would become one. A community center on the other hand, is much more affordable and residents can hold activities there. This would bond them together and ensure that most residents are on a common platform.

2. More events should be held at Serangoon Gardens. Previously, in 2010, there was a Countdown to 2011 party held in Serangoon Gardens. As I had been there personally, I felt that it was an excellent bonding exercise as many residents came down and joined in the many games and activities held there. As it was an important event, in which even the Prime Minister took time to come down. As the residents would feel proud that such an important event was held at their neighborhood, it would enhance the place identity.
