TL;DR Save our Third Spaces, Save GV Yishun! The petitioner will be writing to both the building management and local MP to stop this from happening. The more signatures we get, the better frame of reference we can get to show that there’s a lot of us who want to preserve this building!

Yishun 10, fondly referred to by locals as GV Yishun, is under threat of demolition to make way for new residential units. Opened in 1992, this iconic building has served as more than just a structural landmark in our community. It has been a cherished destination that houses a cineplex, various eateries, and corner shops. For decades, it has functioned as our beloved “third place”—a space that fosters community connections and provides a refuge from our bustling lives.

Third spaces are crucial for healthy communities. These are venues where we gather to unwind, share experiences, and engage with one another. Unlike home or work, third spaces offer a sense of belonging and community spirit, which is vital for both psychological well-being and nurturing social bonds. Yishun 10 fulfills this role impeccably, contributing significantly to the vibrancy and emotional fabric of our community.

Yet, despite its importance, plans are underway to erase this vital community hub and replace it with residential units. This decision to demolish Yishun 10 threatens to deprive us of a venue that has witnessed countless shared memories and community milestones.

By signing this petition, you are supporting the protection of Yishun 10 as a vital third space in our lives. Let's unite to preserve our community's rich cultural fabric and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to create their own memories within these treasured walls. Let’s act now to save GV Yishun before it’s too late!
