}}Sin Ming ({{zh|新民}})[2] is a housing estate located in the subzone of Upper Thomson in the town of Bishan, Singapore. It is roughly situated between MacRitchie Nature Reserve and Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.[3] It consists of both residential and industrial areas.[3] Singapore's biggest Mahayana Buddhist temple, Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, is located in the vicinity of Sin Ming.[4]

Residential homes includes a mixture of landed properties, condominiums and Housing Development Board blocks.

Transportation

Sin Ming will have its own MRT station in 2020 when Bright Hill MRT Station, a station on the upcoming Thomson-East Coast MRT Line, opens.[6] This line will link Sin Ming with the Central Business District of Singapore.[5]

Education

The campus of Ai Tong School, a Special Assistance Plan primary school established in 1912, is located in the Bright Hill Drive area of Sin Ming.[6] It relocated its campus from its previous campus in Ang Mo Kio to its current location in Sin Ming in 1992 to cope with rising student enrollment.[7]

The permanent campus of Eunoia Junior College, the 20th junior college in Singapore, will be located in Sin Ming.[8][9]

Amenities

Sin Ming is home to many companies related to the automotive industry.[3] Examples include the Vicom Vehicle Inspection Centre,[3] one of the authorized vehicle testing and inspection centres in Singapore,[10] and an Independent Damage Assessment Centre (IDAC),[3] an independent centre that assesses vehicles that were damaged in accidents for insurance purposes.[11] The Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA) has a branch office in Sin Ming which houses its Vehicle and Transit Licensing division.[3] The offices of Citicab and Comfort taxi companies, both under ComfortDelGro group, are also located in Sin Ming.[3]

Sin Ming is one of the few places where funeral-related services are available.[12] The Bright Hill Crematorium and Columbarium, located within Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery,[13] provides crematoria services and facilities to store ashes of the deceased.[12] In 2007, the government announced that it would construct a purpose-built funeral parlour in Sin Ming.[22] This plan was met with fierce opposition by nearby residents, since local superstitions associate death and dying with bad luck.[22] Residents were also concerned that the value of their properties will decrease as a result of the funeral parlour.[14] In response, the government promised that the area would not become a "funeral parlour hub" and that the parlour would be located in the industrial area and thus away from the residential estates.[15] Despite the negative associations of living near a columbarium, a study of property prices of properties in Sin Ming by the Singapore Real Estate Exchange found that a flat near the columbarium fetched a higher price as compared to a larger flat of similar age that was further away from the columbarium.[12] The study concluded that the effects of the columbarium on housing prices in the area was offset by the presence of amenities like popular schools.[12]
