History [link]
Lim Chu Kang Village was founded by Neo Tiew (Chinese: 梁宙; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Niû Tiū; born 1883, died 1975), a Chinese immigrant who was the sheriff of the village. The village is on the banks of the Sungei Kranji and was controlled by the Lim clan. Neo Tiew also set up a primary school and health centre in the village. Neo Tiew Road is named after him. The area was originally noted for its numerous pepper and gambier plantations. Later there were rubber plantations, e.g. Namazie-Cashin rubber estates.
Today [link]
Today, Lim Chu Kang is still largely rural and serves as a water catchment area with the four reservoirs of Sarimbun, Murai, Poyan and Tengeh which is part of the SAFTI live firing area. Lim Chu Kang have served two main roads very often and common, known as Lim Chu Kang Road and Old Choa Chu Kang Road. As this area is undeveloped all the time, it has a lot of military training areas, agriculture, farms, have a network of only remaining cemeteries (due to exhumations to all to make way for new developments) and a major columbarium. There are also side-roads, like Jalan Sungei Poyan, Lim Chu Kang Road Track 11/13 and Jalan Bahtera, and including roads that are not listed on Street Directory but on Google Earth satellite imagery (due to MINDEF secrecy, such as the old Kampong Berih Road).
Ama Keng Chinese Temple [link]
The Ama Keng Chinese Temple in Lim Chu Kang was built in 1900 to worship the holy mother, a goddess of peace and happiness. Ama means "grandmother" in Teochew and Hokkien, and keng means "temple". The first temple was made of attap. The temple was renovated in 1943 with a zinc roof and timber. In 1965, it was redeveloped with a tiled roof, and the renovations cost S$16,000. The temple holds wayang performances a few times a year.
Lim Chu Kang Rural Centre [link]
The small public housing estate, the Lim Chu Kang Rural Centre, at Neo Tiew Road was vacated in 2002 under the Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS), of which the residents had been moved to Blocks 268A-268C Boon Lay Drive in Jurong West. The abandoned flats are currently being used as SAF training facility from 2004 to 2009 until the new Murai Urban Training Facility opened in September 2008. Current fate is unknown as of 27 November 2011.

Neo (Marvel Comics species)
The Neo were a fictional race of superhumans in the Marvel Comics Universe, created by Chris Claremont. Before facing global extinction, the Neo were another of Earth's races, apparently a very ancient one that prefer to live in seclusion. They appear to be a subspecies of mutants, but much more powerful. This is seen in the way they call mutants "spikes", as if they didn't even register on the Neo's power scales.
Species Biography
Their existence was kept hidden for millennia as they had chosen a solitary life in their own community. They prospered until the day the High Evolutionary activated his machines (from an orbital space station) that switched off all mutant genes. Worldwide all mutants lost their powers and become baseline humans. The Neo suffered many casualties. Among the dead was the daughter of Domina and Hunter, the leaders of one of Neo's Warclan. They swear revenge on whoever is responsible.
The Neo engaged in fighting the X-Men, who have no intention of letting them destroy the world. It was the Neo who sabotaged the High Evolutionary's space station, who destroyed 17 of Mister Sinister's bases, and who hunted down the mutants hidden by Charles Xavier in NYC. They are all top-notch fighters, and can withstand significant punishment before going down. They are also quite technologically advanced.
Neo (object-relational toolset)
Neo (or .NET Entity Objects) is an object-relational mapping (ORM) solution for the Microsoft .NET platform. It is open source software that is distributed freely by its author, Erik Dörnenburg of ThoughtWorks.
