I visit my 90 year old nanny at least once a month at this rental block in Telok Blangah. Many old people live here. They knocked down unoccupied flats in this column which opened up a bigger common area. But for more than 2 years, this common area has been cordoned off like that, preventing residents from making use of that space. I’ve always wondered but recently, I found time to write in to the town council and they’re like, this is under HDB’s purview. There’s even a shed below the block containing some makeshift stuff that’s apparently also under HDB’s purview. What happened to no-wrong-door? Why was the common area cordoned off for years? Is it because it is a rental block where poor people live so HDB don’t give a shit about them? No wonder some rich new citizens say HDBs are slums. I’ve submitted a report through OneService. Let’s see what they say. submitted by /u/chaiporneng |
