Opposition Member of Parliament Chiam See Tong said he can now
go ahead with his plan, and will use around $800,000 from his $10
million sinking fund to do so. His residents do not need to pay a
cent.
'I've been writing in vain to the HDB for over three years, asking
it to carry out the lift upgrading programme (LUP) in Lorong 8
because it is the oldest estate we have,' he said.
However, these six blocks may turn out to be the only ones
with lifts stopping on every floor unless residents are willing to
chip in.
This is because other blocks in the Potong Pasir constituency are
segmented blocks or ones without common corridors on every floor,
said Mr Chiam. 'We would have to build additional lift shafts, for
which it will be fairly costly and we may not have enough
funds.'
