I refer to Mr Seah Kian Chong's letter on the prompt response of
Sengkang HDB Branch Office in retifying his shoddy air conditioning
ledge (ST Oct 4).
Unfortunately, I did not have such a pleasant experience. I live on
the top floor of a HDB block in Sengkang and the ceiling of two
bedrooms started leaking soon after I moved in last year.
I have complained about it countless times and have even met my MP
about the matter. So far, HDB has said that it is the problem of
the town council and the leakage has not been rectified after more
than a year.
My wooden floor and paintwork have been damaged by the perpetual
wetness and I have lived in the newly-renovated flat for less than
two years.
My questions are: Isn't the HDB responsible for the leaking roof as
it built the flat? Who is going to solve the problem? Who is going
to compensate me for my damaged floor and paintwork?
