u mean the yellow pads?

Part of the gov's plan to make HDB estates more disable friendly.

my estate is getting those too. along with ramps all over to connect every block.

Ponders SG

Because PAP Wards got too much money since the money set aside for Potong Pasir did not get used up.

TS…your title has the answer already…

MyPillowTalks SG

but the ramps hor, i tink the disabled person may not be strong enough ti push themselves up

Pitot SG

precisely..

my estate is hilly so there are quite a number of ramps..

i think the person has to be darn strong to go up n down all these ramps without outside help.

I felt that these pads are not really anti-slip. When I stepped on them and turned my feet (I was wearing track shoes), I felt my shoes turning easily as compared when I did that on the cemented path on a rainy day. Only when I tried this on a day that was not raining then I felt that there was traction between the soles and the pads.
