The first six blocks in Hougang picked for the Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP) are Blocks 351, 352, and 354 to 357 in Hougang Avenue 7.

The opposition ward’s People’s Action Party (PAP) grassroots adviser Eric Low disclosed this at a community event yesterday, adding that seven Hougang precincts have been identified for the LUP.

On Friday, PAP grassroots adviser Sitoh Yih Pin named nine blocks in opposition ward Potong Pasir which have been selected for the programme.

Blocks picked for the LUP will get lift landings on every floor. Owners of 442 units in the six blocks – mostly 25-year-old four-room flats – will have to decide whether to join the programme.

The two PAP advisers confirmed on Friday that a number of blocks in Potong Pasir and Hougang have been picked for the LUP.

Yesterday, Mr Eric Low said he had met Hougang MP Low Thia Khiang twice to discuss which precinct should get priority. They chose the Avenue 7 blocks as being more manageable for a first-time project. Continue reading →

IN JULY, the two opposition wards of Hougang and Potong Pasir were told they would get their much-awaited lift upgrading earlier than expected.

Last night, it was officially confirmed that the Government had picked the blocks that would get a lift landing on every floor.

The announcement came from the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) grassroots advisers in both wards, which had been told after the 2006 General Election that they would be last in line for the Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP).

The adviser in Potong Pasir, Mr Sitoh Yih Pin, said nine blocks had been picked for the LUP. They are Blocks 101 to 109 in Potong Pasir Avenue 1.

Mr Sitoh, the PAP’s candidate in Potong Pasir in the last two general elections, added: ‘I’m very happy the LUP is coming to Potong Pasir.

‘This new facility will certainly benefit our residents, especially our senior citizens. I look forward to successfully implementing this project in our estate.’

He will be sending out a circular to residents in the selected blocks soon. Continue reading →
