Tiong Bahru Residents Object to Purple HDB Repainting
Residents of Blocks 9A and 9B in Tiong Bahru have raised concerns about the recent repainting of their HDB blocks in purple. They allege that no vote was conducted to approve this decision, leading to dissatisfaction among the residents.
Community Outcry
The objection to the repainting was evident as signs criticizing the decision were displayed within the vicinity of the blocks. The lack of a voting process and transparency in the decision-making process has sparked discontent among the residents.
MP’s Response
Member of Parliament (MP) Foo Cexiang, representing the Tiong Bahru constituency, has responded to the residents’ objections by calling for a temporary halt to the repainting project. This move aims to address the concerns raised by the residents and allow for further discussions on the matter.
