Feb 23, 2015
Mrs Lina Chiam: To ask the Minister for National Development to date,
(a) how many precincts in Potong Pasir constituency are still undergoing the Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP);
(b) what are the reasons for the delayed LUP's completion date which should be by end-2014 according to the Government's schedule; and
(c) what is the estimated time frame for the remaining new lifts to be installed.
Answer:
In the Potong Pasir Constituency, we have committed to carrying out Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP) in six precincts. As at end 2014, HDB has completed and put into operation all the new lifts in the six precincts.
The remaining works are to shut down the existing lifts which are no longer required, or to upgrade the others. We target to complete this work this year.
