Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 3: Dennis Tan on same-floor lift access for all HDB flats
In parliament on Tuesday (Mar 4), MP Dennis Tan once again raised the issue of lift upgrading for five blocks of HDB flats in Hougang SMC, where there are still some units that do not have same-floor lift access. He noted that the lack of same-floor lift access is a “very real issue” for some affected residents, especially those with mobility needs. Noting that there were about 140 blocks with units without same-floor lift access as of January 2023, he sought clarification from the National Development Minister on the total number of such blocks where the Lift Upgrading Programme has since been offered or made available. He also called on the government to consider giving same-floor lift access to all HDB flats.
