Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim on accessibility solutions for wheelchair-bound residents in HDB flats where lift upgrading remains unfeasible
Around 99 per cent of all HDB blocks have been either built with direct lift access or benefited from the Lift Upgrading Programme (LUP). About one per cent of blocks have not been able to benefit from LUP due to high costs or technical constraints. Minister of State for National Development Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim urged those affected to take advantage of grants available to buy a replacement flat with direct lift access. Households with pressing accessibility needs can also approach HDB for help. He was replying to an MP’s questions in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 5).
