The article “‘ Have to get a pail each time it rains’: Serangoon HDB residents with leaking ceilings
I, too, am a resident of Serangoon Avenue 4 and I can understand how those living in HDB flats on the same street are suffering because of leaking ceilings.
Ever since we moved in in 2000, my family and I have had to deal with a leaking ceiling in our flat. There is not one but multiple leaks. Over the years, we have informed the town council on multiple occasions about these leaks.
Despite its best efforts to fix the problem several times, the repairs have not been effective. Leaks still occur when there is a heavy downpour. This causes much distress for my family. Living on the top floor, we constantly fear that the roof might one day collapse.
It is extremely frustrating when we continue to see leaks in our flat, especially after we have been told by the town council that repair works have been carried out.
We hope the authorities will look more closely at resolving this matter.
