Block 115 and Block 119 Marsiling Rise will undergo lift upgrading after 95 per cent of residents voted in favour of the project at the two Housing Board blocks. Currently, the lifts at the blocks stop only at the first, fifth, ninth and 12th storeys.

Blocks 115 and 119 in Marsiling Rise were selected for HDB’s lift upgrading programme in December 2020.
