BTO ‘Mould-Gate’: When Joy for New Homes in Singapore Decays​

https://www.ricemedia.co/bto-mould-gate-when-joy-for-new-homes-in-singapore-decays/

Amidst skyrocketing rentals, climbing costs of resale flats, and constantly oversubscribed BTO flats, the mould feels like another thorn in the scruffy garden of Singapore’s real estate market.

“When I saw the news recently, I was surprised that [it wasn’t just happening in] my area, but all around Sengkang and Punggol. Look, I’m not sure about other estates, but I know around Sengkang, if you take a jog or a walk along the river, you can see the damage for yourself—it’s quite terrible.”

According to the Ministry of National Development, town councils manage general Repair & Re-decoration (R&R) works, including repainting residential blocks. For multi-storey car parks, HDB manages R&R works on a seven-year cycle.

RICE asked Pasir-Ris Punggol Town Council—which handles the maintenance of Waterway Ridge and Waterway Terrace—why mould seems to affect new BTO estates regardless of whether they are near a water body. We have not received a reply at the time of publishing this story.

We reached out to Pasir Ris-Punggol and Choa Chu Kang Town council to ask what are the Town Councils’ plans in preventing the mould from recurring but have yet to receive a response at the time of publishing.

This could have been prevented if instead of pre-cast concrete you use actual bricks to build your flats. The only drawbacks are you won't build that tall and the construction takes a longer time to finish. But they're much more durable, and with the natural red-brown colour you won't need to paint over them. :cool:

Very nice. Got the Angkor Wat look and feel. Seng Kang residents don't need to travel to Cambodia also can have such a mystical experience everyday

Did the contractors 偷工减料? Or they might have used the inferior painting materials, rather than approved types?



You can look at the aluminium railings installed at the roads too, the green color starts to fade after just one year of installation. I am wondering did LTA really ensure the approved type of paint being used by the contractors? LTA being short changed? Any government agencies follow up the warranty given by the contractors? Yes?

Cos due to legal build of flats, water seepage into walls ,crack in inner flats,plus the low grade paint n also the base coat maybe water based paint,no oil base type,cos oil base more expensive now many flats inside leaking
