Joo Chiat is the first constituency with no poor people

[Extremist]

Joo Chiat could become the first all-private-property constituency in Singapore when its remaining four Housing Board blocks are demolished under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme.

Its Member of Parliament, Mr Charles Chong, said yesterday: "Within the next two or three years, all the four blocks will be resettled and Joo Chiat will be the only constituency where it is 100 per cent private property - condos and landed property - which makes it a bit different from the other constituencies."

The four HDB blocks along East Coast Road are 48 years old and have a total of 129 housing units.

These are home to 1 per cent of the single member constituency's 37,000 residents.

the majority of 4 blocks residents must be WP supporters.

Put a wall around Joo Chiat to create an exclusive gated community. Keep the undesirables away.

Stay private housing doesn't necessarily mean rich. It's like wear Rolex but wallet kosong.

Technically, I believe the blocks he is referring to are in Siglap but for reasons of constituency representation fall into the Joo Chiat SMC.
They are directly facing Siglap Centre and should really belong in East Coast GRC.

Really? The Viets must be quite rich. Business must be booming.

Hey this is Singapore. Geographical accuracy doesn't matter, especially when it comes to politics.
