Debated in Parliament on 4 Feb 2025.
Mr Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim asked the Minister for National Development whether there are any updates on the Ministry's efforts to explore possible solutions to provide direct lift access to the blocks within the Keat Hong division of Chua Chu Kang Group Representation Constituency that currently lack direct lift access.
The Member may wish to refer to the written reply given by the Minister for National Development on 10 September 2024 in response to similar questions posed by Mr Ang Wei Neng, Mr Desmond Choo and Mr Liang Eng Hwa. [Please refer to "Number of HDB Households without Direct Lift Access and Use of Lift Access Housing Grant to Address This Issue", Official Report, 10 September 2024, Vol 95, Issue 141, Written Answers to Questions for Oral Answer not Answered by End of Question Time section.]
There are no further updates at this point.
I would like to assure the Member that the Housing and Development Board (HDB) will continue to look into ways to help residents with mobility challenges. I encourage households with accessibility needs to approach HDB to explore suitable options.
