SINGAPORE: While more than 2,000 eligible blocks in Singapore wait for new lifts which will stop at every floor, two blocks in Jurong West got their chance to vote on this issue on Friday evening.
Residents of blocks 556 and 558 will get lift upgrading if at least 75 percent of them vote in favour of it.
And they need to pay only about 12.5 percent of the upgrading costs as the rest will be absorbed by the Jurong Town Council.
Minister from the Prime Minister's Office Lim Boon Heng officiated at the polling ceremony.
He also took time to meet residents and clarify their concerns.
Polling will end next Monday.
