The 33-year-old also grew up in the area and studied at nearby Woodlands Secondary School. Mr Ishak, a home renovation contractor, said he intends to stay in his current three-room flat for as long as he can. Still, he is unsure about moving to the new flats at Woodlands Street 13 as he is wary of the more compact Build-to-Order flats. "I don't intend to wait six years for the new flats," he added. "We just renovated, so we already spent quite a sum of money," he added. "But I will try," he added. "Everyone in this block knows each other."

So you do get certain advantages,” the MP for Marsiling-Yew Tee Group Representation Constituency told TODAY in a phone interview. “So if going to the new flat means everything will be covered, then our burden is relieved.” “The first thing I’m scared of is that the new flats are very small,” said Mdm Devi, who lives in a four-room corner unit at Block 213 with her children and three grandchildren. The flats at blocks 212 to 218 were built in 1980 and 1982. With the S$30,000 now, I may be able to pay for renovation,” he said.
