Three blocks of HUDC flats located in Potong Pasir are now a step closer to privatisation, according to The Straits Times.

At the end of a three-day signature collection drive, around 150 of the 175 households in Blocks 110, 111 and 112 along Potong Pasir Avenue 1 had signed on the dotted line, giving their support.

The 85 percent support exceeds the minimum 75 percent required for privatisation to begin. With this development, the only HUDC estate in Singapore that has not been given the go-ahead for privatisation is Braddell View.

Sitoh Yih Pin, MP for Potong Pasir, said he was surprised by the residents' response, adding that “the residents have shown their support and many have signed.”

“We'll still try to get more signatures as some of them are overseas,” he noted.
