Block eligible for other upgrading schemes
WE THANK Ms Pamela Hoo for last Saturday's letter, 'Left out of Sers'. The Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers) is implemented only for old HDB precincts that can be redeveloped to optimise land use. Blocks 110, 111, 113 and 114 Bukit Merah View were identified for Sers based on this principle.
Block 116 is physically separated from the Sers precinct by Bukit Merah View road and Block 115 (market and food centre). Together with the market and food centre, the shops and eating houses in Block 116 form an integral focal point of the community to serve the needs of the surrounding residents.
While Block 116 is not suitable for Sers, it is eligible for other upgrading programmes that can improve lift access and the conditions of the flats. Details will be announced when the plans for the block are firmed up.
