Z6 Block 157 House Visit, 7 April 2011

Last Thursday, Mr Wong Kan Seng conducted a house-to-house visit at Block 157 of Bishan East Zone 6 RC. Mr Wong was warmly welcomed by the residents who looked forward to their MP's visit. Many were eager to invite their MP into their home and shared generously the compliment for the fine work done by the Town Council as well as the grassroots. A shy resident who declined to be named, shared that the family did not have second thoughts paying a six-figure dollar difference as premium for a flat of the same size in Bishan compared to another housing estate. This is because the family is attracted to the good location and plentiful amenities in Bishan East Estate.

Mr Wong was accompanied by the Zone 6 RC members together with officers from HDB, Town Council, NEA, LTA and the police force.
