  • More Trouble At Trivelis As Shower Screen Shatters

    More Trouble At Trivelis As Shower Screen Shatters

    Two more residents at premium housing development Trivelis have complained about shattered glass shower panels in their flats.

    Logistics manager Jaime Chen told The Straits Times that her husband found out the shower panel in the common bathroom had shattered when he went to the four-room flat on Thursday to install safety films on the glass panels with several workers.

    The developer, EL Development, had agreed to provide safety films for free to all residents after complaints of shattered glass panels at the Design, Build, and Sell Scheme (DBSS) project.

    Madam Chen said: “We collected the keys in January but thankfully we are not living here yet or someone may have been injured by the shattered glass.”

    The 34-year-old added that the developer will replace the shattered panel but she is worried about its quality. She also complained of other defects including crack lines on the wall, chipped furniture and hollow floor tiles.

    Mr Christopher Tan, 36, said the glass panel in his common bathroom shattered even after the safety film was pasted. He discovered the damage when he went to his four-room unit on Wednesday. Mr Tan, who is self-employed in the food and beverage industry said: “(The film) only prevents the shattered pieces from falling all over the floor. It does not address the quality control of the screens. A lot of us are worried about the possible dangers to old folks and kids when they use the bathrooms.”

    A spokesman for EL Development confirmed that there were two cases of shattered shower glass panels in August. That makes it a total of 11 cases out of about 5,400 shower screen panels in Trivelis. He added that all shattered panels will be replaced free-of-charge.

    He also said that the safety films does not prevent shattering but improves safety.

    “We have acceded to the residents’ request (for the safety films) as part of the goodwill package to give them a piece of mind.”

    Trivelis made headlines in recent months after complaints about defects surfaced. Around 400 owners, who started collecting their keys in January, found problems from defective stove knobs to rusty dish racks to poor quality laminate flooring. The common corridor along 40 units was also prone to flooding during heavy rain.

    The developer gave a “goodwill package” in May, offering them safety films, a new dish rack and extended the warranty on the laminate flooring from a year to 10 years.

  • Move To Ease Traffic Congestion In Punggol, Sengkang, To Kick In End-September

    Move To Ease Traffic Congestion In Punggol, Sengkang, To Kick In End-September

    From end September, drivers entering Sengkang and Punggol towns from Tampines Expressway (TPE) can enjoy smooth travel, even during peak hours, according to the Pasir Ris-Punggol and Punggol East Grassroots Organisations and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Friday (Aug 28).

    Over the past year, residents have complained about the bottleneck in traffic at the Sengkang-Punggol exit, which was the result of two bus lanes that opened in 2014. The bus lanes serve two bus stops and 11 bus services, while motorists currently travel on the other two lanes.

    The bottleneck issue was brought up to the Chairperson of the Public Transport and Traffic Committee for Punggol North Loke Choon Wai, and Chairman of the Punggol East Citizens’ Consultative Committee Raymond Lye.

    “When the bus stop opened in August last year, I think what became apparent very soon was that the traffic flow changed, because there were two dedicated bus lanes and there were two car lanes,” said Mr Lye. “So when the bus stop opened, I think the bus users were very happy because the bus stop was generally clear all the time for the buses, so the buses had a very smooth journey.

    “But for the car owners, they realised that the traffic flow became worse. Jams started to build up, and during peak periods the jam could go all the way back to the KPE exit into the TPE.”

    Mr Lye went on to explain that they had received feedback that the bus lanes were sometimes relatively empty while motorists faced congestion in the other two lanes during peak hour.

    “I think some of the car owners got a little bit frustrated when they were caught in the jam, and they started driving into the bus lane,” he said, adding that when there appeared to be more unhappiness when traffic enforcers took photos of motorists who drove through the bus lanes.

    “It’s like, ‘look, the car lanes are congested, the bus lanes are empty, so when I use the bus lanes, I’m not causing any congestion for the buses, so why are you doing this?’” said Mr Lye.

    After months of discussions with the LTA, motorists will be able to travel on the outer bus lane, although they must still give way to buses when on this lane. The lane will feature a second Mandatory Give-Way To Bus road marking.

    This will benefit buses exiting the first bus stop at the exit, before they continue straight on to TPE or turn right towards Punggol Town. It is expected to ease traffic congestion, and ensure commuters can continue enjoying smooth rides while travelling on public transport.

    Mr Teo Ser Luck, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, and Vice Chairman of Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council Janil Puthucheary, who lobbied for the enhancements to improve traffic at the exit, welcomed the approval of the proposed solution.

    “This new bus lane enhancement is actually quite useful, because it gives the bus the right and also a path that is clear to bring our residents home,” said Mr Teo.

    Two-Hour Shouting Match Between Seller And Buyer In HDB Dispute

    After the former owners were sent to jail, Madam Herni Fadhillah Saad thought she could finally move into the flat that she bought five years ago.

    Mr Lim Teck Choon, 59, and his wife, Madam Tan Poh Lee, were jailed for contempt of court after defying court orders to vacate the flat.

    But after they were released on Thursday evening, Madam Herni ended up in a two-hour shouting match with Mr Lim after he showed up at the flat.

    Madam Herni told The New Paper on Friday that she had gone to the flat at Bedok South Road at 10pm on Thursday and was shocked to see Mr Lim standing outside the door.

    ”When I asked him why he was there, he started shouting, insisting that it is his home,” she said. Mr Lim said he had returned to his old flat because his current rental flat was unliveable.

    A neighbour, who declined to be named, said she saw four policemen at the lift landing when she returned home at about 8.30pm.

    Mr Lim was sitting outside the flat.

    Another neighbour living a floor below, Madam Png Ah Hock, 75, said she heard shouting coming from upstairs at about 10pm.

    “The shouting was very loud and they sounded very fierce,” she said in Mandarin.

    “I didn’t go and take a look because I was so frightened. I stayed at home. I was too scared to open the door.”

    When TNP went there close to midnight, Mr Lim was sitting forlornly outside the flat.
