Now, it’s faster and more convenient – it takes just 2 minutes to head out to Punggol Park for fresh air, or the nearby markets to buy my groceries and enjoy my favourite food. ”

Having just started out in our careers, we are happy that our new flat is affordably priced, and to receive the maximum amount of $80,000 under the Enhanced Housing Grant.”
