flag Two Tiong Bahru HDB blocks missed HIP approval by narrow margins despite community efforts.

flag Two 1949-built HDB blocks in Singapore’s Tiong Bahru narrowly missed qualifying for the Home Improvement Programme, falling just one and two votes short of the 75% approval threshold. flag Despite strong community outreach and a 2025 poll showing promise, small block sizes amplified vote impact, and challenges like tenanted units and recent renovations reduced participation. flag Residents, including elderly ones, expressed disappointment over missed upgrades like leaky pipe replacements and senior-friendly fittings. flag MP Foo Ce Xiang plans to consult HDB on next steps, with HIP works expected to start in early 2026.
