Residents in Taman Jurong HDB Moved to Hotels Without Cost As Migrant Workers Relocate Into Flats Near There
Around 50 families have temporarily been moved out of their HDB flats at Yung Kuang Road as migrant workers in essential services relocate into vacant units in their blocks.
The families have been moved into put up at Genting hotel for free until the circuit breaker period ends.
This is to protect residents’ health and well being and enforce safe distancing, HDB said.
You may be thinking Wah, free stay at hotel ah? I also want.
But some of these residents aren’t too pleased about the move.
Only Had 5 Days To Prepare
According to one resident, they were all taken by surprise because they were given a letter notifying them of the move at the “last minute”.
Residents received letters from HDB on 7 April, telling them about the situation, but workers began moving in just 5 days later.
And it’s not just that.
Residents are now also completely barred from returning to their flats because several floors are being set aside for workers awaiting the results of Covid-19 swab tests.
So, if one of them accidentally left their phone and laptop at home, they’ll have to say goodbye to TikTok for a couple of weeks.
Food Vouchers & Expensive Laundry
The only apparent cost for residents at Genting hotel is laundry, with washing and drying clothes costing $10 each.
However, all these residents are given $15 worth of food vouchers every day for this circuit breaker period, so it’s not all bad.
