An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Joo Chiat could become the first all-private-property constituency in Singapore when its remaining four Housing Board blocks are demolished under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme.

Its Member of Parliament, Mr Charles Chong, said yesterday: "Within the next two or three years, all the four blocks will be resettled and Joo Chiat will be the only constituency where it is 100 per cent private property - condos and landed property - which makes it a bit different from the other constituencies."

The four HDB blocks along East Coast Road are 48 years old and have a total of 129 housing units.

These are home to 1 per cent of the single member constituency's 37,000 residents.
