There were no security by the Bishan-Toa Payoh Town Council in relation to the vandalism case in Toa Payoh this Wednesday. The coordinating Chairman of the People’s Action Party (PAP) Town Councils, Dr Teo Ho Pin, said this on Thursday.
The officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) were seen combing Block 85A Toa Payoh Lorong 4, a day after the vandalism took place. The roof level at that block of flats was painted with graffiti containing vulgarities seemingly directed at the ruling party. This was possibly the second time unauthorized persons have managed to get onto the rooftop of an HDB flat. In 2011, a foreign domestic worker’s body was found in a rooftop water tank in Sembawang. Dr Teo also stated that the PAP town councils take a serious view of the security and safety of roofs and water tanks at HDB blocks.
Dr Teo has been stating over the last three years that a security protocol is needed “The town councils have set up three lines of defence to make sure that (only) authorised personnel can go up to the rooftop of our HDB flats. So we have, first of all, secured locks to make sure that all the trap doors and all the doors are properly locked using a very robust lock system. We also make sure that our water tanks are all with brackets — they are all bolted down to make sure that nobody can vandalise (them). At the same time, we have an authorised access system where only authorised persons can go up the roof.”
