SINGAPORE — A potential WP candidate expected to fill the empty seat in Sengkang GRC has assured residents in Raeesah Khan's former ward of Compassvale that he will work to address lift issues in the estate. In an Instagram post on April 1, Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik, a senior property manager at Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC), said he will work closely with the WP MPs in Sengkang GRC to identify and address the root causes of these lift problems. Sharing photos of his house visits, he said Compassvale residents flagged these concerns about lifts, which «are a crucial mode of vertical transport in Singapore, especially for the elderly».
