SINGAPORE - When Hayley Tai, 30, gets the keys to her new Build-To-Order (BTO) flat at Tampines GreenOpal in May, the bridge crossing Bedok Canal to connect to the MRT station will still not be ready, making it less convenient for the marketing manager to get to work. «I guess it would take me an additional 15 minutes to get to work, so that's a bit of an inconvenience,» she said. To better time the completion of key infrastructure and essential services, a multi-agency committee has been set up to minimise inconveniences to owners when they move into their new BTO flats. Announcing the nationwide initiative on April 12 at the Housing Board's roadshow for home owners moving into Tampines GreenOpal, Senior Minister of State for National Development Tan Kiat How said: «With an extensive building programme, it is even more important for us to strengthen our planning and coordination efforts, to shape a better moving-in experience for new residents.» Between 2025 and 2030, around 130,000 BTO flats will be completed.

A 69-year-old man was arrested for drink driving after his van crashed into seven vehicles at a carpark in Ang Mo Kio. A video posted to the Singapore Roads Accident Facebook page on Saturday (April 12) morning showed the aftermath of the incident, which occurred in the wee hours. The short clip, believed to be taken by a resident in the area, captured damaged vehicles in the open-air carpark. One vehicle had its rear smashed while several other cars suffered damage to their front bumpers and headlights. Another video taken from the dashboard camera of a parked vehicle showed a white van zooming past and hitting a blue car. Police told AsiaOne that they were alerted to the incident involving a van and seven parked vehicles on Saturday at about 12.45am. The incident occurred at Block 218 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1. Police said the van driver was arrested for drink driving and that investigations are ongoing. According to Shin Min Daily News, the van remained at the scene when reporters visited the carpark the next morning. The front of the van and its left door were visibly damaged.
