Dreams of a new home have apparently turned into a living nightmare for a group of residents of Punggol Point Cove, as they grapple with a litany of defects in their recently-completed BTO flats.

Uneven walls, hollow structures and water ponding: Punggol BTO residents cannot move in as defects remain

He lamented that his flat had holes, the windows bore dents and scratches, and his master bathroom sustained water ponding. However, the initial positive response in the correspondence tapered off and he received a message stating that the evidence he sent to the MP via WhatsApp had been deleted "to protect privacy and confidential information".

Some residents also claimed they were advised by BSC to "slam it hard" to close poorly-fitted bomb shelter and bedroom doors. Others found holes in their walls taped up and painted over after BSC rectification. "By the time they finished the second and third rounds of work on the windows, more than two months had passed since we collected our keys."

The spokesperson added: "Since the start of BSC operations at Punggol Point Cove, more than 90 per cent of the defects reported were rectified within 14 working days. This is in-line with the overall rectification rate for new BTO projects.
