Residents of a Bedok North HDB block had to climb multiple flights of stairs after both lifts broke down on Oct 4, with one lift already out of service for more than a week before the second one failed.
Stomper R said both lifts at Block 516 Bedok North Avenue 2 were not working on Oct 4, leaving elderly residents and wheelchair users without lift access.
According to the Stomper, one lift — Lift A — had already been faulty for more than seven days when Lift B broke down at about 9am. By 4pm, Lift B was still not working.
“My family and I had to walk down and climb up many storeys, and everyone is still having soreness in our calves,” said the Stomper, who declined to share the floor he lives on for privacy reasons.
According to R, another neighbour living on a lower floor had reportedly climbed up and down the stairs three times that day.
