A year after public sector executive Jersha, 30, moved into her Tampines North Build-to-Order (BTO) unit with her husband, life in the estate isn’t quite as sweet as the couple had hoped it would be.<\/p>\n
This is down to the perplexing layout of the block, which has led to confused guests, irritated private-hire drivers, and multiple cancelled rides.<\/p>\n
With “extremely limited” access points \u2014 there is only one point of entry and exit for vehicles \u2014 Jersha told Stomp that it can take up to five minutes to drive to the couple’s block after turning in. This is coupled with multiple entrances, as well as “misleading” pathways and signs.<\/p>\n
“When (walking) through the blocks, you can’t see the outside, so you would have to blindly walk till you can find a sign,” said Jersha, who declined to give her surname.<\/p>\n
