Photo Blog : Government Housing

It's been a while since I put up a photo. Took this today in the suburb of Ang Mo Kio. It's one of the oldest suburbs here in Singapore.

As Singapore is a small country with heaps of people, there came a time where not everyone could be housed on landed properties. Not only was space a limitation, but there was just no where else to build houses. The government came up with some housing flats. And looking at the picture, you can tell that they've spent some money and effort to keep it looking like brand new. No signs of weathered moss on the walls or rusty window fittings.

These days, one can still tell the age of a particular housing block by the length of the block. This one is one of the older ones, I count about 25 units on one level.
