IN THE past, one could smell Punggol even before catching sight of the area, thanks to its pig farms and fishing port. Still, many braved the stench to make it to Punggol for the seafood restaurants at the end of the road. But Punggol today is a model waterfront town in the making.
Cranes dot the skyline and construction workers have taken over from the farmers.
The first occupants of the new flats can expect to collect their keys by the end of this year. The new estate will also be the first here to feature the much-publicised flats without partitions, to enable the residents to go for the interior design of their choice. The new Punggol promises to be exciting, with leisure and recreational facilities within easy reach of the residents. To be developed over the next 17 years, it looks set to provide a different standard of living, compared to the other estates in Singapore. All rights reserved.
