Not only that. When the government changed the old lifts which only stopped at the 5th and 9th floors to new ones which stop at every floor, every household had to pay for it
Iirc, the government paid 95% and households paid the balance 5%.
So those who live on the 2nd floor want to get their money's worth even though it's good exercise to walk plus sometimes it's even faster than waiting for the lift.

The lifts at my condo are reaching their end-of-life, and in urgent need for replacement. Many residents - including children and the elderly - have been trapped inside over the past few years. However, there are several owners of ground floor units who have been blocking the replacement of these elevators owing to the estimated cost of $17K per household. It is obvious that they feel that the lifts are of little to no use for them. This may sound selfish, but I guess $17K is a lot of money even to condo residents.

It must be quite an old condo. Btw, the purpose of paying the sinking funds on top of the monthly maintenance fees is for such major renovations.
Responsible residents shd help check how the funds are used and alert everyone when the amount is running low

I think nobody would nind if it's an elderly person. They way they enter and exit the lift is like such a big effort already, so let's not even talk about climbing the stairs.
Peepur are pissed off only if they see young men and women...

Even though the condo is at Bukit Timah, many of the residents are asset rich retirees who may not wish to fork out so much money for the replacement of the lifts. I am referring especially to the ground floor residents who are strongly opposing the move. The development is slightly more than 20 years old, so the elevator system needs a change since the spare parts will no longer be available in a few years' time.

If many of ur condo residents cannot do anymore reno like replacement of lfts or because sinking fund is too low, just get the MCST to initiate an enbloc from property developers. Now got many China developers eyeing this whole island due to kick out and block by angmoh countries. After November if Trump win, we will definitely confirm be these developers battle ground. Just wait and see if u dun believe me..
