Residents at another recently-completed Build-To-Order (BTO) project in Sumang Lane at Punggol West are complaining about mouldy facades, following a similar report of mould in BTO project Anchorvale Parkview in Sengkang.

Several residents in affected blocks in Sumang Lane said that they are worried about mould on the Housing and Development Board (HDB) blocks, although one noted they lived near a large forest which could contribute to the problem.

The affected blocks in Sumang Lane are part of a BTO project called Matilda Court.

The HDB said on Wednesday that it was aware of mould forming at the two BTO projects and is "looking into the matter" with the relevant town councils.

On Monday, a Facebook user by the name of James Ng posted photos of Block 233 Sumang Lane in a Facebook group called "complaint Singapore", showing mould growing on the exterior of the flats.

He said in his post that the flat is only six-years old, questioning what went wrong in the paint used by the HDB contractors.
