“Two hours to park the car and take a lift to my flat”, says Dawson HDB resident<\/h2>\n

Although the publicly accessible rooftop gardens of Dawson SkyVille and SkyTerrace regularly drawn crowds, residents felt that the situation on the eve of 2021 was the worst by far in the five years since the developments were completed. “[It] took me nearly two hours to park the car and take a lift to my flat, this is ridiculous,” a resident commented on the Facebook post<\/a> highlighting the situation that night.<\/p>\n
