4843. HISTORY SINGAPORE. Demolition of Redhill SIT flats in progress

14 Jun 2023.

A large part of Redhill Estate which is one of the oldest public housing estates in Singapore has been demolished. The video shows the remaining 7-storey block near the Bukit Merah Community Centre awaiting its turn.

My old primary school was Bukit Merah North Primary School which was located near to the Community Centre. It has long been demolished together with Bukit Merah South Primary School and Redhill Primary School. They are replaced by Gan Eng Seng school. 

Redhill Estate was built by the S.I.T (Singapore Improvement Trust) set up during the post-war years to build public housing. It is the precursor of the HDB (Housing Board).

The shutterspeed 1/125 sec will be sufficient as the blocks are not moving unlike birds where 1/1000 sec or more may be necessary.
