The Fortedale Revisited on 6 June 2000

[Cecil Lee]

This picture was taken today (6 June 2000) of the Fortredale.
On this side of the building (there are two sides), at the higher floors it shows only one unit being occupied.
In a city like Singapore, where apartments are snapped up the moment they are `sold', there seems to be few take up (actually staying) in these apartments.
Earlier, I mentioned that the windows of this apartment are not conducive for a humid and hot city like Singapore.
In fact, most Singaporeans have also, I believe found it not `practical' to stay in.
In my opinion, the curtains in the apartment shown, looks `make-shift', and (unfortunately) reminds one of a refugee camp.
