Dr Tan Wu Meng asked the Minister for National Development what is the current number and proportion of HDB flats that have multi-step main entrances, broken down by decade of construction.

Mr Desmond Lee: HDB flats are designed with a variety of configurations. Some of the older flats built in the 1970s and 1980s were designed with multi-step entrances so that their windows could be raised above the eye level of passers-by for improved privacy. About 170,000 HDB flats, or 17% of all HDB flats, were designed with multi-step entrances.

The breakdown of HDB flats with multi-step entrances based on the year of completion is shown in the table below.
