Implementing PAB at HDB rental housing block
An estimated 10,000 housing units across 53 rental housing blocks are set to be equipped with PABs. Currently, over 6,000 units in 36 blocks have already been fitted with the devices.
From November 2019 to September 2021, the installed PABs responded to 415 emergency cases, addressing various concerns including medical, social, and crime-related issues. Below are testimonies from two PAB users:
User testimony: Mdm A
“From 9pm to 3am… my leg was so painful. I couldn’t get out of bed… I can’t walk so I pressed the button for help. My son lives in Woodlands, too far away from me. I would have taken a taxi ride to hospital myself, but at 3am… where can I find a taxi?”
User testimony: Mr T
“I was feeling breathless, I can’t reach the phone. I can’t even tell the 995 phone operator my address even if I can walk to my phone. Your system no need to give address, they knew… and they sent the ambulance to me.”
