Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song (Aljunied): Sir, can I ask the Senior Minister of State if the 80% to 85% coverage includes car parks in HDB estates? Because some residents in my new estate in Tampines have reported some patchy coverage.
Ms Sim Ann: Sir, I have with me a list of areas that are excluded from the framework where IMDA sets out a baseline requirement of 85% coverage.
The areas excluded are those where human traffic is transient, and this includes bomb shelters, store rooms, toilets within individual premises, lifts, plant rooms, mechanical and engineering (M&E) rooms, lift motor rooms, lift houses, water tank areas, warehouses, ventilation facilities, vaults, in-building car parks located at second levels of basements and below, all in-home basements of private landed residential properties, mechanical and plant facilities, rooms and emergency stairways.
