Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.           Over the past 24 months, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) received 19 cases of claims for damages from private residential property owners in the Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency allegedly attributed to the North-South Corridor (NSC) construction along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6. After investigations, 18 cases were assessed not caused by the NSC works, and one recent case is still being assessed.

2.           As the assessment process typically involves detailed site inspections, the time taken to resolve each case depends on its complexity.
