poor maintenance or no maintenance?

who would want to use this 'field'? the grass is so overgrown that your football might get lost in the thicket.

bukit batok hostel at 10 de souza avenue, formerly known as bukit batok boys' home, used to be a rehabilitation centre for males older than 16 but who had been placed on probation before aged 16. i know at least one former monk's hill student who was a resident at the home.

today, it no longer serves as a home for young offenders. it is now managed by permas and the apartments are let out to members of the public. at least, there is a notice that says the place is available for rent.

next to it used to be the bukit batok primary school. until the end of 2006, it was used by chij bukit timah as its temporary premises.
