where are these 2 blocks of flats?

the two blocks of flats (shown below) look like hdb flats. in fact, they were built by the hdb but the land belongs to the malaysian authorities (ktm). most of the cars in the parking lots have malaysian, mostly johor, registration plates but there are also a few singapore cars. i think the hdb has no jurisdiction here, so there is no need to display the hdb or ura coupons.

from afar, they may be mistaken for hdb flats but once you get closer, you can see that the flats have not been well taken care of. in fact, you get the feeling that the place is going to be abandoned soon. the two blocks are accessible to all and sundry. however, the area beyond the fence is out of bounds because that is where the malaysian trains are shunted.



i remember visiting this area in the 60s. i had a schoolmate whose father worked for the malayan railway. they lived in the quarters provided by the malayan railway authorities. the grey blocks of flats were given names like kedah, perlis and perak. these state name blocks have since been replaced by melati and kemuning.
