Block 81 Toa Payoh - GEC Express elevators

17 October 2020, 1504 to 1526 | 81 Lorong 4 Toa Payoh, Singapore 310081, Residential HDB (Housing Development Board) building.

Sad to know that these elevators will be replaced soon by Mitsubishi Singapore (MSG) in a few months' time. Hopefully their MSG elevator replacements retain the large capacity of 16 people, else that would be a damn awful, disappointing downgrade to smaller, crappier elevators.

Lift A seems to be in a worse condition than Lift B. Its ventilator is very noisy, its announcements were softer than Lift B and it felt slightly shakier than Lift B when moving up/down. Its buzzer (to tell that the elevator has arrived) has also worn out. If possible, I do hope that they replace Lift A first, then Lift B.

Lift B's interior floor indicator has not been replaced as well. I believe the interior buttons for both elevators were also modernized to from circular to squarish ones?
