To provide greater privacy for HDB residents,the government has stopped building blocks with long common corridors. Now,to curb the loosening of community bonds,it is encouraging people to meet one another more often. All these efforts are praiseworthy.

• 当局采取主动，设法在让居民有隐私(所以不再建长走廊的组屋)的同时，提高人们见面的机会，确实值得鼓励。
