ALONG-AWAITED dream has come true for sisters Yap Siew Bee, 41, and Siew Thoo, 26, who have received a new low medium-cost home.
“I am so happy today and I can’t wait to move into our unit when it is completed,” said Siew Bee.
Siew Thoo said that previously, their large family of 10 all stayed under one roof.
