it merged with the now defunct Tiong Bahru Secondary School (est. 1966), located several minutes' walk away. The site is now occupied by PSB Academy Delta campus. Dwellings Much of the housing in Bukit Ho Swee that existed at that time consisted of mainly one-room emergency flats and slightly bigger self- contained two room flats. A one-room rental emergency flat would cost roughly 20 dollars a month while a bigger two-room would cost only 4,000 dollar to buy. Citizens often squeezed their entire families in these tiny flats - studies have shown that at one time there could be up to 10 people living in the small space. Other bigger families would resort to splitting the family between two flats. Present Bukit Ho Swee is now a residential estate and little remains of its chaotic past. Tiong Bahru MRT station is the nearest MRT station. Nearby schools and educational institutions include Zhangde Primary School, Gan Eng Seng School, Henderson Secondary School, Outram Secondary School, PSB Academy and the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School. The entire Bukit Ho Swee town, and its neighbouring areas such as Delta Avenue estate and Indus Road is currently managed by Jalan Besar Town Council.
