SINGAPORE – Some Choa Chu Kang residents are seeing red over having to fork out at least $130 to play on the futsal pitch in a new community sports facility.
Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao reported on Wednesday that the futsal pitch at The Arena @ Keat Hong costs at least $130 for an hour of play, including the deposit, which drew the ire of residents. Student Syed Nabeel, 9, said that the cost was prohibitive, and that he had played at the Arena three times, only because his friends had already booked the venue.
CCKTC added that from July 1 this year, Choa Chu Kang residents can book free sessions for non-commercial use on Sundays from 9am to 3pm on a first-come-first-served basis.
