An awning has been set up at the foot of the HDB block in Yishun where Singapore's new President, Halimah Yacob, is residing.
In a photo posted on All Singapore Stuff, workers can be seen putting up the scaffolding of the white tentage just outside the void deck of the block near a carpark gantry.
Another photo on the same site shows the completed structure with a police car parked underneath it.
According to The Straits Times, this is one of various changes to the estate since her inauguration on Thursday.
63-year-old Halimah Yacob has lived in her jumbo Yishun flat - comprised of a four-room and five-room flat - with her family for more than 30 years.
She plans to continue staying there as she carries out her duties as the eighth President of Singapore.
