Question A3
Purpose
This question is to obtain the actual year of completion of the construction of the LQ.
How to ask the question
Ask question as stated in questionnaire.
How to record the answer
Record the year given in the box provided.
If the respondent is unable to answer, try to probe and ask further questions as to whether the LQ was in existence during the Emergency Period (1948-1960), Independence Day (1957), 1970 and 1980 Census or any local significant event.
If the respondent is unable to give the exact year, try to estimate the "age" of the LQ and write on the dotted line.
If the respondent does not know the year of construction or the age of the LQ, then record "Not Known" on the dotted line.
For housing units within the same housing block (e.g., terrace houses), the year of construction of all units in the housing block should be the same.
If there is major renovation to the LQ (more than 50%), record the year in which the renovation was completed.
