Whichever Housing Board town they live in and its relative popularity, Singaporeans can be assured that each town will be well planned, well maintained, and have up-to-date amenities that meet their living needs, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday.
It is inevitable that some towns are more popular than others, but the Government strives very hard to make every HDB town highly liveable, with schools, clinics, food places, sports facilities and good transport connectivity within the town and also with the rest of the island, said PM Lee.
"This is the PAP government's promise to all Singaporeans: that your HDB flat will be both a good home for you and your family, and a valuable nest egg for your retirement," he said.
Singaporeans know the country's public housing system works, he added. "With your support, we will continue to keep this system running well, and we will deliver on our promise to Singaporeans for many more years to come." PM Lee was speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony for Chong Pang City, a new 0.9ha, seven-storey integrated development in Yishun.
When completed in 2027, the community hub will rejuvenate the 40-year-old neighbourhood with new facilities such as swimming pools, a jogging track, fitness studios, a gymnasium and shops such as a supermarket.
