Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong yesterday reiterated the government’s commitment to improve the conditions and amenities in older housing estates like East Coast and Yishun.
Speaking at the opening of My Waterway@Punggol, PM Lee said that the government will coordinate with the community and residents to improve old neighbourhoods.
Dubbed the “Venice of Punggol”, the waterway was built on a S$225 million budget. The project comes as Punggol is set to house approximately 23,000 families by the end of this year.
“Each estate will not just be a set of block of flats or precincts, but a home for Singaporeans, a community of residents, a place where friendships are made and memories are formed,” he said.
Earlier this year, the government pledged to set aside S$10 billion over the next decade for upgrading projects.
