Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for National Development whether the Government plans to offer land for landed housing development in the next three years to meet the demand for such housing.

Mr Lawrence Wong: There is currently a substantial supply of about 2,300 landed housing units in the pipeline, the bulk of which remains unsold.

Hence, we do not have any plans to provide land for new landed housing developments in the near term.

As the unsold inventory is cleared, we will consider releasing more land for new landed housing developments, to better meet the needs of Singaporeans who prefer to live in landed homes.
