Total Annual Imputed Rental Value of Properties Allocated to Anchor Operators and Partner Operators of Preschool Services

Mr Kenneth Tiong Boon Kiat asked the Minister for Social and Family Development (a) what is the total estimated annual imputed rental value of all properties ultimately allocated to ECDA's Anchor Operators and Partner Operators for preschool services for which market-rate rent is not charged; and (b) how does the Ministry factor this in-kind subsidy when evaluating the financial efficiency of these preferential allocation schemes.

Mr Masagos Zulkifli B M M: Anchor Operator centres allocated Housing Development Board premises by the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) are charged similar rental rates as other socio-communal facilities. ECDA does not currently allocate any sites to Partner Operator centres.
