Inche Mohd. Ali Bin Alwi asked the Prime Minister what is the total number of applications for allotment of land at Kampong Ayer Gemuroh Malay Settlement, and when will allotments of such land be made.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister (Mr Chan Sun Wing) (for the Prime Minister): Mr Speaker, Sir, I am asked by the Prime Minister to reply to this question.

Since June 1959, the total number of applications for allotment of land at Kampong Ayer Gemuroh Malay Settlement received is 23. Prior to that date, the number of applications received was 266, giving a total of 289 applications to date.

It is expected that allotments of land to the applicants will be made during the course of the year.

Inche Mohd. Ali: (In Malay): Mr Speaker, Sir, is it possible for the Parliamentary Secretary to clarify whether the low-cost housing programme will be carried out there and, if so, how many houses are to be built under such a scheme?
