The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister (Inche Yaacob Bin Mohamed) (for the Prime Minister): (In Malay): Mr Speaker, I have been asked by the Hon. the Prime Minister to reply to this. Investigations for providing such lights are now being investigated, after which the proposals will be submitted to the Rural Sub-Committee for consideration. Street lights in this kampong will be considered after the supply of electricity :to Kampong Kranji has been implemented.

Mr Ong Chang Sam: (In Mandarin): Does the Parliamentary Secretary know that since 1958, the Government has already ordered a supply of electricity there?
