COMMUNITY CENTRE IN MOULMEIN

Mrs Devan Nair asked the Minister of Defence when a community centre can be provided for the residents of the Moulmein Constituency.

Dr Goh Keng Swee: The hon. Member will be pleased to know that her constituency ranks very high in the building programme of community centres. Her constituency, as well as Anson and Cairnhill, is the only constituency without a single community centre. They have priority over other constituencies. The trouble, of course, is to get land. If the hon. Member can help the People's Association in finding suitable land which is available at a reasonable price, she will be performing a service to everybody.
