Mr Ho Kah Leong asked the Minister for Health when the second market in Jurong Town will be opened.

Mr Chua Sian Chin: Mr Speaker, Sir, Market II has been constructed by the Housing and Development Board for the Economic Development Board. Action is in progress to obtain formal approval from the Development Plan-fling Committee and the release of funds from the Development Planning Sub-Committee to enable my Ministry formally to operate Market II.

No itinerant or static hawkers are allowed in Taman Jurong. As there appears to be a need to provide marketing facilities to the residents of the blocks of flats near Market II, an early opening of Market II is proposed and is expected to be done early in 1969.
