OLD KALLANG AIRPORT ESTATE (Repairs to footpaths)

Mr Ng Yeow Chong asked the Minister for Law and National Development if he will request the Public Works Department to expedite the repairs to damaged and sunken footpaths along Old Airport Road and other estate roads in the Kallang and Guillemard Road Estates.

Mr E. W. Barker: Sir, the Public Works Department began repairs along Jalan Satu and Dakota Crescent on the 16th of October, 1974. Work is still in progress and is expected to be completed by about the middle of this month. Tenders will be called soon for repair works along the Old Airport Road and along Jalan Dua, Jalan Tiga and Jalan Empat in the Kallang and Guillemard Road Estates. Work will commence as soon as the tenders are accepted.
