Mr Hwang Soo Jin asked the Minister for National Development and Communications (a) whether the work on the construction of the rural centre at Lorong Mekola in Jalan Kayu constituency has commenced; (b) how many units of flats will there be; and (c) if he will give an assurance that no shophouses will be constructed at the centre in view of the fact that there is already an excess of shophouses at nearby Jalan Kayu and the shopping centre at Seletar Road.

Dr Tan Eng Liang (for the Minister for National Development and Communications): Mr Speaker, Sir, work on the construction of the rural centre at Lorong Mekola in the Jalan Kayu Constituency will commence in mid-June, 1977.

A total of 282 units of flats will be built.

The Centre will have two eating houses and eight shops which will cater for the trades related to farming activities.
