Mr Ng Kah Ting asked the Minister for National Development and Communications to ascertain from the Housing and Development Board whether flatted factories will be built in the vicinity of Punggol Estate, and if so, when plans will be implemented and what are the types of industries proposed.

Mr Lim Kim San: Currently, there are no plans for industrial development in the vicinity of the Punggol Estate within the Punggol Constituency. However, in the nearby Teck Hock Estate, the development of an industrial estate is being planned. The types of industries which will be accommodated in this industrial estate include sauce factory, workshops for repairing tractors and heavy machinery and manufacture of wooden boxes.
