Encik Abbas Abu Amin asked the Minister for Home Affairs whether his Ministry will set up a Neighbourhood Police Post earlier than scheduled at Ayer Rajah Estate (Dover Road).

The Minister for Home Affairs (Prof. S. Jayakumar): Mr Speaker, Sir, a total of 91 Neighbourhood Police Posts will be set up in phases by 1989. So far, 34 NPPs have been set up in four Police Divisions, namely, Toa Payoh, Paya Lebar, Jurong and Queenstown. The rest of the NPPs will be set up at a rate of 14-15 per year.

The NPP for Pasir Panjang Constituency will be built at Block 3, Dover Crescent, in the second half of this year. We are not able to set it up ahead of schedule due to manpower, training and other constraints.
