VACANT LAND ABOVE MRT STATION AT TOA PAYOH CENTRAL (Development plans)

Mr Eric Cheong Yuen Chee asked the Minister for National Development whether the Housing and Development Board has any plans to develop the vacant plot of land above the Mass Rapid Transit station bounded by Toa Payoh Central and Lorong 2.

Mr Dhanabalan: Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, the plot of land above the Mass Rapid Transit Station bounded by Toa Payoh Central and Lorong 2 is reserved for commercial development. An eating house and a single-storey covered walkway leading up to the entrance of the MRT station are presently under construction at the site. There are no immediate plans to develop this plot of land as there is no demand at present for additional facilities.
