Encik Wan Hussin bin Hj Zoohri asked the Minister for National Development if he will consider converting the vacant site beside Kampong Ubi Community Centre into a children's playground.
Dr Lee Boon Yang (for the Minister for National Development): Sir, a playground between Block 832 and 834 has been provided for the residents of the 500 dwelling units in this vicinity. Therefore there is no pressing need to convert the vacant site into another playground. The vacant land is reserved for future development. However, the HDB is still discussing with grassroots organization and if a need is established, the HDB is prepared to turf a part of the vacant area for temporary use as a playground. 11.32 am
