Mr S. Chandra Das asked the Minister for Community Development what plans his Ministry has to upgrade some of the existing sports facilities.

The Minister for Community Development (Mr Yeo Cheow Tong): Sir, under the Singapore Sports Council's third Five-Year Cyclical Maintenance/Upgrading Plan which stretches from 1989 to 1993, $15.2 million has been budgeted for the maintenance and upgrading of sports facilities. This programme includes the upgrading of running tracks in seven stadia from bitumen to synthetic material, upgrading of 10 swimming complexes and the replacement of flooring of three sports halls. We have upgraded the grandstand pavilion of two stadia, and improvement works will begin on the Jalan Besar Stadium early next year.

On top of this regular maintenance and upgrading programme, the Singapore Sports Council will also be upgrading the National Stadium and six existing sports facilities in preparation for the SEA Games in June 1993.
