Lim Hng KiangR. Ravindran

Mr R. Ravindran asked the Minister for National Development why the Housing and Development Board has been unable to secure successful tenders for the wet market located at Taman Jurong Shopping Centre, Block 399 Yung Sheng Road.

Mr Lim Hng Kiang: HDB conducted two tender exercises to lease out the new market located at Taman Jurong Shopping Centre (Block 399 Yung Sheng Road) to a single operator for a lease period of 30 years. However, there was no successful taker. HDB is looking into other ways of renting the market.

In the interim, residents can patronise a market cum food centre in the nearby Corporation Drive located at Jurong West Neighbourhood 1. There are also one supermarket, 47 retail shops, 4 eating establishments and 1 food centre operating in the Taman Jurong Shopping Centre.
