TEMPORARY OCCUPATION LICENCE FOR ALJUNIED CONSTITUENCY SPORTS CLUB

Assoc Prof Toh See Kiat asked the Minister for Community Development whether he will support the efforts of the Aljunied Constituency Sports Club to obtain a Temporary Occupation Licence for football and sports fields on disused state land at Block 173, Hougang Ave 1 and provide grants which will be used to level the rocky ground, plant suitable grass and install football posts, nets and fencing thereon.

Mr Abdullah Tarmugi: The Singapore Sports Council has inspected the site suggested by Assoc Prof Toh See Kiat and found that it requires about $120,000 to $150,000 to level and returf the ground. As it is close to the road, a high fence will need to be installed to contain stray balls. Aljunied CSC can work with SSC to approach Land Office to request the use of the field.
