The Minister for National Development (Mr Mah Bow Tan): Mr Speaker, Sir, yesterday, in my reply to Dr Mohamad Maliki Osman's parliamentary Question ---
Mr Speaker: Are you making a clarification?
Mr Mah Bow Tan: Yes, Sir. Yesterday, I said that HDB had a stock of 5,700 rental flats. Sir, this is not correct. And I would like to clarify that this number actually refers to the number of vacant 1- and 2-room rental flats that were available under HDB's Public Rental Scheme. In fact, the total stock of rental flats as at end of July 2003 is about 52,000.
Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman (Sembawang) rose ---
Mr Speaker: Dr Maliki, are you asking a question?
Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman: No, just a clarification. Sir, we actually have 5,700 vacant flats. What about the waiting list that we talked about yesterday?
Mr Speaker: That is a question, Dr Maliki.
Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman: All right, Sir. I will file another Question.
