Clarification by Minister for National Development

12.04 pm

The Minister for National Development (Mr Desmond Lee): Mr Speaker, Sir, with your leave, may I make a factual clarification to my closing speech at the 7 February 2023 Sitting, during the Motion debate on Public Housing? [Please refer to "Affordable and Accessible Public Housing, and Public Housing Policies", Official Report, 7 February 2023, Vol 95, Issue 82, Motions section.]

Mr Speaker: Please do.

Mr Desmond Lee: Sir, in my closing speech, I mentioned that the Proximity Housing Grant was one of the housing grants that HDB offers for the purchase of HDB flats. I would like to clarify that the Proximity Housing Grant is offered to eligible buyers only for the purchase of resale flats and not for the purchase of flats generally.

Mr Speaker: Personal explanation, Mr Leong Mun Wai.
