SINGAPORE: A new roadshow was launched on Thursday to encourage public housing residents to be more energy efficient.

National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan was guest of honour at the event in his Tampines constituency.

The programme is in support of the National Environment Agency's 10% Energy Challenge campaign which aims to reduce energy consumption in housing estates by at least 10 per cent and common areas by 30 per cent.

A new guide book to educate residents on energy saving tips was also launched. - CNA/de
