Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 2: Leong Mun Wai on management of state land

06:07 Min

There is little other information on the management of state land and properties, such as the total cost of maintenance, or how many properties are vacant and for how long, said NCMP Leong Mun Wai in Parliament on Thursday (Feb 29). Noting that the black and white bungalow at 26 Ridout Road had been vacant for four years before being rented out, he wanted to know why the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and its managing agents had allowed this to happen. He also urged SLA to conduct a cost-benefit analysis to determine if higher rents will make it worthwhile for it to modernise black and white bungalows with amenities such as air-conditioning.
