Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 3: Lim Biow Chuan on Master Plan review and the built environment
In parliament on Tuesday (Mar 4), MP Lim Biow Chuan touched on the Draft Master Plan review and asked the Ministry of National Development or the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) to clarify how they will take into account public feedback received when drafting or finalising the feedback. He also wanted to know what are the measures that will be introduced to minimise traffic impact and asked how confident is URA or the Land Transport Authority that these measures to manage traffic will work out. Turning to the building and construction industry, he noted the feedback he had received from many members of the public on the lack of transparency in the work carried out by contractors. On the refreshed Built Environment Industry Transformation Map launched three years ago, Mr Lim sought an update from the government on the progress of industry transformation and some of its upcoming efforts to further accelerate this transformation.
