Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat gave this update on July 26 at HDB Community Day, adding that almost half of the planned 30,000 flats in Tengah will be completed by the end of 2025.

Speaking at Plantation Plaza in Tengah, Mr Chee said the planning of the new town gave residents opportunities to share ideas for the estate before moving in.

"We will continue to work together with our grassroots advisers and community leaders to listen to your views and your feedback as we build up the town. Learning from the positive experience, this is the approach we will also take for other new estates in the future," he said.

Since 2019, more than 6,500 Tengah home buyers from 22 precincts have given their feedback via HDB's Tengah Sensing surveys.

More than 13,000 Tengah residents have also provided insights and helped shape HDB's plans for the new town, said Mr Chee.

"For example, the sheltered link-ways and cycling paths that we planned for Tengah were well received by many residents, who shared with us the importance of connectivity infrastructure.
