Marsiling-Yew Tee to have more green features, better connectivity

New CCs, parks, 18km cycling path among improvements under five-year masterplan

- Wong Yang

Residents in Marsiling-Yew Tee can tap three new or revamped community clubs, new parks and more sustainable features in their neighbourhoods over the coming years.

They will be better connected to other places with two future Downtown Line MRT stations near Yew Tee Village and in Sungei Kadut, which will cut travel times to the city by 20 to 30 minutes, and the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link, which is set to start passenger service by end-2026.

A new 18km cycling path going through Marsiling and Woodgrove will also enhance connectivity.

These improvements, among others, will make the district a better home for all residents, whether they are young couples, working professionals, multi-generational families or seniors, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at the launch of Marsiling-Yew Tee Town Council's masterplan for 2025 to 2030 in Yew Tee Square on April 5.

Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC had 119,352 voters as at Feb 1.

A new community club will be located at the upcoming Heart of Yew Tee integrated development, which is set to be built by 2027. There will also be a hawker centre, polyclinic, kidney dialysis centre, community plaza, retail outlets and dedicated housing for seniors at the development.

Another community club next to Marsiling Lane Hawker Centre and Wet Market is expected to be built by 2026, while upgrading works for Fuchun Community Club are set to be completed in 2025.
