Assurance for First-timer Flat Applicants to Obtain Units within First Three Tries Given New Classification of BTO Projects

36 Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for National Development how does the new classification of HDB BTO projects into Standard, Prime and Plus flats instead of mature and non-mature estates assure a first-timer family of a HDB BTO flat within the first three tries of application.

Mr Desmond Lee: This question has been addressed in the oral reply to Parliamentary Questions on the new Housing and Development Board (HDB) framework for Build-To-Order (BTO) flats, which was delivered on 18 September 2023. [Please refer to "Social and Fiscal Impact from Introduction of Plus and Prime HDB Flats", Official Report, 18 September 2023, Vol 95, Issue 111, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
