Percentage of First-Owner Households Eligible for HDB's Home Improvement Programme

Mr Sitoh Yih Pin asked the Minister for National Development what percentage of households that are eligible for HDB's Home Improvement Programme are owned and lived in by Singaporeans who are their first owners.

The Home Improvement Programme was recently extended to flats built between 1987 to 1997. Currently, about 40% of these flats are owned by Singapore citizens who are the first owners.
