Debated in Parliament on 5 Feb 2018.
Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for National Development how many HDB blocks does the Ministry project to redevelop under the Selective En-Bloc Redevelopment Scheme over the next 10-20 years when many HDB flats will have less than 60 years left on their leases and progressively lose their value until the lease run-out date.
The Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) is implemented on a highly selective basis. The Government will announce SERS for suitable precincts only where feasible, after a careful evaluation on a site-by-site basis, taking into consideration various factors, such as the redevelopment potential, availability of suitable replacement sites, and the Government's financial resources.
