Gan Thiam Poh asked if the Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) could be extended to Executive Condominiums (ECs) and private condominiums.
The EIP, implemented in 1989, aims to maintain ethnic balance and prevent enclaves in public housing where over 80% of residents live.
The government has no plans to apply the EIP to private condominiums, as they are not public housing.
ECs are treated similarly to private condominiums and will not have EIP applied due to their private nature and ownership restrictions.
The policy focus remains on public housing, which covers the majority of Singapore's resident population.

Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for National Development whether HDB will consider applying ethnic quotas under the Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) to buyers of Executive Condominiums (ECs) and private condominiums.

Khaw Boon Wan

The Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) was implemented in 1989 to ensure a balanced ethnic mix and to prevent the formation of ethnic enclaves in public housing estates, which house more than 80% of our resident population.

We have no plans to introduce the EIP for private condominium developments. Similarly, the EIP is not applied to Executive Condominiums (ECs), as ECs are essentially private condominiums with initial eligibility and ownership restrictions.
