Unequal Enforcement against Nuisance-markers in Neighbour Disputes due to Restricting CRU Pilot to Tampines

Mr Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim asked the Minister for National Development whether restricting the Community Relations Unit (CRU) pilot to Tampines will result in unequal enforcement against nuisance-markers in neighbour disputes as compared to other towns.

While the Community Relations Unit is being piloted in Tampines, grassroots leaders and frontline agencies continue to manage neighbour disputes across all towns. In addition, residents outside Tampines will still benefit from enhancements to the Community Disputes Management Framework. These include enhanced processes and powers of the Community Disputes Resolution Tribunals, which the Ministry of Law is working to operationalise as soon as practicable.
