Leong Mun Wai

Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Minister for National Development (a) what is the breakdown by race of the 8,300 families in public rental flats who became HDB flat owners from 2014 to 2023; and (b) what is the number of Malay households living in one-bedroom and two-bedroom rental flats in 2023, and how does this number compare with the number in 2020.

Desmond Lee

As at December 2023, there were about 18,300 Malay households living in one- and two-room public rental flats. Compared to 2020, the proportion of Malay households in public rental remains similar at about 35%.

About 8,300 public rental households progressed to home ownership in the last 10 years. 44% of them were Chinese households, 39% were Malay households, 15% were Indian households and the remaining 2% were households of other races.

We will continue to work closely with MSF, other social agencies and community partners, to uplift public rental households. By pairing rental housing with holistic social support, we aim to support each family to achieve stability, self-reliance and ultimately social mobility as they journey towards home ownership.
