National Day Rally 2024

We remain committed to keeping public housing affordable and accessible for Singaporeans, and shaping a more liveable, inclusive and endearing Singapore.

Affordable and Accessible Public Housing

We will continue our efforts to make HDB flats more affordable, and enable parents and children buying new flats to live with or near one another.  

To provide extra support for lower-income buyers to get their first home, we will increase the Enhanced CPF Housing Grant.  

Besides affordability, we also want to make it easier for families to look after one another. Currently, we provide priority access to married children and their parents buying new HDB flats to live with or near one another. From mid-2025, we will extend priority access to all parents and their children – married or single.  

More details will be shared soon.

Remaking Singapore’s Southern Coast

In the coming years, new recreational, sporting and lifestyle attractions as well as waterfront residential precincts will progressively be introduced around Marina Bay, Marina Channel and Kallang Basin, further enhancing the urban environment and quality of life in Singapore. Residents and visitors will be able to enjoy a continuous, accessible 12km-long waterfront promenade that links the three waterbodies and provides scenic views of our city.  

In the longer term, we will be able to connect these central areas to the Greater Southern Waterfont and ‘Long Island’, forming a continuous 120km coastline of accessible waterfront promenades and parks. It will stretch from Pasir Panjang Terminal in the west, to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in the east, and including waterfront areas at Sentosa and Brani Islands.
