1,000 flats at former Keppel Club golf course to be offered in October BTO exercise, Singapore News

Around 1,000 Build-to-Order (BTO) flats at the former Keppel Club golf course will be launched during the Housing Development Board's (HDB) BTO exercise in October this year, according to National Development Minister Desmond Lee.
Lee announced the project in a Facebook post on Thursday (May 15), reiterating the government's goal to launch approximately 19,600 homes across multiple projects this year.
The estate is part of the mature town of Bukit Merah and will feature "around 1,000 units ranging from 2-room Flexi to 4-room flats, as well as public rental flats", he stated.
According to Lee, the 48-ha site is located next to the Berlayer Creek mangrove trail, and residents will be able to enjoy the conveniences of downtown living and panoramic views of the waterfront.
"The estate will be sensitively designed in response to the area's rich biodiversity. It will come with lush green spaces and stepped building heights of between 19 and 46 storeys," Lee said, adding that the project will also feature green corridor installations that were based on environmental studies and consultations with nature groups.
The BTO project is the first to be launched within the development known as the Greater Southern Waterfront. In 2022, HDB had announced that the area would yield 6,000 HDB flats and 3,000 private homes.
In his post, Lee also highlighted a July 2025 BTO exercise which will offer around 740 units in Toa Payoh Town (West).
The housing project, located near Caldecott MRT station, will feature an eating house, shops and a preschool.
"We are committed to ensuring that public housing remains affordable, inclusive and accessible for Singaporeans by building more homes across the island, including in areas near to the city centre," said Lee.

PM Wong on five-day official visit to China, to mark 35 years of bilateral relations

[BEIJING] Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will make an official visit to China from Sunday (Jun 22) to Thursday, at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Qiang, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) announced in a statement. While PM Wong has previously visited China on many occasions, this will be his first trip to the world's second-largest economy since he became prime minister a little over a year ago. On this five-day trip, he will travel to the capital Beijing, as well as Tianjin. During his stay in Beijing, PM Wong will meet President Xi Jinping, Li – who will also host him at a welcome ceremony and dinner banquet – and National People's Congress chairman Zhao Leji. Zhao is the country's former anti-corruption chief and currently the third most senior official in China's ruling Communist Party PM Wong previously met Li in October last year and Xi a month later, both on the sidelines of multilateral meetings. This week's meeting with Zhao will be his first. PM Wong will also attend a reception in Beijing where he will engage Singaporeans living in China.

While there, he will participate in a dialogue session with WEF president Borge Brende and join other foreign leaders attending the event at a dinner hosted by Li. The PMO statement said that PM Wong's introductory visit to China comes as the two countries commemorate 35 years of diplomatic relations and 'reaffirm the mutual commitment' to strengthen bilateral ties. 'It is also an opportunity for leaders on both sides to exchange views on bilateral issues as well as regional and international developments,' the statement added. In an interview broadcast on China's CCTV-13's Leaders Talk programme on Friday, PM Wong said he aims to establish closer ties with Chinese leaders, reaffirm their commitment to enhanced cooperation, and discuss global affairs during his visit. 'I made it a point to visit China almost every year since entering politics, because it is useful to visit regularly, to interact, exchange notes with my counterparts, and to get a sense of how China is moving and transforming,' he said in the interview. Building on longstanding ties Singapore and China established diplomatic ties in 1990, and upgraded relations to an 'All-Round High-Quality Future-Oriented Partnership' in 2023. Leaders on both sides have participated in a steady flow of high-level engagements. On the economic front, China has been Singapore's largest merchandise trading partner for over a decade, with merchandise trade reaching S$170.2 billion in 2024. Meanwhile, China was the city-state's third-largest services trading partner in 2023, with a services trade value of S$64.9 billion. In terms of investment flow, Singapore is also China's largest foreign investor. On the tourism front, Singapore received 3.08 million Chinese visitors last year. The two countries cooperate across various areas, through a variety of platforms. For example, at the deputy prime minister level, they engage via the annual Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation. Singapore and China carry out three government-to-government projects: the Suzhou Industrial Park; the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City; and the Chongqing Connectivity Initiative. Other engagements are also conducted through the Investment Promotion Committee; provincial Business Councils; the Guangzhou Knowledge City; the Shenzhen Smart City Initiative; and forums on social governance and leadership. Among those in PM Wong's delegation are Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan; Sustainability and the Environment Minister and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu; Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow; Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs Sim Ann; and Member of Parliament Syed Harun Alhabsyi. PM Wong will be on leave on Jun 27. In his absence, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong will be the acting prime minister until Jun 25, with Coordinating Minister for National Security and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam taking on the role from Jun 26 to 27.

Home-based food gigs are great, but unchecked growth risks tipping the balance

A bar in a HDB flat in the north of Singapore. Ensuring all home-based business operators obtain food hygiene certification is a start, says the writer. PHOTO: LEON SINGAPORE – In a stylishly renovated Housing Board flat in the north of Singapore, patrons are served $24 cocktails containing premium liquors such as Chinese moutai. The 'mixologist' has a full-time job in the healthcare sector – the bar is his after-hours gig. There are no signs, no menu boards, and he technically also has no licence. Such home-based businesse s have had restaurateurs up in arms recently, especially over private dining outfits operating on the scale of restaurants. Food and beverage bosses say they are not begrudging home-based businesses' success. What they are questioning is the fairness of allowing large set-ups to operate without licences or regulatory oversight, while actual restaurants and eateries contend with high overheads, manpower shortages and strict hygiene audits. But it's clear that some loopholes in the current landscape need to be closed so that there are better all-round protections and basic fairness for everyone with skin in the game. Home-based businesses took off during the Covid-19 pandemic as a way for workers to make extra cash, and today account for a fairly sizeable segment of Singapore's food industry. An online search by The Straits Times found more than 150 listings of F&B businesses operating out of residential properties, from HDB flats to landed homes. The actual numbers are likely higher. For homemakers, students and aspiring chefs, operating out of their homes offers a low-barrier way to test ideas, build confidence and earn income, particularly for those juggling caregiving duties. For consumers, home-based F&B concepts offer more than novelty. These businesses bring a level of diversity and intimacy that restaurants may not match – from heritage recipes and niche menus to one-on-one interactions with the chefs. With lower overhead costs, their prices can also be more accessible than restaurants'. Yet, with some home-based operations generating substantial revenue approaching $1 million annually, their unchecked growth challenges the system's fairness and food safety assumptions. The Home-Based Business scheme overseen by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and HDB allows owners, registered occupants or tenants of the property to operate small-scale home-based business activities without requiring approval from the agencies. The scheme stipulates guidelines that home-based business activities must adhere to. No non-resident employee is allowed to work in the flat or residential premises, for instance, and heavy equipment and commercial-grade appliances are not allow ed. Home-based F&B business activities must also comply with the Singapore Food Agency's (SFA) guidelines on good food hygiene practices to ensure food safety. But SFA does not require such businesses to be licensed, as it deems the food safety risk of these small-scale outfits to be limited, it told ST. Both URA and HDB do not keep track of the number of such businesses. Observers say this means the authorities likely also do not have visibility of the scale, volume or potential risks from such businesses, if they flout the rules. At the moment, any sort of enforcement on these businesses is mostly driven by complaints from the public. The lack of regulatory oversight on these businesses can also leave consumers without protection. Also, the 'small-scale' premise of the home-based-business scheme no longer reflects the reality on the ground. Some home-based businesses are no longer just dishing out weekend bakes or passion projects in the kitchen – a number are operating on pretty much the same scale as small restaurants. Little Social, for instance, operates from a residential shophouse in Tanjong Pagar, charging $140 per head for a Peranakan meal of seven dishes. It can serve up to 60 guests at a time. While URA and HDB say there is no cap on the number of guests allowed in a private dining setting, they have reminded home-based business operators to be 'responsible and considerate' to avoid disturbing neighbours. By contrast, licensed restaurants are subject to spot checks by regulators and must meet specific design and hygiene requirements to obtain a food shop licence. Is it time for larger home-based operations to be held to similar standards? After all, food safety lapses can happen in any setting. Case in point:In 2021, a home-based baker's products caused food poisoning that left 15 people ill – sending nine, including a four-year-old boy, to hospital. A good starting point could be to make basic food hygiene training mandatory for home-based food operators. If a coffee shop assistant handling food is required to complete such training, what more someone who sells 50 cakes a day or serves food to dozens of guests at a private dinner? Such a requirement should result in raising hygiene awareness and improving overall standards, and have the added benefit of giving the authorities a clearer picture of the landscape. Requiring attendees to declare if they run a home-based food business – even on a casual or part-time basis – would also be a good starting point for the authorities to gauge the size of this sector. The regulatory framework must evolve to reflect the reality on the ground. But any policy shift should be carefully calibrated and should not stifle entrepreneurship. Requiring basic hygiene certification for all food handlers is a logical and necessary first step. Larger home-based businesses operating at restaurant-like scales should be required to meet the same licensing, food hygiene and safety standards as bricks-and-mortar restaurants. It is time for the rules to catch up. Again, this is not to stifle entrepreneurship, but to ensure public trust and a level playing field.

More than 70% of Singaporeans have yet to use SkillsFuture credit top-up expiring end-2025

Most Singaporeans - about 70 per cent of those eligible - have yet to tap the one-off $500 SkillsFuture Credit top-up that will expire on Dec 31, 2025, with just over six months to go. Since the top-up was introduced in October 2020, about 721,000 Singaporeans, or 28 per cent of those eligible, have used it, said SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) in response to queries from The Straits Times on June 17. The usage rate has gone up by 2 percentage points since December 2024, according to the last check by ST, amounting to about 30,000 additional users. The one-off SkillsFuture Credit top-up will expire at the end of the year and will not be extended, said SSG, adding that to use this top-up, courses must start and claims be submitted by Dec 31, 2025. The one-time credit was issued to all Singaporeans aged 25 and above in 2020 to support their training and development during the pandemic. It is separate from the base $500 in SkillsFuture credits that Singaporeans receive when they turn 25. Another $500 credit was given to those aged 40 to 60 as at Dec 31, 2020, as part of mid-career support. Neither of these credits will expire. Similarly, on May 1, 2024, Singaporeans aged 40 and above were given an additional $4,000 credit. This new credit can be combined with any remaining mid-career credit previously given. Of the courses chosen by Singaporeans, the most popular were in training areas of information and communications, food and beverage, and sales and marketing, said SSG. "Within these areas of training, Singaporeans are taking up courses related to artificial intelligence, digital transformation, e-commerce and digital marketing, reflecting an interest in future-relevant and emerging skills," the agency added. Singaporeans are encouraged to use the remaining credits to "support their career and training objectives", said SSG. It added that those who need help identifying suitable courses or planning their next steps can attend free workshops or sign up for one-to-one advisory sessions. SSG said it sent an e-mail reminder on June 12 to remind Singaporeans of the expiring credits. It also encouraged Singaporeans to use the Careers and Skills passport - a digital tool it launched to showcase verified skills and boost job applications - for personalised training recommendations. SSG did not say how many such mailers it sent out, but noted that this was part of efforts to encourage Singaporean to tap on SSG initiatives. Mr Venkataramanan Ganesh Narayanan, who has been working as a cyber security management consultant for over 20 years, said he used his SkillsFuture credit top-up for an artificial intelligence and cybersecurity course. The 55-year-old currently advises senior technology leaders like chief information security officers and chief information officers. But attending this course was to "future-proof" his expertise, as he saw the impact of AI in the workplace. Mr Ganesh said the course taught him the basics of AI systems, how to secure them, and how to use AI to enhance cyber security. "I brought the cyber security experience I had and combined it with the new information I learnt about AI, and managed to provider better solutions for my clients," Mr Ganesh said. He added that not every country gives its citizens the chance to upskill, so when there is an opportunity to do so, everyone should take the chance to. In 2024, about 555,000 people participated in programmes supported by SSG, said the agency in its yearly update earlier in April. This is up from 520,000 individuals in 2023, said SSG, driven by a push to support mid-career workers, said SSG chief executive Tan Kok Yam. Of the 555,000 participants in 2024, 260,000 Singaporeans used their SkillsFuture credits, up from 192,000 in 2023, SSG said.
